Michel in Montreal Quebec CanadaNew medication available by rx is Chantix. Works great!Nothing can make you quit (being -scared- into quitting by cancer or emphysema patients, gums, pills, patches, etc) unless you are determined to quit yourself. Once you have made up your mind and are 100% committed to quitting then, and only then, will commerical products assist you in quitting. Here is what I did:
One day on the way to work I was coughing so hard (while smoking) that I almost blacked out. I could have wrecked and killed myself or someone else. I smoked one last cigarette and said that was it. The first 2 weeks were tough but after that it got easier each day. It has been 5 years now and I have fallen off the wagon occasionally (my weakness is when I am drinking). So quit and expect to have setbacks but trust me...you will feel SO much better. I can-t even explain it. Plus, you will hopefully be around a lot longer. GOOD LUCK!There some new medicines on the market that you can get from your doctor, sorry i don-t know the name of them.Try Laser therapy.
I don-t know if they have anything like this in Canada, but a few locations in the U.S. have it.
See my source for information on it.My friend went to a hypnotist with her Mom and sister to stop smoking.It worked for her Mom and sister but she still smokes.Two out of three seems worth giving it a try.Good luck!do things that you like to get your mind off of it(hobbies, sitting down with a good book,whatever you like) and get rid of your lighters and matches.....and just stop. You-ll be moody and sick for a week or so but you get past it after you-ve had all that crap out of your system. I can breathe a little better since I-ve stopped smoking.If you really, really want to quit, the accupuncture in the ear is supposed to be very successful.A smoker always keeps a fool in the front and sucker at the back....i took chant ix and it really worked ,but i found that when i stopped i started to get the urge again so i got another perception 100.20 dollars but worth every Pennie!Use the Gum that is what my mom is doning and it is workingPersonally, i think that if you put your fingers up your rectum before having a cigarette then the smell may put you off smoking for life. Either that of just have the courage to quit - ok you will be a proper grumpy sod for a while but hey at least you will become an old grumpy sod.You have to WANT to stop smoking. I was a smoker for 10 years. One day I woke up and quit. Changed my life, I started exercising and feeling great everyday! You have to keep telling yourself that you don-t want to smoke and it-s an addiciton that is running your life. I used the Commit Lozenges too when I was quitting. They take away the cravings which helps you quit.The only way to stop smoking is to do it when your ready. Subconsciously you may not want to quit, so until you get over that hurdle even hypnosis probably won-t work. My grandmother got emphysema and still continued to smoke while she was on an oxygen tank. Her excuse, she smoked all her life why stop now. So nothing will make you quit until YOU tell yourself to.Sit next to your grandfather when the lack of oxygen in his blood from the lung cancer he has slowly kills him...that-ll do the trick.
