What is the best way to quit smoking? -
Get support. Hang out with people that you know hate smoking and smokers and tell them you want to quit and they will probably help you. Chew gum.
Buy the patch or the gum and try it out. Also you need to be ready to quit (determined). Put a picture of someone you love inside your cigarette pack where you will see it every time you pick up your cigarettes (preferablly your child if you have any). Get a moral support group (people who tell you how good you are doing rather than people who offer you more cigarettes). Tell people you would prefer if they didn-t smoke around you because it-s too tempting for you to be around. Hope that helps.
Just drop it. When ever you catch yourself, just toss it.
Its tough, and you may still have a craving after 3 months, though Just stop as much as you can gradually.
Like I went half a day, then 1 day, then 3 days, then a week, then another week, then 3 weeks, then a month....and so on.
As a TRUE ALTERNATIVE APPROACH here are some ideas:
Meditation classes: They really do help
Hypnotherapy: same idea, but a little more in depth
Chantex (if you want to go the drug route, I-ve heard this is the best one out there)
Acupuncture
(how do I figure? I-ve worked in the medical field with these approaches the past 5 years, so I-ve met the proof that it works--the patients that have successfully quit!)
Buy nicorrete gum then buy another pack of regular gum orange flavor.Dont worry about parking it in your cheek just put the nicorrette in your mouth and chew.Yucky huh? Now add in the orange gum.Wow you get both a nicotine buzz and a yummy new hobby.Do 3 or 4 peices a day like that.Soon you will be down to 2 or 3 then 1 or 2. Then none worked for me and when I feel the urge to smoke in certain situation I try to keep a peice of niccorettegum and a pack of orange gum with me.
Take a three or four day vacation even if its to a moutain retreat or a local cruise. Somewhere where you can relax and not smoke, or better yet thta its illegal to smoke like a forest or something. This will cleanse your lungs and give you the head start to go cold turkey. It worked for me, Havent smoked in 2 years :D
Think about it this way...
$4 or more a pack...what, $25-30 a week...a pack of smokes or a gallon of gas?
Just quit. It-s not that hard...after the first day.
I would say join the ymca and work out and swim and just keep yourself busy! and praying wouldn-t hurt!
Nicorette gum
Go cold turkey.
pray
