COLD TURKEY & EXERCISE!!! that is your best bet! fastest and safest. I smoked for 20+ years and have been smoke-free for 3!! In my opinion, nicotine patches postpone the inevitable withdrawal…so just get it over with. It only lasts a couple of days. The whole thing is alot easier than you think, not to say that it is easy, but it is certainly do-able!

Hi,
I’m constanly now being asked “How Do I Stop Smoking?”
I really emphathise with you, I quit my 20 a day habit in a pain-free way!
No stress, no cravings, no weight gain, no pills, patches or gums.
The program I followed was recommended by a friend and now boasts a 90% success rate and is 100% fully guaranteed – can’t say fairer than that

All the best..

I used the Allan Carrs ‘Easyway to Stop Smoking’ and it worked!! And to be honest I was highly, highly skeptical that it would, having been a ******** smoker; 20 a day for 15 years… but I knew two friends of mine who’d read it and it worked so reckoned it was worth a shot – that was almost two years ago and I’ve not looked back – it was easy too :)

Seriously, if you really want to give up I’d really recommend it – costs about the same as a packet of **** anyhow ;)

I read a book. Sounds strange I know and I didn’t think it would work.

I’m advocating this book because it worked for me not because I’m making money from it or anything.

The easy way to stop smoking by alan carr.

worked for me!!

Buy the book “The No Nag, No Guilt, Do It Your Own Way Guide to Quitting Smoking” by Tom Ferguson. It is extremely informative, easy to read, and stuffed with different strategies to quitting smoking.

Best Answer – Chosen By You

I started smoking for a very stupid reason. when i was in college some guy was smoking next to me. Stupid me thought i would try one and that would be that. Boy was i wrong. i came home for Christmas and my dad warned me that i would get addicted. I just did not listen. I have smoked on and off for the past 9 years. My doc gave me a new drug called chantix. you keep smoking while you take the first pack of of the drug (i think its 10 days) and than you stop smoking, but keep taking the pills until you are ready to stop. My advice for those who smoke or are thinking about it. DONT even have one cig.. once you do you are hooked and for those who already do smoke. STOP. i know its easier said than done, but you will feel better, you will smell better and most of all..you will live lot longer.

Everyone is different, but the mind DOES make associations with things. For example: if you always have a cigerette when you have breakfast, there is an association. The hardest time for most smokers is when they smoke when they do something else. One of the best ways to stop smoking, is to BREAK the association of smoking. Everytime you want a smoke, bite a lemon – this makes the association UNPLEASANT, and helps you modify your behaviour. Try to associate smoking with negative things, rather than good things. Don’t try and replace it with a lollie pop or gum, because you’re not telling your body that ‘it’s NOT okay to smoke!!”

goodluck!

the number one way to stop smoking is simple. just don’t. seriously, most people who stop do just that, they stop. anything else just drags it along and most are efforts to make money off your weakness. don’t buy cigarettes. don’t bum cigarettes. basically don’t touch cigarettes. this is a 100% effective method to stop.

I just went to the doctor for assistance on quitting smoking on Monday. He poo-poo’d the patches because they limit your nicotine intake. Once you put a patch on, that’s all the nicotine you get. He suggested the gum. He said that you can pop in another piece of gum as you need it. Where as with the patch, you’re stuck with what it gives you. Hope this helps! Good luck!
