How can I quit SMOKING? -
smoke til you drop today then stop the next
It is really good that you have decided to quit smoking considering all its ill-effects. It may not be easy but not impossible if you have a strong determination to do it. You can follow these guidelines that may support your decision:
Make a list of all the reasons you want to and will quit smoking. Many of the reasons are obvious, however smoking is an addiction and the mind does not want to accept any of the facts. So go ahead, sit down and start writing.
Tell your family or a friend about your decision to quit. They will most likely be supportive of you and not judge, even when you may be having a hard time with it. We all know how hard it is to quit. If you are strong everyone will be strong with you.
Set a quit date. Don-t be to hasty, and make sure you give yourself enough time to get used to the idea.
Begin an exercise program. Exercise relieves stress and helps your body circulate the nutrients needed to repair from all the damage caused from smoking. Don-t start off too difficult an exercise program. Begin with walks and increase your distance and speed slowly. Begin other types of activity as you go.
Drink lots of water. Water is good for you and will flush the nicotine and other chemicals from the body.
Avoid smoke filled places at first. The aroma is intoxicating to a newly quit smoker
It-s all about willpower. If you truely want to you can do it cold turkey, rough but possible. I-ve done it. Unfortunately I started up again three years later. I think the addiction is for life, even when you aren-t smoking anymore. Tried Accupuncture last year, helped for eight weeks, but in a smokey car I couldn-t handle it anymore and lit up again.
Good luck, I-m out for a smoke now.
Have a read of the information at the website:

It will give you all the information you need on how and why to quit, and the effects of smoking and quitting.
Go to it, you-ll never look back.
either stop dead or gradually.....for 3 days don-t smoke until after 10am....then move it back an hour every 3 days until you get to where your just not smoking
I do not recommend each step I took, but here is what I did.
I quit smoking around mid to late Oct. 05 and started dipping,(lesser of two evils) I knew I could not just quit at the time. Now it is April and I quit the day after Easter. I used getting my partials as a good reason to quit dipping. I hated dipping so I knew it would be easier to quit. I needed a bunch of big reasons, the bigger your reason the more likely your success. Anyway, it takes discipline, you have to refuse to do it any more. I hope you have success. I had my wife take my tobacco with her to work and throw it away the I was to quit and that was the end of it. Cheers, To Your Success. Be strong and stubborn
Also taking Vitamin B complex will calm your nerves. Takes one every 4 hours, as our bodies pee out what is not absorbed. Remember this vite. gives you energy, so stop taking toward the end of the day so it does not keep you awake. I recommend taking it 30 days straight before quitting so get some and start taking it immediately.
I really want you to succeed at this. You can do it.
Put your mind to it and do it. Some people can-t quit cold turkey so find a system that works for you and do it. It will be better for you. My father past away with emphysema If you saw him you would never light up again. Yes it is cool at first but the end result is very real.
This method works for me and is the only money back guaranteed.
I quite smoking 2 years ago
Get the Facts
Easyway, founded by Allen Carr in 1983, has the highest independently verified 12-month success rate (75.8% for a smoker completing the program) of any quit smoking technique and a 90% satisfaction rating.
Compare Easyway to other methods and see for yourself why Easyway is called “The Cadillac of quit smoking methods.”
The Allen Carr Method
HOW THE METHOD WORKS
Using psychotherapy, the method works in the opposite way to the “willpower” method. It does not concentrate on the reasons the smoker should not smoke : the money, the slavery, the health risks and the stigma. Smokers know all that already. Instead it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.
It is fear that keeps smokers hooked!
Fear the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Fear the smoker will be unable to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear the smoker will have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear the smoker will never get completely free from the craving.
The Method removes these fears
Smokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted….
TO BE FREE!
What about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?
The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most smokers don’t realise that they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try and quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.
The Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation.
It removes the need and desire to smoke. Once the smoker is in the right frame of mind and they follow the simple instructions, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.
No Gimmicks!
The Method does not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhilators or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment!
The Allen Carr Method is successful because:
It removes the smokers’ conflict of will.
There are no bad withdrawal pangs.
It is instantaneous and easy.
It is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers.
You need not gain weight.
You will not miss smoking.
Medical Endorsements
A personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health
“I have no hesitation in supporting Allen Carr’s work. Many clinics use some of his techniques but it would appear that few do it in quite such a successful package.”
Carole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees
“his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”
Dr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital
“I have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.”
Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong
“It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.”
Dr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research
Fund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London
”...I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.”
Dr PM Bray MB CH.b., MRCGP
“I was really impressed by the method. In spite of the Allen Carr organisation’s success and fame, there were no gimmicks and the professional approach was something a GP could readily respect. I would be happy to give a medical endorsement of the method to anyone.”
Celebrity Endorsements
-His method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, while you are actually smoking. I’m pleased to say it has worked for many of my friends and staff.”
Sir Richard Branson
“Some friends of mine who had stopped using Allen Carr’s method suggested I tried it. I did. It was such a revelation that instantly I was freed from my addiction. Like those friends of mine, I found it not only easy but unbelievably enjoyable to stay stopped.”
Sir Anthony Hopkins
GOOD LUCK!
just pay more attention to another habbit of urs....!!
and day by day...go slow on ur smoking....finally u-ll be able to get over it!!

Everyone will have a person whose words we wont neglect.
If you have such a person, ask that person to keep on advising you not to smoke.
Atleast for that person-s sake you will stop smoking.
All the best.....
Put a little bit of dog poo on the end of each cigarette.
then see how much you want it in your mouth.
- try to be where u feel uncomfortable to smoke.
- fall in love with a guy who does not smoke.
If you really want to quit smoking then u have to make ur mind that in any circumstances u wont smoke or visit any nearby health centre
All you have to do is throw away all ur ciggies and start some excercise. Maybe you can join a fitness club or something similar.Eat healthy food and when u r desperate 4 a ciggie say -I will not smoke.- Usually it works. Good Luck!
Aaaah don-t bother, it makes you look very very cool.
Don-t put the cigarette in your mouth honey.
The answer is more simple than you think. Either stop buying cigarettes or find new friends who don-t engage in that habit. This custom was first introduced to the new settlers by the native Indian. Doesn-t everyone know that it-s the white man-s retribution for -taking- the Indian-s land from them?
buy some niccotine patches and gum.
I know this sounds harsh, but the only way to do it really is to stop, cold turkey, right this second. Throw all your cigarettes away and don-t play any games. When you get the urge to smoke, think of something else or do something else until the urge passes. It isn-t like it-s food, where your body must have it to live, don-t let something silly like a cigarette have control over you.
it is really good that you have decided to quit smoking considering all its ill-effects. It may not be easy but not impossible if you have a strong determination to do it. You can follow these guidelines that may support your decision:
Next time u wanna smoke ..try chewing gums
keep your mouth busy like a cow ..(only when u feel like to smoke)
Important :-)----------------
dip in some peeper powder at the tip of Ur cigarette n puff it ...
or wait for a cardie stroke ..
avoid it quickly before u make a regular trip to the Hospital
Quitting smoking is extremely difficult. The withdrawl makes us not want to, but we know the risks and we know that they are not worth it. For anyone who wants to end their nicotine addiction, check out www.stopsmokingcleveland.com. This is the MOST effective method on the market. It is 86% effective and the details of the program are on the website (no signing up or submitting your information).
I tried this program and it changed my life. I-ve tried ACS, patches, gum, hypnosis, accupuncture. I-ve done them all.
P.S. Allen Carr is only 20% effective.
