How to stop smoking? -
does anybody know any good ways to stop smoking for good if you havent been smoking for that long and its very rare to have a whole pack in one day? usually its only a few cigarettes each day or every couple days.Many smokers try to stop smoking everyday, but only your can make the decicsion for yourself. Make a strong will and GO for it. Good luck!Everybody-s right about cold turnkey, but . . .First YOU have to want to quit for YOU. Nobody else--not your spouse or kids or anybody else but YOU.
Even a light addiction such as yours can be hard to stop. I got help by taking a smoking cessation class offered by the American Lung Association and I learned what to do with my hands after a meal or sex, and to substitute one drink for another when the first one might trigger a need for a cigarette, i.e., drinking soda instead of beer or tea instead of coffee.
They taught us that a craving only lasts a few minutes--go do something else for a few minutes and it-ll soon pass.
When I quit there was nothing but that nasty tasting gum but today there are patches and even a pill that seems to work very effectively. I have four friends who managed to quit, three of whom have stayed off of them for better than a year now.
That pill is available by prescription only. See your doctor and/or go take a smoking cessation class. I quit on 15 April 1991 and have never had another one since. Best thing I ever did for myself. BTW, I smoked 3-5 packs a day!!!
Good luck.You have to pacify yourself. Hard candy, gum, etc. Each day there after the nicotine fit supsides.
I quit chewing Smokless tabacco by placing a dried pinto bean between my cheek and gum. It worked!!!!!!! I made my mind think I had a chaw in their.
Find yourself something that will pacify having that cigerette in your mouth. Probably hard candy or gum.
Also did you try the over the counter gum or candy they sale to curb your nicotine fits??????????
Also you can go to a family doctor and he will give you a perscription drug that will take the withdraw away. Works like the over the counter anti smoking gum. Hope it works for you. I have been nicotine free now for 10 years.Congratulations on your decision to get the nicotine monkey off of your back. It takes some people an entire lifetime of coughing and hacking and they never quit.
I quit Jan. 11, 2007 and it took about three days to get rid of the urge to smoke...each day got easier until finally I was nicotine free.

After you take the pledge, tell others about it...all free!try nicotene free cigs and then when you-re comfortable enough to stop smoking all together gradually lose a few cigs at a time. or you could just do what i did and just stop and dont get tempted to pick one up again...then again i didnt get addicted...If you haven-t been smoking long i would stop now. Use 4mg nicorette fresh mint chewing gum, then go down to 2mg. Fresh mint is very important. I have been stopped a year now. But i also went on a course with the NHS.Just do it cold turkey. If you are going days without them sometimes it doesn-t even sound like you-re that addicted. Practice some self-control and I-m sure you-ll work it out.you should try hypnosis. but be patient it can take up to six treatments, i did hypnosis for a fear of public speaking and now I-m fine. and my hypnotist says that it can cure addictions as well.I-ve smoked on and off when i was in the military, and the best way to do it cold turkey. Just stop smoking. Why pay someone to kill you??just distract yourself by other things (i.e. sports, work, games)
Also it is important to stay around nonsmokers and have people encourage youDon-t buy anymore cigarettes.Chew those gums that help you out off nicotinecold turkey
