People who try to kick the habit face many quit smoking symptoms in the first week and if you take are careful you will be able to quit for good as most of the symptoms disappear after two weeks.
Most people undergo mental as well as physical symptoms and they should have the motivation and determination to abstain from smoking as it is best for them. People feel tingling in their feet and suffer intestinal disorders. Sweating, sore throats, coughing are the other physical symptoms that are common in smokers who are trying to quit.
But the mental and emotional symptoms are quite difficult to face as people start having temper tantrums and at times are mentally confused and are unable to make sound decisions. Smoking cessation starts showing its effect within a few hours of withdrawal, so you should be strong enough and ask for the support of your family. They should be able to take you out of the thick and thin of quit smoking symptoms with ease. Although quit smoking symptoms are difficult to handle, nothing is impossible if you have the right attitude and the determination to attain your set goal.
Smoking is actually connected to nicotine addiction and when you try to quit your brain chemistry isn't able to function in the proper way because there is lack of nicotine in your system. This is the reason that people get impatient and angry.
Constipation is another quit smoking symptom that people suffer from when they try to quit as the intestinal tract also slows down temporarily. And to get rid of it you need to increase your fiber intake and drink plenty of fluids so that the undigested food moves easily through your gut, ridding you of this problem. Electronic Sigarette
The worst quit smoking symptom by far is cravings for nicotine. As you have quit smoking your regular nicotine dose has vanished and because your brain is used to it, it starts to give you nicotine cravings. You have to have a healthy mindset and a good perspective about this change, otherwise you won't be able to handle these cravings.
Headaches and dizziness are the most common quit smoking symptoms. Smokers who quit start feeling dizzy because extra oxygen is being delivered to your brain and the blood that was dysfunctional because of smoking has returned to its normal functions.
Hunger pangs are also common symptoms as people start confusing nicotine cravings for hunger pangs. In a situation like this it is best to not indulge yourself with whatever food comes to mind because then you'd just be replacing one bad habit with another. Drink some water or eat a salad.

Feng Shui and Electronics
The "Black Hat School" advocates using electrical appliances to stimulate areas of your house for good fortune. These folks claim that "electrical objects are one of nine basic cures." This notion is misguided, to put it mildly.
In the 6,000-year plus tradition of feng shui there could potentially be hundreds of different remedies, not just nine. And obviously, practitioners from centuries past were not recommending televisions, stereos, and computers as remedies because, hey, they didn't exist!
This is not to say that a modern object cannot work brilliantly as an affective remedy. For instance, a "moving metal" remedy used to be satisfied routinely with a wind chime and is still considered a popular item. However, if you needed a moving metal remedy in your house, you could also use a Grandfather clock or a very hi-tech moving metal sculpture.
I had a client who was a hairdresser and her work area specifically needed the fire element. Her station happened to be adjacent to a whole row of hair dryers, which she said were running constantly throughout the day. This is an example of literal heat (fire) occurring naturally, inconspicuously, and in a very modern way. Because the fire was already there, it was not necessary for her to use red color or any extra lighting around her area.
But do electronics have any real purpose as remedies? Some research suggests the exact opposite: that frequent exposure to electrical fields and appliances can undermine health in a variety of ways. Children who are exposed to high electrical fields can even get leukemia! I advise clients to NOT sleep closer than six feet from a computer, TV, or refrigerator. And if an electrical appliance could be categorized as one of the five elements (water, wood, fire, earth, metal), it would loosely fit in the "fire" category, not the "metal" category that is erroneously printed in many books. This is because electricity is really more of the fire energy than metal.
At the same contradictory time, some novice practitioners are urging their clients to cover up the TV at all times when not in use, like hiding some bastard child that no one is supposed to know about. Enclosing a TV inside a cabinet or draping a cloth over it is not going to do anything and is really unnecessary.
More than the object itself, it is WHAT the object does which could be addressed within an authentic consultation. For instance, if someone lived oppressively close to a freeway, then it might be appropriate to play a stereo sometimes to drown out car engines with more soothing sounds of music. Or if you are in the habit of watching the 11 o'clock news every night before going to bed, you could be creating your own internal bad feng shui by making those stressful news reports part of your last waking thoughts before trying to sleep.

But there is some electronic equipment which is essential and has topmost priority. The 5 main electronics for sea:
* Battery Chargers
For longer sails and hassle-free trips, one can depend on boat battery chargers and inverters. One can also install marine generators as a part of their power backups.
* GPS Chartplotter
A Global Positioning System (GPS) along with a Chartplotter are essential for direction and a good sailing experience. Proper maintenance and repair of GPS Chartplotters is essential to avoid any mid-sail crisis. Chartplotters are part of the navigation system and integrated with GPS data which combines to form a standard navigation system. It is based on global navigation satellite system and can be easily used by Chartplotters through GPS receivers.
* Autopilots
These are electrical devices designed for sea voyages and installed in boats and yachts for navigating them with human assistance. These are essential for longer trips.
* Yacht Computers with Internet
Staying in touch with the world at large is important with standard, water-proof marine computer with internet facility.
* Satellite TV and Radio
