What is the best way to quit smoking besides going cold turkey? -
Go on the patch, it makes you sick if you smoke with it on. When you have a craving suck on a mint. I quit 2 1/2 weeks ago and that is working pretty good for me. Also don-t tell yourself that you cannot have one, tell yourself that you don-t want one. GOOD LUCK
Well just so you know there is no health benifit from smoking less # of cigarettes so your goal needs to be none at all. Studies have found that when cigarette numbers are decreased patients inhale deeper and hold smoke in longer and actually attain the same nicotine levels. You should consult your doctor, there is a new medication, chantrix, which is showing amazing results. It blocks nicotine receptors so when you smoke you get no reward and you will actually quit cold turkey and not even know it, smoke away and you will get no satisfaction. You will be on this med for about 3 months but beleive me the 1st time quit rate is 45% much better than the 15% on all other methods!
