The Power to Overcome, the Power to Quit

Anyone who has ever been addicted to cigarettes and those who are still smokers with a desire to quit know how difficult the addiction to nicotine can be to overcome. The constant urge is difficult to repress, and the act of smoking is one that is ingrained deeply within the daily habits of smokers. Hanley Center knows that one of the most difficult addictions to overcome is that of cigarettes.

If you have been smoking cigarettes for any length of time, it is probable that you have attempted to quit at a point. There are many reasons to quit smoking, including shortness of breath, coughing, colds, flu, pneumonia, cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, lung cancer and more.

Smoking affects the addicted individual as well as those around them. Second hand smoke is dangerous to those who inhale it, smokers and non-smokers alike. Smoking is harmful to not only the health of the smoker, but to the friends, relatives, colleagues and loved ones around them.

There are endless reasons to overcome the addiction to smoking cigarettes. Hanley Center’s methodical approach touches on all areas associated with the addictive behavior, placing patients on a successful path toward overcoming an addiction that is a part of their behavior and intertwined with their everyday functions.
