Whats the best way to quit smoking? -
Hey Wizzle. I-m going to tell it like it is. I smoked for 20 years. I quit once for 9 months and now for 13 years. There-s only one way to quit smoking. JUST DON-T DO IT ANYMORE. All this crap about cutting down and drug treatments. That-s for weaklings and people who don-t really want to quit. It-s a total mind game. You against it.
Here-s your biggest obstacle. The people around you. There will be people in your life who want you to fail. Some will do it on purpose. Most don-t even know they-re doing it. They-ll get you drunk. Take you to places where people smoke. Even offer you a cigarette. Just know in advance these things will happen. That-s when you have to be strong. Also, the craving for a cigarette will go away in a few minutes. Just fight it off til the next craving. You-re addicted to the act of smoking as well as the nicotine.
The first 100 days are the hardest. I-m not gonna say it-s easy. -Just don-t smoke-. Simple as that.
.
I think by cutting down slowly then just waking up one day and deciding not to smoke anymore. Let me know if that works, then I-ll try it.

Get the patch and quit cold turkey. Don-t hang around other smokers for awhile. Remember you are probably saving your own life.
let-s say you smoke 10 p day, then only smoke 9 per day for a month, then the 2nd month, your only allowed to smoke 8, but then the 3rd and 4th month your only allowed to have 7 perday, and like that. Then even when your down to like 4, that might get tougher, thne u can make the time span like 3 or 4mths so your really slowly wind off it. Good luck to you or whoever
and you can carry those cigarette packs with you and only put the amount your allowed for the day and make it last and your going to have to make new friends unfortunately cuz if your around people smoking then your going to want to as well. Just like if your friends were alcholocs or drug addicted, you have to get away from that environment
I used the nicotine patch....stay away from triggers...for me that was having a cocktail or my first cup of coffee in the morning. Also found that having a supply of mints and gum on hand at all times helped...so if I really had a craving for a cigarette, I would have a mint or a piece of gum.....the physical addiction is over in about a week then it-s just dealing with the mental piece....it-s tough but you can do it....good luck
I-d say cold turkey. It-s gonna take a lot of will power but you can do it if you really want to. It-s a struggle (I know because I-m struggling myself). Best of Luck.
Cold turkey. Get up and do not have one. Isolate yourself and keep in mind the first 24 hours are the worst. sleep alot. three days and the chemical addiction is gone, so from there it is all mental.
Staying away is my trouble...
GOOD LUCK!!
chew gum instead
Think about all the people that love you and want you to stop. Then think about the fact that every cigarette you smoke, takes away 9 minutes of your life so if you keep smoking, your just killing yourself. My great aunt used to smoke and she stopped by chewing gum ( it is weird but really helps). Lastly, Lung cancer is VERY common in smokers. I might have not helped much but there is no easy way out of smoking, but think about those things and you can get through it with help from friends and family.
