Have you tried to give up Smoking?

If you have ever tried to get rid of your smoking habit, you should know for sure what usually happens once you put out your last cigarette.
During several days the physiology is rife and rampant, as you are facing the toughest of nicotine cravings. But you have to overcome that period, it’s severe, but will last several days. Once you feel you managed to prevail, another challenge rises.
It is the psychological part of addiction that will torment you during several months, being easier-to-bear than, but still tough to overcome.
Therefore, exactly during this period you should make sure to replace the so-needed cigarettes with the following things:

Use Fresh Air

In other words, the oxygen, which is the main part of the air, can help you alleviate your nicotine cravings. If you have a an office-job, you know there is always not enough fresh air, and people are eager to get to the street, and smoking is a good reason for that.

Thus, sometimes- a cigarette – is only a psychological reason for having a break.

So, instead of hitting the smoking-room, better take a walk. According to Norwegian researchers from the Bergen University, making 15-20 deep breaths will be enough to reduce nicotine cravings for several hours.

Try an Eggplant
If you have nicotine withdrawal problems, German scientists recommend eating eggplant salads to overcome the symptoms of withdrawal.
Do not be shocked, the thing is that eggplants contain significant amount of nicotinic acid (Vitamin PP). This is why eggplants have a bitterish taste.
So, German doctors strongly recommend all smokers who are trying to quit, eating these bright-colored vegetables everyday within several months after giving up smoking.
Such diet will alleviate discomfort, but will not poison you with nicotine, since from 1 eggplant you will receive 1mkg of nicotine, what is exactly one thousand times less than you typically get from an ulta light cigarette.

Chesterfield... a brand with an interesting history

If you are asked to name 5 most popular tobacco brands, we bet you don’t name Chesterfield among them. However, this brand is still one of the top-selling brands in Eastern Europe and Asia. Of course, the brand’s best years are gone, yet is managed to survive in fierce tobacco wars and retain loyal customers across the world.

Chesterfield tobacco brand saw the world for the first time in 1873, being introduced by Drummond Tobacco Company as a support brand to its flagship chewing tobacco brand. New cigarettes named after one of the counties in Virginia should have strengthened its patriotic image and give the company an aristocratic look. However, Drummond Tobacco Company didn’t manage to expand the brand, as the famous ‘tobacco wars’ began.

The last years of 19th Century in the United States were marked by constant conflicts between large corporations and small companies, as monopolies were devouring everything on their way to supremacy. In tobacco industry American Tobacco Company was such insatiable monster. In 1898 Drummond Tobacco, despite all its efforts, were acquired by American Tobacco Company.

When in 1907 American Tobacco Company obtained 90% of the worldwide tobacco market, American government began worrying, and initiated an investigation to check the nicotine monopoly. During the investigation, they found that the company violated the antitrust legislation many times.

After prolonged legal battles, the US Supreme Court ruled that American Tobacco Company should be split-off in separate companies. Liggett & Myers returned to the tobacco market besides other companies, taking Chesterfield along.

After American Tobacco Company collapsed, U.S tobacco market became the field of active and aggressive marketing activity. Companies invested considerable sums of money in the advertisement and promotion of their products. In order to survive Chesterfield underwent major changes. The manufacturers changed both tobacco blend and pack design, and thanks to the wise marketing strategy the brand managed to take the leading positions in the tobacco market, behind such iconic brands as Camel and Lucky Strike.

However, the success of Chesterfield didn’t remain unnoticed by major rivals who turned to black PR to stop its growth. Thus, in 1934 it was rumored that Liggett & Myers employs lepers. And of course, the smokers were scared away from the brand rumored to contain leprosy virus, so the sales tumbled down, despite intervention of then-mayor of Richmond and official disclaimer by Health Council.

The company barely managed to recover from that blow, when it was hit by another wave of rumors. In the midst of World War II the rivals planted rumors that Liggett & Myers sponsored Adolf Hitler’s election campaign… Liggett & Myers had to do their best to disclaim that lie.
