Need to stop smoking? -

Need to stop smoking? -

I need to stop smoking. Like everyone I have stress at work and home. I smoke I guess to relax but I really am trying to quit. Need help with taking the first step in quiting. Don-t want to take any medications.Very Good - It is a silent poison for death.

You can not stop it by-
gradually reducing or
reducing step by step or
smoking only on occasions etc.etc.,

You have to decide and implement on that moment itself and throw the cigarettes in had.
Only WILL POWER will achieve your stop smoking.

By smoking you do not get any sort of enjoyment and whatever you feel is only an illusion and on the other hand it helps persons to get heart ailments and cancer fast.

I am writing this with my personal experience.

Good Luck for quiting SMOKINGi also ned to quit dipping snuff. if you ever figure out how let me know. i,m not being a smart a** either. this is a serious problem for me socialy and healthwise. nicotine has ben pprover to be as adictive as herion. what chnces have we got especialy when the loud mouth reformers are constantly yelling at us?answer me that,an naybe we can get someinsight as to their way of thinking. we tobacco usere are all well awareof the health hazzard involver and none of us need to hear it preached to us again. my best to you and good luckThe only way to quit is keep trying don-t give up on yourself. I am in the same boat quit 4 months ago. How just keep trying. when it gets bad I chew that gum. Feel sick to my stomach and remind myself cigarettes are worsedont stop ,let it be in a limit sweratheartburn the cigars, burn the shop that sell them, and burn anyone who smoke. doneI recently quit smoking after 8 years of being a half to full pack a day smoker. The only way I was able to quit is because my fiance and I did it together. He was a pack to 2 pack a day smoker for 13 years. We went on the patch (it may be mostly mental, but I swear it helped), and he went to the occasional cigar for the first month. We were on the patch for a little over two months, then didn-t need -em anymore. We-ve now been smoke-free for over 8 months. The best thing I could advise to do is find a friend or loved one that also wants to quit, and do it together. Support is key. Also, check out www.quitnet.com. It-s a great online resource for quitters. If you want to talk further about quitting smoking, feel free to e-mail me at agtease02@yahoo.com.join a stop smoking group (look online for one) and gradually cut down, then stop...and never look backIve been in your boat. It-s a hard thing to do, but its possible.

First off you need to quit cold turkey. Then minimize use of things that remind you of smoking or create a craving (i.e. coffee, liquor, etc.). Then find substitutes like gum, twizzlers, etc to put in your mouth. One note, if you can stand it, black liquorice is a GREAT substitute, for whatever reason it-s taste cuts down on the cigarette taste craving.

Keep a calander, and remind yourself that the first 21-28 days are the hardest, thats your body going through the nicotine withdrawal. After that its just habbit withdrawal, but the physical withdrawal will be over.You need to surround yourself with non smokers. I took some nicorette gum for about 10 days, chew twice and leave in your cheeks until the urge hits you again, When it comes sit back and do deep breathing exercises, it-ll take about two minutes and it will pass. Drink lots of water, go for walks, go to the mall,
If you usually had a smoke after dinner, go straight to the kitchen.
The first 3 days will be horrible, but it-ll get easier after that.
I wrote an e-mail to all the people I know and told them I quit and updated it every month, And they send me encouragements.
Now, its been 14 months.
You can do it.Eat a brick, turn around five times, scratch your head, and hop on one foot for a minute. Then you won-t be addicted anymore.
