The Independence Stop Smoking Support Program is a set of proprietary herbal botanical blends developed to support your efforts to quit the use of tobacco products (cigarette and tobacco smoking, chewing tobacco and snuff). As with any tobacco cessation support program available today, those who have used this product and succeeded did so by starting with a true desire to QUIT. Do you have that true desire to quit smoking? Have you tried other stop smoking support methods without success? If so, then you must consider this stop smoking support offering!

About Smoking – No one in their right mind starts smoking / chewing because they want to get addicted; in fact, most people either don’t think that they will, or just don’t think about it at all. Nicotine is an extremely addictive drug; in fact, almost everyone who uses it gets addicted very quickly. This fact isn’t stated to discourage you, but rather to get you to take a realistic view of this habit. Millions of people have successfully quit the use of tobacco products by a variety of methods and approaches, but it is tough for most people to quit the habit – very tough indeed. Don’t underestimate the strength of the addiction; if you have tried to quit before, but didn’t, this doesn’t mean you were/are weak-willed. It simply means the timing wasn’t right for you, or you didn’t “arm” yourself well enough to meet the challenge and be successful. It’s important to mentally and emotionally prepare yourself ahead of time, sketch out a plan of action, and organize your support resources. With that in mind, you should acknowledge two basic issues with quitting – the addictive nature of tobacco, and the use of tobacco for both relaxation and pleasure. In doing so, you will be planning the three basic components of a successful smoking/chewing cessation program: motivation, support systems, and coping skills.

When you attempt to quit smoking, you are trying to give up the drug (nicotine) to which your body is addicted. You are also giving up social and psychological habits that have become very important to you. As you already know…..this is not easy to do! A lot of smokers worry about how they’ll feel when they’re trying to withdraw from using cigarettes. To be successful, it is often suggested that you build a pre-defined infrastructure of support systems and coping methods that you can draw upon during your stop smoking efforts. For example, taking some time to better understand some of the “triggers” that precipitate your desire to “light up” may help you to avoid these situations as you begin to abstain from tobacco use:  People, Places, Things, and Times.

People - With whom are you most likely to want to smoke?
Places - Where are you most likely to want to smoke?
Things – With what, e.g. alcohol, coffee, on the phone, are you most likely to want to smoke?
Times – When are you most likely to want to smoke, e.g., after meals, when you first get up? Important: Times when you may be most tempted to smoke may include times when you feel certain ways, e.g., stressed, angry, bored, lonely, sad.

Additionally, it may also help you to anticipate what “feelings” you may experience as you begin, and what you may possibly do to overcome them.  Here are some common complaints from other people who quit, and what they did to feel better. Of course, no two people are exactly alike. Some people have some of these complaints; others don’t have any.

Craving for Cigarettes – Wait out the urge.  Exercise, go for a walk around the block. Distract yourself; deep breathing; drink water.

Irritability – Exercise; relaxation techniques.

Hunger – Craving for a cigarette can be confused with hunger pangs; what is usually happening is that the mouth is wanting something….try sunflower seeds!  Simply the art of cracking open the hard outer shell and fishing the seed out with your tongue will keep your mouth busy and fool it into thinking it has had a cigarette!

It’s very important to always remember – the feelings are temporary (they will pass!). Over time, as you continue to abstain from tobacco products, your withdrawal symptoms will lessen in both frequency and intensity. They’re the body’s recovery signs that you’re getting better. Once you get through the first couple of weeks, you’ll be on your way to feeling a whole lot better.

The Independence Stop Smoking Support Program consists of the following four botanical support blends:

1. P1 – CONTROL FORMULA: contains a proprietary blend of 18 all-natural herbal ingredients. The primary herbs of this support formulation consist of nervines and calmatives which are provided as support for those periods of nervous tension and anxiety that may occur when dealing with the subconscious habits of smoking.

2. P2 – CLEANSE FORMULA: contains a proprietary blend of 14 all-natural constituents of herbal extracts. The primary herbs of this support formulation consist of alteratives, nutritives, and vulneraries which are provided to support the body in ridding itself of nicotine and other toxins that have stored up in the body over the years of tobacco use.

3. P3 – MAINTAIN FORMULA: is a balanced herbal preparation of 18 synergistic botanical ingredients. The primary herbs of this support formulation consist of nutritives, calmatives, and vulneraries which are provided for continued support in periods of anxiety or tension which could potentially act as ‘triggers’ to return to previous smoking habits.

4. P4 – HerbVal Supra Relaxation Blend Formula: is a botanical relaxation blend enhanced by a high concentration of Nature’s most renowned herbal sedatives – Valerian Root and Kava Kava. Both of these herbs are well-recognized effective relaxants, able to induce strong calmative feelings while improving mental function and sharpening the senses. Their tranquilizing effects are the result of selective neurotropic action on higher brain centers, which help to suppress & regulate the autonomic nervous system.

The Independence Stop Smoking Support Program also includes an essential oil support mixture which provide immediate stimulation of the brain to help you deal with any physiological and psychological forces which you may experience during the body cleansing period.

The Independence Stop Smoking Support Program contain 100% pure herbal material. No fillers, grains, soy, yeast, sugars, binders, excipients, starches, or synthetic materials are used in the manufacture, or processing, of any of our products.
