Whats the best thing to get to stop smoking? -

Whats the best thing to get to stop smoking? -

You really,really have to have a strong desire to quit to be successful.Its more of a mind thing than a physical thing.
I quit before so I knew what I was getting into when I decided to quit 3 years ago.
I really wanted to quit.I hated the smell and the nasty ashtray sitting next to me.
The first thing I did was rearrange my kitchen table.(first thing in the morning, a smoke and cup of coffee).I did crossword puzzles,sucked on hot cinnamon candy(feels like smoke in your throat)And did yoga.
I used the patch this time so I wouldnt kill anyone at work and it helped tremendously.I started with the second step since I cut back to about 10 smokes a day.By the time I started the third step,I used maybe 2 of the patches cause I kept forgetting to put them on.(I had to wait till after a shower cause you cant get them wet).I figured I didnt need the patch anymore since I forgot to put it on .
Its been 3 years and I dont miss them.
By the way,I didnt gain any weight cause I went for walks every day and watched what I ate.I also took a green tea supplement to help cleanse the toxins out of my body.
Good Luck!Yeah, will-power is essential. I-m not a smoker, but my grandfather had been in that situation. What had stopped him was a trip to the doctor-s back in the 60-s and finding out how close his life-s deadline was. So, he stopped smoking, and to this day is still kicking around (quite energetically) with my sibs. :)Cancer.

Actually, there isn-t really any way to make it easier. Nicotine patches and so on can help numb the physical need for a while but you will still have to battle the mental needs. My mother quit cold turkey and years later she would still occasionally look for her pack when she was in a situation where she would previously have lit up.

So... just stop - be strong - Decide.
In the end you have to remember it is not about quitting - it is about being smart enough not to start.There are no magical tools that will take away the overwhelming urge for nicotine,however there are some aids that offer some relief,but your strongest aid is your sure determination! It is simply mind over matter,if you don-t mind it don-t matter! I smoked for 40+ years and quit for two years and now I am having to go back through the with- drawing,as I am attempting to quit once again! Try the Patches,check with your Dr.first and DO NOT smoke with the patches! Possible Heart Attack if you do!!!!Enjoy something healthier like a piece of fruit like strawberries with chocolate to stop your cravings. good luck...
Answer:cocote/ Now that was cool.A few of my friends have had success with Chantix. Hear you get crazy dreams on it!Determination and will power. -Just do it-

Hi there,l stopped smoking last Sunday and l am using the patches? -

from the doctors and l am doing really well,Do you know how long to wait until l try for a baby,l already have a 7 year old and l would love to give my husband another baby.Thanks p.s l did not smoke with my first childi wouldnt advise getting pregnant while using the patches, if you were already pregnant, your doctor would not prescribe them for you as they still contain nicotine.

Keep going with the patches, and after you have stopped using them and quit for good, then start trying for the baby.

All the best, keep up the good work!

xxIsn-t it funny.....my mother smoked like a fiend when she was pregnant with not only my sisters (in the 40-s) but also me (in the 60-s) and we all came out ok.

ekk ack goop wah nee haa shurr doop tak.

Sorry, just having a fit. Nothing to worry about.

gack!I think you can start anytime, as long as you don-t smoke anymore, but check with the doctor.Ask your doctor if it would be safe having a baby with the patch. I am assuming the patch releases some nicotine to help you quit slowly. If that is the case, wait until your done. But, ask your doc because they know best and congrats on quitting smoking!Sorry I don-t know the answer to your question but I just wanted to say congrats on giving up smoking and good luck!Why not ask the doctor?? And congratulations for giving up that disgusting habit.Well done on the quitting!! Well proud of you. xEXCEllent Keep hanging in there It will make you breathe better!find out from the doctorThat-s a question I-d ask your doctor. I-ve taken the patch, but I don-t know whether or not it has any effect on an unborn child. Consult him first, then see what-s best for you and yours. Good for you to quit smoking, I-m on my way too!!!!Thats brill girl give yourself a major pat on the back , and dont give up. I would try now . It will give u something else to focus your mind on and be a damn good excuse not to start the habit againCongrats, good on you, wish i could do that, not that i am going to have a baby or anything like that, just need to give up smoking........you have done well... good luck.As soon as you are off the patch then you-ll be ready to het pregnant.
