Is it safe to quit smoking cold turkey ? -
im thinking of quiting smoking ciggerettes and not sure if it safe to just stop.
i wouldn-t recommend it. you should quit gradually as i-ve heard of people supposedly developing cancer AFTER they-ve quit suddenly. decrease the amount of cigarettes you smoke a day by one every couple days. this isn-t too drastic and not as difficult to do. hope this helps and good luck!
If you can do that it will be wonderful. But quitting cold turkey is very hard to do because of the addiction. It also depends on how many cigarettes you smoke per day and how addicted you are to them. I admire your desire to quit cold turkey and if you can do it, more power to you in the long run. It is actually a few habits that go along with quitting. The handling of the cigarette, so have some McDonald-s straws with the paper still on them and pretend to smoke when the urge is terrible and to withdraw that desire to hold something. Your cold turkey is the best way if you can stay positive through quite a while until the urge is no longer there. It is safest but hardest way so best of luck to you and I hope it works great for you. Best of Luck.
of course it-s safe to stop cold turkey mate ....... a lot safer than continuing to ingest all that filthy poison that each cigarette contains too ...... did you know that they put wheat, sugar, lactose in cigarettes ............ why in the blue blazers is it necessary pray tell to put lactose and wheat in there ...... sugar they say is for added flavor...... i have the dubious notoriety of being highly intolerant to all three wheat sugar lactose........ within one week of ditching the filthy cigarettes my permanently puffy lidded eyes reverted to normal and my energy levels shot through the roof...... my energy levels were always pretty good anyway cos i don-t eat processed food.... but i-ve got bounce to spare now.
and my skin-s just got this extra zing........ all that luvly oxygen i guess.
yes yes yes ........ just stop ..... and repeatedly tell yourself that you aren-t addicted to nicotine and there are no detox side affects..... worked for me........ sounds like b.s....... but i assure you it-s true..... 10 years ago i tried to give up and the detox was filthy and horrid... shaking sweating, ..... stress to the max....... this time round..... no such thing..... just the constant brain chatter that you can deal with by reminding yourself that you don-t smoke and you don-t need to smoke.
power of the mind is phenomenal.
peace baby

Look into the e-cigarette.
The e-cigarette uses either propylene glycol (stuff used in fog machines) or vegetable glycerin to create artificial -smoke- when you take a drag. You can purchase flavorings that taste similar to cigarettes, menthols, cloves, whatever you smoke, and then mix a lower level of nicotine in with it.
The cool thing about the ecigarette, is that it lets you -smoke- without the carcinogens. There is only the nicotine, vapor, and whatever flavoring you have. Forget about the thousands of chemicals in a regular cigarette!
There are still some very low levels of carcinogens, so quitting completely is your best option. But if you find you can-t handle it, consider the e-cigarette. Nicotine isn-t the destructive part in a cigarette, the tar and chemicals are.
Absolutely. I quit on on a new year-s eve and smoked my last one while the ball was being lowered at Times Square for the new year count down. Only problem is having cravings and I ate alot of snacks but after a couple of weeks it was ok.
(However after 3 years I started again lol)
Good Luck
It is safe. Some people do fine, some people feel miserable, but it is safe and you won-t harm yourself
Every day you aren-t putting tars and carcinogens into your body is good.
Well its not safe to start so im guessing stopping would be safe and good for your health...
You might want to get on a program to ensure you-ll stop, but yeah. Stopping putting poisonous gas into your body-s good
It-s safe but really hard. Good luck to you.
