wow so no one try to quit

There are so many ways. I've never smoked, so I cant say what works best. My advice would be to do some research on the internet and/or go doc to your doctor.

Ask a doctor for what he/she might recommend as the best aid/help for you, whether it be the nicotine gum or patches. Good luck with quitting!

I only smoked for 2 years when I was younger, and I just...quit.
That doesn't work for everyone however, so like eileena said, you'll have to figure out whatever works for you. Good luck. >>Eileena... |

Chantix has worked really well for many of my patients. There are however a few side effects like nausea, bad dreams and dry mouth.. along with a few others. Nausea is the most common side effect though. I've been told by some ex-smokers that the best way to quit is to just put them down. However, if you are not truly ready and wanting to quit nothing will help no matter how hard you try. You must do it for yourself and not anyone else. Good luck!

I know, right? Pretty soon they're gonna have to take out the naughty
chair and put in a couple bench seats. ...ok, I'm done. |

Although I'm not saying they DON'T work, but I've known a couple
people that had the patches, and they didn't really seem to work. ?? |

The only way to quit...
Has to come from inside.... I like smoking...that cigarette; my best friend 1st thing in the morning with my coffee, I smoked for a long time 15+ years; pack and a half a day, It has been 9 weeks now, without even touching one, made it Christmas/New years; lots of drinks and still no problem, I quit midpack, with 9 packs left in the carton, that was it. Willpower, I do use Thrive nicotene lozenges, I am down to the weakest 1mg doses, they control the worst urges ( after meals ). I don't preach I think it is a very personal decision, I did it for me, whenever someone would comment "Hey You should Give Em Up", just made me wanna smoke more. Good luck, even if it doesn't work out...Try Try again. |

cold turkey...tough out the cravings..if you have a slip., then start over again,,,and again and again, as many times as needed until you finally stop....
it was the only thing that worked for me |
|
|
|
hmm, prolly start by not lighting any more cigs...

I used the method of "not buying any." I could only smoke what I bummed, and soon your friends will stop giving them too you. That and the general laziness of not making a trip to the convenience store. I kept telling myself "it's cold out and I don't want to go."
It's been a little less than two and a half years since I've had a smoke. I'll also remind you that once you've gone the first two weeks without any, it starts getting easier. |

i can tell you one way you might think about quiting
COPD a friend of mine has been smoking for over 30years and she resently found out she had it and right before xmas she entered the hospitol with a colapsed lung which was the problem with the COPD |

any idea or support Yeah make a wall of receipt purchases place it on your wall of how much you spend and look at it everyday until you get motivated to just get pissed off enough to quit and when you quit and you get the urge go back and look at your wall of reciepts to remind you of why your quitting and while you are at it put up all the articles of what smoking does to your body along with the reciepts to remind yourself of what you are saving yourself from......I quit cold turkey this way with determination and prupose |
