MrShortcut invite YOU to quit smoking here at the world's largest personal website
With special thanks and credit to NCI and NIH for creating this program

Immediately After Quitting

  • Develop a clean, fresh, nonsmoking environment around yourself –at work and at home. Buy yourself flowers–you may be surprised how much you can enjoy their scent now.

  • The first few days after you quit, spend as much free time as possible in places where smoking isn't allowed, such as libraries, museums, theaters, department stores, and churches.

  • Drink large quantities of water and fruit juice (but avoid sodas that contain caffeine).

  • Try to avoid alcohol, coffee, and other beverages that you associate with cigarette smoking.

  • Strike up conversation instead of a match for a cigarette.

  • If you miss the sensation of having a cigarette in your hand, play with something else–a pencil, a paper clip, a marble.

  • If you miss having something in your mouth, try toothpicks or a fake cigarette.

Avoid Temptation

  • Instead of smoking after meals, get up from the table and brush your teeth or go for a walk.

  • If you always smoke while driving, listen to a particularly interesting radio program or your favorite music, or take public transportation for a while, if you can.

  • For the first 1-3 weeks, avoid situations you strongly associate with the pleasurable aspects of smoking, such as watching your favorite TV program, sitting in your favorite chair, or having a cocktail before dinner.

  • Until you are confident of your ability to stay off cigarettes, limit your socializing to healthful, outdoor activities or situations where smoking is not allowed.

  • If you must be in a situation where you'll be tempted to smoke (such as a cocktail or dinner party), try to associate with the nonsmokers there.

  • Try to analyze cigarette ads to understand how they attempt to "sell" you on individual brands.

When You Get the Crazies

  • Keep oral substitutes handy–try carrots, pickles, sunflower seeds, apples, celery, raisins, or sugarless gum instead of a cigarette.

  • Take 10 deep breaths and hold the last one while lighting a match. Exhale slowly and blow out the match. Pretend it's a cigarette and crush it out in an ashtray.

  • Take a shower or bath if possible.

  • Learn to relax quickly and deeply. If you have not practiced this particular "magic trick" and superlative shortcuts, you're in for a massive treat. Make yourself limp, visualize a soothing, pleasing situation, and get away from it all for a moment. Concentrate on that peaceful image and nothing else.

  • Light incense or a candle instead of a cigarette.

  • Never allow yourself to think that "one won't hurt"–it will.

Find New Habits - They're an excellent distraction from bad habits

  • Change your habits to make smoking difficult, impossible or unnecessary. For example, it's hard to smoke while you're swimming, jogging, or playing tennis or handball. When your desire for a cigarette is intense, wash your hands or the dishes, or try new recipes.

  • Do things that require you to use your hands. Try crossword puzzles, needlework, gardening, or household chores. Go bike riding or take the dog for a walk; give yourself a manicure; write letters.

  • Enjoy having a clean mouth taste and maintain it by brushing your teeth frequently and using a mouthwash.

  • Stretch a lot.

  • Get plenty of rest.

  • Pay attention to your appearance. Look and feel sharp.

  • Try to find time for the activities that are the most meaningful, satisfying, and important to you.

With Respect To Gaining Weight When We Give Up Smoking

Many people who are considering quitting are very concerned about gaining weight. If you are concerned about weight gain, keep these points in mind:
  • When you decide to quit smoking it does NOT have to mean you'll automatically gain weight. When people gain it's because they often eat more once they quit.

  • Benjamin Franklin taught that the best way to arrive at a decision is to weigh the benefits against the drawbacks. Fact is, the benefits of giving up cigarettes far outweigh the drawbacks of adding a few pounds. You'd have to gain a very large amount of weight to offset the many substantial health benefits that a normal smoker gains by quitting. Watch what you eat, and if you are concerned about gaining weight, consider the tips that follow.

Mister Shortcut firmly reminds each of us that, as with ALL FACETS of the Tao of Better Shortcuts
Tao of Better Shortcuts,
knowing something is meaningless untill it is acted upon

Some Tips To Help Avoid Weight Gain When You Decide To Quit Smoking Forever

  • Make sure you have a well balanced diet, with a reasonable balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat.

  • Don't set a target date for a holiday, when the temptation of high calorie food and drinks may be too hard to resist.

  • Drink a glass of water before your meals.

  • Weight yourself about once a week.

  • Chew sugarless gum when you want sweet foods.

  • Plan menus carefully, and count calories. Don't try to lose weight–just try to maintain your pre-quitting weight.

  • Have low calorie foods on hand for nibbling. Use the Snack Calorie Chart to choose foods that are both nutritious and low in calories. Some good choices are fresh fruits and vegetables, fruit and vegetable juices, low-fat cottage cheese, and air-popped popcorn without butter.

  • Take time for daily exercise, or join an organized exercise group.

MisterShortcut - Hungry To Present the Tao of Better Shortcuts


This is your largest naturopathic website. Decide for yourself whether it is your healthiest website.

Using the best health tips of people who live stronger for longer is wise.
The Better Health Handbook is crafted for your life,
with the understanding that you will make use of its wisdom,
that you'll enjoy the fruits of its successful experience,
and then have the decency to pass it to those who need it.
There is always someone worse off than us, individually and otherwise.
Without exception, each time you considerately think of them, or act for them,
the universe and all of its laws gives you the positively sumptious guarantee of return.
You already know that anything we do has equal and opposite reaction.
What might distract you into thinking that this fact is immune?
The rules of life that hold true most of all, all PowerGems,
apply to all we survey. Faith and science combined.
Created by your Godfather of EyeCandy,
The Tao of Better Shortcuts is fantastically vast
Tap any keyboard letter, number or character (even upper-case!) for another Mr-Shortcut website of EyeCandy and self-empowerment


Striving to bring you the healthiest websites, including the Tao of Better Shortcuts,
filled with your best health tips for living stronger for longer... naturally
It is indeed a wise person who understands and appreciates

that no vitamin or human or even surgery can cure or heal us:
they can only help us to help ourselves; help us to heal ourselves.
The sooner you take control of the decisions affecting your health,
both how long you live and how well you live, the sooner you win.
You win the game of life by living well. Keep things simple.
With hundreds of thousands of dead patients every year,
the only person willing to claim that medicine works,
is the individual who has an interest in saying so.
That's tough for you to accept. We understand.
Your IQ is what, 80, 90, 100 or thereabouts?
The Tao of Better Shortcuts is different.
Based on the findings of smart folks,
people with IQ's above 150 - 180.
Stop feeling insulted by this;
call it a quirk of birth.
Fact is, those who do better
are the people who know better.
By tapping into what THEY know better,
you multiply the chances of YOU living better,
living stronger for longer with more robust health.
You think you know more than Paul Newman, saintly human?
Forget the thousands of charities this amazing man has given to.
Just consider his announcement just after his eightieth happy birthday:
"As of next year, I will no longer compete in professional car racing anymore."
Whew! Do you even understand the physical requirements of professional car racing?
Never mind the mental demands; the physical demands alone are beyond what you do daily.
So, when someone like Paul Newman speaks about being so strong and healthy after eight decades,
does it not make sense for the rest of us to hush up and listen to the wisdom coming from a wise man?




If this is NOT the world's healthiest website, it is certainly the largest naturopathic site, for your life, with 1,000,000 unique web pages

and certainly a master of shortcuts, who slowly earned
hundreds of millions of dollars in his years... and used it all to feed people.

Eliminating any habit means, for the person who would be wise,
replacing the undesired habit with one that IS desired.   Makes life much less stressful.

We'll let YOU decide who's the top doctor in America, naturopathic or otherwise.




Between ninety-five and one hundred percent of all males will, at some point or another,
experience enlargement of the prostate gland. It is hard to escape gravity, frankly.
Saw palmetto works almost instantly for roughly seventy percent of all men.
Your best health tip is to make sure it is CONCENTRATED saw palmetto.
Betasitesterol works for approximately eighty percent of all males.
Using these two relatively inexpensive, perfectly safe remedies,
you'll heal yourself naturally at a tiny percent of the Rx cost.
Why are many using approaches with horrible side effects?

Used together, saw palmetto and betasitosterol,
both of which are natural and inexpensive,
provides relief for about 100% of all men.
Think twice before you go to an M.D.
The good ones have little money,
the bad ones collect plenty.
They're better at money
than at good healing.
So, heal yourself.
Do it naturally.


Top doctors are those who use Top Doctors Way To Heal and medicines
before turning to toxic pharmaceutical approaches.
When we learn how to be our own top doctors, we will ALL live stronger for longer
