How to help a person to quit smoking? -
If they really want to quit smoking and are serious, I would urge them to go to (or call) their family doctor and get a prescription for CHANTIX.
It works by tying up the nicotine receptors in the brain, so you don-t have the cravings. It works really well. The person would have to work on behavioral issues, such as habitually wanting a cigarette when getting up, after a meal, while on the phone or in the car, etc.
I had tried to quit about ten times, once for 6 months, but never could keep away from the cigarettes. With Chantix, I quit despite some really stressful events in my life, and while I occasionally want a cigarette, it-s a mild craving. I haven-t smoked in 21 months.
As for some quitting tips, tell the person to take a shower when possible when they have a craving, or: brush their teeth, exercise strenuously to cause deep breathing, take up swimming, distract themselves by going to a movie, walking, staying away from those situations where the person previously smoked (bars), telling everyone they know that they-re quitting, eating celery or carrots, chewing gum.
I wish the both of you very good luck!!
People often smoke when they are nervous about sth because it comforts them for a short moment and once they are done they get nervous again and pull out another cigar.
I wouln-t let these people alone, i would invite them to go out with me, to go to a movie and have fun. when they are happy and having fun they would not want to touch a cigar. bear in mind, the idea of having fun doesn-t mean to make them addicted to sth else like beer.
You tell them every thing it dose. then you tell them what it is doing to them right now then you tell them it affects them long term and if they dont quit now it might be fatal. they also need to wana quit as well.
Throw them in a closet, lock the ******* door and don-t let them out for about a week. That should do it.
