Stop smoking? -
i am trying to quit smoking, but im really finding it hard. i-ve tried patches, and now im trying lozenges. any tips?Yes, what I did and it worked fine, except for the heat is to drink 3 cups of warm water a day with one half to 1 teaspoon of herbal cayenne in it every day. Put a little on your tongue and wait 5 minutes before drinking to avoid an upset stomach. Not only does it make cigarettes taste crappy, but it also rebuilds the lining of your stomach, makes your heart stronger, thins your blood to the consistancy of ink(no more headaches), gives you more energy than coffee or other stimulants, prevents blood clots, if you have high blood pressure it lowers it to normal, and if you have low blood pressure it raises it to normal, prevents prostate,colon and uterine cancer and it lowers your cholesterol 50 points in three to five days. It is nature-s miracle herb and it works.I am trying to quit too, except I don-t like the word quit. I don-t like to quit anything, because then I can never do it again so I call it -avoiding-. I know how scary never having another cigarette sounds to a smoker. It-s been proven that nicotine is more addictive than heroine. crazy huh? Take -avoiding- one day at a time. Each day I don-t smoke a single cigarette I write $3.50 on my calendar for that day, because that-s how much I saved by not buying my daily pack of cigarettes. Good luck, I know how much we both need it.No, I never smoked, but I-m rooting for you. Keep it up you will thank yourself in the years to come. -hug-I heard chewing spearmint gum helps.Mind over matter. You need to decide you dont need a chemical to feel good. You also dont need to buy into a huge corperate giant to get cancer. Once smoking becomes something stupid in your opinion it-ll make it easier to quit.Find different things to keep your mouth busy. Chew gum, suck on hard candies.. that sort of thing.
Keep active, and drink a lot of water. When you stop smoking your body begins expelling the toxins an chemicals that were daily building up inside, make it easier for it to expell them, and you-ll have an easier time feel better.
make time for yourself, if smoking was a stress reliever, find a new one. Learn to enjoy a short walk when work is pissing you off, or shut yourself in a bathroom stall and have a silent temper tantrum until you calm down a little.
find someone else who-s quitting smoking that you can talk to. or email. that might help you too.
the hardest part is seeing yourself as a non smoker. You need to see it for what it is. Its simply a chemical stick that causes cancer. You dont need it, you dont even want it. your not a smoker anyway. Youre a different person than you were when you smoked. So figure out who that person is.
If you can avoid smokers, do. If you have friends who smoke, ask them to please avoid you when theyre smoking, or try to limit your time with them. Ask them to try to support you by not allowing you to pick it back up again.
You can do it! Your the coolest person you know, anyway. So get out there and make a dent in big tobacco-s pocket. Youre not a smoker!The best thing I can suggest is How To Stop Smoking (or something like that) by Allen Carr.
Apparently it is very very good, after you have read it it will change your attitude towards smoking completely and your chances of quitting are much higher.This method works for me and is the only money back guaranteed.

Get the Facts
Easyway, founded by Allen Carr in 1983, has the highest independently verified 12-month success rate (75.8% for a smoker completing the program) of any quit smoking technique and a 90% satisfaction rating.
Compare Easyway to other methods and see for yourself why Easyway is called “The Cadillac of quit smoking methods.”
The Allen Carr Method
HOW THE METHOD WORKS
Using psychotherapy, the method works in the opposite way to the “willpower” method. It does not concentrate on the reasons the smoker should not smoke : the money, the slavery, the health risks and the stigma. Smokers know all that already. Instead it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.
It is fear that keeps smokers hooked!
Fear the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Fear the smoker will be unable to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear the smoker will have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear the smoker will never get completely free from the craving.
The Method removes these fears
Smokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted….
TO BE FREE!
What about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?
The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most smokers don’t realise that they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try and quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.
The Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation.
It removes the need and desire to smoke. Once the smoker is in the right frame of mind and they follow the simple instructions, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.
No Gimmicks!
The Method does not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhilators or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment!
The Allen Carr Method is successful because:
It removes the smokers’ conflict of will.
There are no bad withdrawal pangs.
It is instantaneous and easy.
It is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers.
You need not gain weight.
You will not miss smoking.
Medical Endorsements
A personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health
“I have no hesitation in supporting Allen Carr’s work. Many clinics use some of his techniques but it would appear that few do it in quite such a successful package.”
Carole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees
“his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”
Dr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital
“I have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.”
Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong
“It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.”
Dr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research
Fund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London
”...I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.”
Dr PM Bray MB CH.b., MRCGP
“I was really impressed by the method. In spite of the Allen Carr organisation’s success and fame, there were no gimmicks and the professional approach was something a GP could readily respect. I would be happy to give a medical endorsement of the method to anyone.”

-His method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, while you are actually smoking. I’m pleased to say it has worked for many of my friends and staff.”
Sir Richard Branson
“Some friends of mine who had stopped using Allen Carr’s method suggested I tried it. I did. It was such a revelation that instantly I was freed from my addiction. Like those friends of mine, I found it not only easy but unbelievably enjoyable to stay stopped.”
Sir Anthony Hopkins
