How can i stop smoking? -

How can i stop smoking? -

please help with good ans.I just quit myself. Its been almost 2 months.

First you have to want to quit and be ready to quit. I used chantix. The script is a 3 month long session of pills. Each month is in its own box, and each box has a card of pills for the week.
After my first month of pills, I thought...hey I have it licked and stopped taking the pills. MISTAKE!! I back slid and before I knew it, I was smoking a few a day again. I went back onto the pills. Now I am not even tempted to smoke. I dont even think about anymore. I did every waking moment for a while I wont kid you. And it isnt easy to stop thinking about it either. I chewed a lot of gum and took up exercising. Anything to do while I would have been smoking helped.
but mainly...You have to want to quit as I said, it wont work if you dont really want to.
Good luck!

Edit: I just wanted to add, that i was smoking almost 2 packs a day, and had smoked for almost 20 years. My husband quit cold turkey almost 15 years ago so now we are finally smoke free. You can do it, if you really want to, there are many ways to quit and assistant programs to help you quit. But I can not stress enough that you will fail, unless you really really want to stop!Ask yourself if you are ready to stop being a slave to the habit. Cigerrettes are disgusting, quiting is the best thing I could have done, it-s going on 4 months, now. I was so sick and tired of it, do I have enough ciggs to last the day? Do I have a light? I always smelled like cigerrettes, which is disgusting, I just had enough of being a slave to them, so one day - I asked God to give me strength to not -need- cigerrettes anymore - I haven-t lit up since.smoking is bad for you .. I think you already know that I-ll suggest think about the risk and what may happen to you in the future smoking is not healthy at all it may cause lot of illness .. and we dont want you to be sick because of smoking at least if you want to live longer you should quit ;) or if you cant quit try decreasing the cigarettes you smoke who knows .. you might go from 5 a day 2 a day and to 0 a day ^_~ goodluckI quit 11 years ago, threw the pack away and that was it! I went to the health food store and bought toothpicks that had -tea tree oil- on them, it-s supposed to help you relax. Seemed to work, that and a pocket full of Jolly Ranchers candy for a while. YOU just really have to want to do it.There is an advertisement here in Australia and it says that all smokers have enphacema to an extent.

Think of this way.....you have early stages of cancer ?

IS that enough for you ?call quitline and get a quit kit.
whenever you feel like smoking do something else like have a glass of water, or eat something, or slap your hand idk..

or you can try nicobate or nicorette.both of my parent quit -cold turkey- but what they did was always have a lolipop or a sucker or gum....because after the third day you arnt addicted its just habbit soo they always had something to do instead of smoking!

hope it helpsFor one week put all your used cigarette ends in a jam jar with a little water. At the end of that week everytime you want a cigarette open the jar and have a really good snifffffff!
Worked for me. Good luck!well i have noticed when i take my anti-anxity meds i will stop also their is another medician called chantix (I believe thats how its spelled) good luck!Stop putting the cigarette in your mouth and inhalingMy great grandfather stop his 50+ year habit, more than 3 packs a day with Hypnosis- he-s never lit up since. BEST of luck!quit cold turkey...iono.
