What is the best way to stop smoking?the patch? -
I have tried all the stop smoking cures including hypnosis. i have now quite for going on five weeks. Don-t waste your money on the patch or gum because one you stop using them you have an 85% chance of going back to smoking. Hypnosis is expensive because it is not a one shot deal you have to go back a couple of times. Finally, I started Chiantix and this stuff works because it tells your brain you do not need nicotine and increases the dopamine levels in your brain similar to that of a cigarette. I smoked for over thirty years and I am ecstatic about quitting.Just stop.
Messing with patches and chewing on stir sticks is just another excuse.
You really have to want to stop.
The best is in Nov. they have the Great American Smoke out.
It makes you feel like you are not going through this alone.
You will never give up the urge really, but in a month you will be ok. The urge after that only lasts about 10 seconds.
You can handle that.Definately cold turkey. It takes a good two weeks for the stronger urges to start to sibside so don-t feel that you have failed if you sneak in one. Thats when you start again at cold turkey. I halved my intake over one week making sure that I didn-t have one the same time the day before to break that initial habit. When you find yourself in a situation where a cigarete is part of the norm do something out of the norm instead. eg.go gargle. wash your hands. touch your toes 5 times. etc.Cold Turkey
has anyone noticed that all the people who said -cold turkey- on here got a thumbs down? hahaha. but really i truely think thats the best way. john lennon even has a song about it. its called -cold turkey-i dont smoke, but i believe its just will power.. find a good reason to stop and stay with it..
and i seen ppl who try to smoke less every day.. that doesnt seem to work.. -.^ they end up thinking its just 1 more then later they stazrt thinking its nothing.. then they-re back to the old habits..
so its best go Cold Turkey on it :)cold turkey but find something to keep you distracted so you dont have the impulse to smoke. all the patch does is replace nicotine with caffeinewith all of the different options available, it-s best to discuss them with your doctor.Cold turkey.
Will power.

HOW CAN I STOP SMOKING?!? -
not a heavy smoker at all ! 4 cigarettes a week but still how can i stop thinking of it?I just quit smoking this week, Monday actually. It-s easy. It-s all in your head. I know it-s hard to not think about it, but when you start to get the urge just keep yourself busy with other things. The hardest thing for me is in my car. I usually would smoke while driving. Now I just try and focus on the music or talk on the phone. Hope that helps! You have to want to quit, if you don-t want to completely then you won-t quit. Good luck!if you only smoke 4 cigarettes a week, quitting would be much easier than someone like me that was up to a pack a day. I started putting an hour and a half between each cigarette to get it down to half a pack. Just stop smoking. four cigarettes a week is hardly an addiction and not even that bad for you until you start smoking more often. take up some hobbies involving your hands if you really need to get your mind off of it but plenty of hard core smokers can quit cold turkey but it-s a challenge for them, it should be no problem for you.i gave up on january the 1st after 8 years and 20 aday, first i tried the gum...(tasted disgusting) Then i tried the patches and even though in your mind you think you need a cigarette you have no craving for one as the patch keeps this under control.
Really hope this helps....Also even know when i feel to start again, the advert where the children say -im scared my mum will die- keeps me strong.Man just decide wether you like to smell like cigarette smoke, that did it for me. I cant stand that smell. Plus it drains your energy as well. I could actually feel my unhealthyness. I mean, just look what it did to my face. Now I have to call myself -Bones Face-.ask yourself why do i need this fag-its expensive,kills me and makes my breath smell, i know same old same old but if you only smoke 4 a week then i shouldnt be to hard to quit.
do it NOW before you are on 4 a day4 fags a week? LMAO
-not a heavy smoker at all- you-re not even a smoker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what kind of dumb question is that? if you are only smoking 4 a week then you-re not even addicted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Get someone to slap you across the face each time you light up.Well when you are down to 0 a week then your doing well =)eat fireballs, the candy, it worked for me!HOW CAN I STOP SMOKING?!? -
