How to quit my smoking habit? -

I know it is better to quit smoking but cant
Need suggestion how can I quit it

Quitting smoking is a great opportunity to learn about ourselves.
Congratulate yourself on having the desire to stop - then you are over the worst, but still need to maintain your resolve. It-s just so easy to start thinking that just one won-t hurt, but it does. Just one achieves nothing except feeling the need for another. Whatever you do, don-t have just one. Beware - alcohol will weaken your resolve.
Here-s a few home-brewed tips that might be useful.
It-s not just nicotine addiction - there are 50+ chemicals in cigarettes. Also the main problem is habit.
We have been used to having body sensations which we translate as -my body needs something-, which we have attempted to satisfy by having a cigarette.
When we try to stop smoking, we still get these -my body needs something- sensations, and we still feel that we want a cigarette. We have to train our body to be more selective. When we feel we need something, we have to work out what it is that we actually need.
A glass of water is an excellent substitute if nothing else comes to mind, as it helps with the clearance of the toxic substances in our body. Another good substitute is a bag of salted peanuts, used in combination with the water.
Another thing to do is to find an activity which occupies the mind or body. Go swimming - nobody wants to smoke while they are swimming. Slowly, as our body adjusts and translates the -want something- feelings into something other than cigarettes, then the feelings begin to go away. We know its not a cigarette that the body really needs, because as soon as we-ve had one we still have the feeling, and want another!
We will have a few bouts of feeling or even being short tempered. We must try to bite our lip, and control; ourselves. Recognise the short temper as being the removal of toxins which are trying to find a way out. They went in through the mouth, and they try to get out that way to. We must learn to keep our mouth closed, and force the toxins out the other way.

After we have stopped for a while we will begin to feel that just one wont to any harm.
All that leads to is a desire for just another one. We must guard very strongly against the desire to have just one.

don-t try and quit cold turkey cause most people just end up going back to it. just use a patch or something.

Learn the art of relaxation by doing Pranayam and Meditation every day. U will do better if u learn from a learned teacher. I can give u the address of my teacher. He holds classes in India as well as the USA and other countries.

No, but I am going to watch your posts. I-ve found though that you can cut back if you are conscious about how many you smoke. I-ve went from 2 packs a day to 4 cigarettes a day a day. The biggest thing for me was to cut back on the soda. Some reason with me soda and cigarettes go hand in hand. Hopefully here in a few weeks I will be able to quit indefinitely. I also found it is easier having friends who do not smoke. *LOL* I guess for everyone it-s different. I-ve heard several people tell me they just were tired of smoking. These are people who have smoked a good 20 years so I know cold turkey can be done. My grandpa replaced cigarettes with candy.

you should reduce to smoke...if you usually smoke 10 sticks of cigarette..then tomorrow, you smoke 8 or 9 sticks....continue it for the next two days, you smoke 7 or 8 sticks and so on..

The absolute best way to quit smoking is through masturbation! Before you write this off, let me explain why:
1. It can be done almost anywhere. Unlike smoking, you will not have to find a special spot to masturbate. Any public restroom will do. This also makes it more suitable for people who work in large office buildings where there is no smoking section close by.
2. It is free or almost free. Unlike those nasty patches or gum which can run you 40 bucks a box, masturbation is free! At most, you may need a magazine which will set you back about 5 bucks and should last a while.
3. It can help you avoid weight gain. Masturbation is an excercise that burn calories and thus helps keep the weight off. Also, unless you are very skilled, it is very difficult to eat while you are doing it.
4. It works better at relieving stress. I don-t think I need a long explanation here. Just imagine, you have a flat tire in the middle of nowhere and feel the urge to smoke due to stress. Instead of heading for the pack, head for the nearest bush or tree!
5. It requires little to no practice to perfect.

When you start to cough and catch a cold , you can try quiting . The cigarettes taste awful at this time.

keep trying I smoked for 27 years but gave it up,it-s not easy but necessary try hanging out with people who DON-T avoid those people that do,if your friends are smokers ,you have to leave good luck ( P.S. I did it with out the drug store aids........you mite try those)

Best Answer - Chosen By You

I started smoking for a very stupid reason. when i was in college some guy was smoking next to me. Stupid me thought i would try one and that would be that. Boy was i wrong. i came home for Christmas and my dad warned me that i would get addicted. I just did not listen. I have smoked on and off for the past 9 years. My doc gave me a new drug called chantix. you keep smoking while you take the first pack of of the drug (i think its 10 days) and than you stop smoking, but keep taking the pills until you are ready to stop. My advice for those who smoke or are thinking about it. DONT even have one cig.. once you do you are hooked and for those who already do smoke. STOP. i know its easier said than done, but you will feel better, you will smell better and most of all..you will live lot longer.

I went onto the gum. I haven-t had a smoke for over a year trouble is I am now addicted to the gum, but the doc says that it-s better than smoking as I am not getting all the other poisons from the cigarettes. I now got to quit the gum by replacing every second one with regular gum. I was a chain smokerand have even managed to not smoke even after receiving bad news that my grandson has Leukeamia.

i tried eating candy or chewing gums. its hard. u know what? i totally stop smoking after a week of smoking weed.

I work at a hospital and have been hearing news that they are coming out with a pill that suppresses the urge to smoke.

throw away all cigarette left with you right now
do not buy cigarettes
do not ask people to give you cigarettes
do not keep cigarettes at home
do not keep cigarettes at work
donate $100 to world vision when you smoke
donate $200 to philippines out of school youth when you smoke again

How did you quit smoking? -

FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE QUIT SMOKING AFTER AT LEAST 3 YEARS without the help of pills, patches etc? -

This Thursday I-m going to wake up and not smoke. I-m determined to do plus i have a quitting buddy but she has those chantix pills. i want to just do it on my own. so what did you do to help stop the cravings on your own? im gonna be needing some methods lol ive been smoking for 3 years and its time to throw this down.

I-ve been smoke free for about 4 years now, and I just wanted to offer my advice.

Nicotine gums, patches are all bull*-#!! The key is to eliminate nictoine from your body, not put it back in via another form.

Pills are not that effective, it just gives you something to depend on. Some people feel like without the pills they have to smoke again.

Just Quit Cold turkey, No Nicotine!!!!!!!!!!!
The First week is HELL
The Second Week is Tempting.

But After awhile days pass by without you even wanting to smoke, then months, then years.

But one thing is, no matter how long you go without smoking (months/years) YOU WILL ALWAYS GET CRAVINGS TO SMOKE.
On the otherhand, these cravings get easier and easier to bypasss.

But be prepared to have and increase appetiete when you quit, have candy available I used Jolly Ranchers, candy help fight the cravings in the early stages of your withdrawl.
Cardio and othe exercise helps battle the habit too.

JUST DON-T SMOKE, WE CAN-T MAKE YOU STOP ONLY YOU CAN!!!

Try cold turkey and if it fails, try Chantix. For more Chantix information, click the following link:

try doing something to take your mind off of smoking.

good luck!!!! =]]] ?

Ive been smoke free for 3 years vs. 7 years of smoking 2 packs a day. youve got to go cold turkey, and find something to releive your habbit. Personally I chewed so much Wrigleys gum (Not nicotine) it wasnt even funny, when you spend nearly $40 per week on gum you might as well just spend the money on cigarettes.

But eventually i got so sick of gum that now I dont chew gum or smoke. Ps, you-ll go through one hell of a withdrawl and probably gain around 30 lbs.

Good luck!

I wish you good luck i tried like that many of times and failedi have no will power i finally ended up quitting off of chantix so Good luck

There is a little bit of a problem already. Don-t start Thursday, start right now!

please please read this book before you stop smoking. i guarantee you-ll stop smoking quicker and withdrawal free, unlike your friend using chantix. please read this book and let me know when you-re done

http://www.quit-smoking-easy-way.com/

p.s.
nothing to lose, there are no scare tactics, etc... worst case scenario, you read a book ;)

I started smoking when I was 16 and I eventually quit when I was 20. I was never a heavy smoker, but I just couldn-t quit every time I tried. Then, one day just like you, I woke up and decided I really had to quit coz I couldn-t afford it and I booked a holiday to Germany. Now this is probably the dumbest thing you-ve ever heard (I-m really not the brightest!) but I was afraid of getting deep vain thrombosis on the plane over, so I just didn-t buy any fags. (Before when I tried to quit I would hide -emergency fags- in my shoes etc)I told my friends I was desperately trying to quit and not to offer me fags when they smoked, and managed to not smoke for about a week. Then one night I went clubbing and lit up. (that was my thing, drink in one hand, fag in the other - it just didn-t feel right if I didn-t do that!) The fag tasted horrible. I thought maybe it was just the drink giving it a bad taste as I loved my menthols soooooo much. Later that night I lit up again, and once again hated the taste. The next morning when sober, I decided I was quitting again. I had another fag about a week after, but it tasted and smelt horrible, the most foulest thing on earth. From that day since, I-ve just hated fags. I really hate it when my bf smokes, the smell now makes me feel sick. It-s amazing how much easier it gets when you give your body a break from it. Good luck xx

Is there a particular reason you don-t want to use nicotine replacements (patch, lozenge, gum)? It makes it a whole lot easier to quit.

Quit smoking and Night sweats? -

I have quit smoking 10 days ago, I-m having night sweats still.
what is going on for the night sweats to happen and how long do they last?
Thank you

I quit on Thanksgiving Day..........still having night sweats.......also dream I-m smoking on occasion...I can taste it and everything...weird! Was a 2 pack a day Pall Mall addict for many many years. Are you using the patch or pills? I did it cold turkey...now all I want to do (besides smoke) is eat!! As to the night sweats....I assume they disappear eventually. Good Luck!
Hang In There!!!!

went through the same thing
everyone is different
for me it was when i went form the strongest patches to the
middle strgenth ones
if you are not on the patch i am guessing
about another week
quiting smoking is so great GOOD for you be proud
and keep changing the sheets
it is al worth it
as a nurse if you could see the ones who could not quit
and now they are dying a slow....over decads of misery
so think of all the postives

Im tring to quit smoking,Ive heard of this new drug called quot;chantixquot; has anyone tried it , and does it work? -

Im tring to quit smoking,Ive heard of this new drug called quot;chantixquot; has anyone tried it , and does it work? -

Like magic, and your insurance will most likely cover it. Remember, you have to want to quit...medication can-t help that aspect of it. Good Luck, my friend.

I tried it but it did work for me. I do not think my head was really into quitting.
The Chantix would make me feel like crap when I smoked while taking it. So it either was the cigarettes or the Chantix that had to go. I unfortunately chose the Chantix.

Note: I might add that my insurance, Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Texas did not cover it.
Walmart is the cheapest to purchase it if your insurance doesn-t cover it. I paid $130.00 for the rx locally and a friend paid only $65.00 at Walmart.

I took Chantix from October-December. The side effects were weird. During week one the upset stomach got worse with each dose and with each cigarette. By the end of week 1 I thought I was going to throw up everytime I smoked. Also during week 1 I had problems falling asleep and once I did fall asleep I had the most unusual and vivid dreams ever.

On day 8 I quit smoking. The upset stomach only kicked in for about 30 minutes when I took the medicine and the problems falling asleep went away.

The weird dreams continued through until the end.

According to research if you quit with the first 3 month supply you can ask your doctor for an additional 3 months. That can help increase your odds of being smoke free 1 year later.

I only took about 2 months worth of Chantix over 3 months and did fine. I got to a point that I only remembered to take the medicine when I thought about smoking.

Good luck quitting! The medicine does wonders!

I have heard three success stories and plan to start taking it myself next month.

Chantix is a great way to quit smoking. For more Chantix information, click the following link:

yes, it does work,,,,so far have heard of 4 success stories.

my wife quit smoking March 19, and was prescribed Chantix. She has one more week of the 12 week program and she hasn-t had one cigarette since she quit. She has had cravings at times, but this is someone who has smoked many, many years and was up to 2 packs a day. She said the worst thing for her was the constant reaching for the pack that has always been within her reach, but now is no longer there. I can tell you it has helped her immensely. What it will be like after the 12 weeks? Only time will tell, but I-m bettin on her success. Good luck with your decision to quit. I know its not easy, I haven-t succeeded yet. But I will. Hope you do too.

I have been on it for three weeks and have been smoke free for two of them.It really helps with the symptoms of quitting.I dont even think about smoking.I have tried quitting several times and have smoked over twenty years.I cant seem to get past the two week mark of a quit so I am waiting to see how I am going to do this week which will be my third week of my quit.If I make it past this third week then I know I will be fine and I do feel as if I am going to make it with no problem...It does cost a lot and my insurance does not help with the cost.It does cause gas and bloating,still waiting for that to go away as stated that it will,and also I get dizzy headed which bothers me most of all so I have cut back on my dosage from the prescribed two one mg. to only one pill a day and it still works at that dosage so far.But I think to be total smoke free you have to make a comentment to live a smoke free life.The pill just helps you have to do the work

I have been on the meds for one month now. I am two weeks without a cigarette. Taking Chantix was the best decision that I ever made. It has been so much easier than I thought. I am so glad that I did it! Just so that I don-t sound like a commercial let me tell you some negatives: 1. cost- It is expensive (i think before my insurance it was over 100.00/month, but I actually only paid around 45.00) but it is way less than I would have spent on cigarettes. 2. Side effects- the wierd dreams were something, but I could live with them. The naseua was unbearable at times. Remember, take with plenty of food and water. It can be severe. The 2nd pill of the day was the wrost for me but I figured out if I took 1/2 of that pill with dinner and 1/2 before bed it was much better.
Good Luck!!!!!

Im tring to quit smoking,Ive heard of this new drug called quot;chantixquot; has anyone tried it , and does it work? -

Has anyone tried the new RX Chantix to quit smoking? -

My doctor suggested this medication for me as i am a heavy smoker (yes i know i should be ashamed). I have tried many times and several different ways to quit but as of yet i have not found anything that works for me, and i am motivated and ready but that nicotine just bites me in the a$$ everytime. My problem is it cost $150 for a months supply and i live on a fixed income. i just wanted to know if anyone has had any success trying this RX.

p.s Please no dirty answers, I am serious

If you-re motivated then Chantix would be good for you. I took it for almost 3 months (starting last October) and I quit smoking on day 8. Chantix did a great job on getting rid of the physical cravings. The behavioral side isn-t helped by the medicine so that-s where the motivation comes in.

There are a few side effects that appear to be rather common. Upset stomach, trouble sleeping and weird dreams seem to be the majority.

For me the upset stomach only lasted about 30 minutes after I-d take the medicine. It wasn-t pleasant but I figured it was a small price to pay. The weird dreams continued for me the entire time I took the medicine.

You-ll do great on the medicine! You might have a hard time affording it but after a couple of months just think about all of the money you-ll be saving in the future.

This stuff is a miracle drug. You only have to take it about 3 months...think of how much cigarettes will cost you down the road. You can smoke all you want the first week of starting it...then you have a quit day and they up your mg-s. A little nausea ( nothing a big glass of water doesn-t cure) and NO cravings at all. Lots of emo support if you need it...plus lots of cool statistics they-ll throw at you everyday if you want. Works way differant then any gum or patch...no withdrawal from them either. Try it...it-s well worth the money. PS my insurance covers it...check it out.

A drug to make you not crave a drug. Hmmm.
Well, doctors are glorified drug-pushers, so it-s not surprising.
Have you tried accupuncture?
I know that drugs are poisonous, so I would not consider asking a medical doctor about...anything.

I personally have not tried this product yet but my mother who smoked for 40 years has had great success with it. I also know several other people who have been very successful with it.

Just to encourage you a little more, I took it and I have been smoke free for four month! I smoked a pack (at least) a day for ten years and I had tried everything! It was expensive, and honestly cheaper to buy a pack (or two) of smokes, but honestly, now I don-t pay for either!!! Plus, I can walk a lot farther and faster and I don-t feel bad at all!

Tip: It says to eat before taking the medication....make sure you do or you will feel nauseous for a while...

Chantix is an excellent way to quit smoking with few side effects. For more Chantix information, click the following link:

How did you quit smoking? PLEASE HELP!!!? -

I-m 26 and I-ve been smoking since I was around 11 or so ( yea I know )...I REALLY want to quit. I-ve tried cold turkey before and I just got really sick and started smokig again. I-d appreciate any advice or tricks on quitting.Thank you.

hi Krys ..

did the same thing myself.. i smoked for over 40 years,, tried a number of times to quit..cold turkey, the patches etc.. for me the only thing that worked was participation in a support group..

i am a member of nicotine anonymous, and attend meetings both locally and on line.. meetings are as close as your computer.. however you decide to quit good luck!! there is no wrong way to quit..

Nicotine Anonymous is a Non-Profit 12 Step Fellowship of men and women helping each other live nicotine-free lives. Nicotine Anonymous welcomes all those seeking freedom from nicotine addiction, including those using cessation programs and nicotine withdrawal aids. The primary purpose of Nicotine Anonymous is to help all those who would like to cease using tobacco and nicotine products in any form. The Fellowship offers group support and recovery using the 12 Steps as adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous to achieve abstinence from nicotine.

my grandpa died from smoking. but he did quit when he was 30 or 40,, i forget. my grandma told me he joined a class sort of like AA. there was around 80 people in the class. him and another guy were the only people that actually quit. as you can see quitting is really hard. but find something to quit for. he had 4 sons. it worked for him. he died at the age of....76 i think. but he would-ve died WAY earlier if he didn-t quit. he also had polio when he was 26 which also contributed to his illnesses. he was the toughest guy i knew. so please try your very hardest to quit. go join a class or something. quit with someone you know, it will help.

I have never smoked my friend smokes 2 packets everyday, but he left it all of a sudden, how??? I asked him he said me that he hated some food i do not know which one, he used to stick it to the cigerrate butt and when he touched it to his lips when he could not control, he had the bad taste of the food and automatically he through it..Nice i liked his idea...

I JUst threw them away. Smoke pot for a month or two, then if you wanna give that up, its much easier. POT ISNT PHYSICALLY ADDICTING, NICOTINE IS MORE ADDICTING THEN HERIONE. Or decolp a caffiene addiction and drop that, though a caffiene addiction is harder to break then pot is, ur choice. Though pot has very very few aftereffects, so i never dropped it, i get high now 1-3 times a month, very fun.

How did you quit smoking? PLEASE HELP!!!? -

Can anyone explain how laser treatment helps you quit smoking? Does it actually work? -

Hi Berty,
It is great to note that you are in the process of deciding to quit. It is clear that you are looking at using laser treatment for quitting.
I teach Health Sciences in a Major University and read such literature often.
If you used laser treatment alone you are not likely to quit smoking because objective data does not state that this method is successful. The manufacturers of laser equipment and -treatment specialists- who use laser treatments do say it works.
When you finally decide to quit here are some suggestions.
1. Make your decision to quit yourself. Do not decide to quit because other people are telling you to do so. The decision to quit must be yours so that you can give yourself credit for the success and feel good about it.
2. If you smoke more than 10 cigs. per day you may want to see your doctor.
3. When you get the urge to smoke - you need to say to yourself, -I can do without it? or Why am I smoking?-. At this point you may want to use a distraction or a combination of several distractions. Examples of distractions include: Short walks, reading something, watch a movie, driniking water. Try not to eat a chocolate because then you are substituting one bad habit for another.
4. Nicotine Patches - are helpful for people who are addicted to smoking. The decision to quit must be yours and yours alone.
5. Try and get a friend or family member to quit at the same time. This way you have honest feedback about your success.
6. The first day or two will be the hardest. Addictive disorder signs and symptoms reach their peak after 72 hours. After that it will begin to get better.
7. Other things to keep in mind: a. Do not hang out with people who smoke or people who encourage you to smoke.
b. Do not frequent your usual smoking spots.
c. Stay focussed. Think of the benefits of quiting - no smelly clothing, lower cancer, lower hypertension, lower heart attacks, more money saved, less cough, sleep better, no cold feet, no COPD, healthier environment, time saving, less cleaning, better relationship with friends and family, not like kissing an ashtray when maing love.
Laser treatment is a minor tool to help produce endomorphins. It is very minor. Your resoultion will determine your success or failure. Not the treatment choice.
You are in the process of making a major decision. Make it and stick with it. You will succeed.
You have not failed till you stop trying.
Good Luck and Best Wishes.

Only if it disconnects your brain.

is that the same treatment that will laser your hands off? if it is, then yes.

I had laser treatment twice. It-s a device which they go all over your pressure points and it-s suppose to put endorphins back into your body.That it does and if you weren-t a heavy smoker. Say if you only smoked not even half a pkg. per day It would help you.For me it didn-t I wasted two hundred bucks.I also had acupuncture and that was useless.When I left the office and got in my car I took the little pressure stints out .I also tried the patch that was hell.SO it-s just I didn-t want to quit I guess.It-s a habit and none of theses things helps the only thing will help is willpower.Hope I answered all your thoughts on ways to quit.Good Luck I just can-t quit.

I-ve never heard of this method, but it doesn-t sound like it would work or safe. Just do it on your own...Cold Turkey. Yeah it will be hard at first, but then you will be over it and glade that you did it at all.

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!

nope! i have never heard of that! chew the gum or use the patches they work wonders! they are bit expensive but, think of how much money you will save when you quit smoking?? if your going to quit i hope you will stick with it! good luck!!

It doesn-t work, only good oldfashioned willpower.

Can anyone explain how laser treatment helps you quit smoking? Does it actually work? -

How did YOU quit smoking? -

my parents, everytime they quit (quit probably is not the best word...took a break, rather? lol) but hey just stopped cold turkey.

Those that have quit...how did you do it? Did you have to use gum or patches?

cold turkey

I stopped having sex.

My first experience was Auriculo therapy. It helped me to not experience withdrawal symptoms and store this sensation in my memory. Helping me going cold turkey. However it took this very strong image to quite from one moment to another.
It was the desire to be with my children for a long time to come and stay actively involved in their lives. I saw smokers growing old so fast that the idea to become a burden to my kids was awful. Also not being strong enough to help them or my grandchildren, if anything would happen to them at a later age was enough to never feel the need to smoke again. Who knows what you can visualize to stop wholeheartedly.

well / when i was smoking /my older son / was 5 at the time / i had 2 boys / and they wanted to do something /or play / i would say / when I-m done smoking /if your a smoker /u know how difficult that was / well that year / the great smoke out day / rolled around /and LO AND BEHOLD / i threw my smokes away /and have not had a smoke since then /my older boy /is now 33 years old

My mom just read a book and whenever she would think of one she would start cleaning

My husband quit 9 months before I did. Of course that made it easier for me. Finally, after smoking 2 packs of Winston (regular) for over 20 years, I just decided to quit. I heard something on TV about second -hand smoke, which was just beginning to be taken seriously back then. So that is what inspired me to quit. I had seen how my husband had quit so easily; no patch no nothing. So I stopped. I missed them for about 2 weeks. Otherwise it was very easy. I guess you just have to WANT to quit. My husband never bugged me to quit. He just quit, never complained, and never bit**ed at me to quit. I just wanted to, and felt proud to say , -I don-t smoke.-

I had surgery and told the anesthesiologist to keep telling me I would not smoke anymore. As I was going under, he was saying this, and I have not wanted a cigarette since. This was almost 2 yrs ago and I had smoked for 40 yrs. I had tried gum, patches and cold turkey with no luck, and seemed to smoke even more.

swap the smokes for sugarfree stuff like chewing gum for sugarfree lollies, everytime you feel like a smoke eat one or chew chewwing gum, its hard for the first week or so but it does get easier, if you cant quit cold turkey then have half a smoke every now and again, not all the time though, limit your smokes at first to maybe 5 a day for a couple of days and then lower the amount every day and so on goodluck!!

How did YOU quit smoking? -

Im pretty sure i quit smoking for good but? -

i find myself not knowing what to do with myself now is that a normal part of quitting ad how long does it last for

I quit smoking two months ago. I also do not know what to do with myself, with my hands actually. It is a normal thing to feel more fatigued and a little jittery, to eat a bit more, to be a bit grouchy. As far as how long these symptoms continue, perhaps months.

Yes. Tobacco turns on the head all personality, not only metabolism. It slowes down mental proceses and in that way -solves- our troubles. When we quit smoking, all the -waiting- problems reinitialize their activity, and find us more or less unprepared. Metabolism is another great problem to be resolved. Metabolic proceses have been changed seriously during smoking period and are found in some sort of chaos. Enough heavy phisical activity helps the body to regenerate natural metabolism, end to free us from nerve tensions which come with healthier nerve activity. That and some photo of the polmons after 30 years of smoking on the obduction desk should help you to overcome this painfull period , which can last about one month or maybe some more, which depends to your activities. Here we are a lot of the sort.

When you quit an addiction, it-s important that you replace it w/something else. It fills that irritating void. Maybe you could take up a hobby that kills time and occupies your hands? Good luck.

Yep I stopped about 3 yrs ago and only over the last 12 months don-t think about it any more. Don-t go near those little suckers again.

Quit smoking? -

Ok here is the skivy. I smoked from about 17-20 not all the time but i would have maybe 2 a day, so i guess you can say i was a casual smoker. Well then when i met my x-husband he made me quite, so i did cold turkey. No pills, gum nothing. Then about a year ago i started back up around the time i was going threw my divorce. So now i-m 26 and its been about a year since i started again. Again i-m still a casual smoker, but i prob. go threw about 10 of them when i-m out drinking. Not smoking during the day or when i-m sitting at home is not an issue, thou when i do have a stressful day i-ll light one up, but its just this bad habit when i-m out having a few that i want to stop all together! I know some of you may say stop drinking, but its not like i go out every night, its just maybe one day a week, and then maybe once on the weekend. So i-m wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what i can do with out taken over the counter meds or contacing my doc to quite! Thanks

Put a single bead on an elastic thread and tie it to your wrist. when you get a craving snap it on the wrist bone. Worked for me! I-m not kidding! The snap is enough ouch to get you to think about something else (the minor pain in your wristbone) enough time that the craving will pass.

Ya same with me. I dont smoke cigs that much unless I-m drinking or just under stress/after a stressful situation. And that I think is even harder than just quitting if you do a lot a day. Because when I tried quitting and something stressful happened it was impossible to just not have one.

I think you just need to find something else to relieve your stress. Good luck!

well theres this really good gum nicotine gume buts its kinda expensive it helped my granpa sorry i forgot no gum

Why do you get ulcers in your mouth after you quit smoking? -

Often times when you quit ingesting poisonous substances, for a time afterwords, your body forces these poisons out. creating sores, boils, and the like. it may take a while, but drink lots of water to help, and maybe consider a toxin flush. eventualy, it will subside. Congrats!

No, that does not sound normal. You should see a DR.

I quit smoking and is this normal? -

It-s been about 2 months apprx. since I quit. I just joined a gym cause I have gotten a little chunky. I feel better and breathe better, now, but I have the hardest time with losing weight. Do you think I should get a personal trainer for a couple sessions to have someone motivate me? I am also worried about the expense of one, and if it would be worth it.

Your metabolism is not as fast as when you were smoking. Whenever you smoke, your blood pressure and heart rate elevates, causing a higher rate of metabolism. Plus, many time people replace the smoking with eating. If you begin an exercise program of any kind and follow a healthy diet, you will eventually lose the weight. I joined Curves once and it was structured and had a nutritionist to help the clients. I lost 40 lbs in a few months and it wasn-t that difficult. Good luck.

I wouldn-t worry about the expense so much. Since you are no longer smoking, you have extra income you aren-t using. You don-t need a personal trainer forever. Just have them create a plan with you, show you how to use the equipment properly, and then take it on your own. But if you just joined a gym, they probably offer a complimentary session with one of their trainers.

it-s normal, especially that you-re a female, since females are more determined in shifting into positive way of life.

look up acai berry and colon cleanse diet
TOTALLY SAFE, seen on oprah and everything, and it-s natural.
free trails found online, just pay shipping too.
:)
btw, congrats on quitting

How do i quit smoking? i ve been trying since very long but ? -

its been 5 long years i ve been smoking but now my man does not want me to ... he gave me lot of time to quit .... i ve been hiding it ffrom him tht dont smoke now... but in my heart i know i m cheating him as he trusts me... but pls help me how do i quit tht

If you really want to quit ... you will ... cold turkey ... just throw them out. You say it can-t be done .... BULL ... that-s what the ad companies tell you ... you-re weak and need their product to quit. I smoked 1.5 packs per day for many years ... at one time it was 3 packs a day. I quit ... cold turkey. My story / secret : I was teaching martial arts, one day after a hard / fast workout (which I led), my students recovered their breath before me. I walked out of the temple, threw the pack in the trash ... in front of my students ... I haven-t smoked since ... it-s about willpower ... yes ... for a long time I wanted a smoke but I always remembered that moment of being winded and knew that would be a normal state IF I kept smoking. Yes ... smoking really does screw-up your lungs. I like being able to breath without an oxygen tank ... take long walks ... swim ... it-s your choice ... life or a living death ....

Smokers are having hard time just to quit smoking but what can I really suggest is to do it with your own will and with your heart and mind showing eagerness to reach your goals not because somebody requested it to you. Stopping abruptly can lead to further problems. You may experience some feelings of withdrawal but you can also manage it thoroughly. Start it with eliminating the maximum sticks you may consume a day and do it gradually.

This programme focuses on using your mind and the art of visualization to draw in universal life force energy, to not only protect yourself from disease, but to help you stop smoking. This method has been tried and tested and proven to work!!

Good Luck :)

You can try over-the counter herbal pills, nicorette, the patch, prescription pills like zyban, or cold turkey. Stop buying them and reduce yourself to bumming one when necessary. there-s also many stop-smoking sites that will help you. Good luck!

Just throw the last butt and forget that there is something called cigarettes in the world.
Try to keep yourself engaged as best as you can.
Leave the Company of smokers.

the best way is to quit cold turkey also chew on a straw or gum it helps but the best way is to find something to keep your mind off of it trust me it works

you have to either will yourself to do it or find a substitute, it-s your choice

Overdose yourself with sigarettes, the next day you-ll be so sick and disgusted you-ll never smoke again.

go online to how to quit smoking or other websites and the websites tell you how to stop.

you don-t quit for anyone but yourself. when you start worrying about your health...THEN maybe you-ll quit.

How do i quit smoking? i ve been trying since very long but ? -

Is it ever easy to quit smoking? please answer? -

My dad smoke for like 3 yrs ? Then he promised he would quit when we moved to our new house. And he did. He really QUIT. just like tht. (its been 10 yrs) he did cheat one tho when he was REALLY pissed off - stressed. then he completely stopped.

.. im just really confused. was he like not as addicted or something ? ( im 15 btw )

it all depends on the person-s will.
well, i smoked for like... 6 months (quit by the way) because i was curious; i wanted to see what was so good about smoking, found out nothing was.
i just smoked because my friends did. one time though, i felt really light-headed and kind of dizzy. i believe i consumed too much nicotine. so your body might give you a sign when you should stop and i did stop after that day because i didn-t want to be addicted ^^.
but since your dad smoked for 3 years, he could-ve and should-ve been addicted. if your dad didn-t really inhale the cigarettes all the way, then it wouldn-t be too hard to quit. but if he did inhale them all the way, that means he was able to quit because of his love for you and your family.

It is never easy to quit smoking. Your dad had to make some major personal changes in himself, his life, and his routine to accomplish it and it took more than just guts. If you ever wonder somedays whether your Dad loves you and your family, you don-t have to go to far to see that he does.

Every person is different, every brain, every receptor in each person-s brain is different than another person-s. So we cannot judge others as failures or weak when they try again and again without success.
Each try is a step to success.

I was a packet a day smoker, i started when i was 14 years old, when there were no health risks mentioned like these days......i went cold turkey and have been off the ciggies for 8 years, i still now and then crave one especially when i go out for a few drinks...so i guess i will always be an addict!

Well my dad smoked for about 10 years? He tried quitting 3 times in the duration. One in 1994, 2000, and a couple of months ago. Well now he has finally done it. He told me that it was really hard for him. I just guess you really have to be mentally about it.

How do I make my BF want to quit Smoking? -

How do I make my BF want to quit Smoking? -

I know he has to want to but how can I inflict that upon him? His father smokes and my bf has smoked since he was 12 hes 23 now

Happened to me too, my gf wanted me to quit but it was so hard, the thing is that i wanted but i couldn-t.

I just looked around the internet and found all kind of techniques and motivations but while i was searching in google on different methods, i found this website: http://www.thequitsmokingsecret.com which pretty much helped me a lot. Take a look and maybe show it to him.

Hope that helps

It-s time to do some thinking. You knew he was a smoker when you started a relationship, didn-t you? You obviously saw other things in him which were more important to you than the fact that he smoked. Now those things matter less, and you are starting to be bothered by his bad habit. The question is, how many other -bad habits- of his will begin to bother you? When people tell you that you cannot -make- him want to quit, they are telling you what you already know. The focus needs to be on why this is suddenly so important when earlier it wasn-t. Does this relationship need some evaluation? That-s the question you need to be asking, because you are unlikely to be happy unless you can accept him the way he is, smoking and all.

Unfortunately hun it-s one of the most difficult things to give up - he-ll only do it when HE wants to not when you-re telling him to. If he-s smoke for nearly half his life already then it-s gonna be very difficult. You need to talk to him - just tell him that you don-t like that he smokes and you would appreciate it if he didn-t around you. If you want him to quit - you want the facts. 1) Smoking increases the chances of lung cancer - my uncle died last may with cancer he was diagnosed december 2006 and died may 2007 - it was incurable so it-s no myth - increases risk of throat cancer 2) Smoking increases the risk of other respiratory diseases, emphysema, bronchitis which could lead to him being on oxygen in later life - permanently. 3) It increases blood pressure increases risks of stroke - heart attacks. 4) It stinks, it-s unsightly, it tastes like your kissing an ash tray. It clings to your clothes, hair. Ruins your teeth.

I got my partner to quit smoking but thats only because of how upset it made me because of my uncle. If he loves you - it-s something you detest he would stop for you but it-s not really as simple as that.. lets say he would at least cut back

he will know the consequences of smoking and no amount of nagging, telling him the benefits of stopping and the dangers of not will make him quit. Unfortunately if he doesn-t want to quit then he won-t. He will be addicted and like all addictions it is very hard to quit.

if it is such a huge issue then tell him you will leave him if he doesn-t stop. If that doesn-t make him want to stop then I guess you know he loves smoking more than you!

show him pictures of the consequences of smoking
and if he truly loves you, he would listen to your concerns

you cant force someone to quit honey, otherwise your as bad as the goverment =/

Quit putting out until he quits

Let him make his own damn decisions woman!

Instead of telling him to quit, join yourself. heh heh

tell him you dnt wna kiss an ash trey

How do I make my BF want to quit Smoking? -

What is the first thing to do to quit smoking? -

Yes, you have to want to quit like everyone says. Use the nicoteine patch...it helps a lot. Get gum, peanuts, etc. Get something to keep your hands busy...a small cushy ball to squeeze. Go see the ventillator patients unit at your local hospital. Then you-ll see reasons why you should quit ASAP.

#1 You need to have a desire to quit

w/o this factor it-s usless to try BTDT about 10 times

Stop buying them.

will power, make yourself quit.

You Got To Want To Quit.

A support group.
Somebody to help and encourage you to stop.

All that other stuff is useless unless you have somebody that wants you to quit.
Then, you won-t need any of that other stuff.

The first thing you have to do is have a STRONG desire to quit. If you don-t, no program will work. Then decide which of the many programs out there sounds like it might work for you. If you fail the first time, don-t give up. Try again, maybe in a different way the second time. For the first month, do your best to stay away from smoking triggers like clubs. I will be celebrating one year smoke free on February 28th. I went for three private sessions of hypnosis and it worked. Good Luck.

i quit last week
get some candies, nuts, something to drink that you like(a lot)
get yourself busy
dont buy cigs
get fresh air
think negative about smoking

You have to really want to.

First, you got to put your mind to it, and then you need to try and do the smoke patch or the nicotine chews that make you stop smoking.

Mentally prepare yourself. Give yourself a few weeks with a date in mind when you are going to quit. Smoke all you want until then but when your date gets here, you stop. Most importantly, throw all your cigarettes away so they are not there to temp you.

Good luck with quitting. You don-t realize how bad you feel when you smoke until you quit.

How did you quit smoking ciggarettes? -

My boyfriend is trying to quit and he is driving me crazy! do you have ANY advise that I can give him?

How anyone can recommend Chantix is beyond me - people are killing themselves on it!

Have him check out electronic cigarettes. People are using them as a reduced harm smoking alternative and then lots of people are successfully using them to quit completely (like me).

Have him check out vapersforum.com a forum dedicated to e-cigs lots of info and nice people to answer questions and checkout some videos on youtube.
There are lots of options so make sure to do a little research before buying one as prices vary by A LOT

cold turkey mang, the first three days is the hardest
smoke a lotta pot so your at least still smoking something thats not as bad for you and makes you feel nice and try not to be around people that are smoking cause it-ll make you crave
and dont even take -just one pull-, it makes it more acceptable everytime, thats how i started smoking again
goodluck sir!

I set a date (Nov. 1st) a month in advanced and smoked whenever I wanted before than, but when the clock turned twelve I accepted the lifestyle change, and now, even though it hasn-t been that long, I-m a non smoker :D good luck to your boyfriend -33333

also there are plenty of sites that can assist in quitting,
just bing or google it :)

Hi

Depending on his age, beg, coerce, bribe him to see a doc, or talk to his parents about getting him to one....It is EXTREMELY difficult to stop once one gets hooked. There are chemicals (other than the tobacco) put into the cigarettes that literally cause you to become addicted.

I know some people who do it cold turkey, but I couldn-t. Nor could my boyfriend or neighbor.

We all went on Chantix. We all quit. It-s the first thing I-ve ever known to work that well. I-m a grandma - retired healthcare worker so I-ve been -around the block- a few times :)

Coudos to you for trying to help him!

Hope I-ve helped in return~!

I haven-t been a smoker, but from what I have read, cold turkey is the most successful method.

We are coming up on the great American smokeout, November 19. Good time for him to quit and get lots of support. The American cancer society has a quit line to help.

I was married to a smoker and have permanent lung problems as a result. Don-t stay with him if he won-t quit. Your kids can end up sick too.

I have quit smoking. gums and lips? -

i have recently quit smoking and i-m currently in my nicotine withdrawal phase and it feels really horrible but i-m gonna manage i-m sure.

i have been a heavy smoker for 8 years now and my lips and gums have gotten darker. i was wondering if they would return to its natural color as time passes..or are there any home remedies to make them lighter again? esp my gums.

thank you.

Yes they will definitely return to normal, but it can take time, so I suggest multivitamin supplements and eat healthy, ie leafy veggies that are colorful. It will come back to normal.

Time is the best healer.I-d been through the same.In a year your gums will get back to normal.Your lips will get faster give them 3 months maximum.Congratulation!:)

What you describe sounds like a textbook case of what we should call, -Starving Tissue-, meaning that you describe gum tissue that is grossly unhealthy due to both smoking and poor diet. You do of course need a complete dental examination. But, did you know that Vitamin -C- is very important to gum tissue and smoking removes -C- from your body almost as fast as it-s taken it. Add that to the fact that the body doesn-t store Vitamin -C-, it uses it on a continuous basis which is pretty fast. You have quit the habit so your on the right road. You can improve your gum tissue by eating a healthy diet and take a really good vitamin regimen that is high in vitamins A-E-C-D-B and Zinc...a pharmacist can tell you a good brand to take. Good luck and I wish you well.

Thanks

Cold turkey is best as if you cut down you will think one more wont hurt and so on. The only thing that will help is willpower really but try support groups and other people trying to quit this will give you motivation. If you have another person trying to quit a bit of competivness kicks in.

Edit Add: Exercise may help as it realeses hormones that make you happy and it will take your mind off it.

The quit smoking hotlines! they specialise in helping people quit smoking and will have all the best strategies and tips for quitting.

Eat chocolates and try to be busy all time so that you forget smoking.

I need some help seriously! my husband lives in denial, how can i make him really quit smoking? this hurts me! -

I am a non smoker but his co-workers and best friends smoke big time, i guess that doesn-t help any, i have no idea what to do! i love him dearly, but if he doesn-t quit i guess i will have to leave him, i couldn-t stand watching as he self destructs.

Whatever happened to -for better or for worse?-

have him smoke outside, winter is coming and he-ll slack off.
Quiting is hard, and bugging him about it is only going to make him want to do it more.

eventually most smokers attempt quitting, It-s a very difficult thing to do. Especially if you are stressed out, and it-s hard to quit when you are always around others who do.
I-m not enabling his behaviour, but just sit him down and tell him how much you love him, and how much this hurts you. then drop it. He-ll come around.

Has he always smoked? Did he just start? If he was a smoker when you got married you can-t really be mad that he is smoking now. If you really want him to quit he is going to need your help and support. He can get the patch, or medications to help quit. Remember it takes the average smoker 8 attempts at quitting before they really do it.

No addict has ever quit any addiction because someone was telling them how bad their addiction is. It doesn-t work that way.

It seems you are emotionally attached to this, which is not healthy for you. I would suggest you research some type of -letting go-, for your own sanity.

This works...period. You have to get him to buy into this. It is a free site where people just simple help each other quit.

stopsmokingcenter.org

You go on it first. I quit on 1/12/07 and feel great, but wanted to quit...check it out for yourself...if he is really into it my e-mail is jimatusm@usmtg.com...I will help if he asks..

Find evidence against smoking and tell him. if he says he can-t stop, try chucking all the ciggaretts. It-ll help slightly. Make sure he stops smoking even with his friends. threaten him that you-ll divorce because you can-t put up with it. if he loves you, then he-ll stop. try it out. even use the guilt trick. But if you have kids, it-ll be a very very very bad problem

How much weight did you put on after quitting smoking? -

How much weight did you put on after quitting smoking? -

I really want to quit smoking but I have recently lost 17 pounds and am now down to my target weight, i am worried if i give up smoking i will put weight back on. I wondered if you could tell me the reason that you put on weight...ie - was it because you ate more or because you think your metabolism changed?

I didn-t gain any weight when I quit smoking, in fact I lost a couple pounds. I attribute this mostly to the fact that I was concerned I would gain weight so I made a conscious decision to not substitute food for the smokes and also made sure I worked out a little more. I used exercise as a way to curb my nicotine cravings. Whenever I wanted a cigarette I-d go for a run, do 100 crunches, pushups, jumping jacks - whatever. It-s amazing how well this works at curbing the cravings, plus it gives you some extra physical activity. I-ve heard scientific studies that say your metabolism will slow, but I-m guessing it is pretty minimal since I was a fairly heavy smoker (pack a day) and it didn-t seem to affect me at all. The bottom line is if you have to make a choice between being a little overweight or quitting smoking - kicking the cigarettes will be far better for you. If you do gain some weight you can always lose it again. Your lungs cannot be replaced. I wish you the absolute best of luck!

Your metabolism will change and appetite increase. The average increase is 5-7 pounds. But keep in mind that you would have to gain 100 pounds to equal the risk of smoking! Worry about the smoking first -- for most of us it-s a lot harder to stop smoking than it is to lose weight. Once you-ve conquered that, you can take off any extra weight with diet and exercise.

Let-s face it, food tastes better when you quit. It-s normal. I used Chantix last summer and actually lost a few lbs. when I quit. Stress with losing my job made me start again, but I-ve lost 15 lbs. and I-m getting my Chantix prescription filled today and starting again. It really does help. Everything tastes horrible at the start so you aren-t tempted to eat while you are quitting.

i gave up smoking with my fourth child and eat constantly and i didn;t worry about the weight issue because i thought oh well i-m pregnant and i lost the weight after the other kids, but that didn-t happen.
my baby is now 16 months old and i have only lost 4 kilos since having her, i was 57kilos, and by the end of my pregnancy i was 82kilos, but have recently dropped four kilos from being sick but now i-m going to try to watch what i eat, but yes i got addicted to all the wrong foods and always needed something there,try gum{sugar free}, or suck on lollipops. best of luck

Some people, after quitting smoking need a subsitute for a cigarette. So they pick eating food. If you quit smoking and focus on doing something healthier than you wont get fat and you wont be unhealthy. Hope this Helps! Good Luck!

I quit smoking in March 07, and I am now 35 pounds overweight. It creeps up on you. I think its because my habit changed from smoking to snacking. Youve got to find other ways to keep yourself busy!

Quit smoking and cant stop eating? -

Quit smoking and cant stop eating? -

Have any of you had this problem? I am 32 and have been smoking since I was 9. I quit Saturday but now I can-t stop eating! I feel like I-m gonna vomit yet I still have to eat. Anybody got any suggestions? I feel like starting back up because I-ve never felt so sick to my stomach!

Yes, this is very common. It is because you are so accustomed to having gratification via your mouth. Try pandering to this need by drinking a glass of water. It-s best not to just tough it out because you already have enough stress with nicotine cravings.

Another thing you can do is get a plastic straw and cut off a length about the length of a cigarette, and put a cigarette filter in one end (you can buy them where you buy makings for do it yourself cigs). Put a couple of drops of peppermint essential oil (or lemon, orange, what you like) and suck on it when you feel the need to eat. This worked really well for my friend when she quit smoking.

Oh and BTW congratulations, well done!

You-ll probably put on twenty pounds, but it-s worth it. You don-t want to be a human ashtray. Been there, done that.

Yeah, that-s why I hesitate to quit again. Each time I-ve quit, that-s the only thing that made the cigarette craving go away was to eat non-stop. My only suggestion, maybe chew sugar-free gum and try brushing your teeth a lot. Also, try exercising, it might take your mind off it, AND help you not to gain a lot of weight. The first time I quit, I gained almost 20 lbs.

have tons of carrots around and eat a lot of those.
no idea why,
but that seems like it would help.

have you tried EATING cigarettes? -- could kill 2 birds with 1 stone -- crunch em up - put in bowl, Got Milk? -- dunno, this way you might get sick of tobacco AND eating, end up on air - water for a while --
But if this good idea for new breakfast cereal (Tobacc-o-Puffs) let me know!...

sorry to hear that
i smoke n in trying to lose weight so i cant quit smoking now it wont work but i know how you feel see i cant even help myself on that so i cant really tell u but good luck i will wait for any good answers here

You-re replacing the feeling of the cigarettes in your mouth by putting food in there. The Nicotine withdrawal will cause problems like that too. Try some nicorette gum, or doing something to take your mind off it, like working out.

Quit smoking and cant stop eating? -

Whats an easy way to quit smoking? -

iv been smoking since i was 14 and i am now 26 and my 4 kids are growing older.....LOL! and there starting to ask questions so now-s the time to quit before they pick it up please someone help the cheepest way or free that really works

Take a quick click to a great website,
http://www.whyquit.com

They gave me the courage and ammunition to quit cold turkey January 11, 2007! Never Take Another Puff!!

Free Videos and stories of people just like you ... what you need. I think you will be amazed!

well if you have medical coverage then the easiest way i would think of would be welbutrin xl for sure. it would take about 6-7 months to take full effect but it takes away that urge to smoke. as impossible as that sounds its true. i know this from expeireince. from the past i had i was smoking 2 packs of newport 100 25-s a day. (50) cigs a day. no joke and now i am down to like 3-5 cigs a day from the med. and i am ready to quit. and i found there are ALOT of people who quit on this medication. hope you do quit. for yourself and your children.

There is no easy way. First you must make the decision to stop..not quit. When you want a smoke, put it off for ten minutes or so. And again and again.
It will not be easy. It takes a year or so before the pangs diminish.
But if you succeed you will look at other smokers and feel sorry for them.

think of the reasons you are quitting.to save money,ur children, etc. if you start to have an urge or something occupy urself with something else like gum perhaps.just say to urself that your quitting and ur not picking another one no matter what happens.try to stay away from people that smoke or tell them to please not smoke around you.

Kids are a great reason to quit. There are a number of ways to quit... but cold turkey is the best if you haven-t tried it before. You can also use products to help you quit the mental and physical addictions

http://www.havetoquitsmoking.com/quit-sm…

You may want to stop dead, meaning that as soon as you read this response you will never ever touch another cigarette ever again.
If this does not work for you, check online, there are programs that give out free information and products to assist you.

good luck

you may be smoking a cig per day or else there is no chance for 4 kids... smoking might have spoiled your potency. Anyhow kick the bad habit. try this:- light the butt of cig first and inhale hard. see the outcome.

there is no easy way it is the hardest addiction to get rid of even harder than heroine so they say. but you could ask your Dr. to let you try chantix

If i Quit smoking at 18 will it make a difference?? -

If i quit smoking at 18 will it make any difference at all??

For example will my lungs re-heal them selfs?
Or is it already to late, am i stuck with these black lungs for the rest of my life?

Ive been smoking for 4 years..

Yes

Ugh......My God... After 4 years you don-t have black lungs.. I could see if it had been 15 years. Smoking for a couple of years is not a death sentence... Smoking for 20 years is not a death sentence! And as for it causing high blood pressure? I smoke and I have LOW blood pressure. Causing lung problems? I breathe fine! I-m sick a lot. But I was even sickly as a baby! Smoking might damage your health if you smoking 3 packs a day for 20 years... But 1 a day for 10 won-t kill you... And smoking for 4 bearly does anything at all. Smoking originally started out as being something that you SHOULD do because it was GOOD for you.

ofcourse !!!! It-s so much better than quiting at 40 and dying at 50! Hope you can quit and stay away from it :D! - Your lungs will not just simply re-heal itself, but for 4 years its not as bad as a lot of other people. You have a lot less risks of getting sick. especially if you take care of yourself and live a healthy lifestyle for the rest of your life, you-ll for sure get better! good luck ;)

If you quit at 18, at 33 your body will have returned to the quality of life a non-smoker would have. It takes about 15 years.

Here-s a neat post about it:

http://www.healthbolt.net/2006/07/19/wha…

I have heard that it takes just as many years of not smoking, for your lungs to heal as the time that you were smoking.

Please stop while you can, it only gets harder to stop the longer that you smoke.

Yes quit now before it is too late. My father quit over 30 years ago and still slightly suffers from the effects so I can imagine what his health would be like if he hadn-t. Might be able to breathe a lil better at his ripe age of 89 today.

Yes, studies show that over time your lungs will repair themselves. The longer you smoke the more damage is done. So, quitting now would be a good move. It will be the best thing you ever do for your health.

I heard it takes 10 years to recover but not sure how true that is. But it is not only about recovering, its about reducing risk and improving quality of live...which stopping smoking will do.

Quitting smoking at any age will make a difference. I stopped when I was 25. I am now 37 and it makes a big difference in my life. btw, I smoked for 8 years.

Of course it will. Stoping smoking at any time makes a diffrence, and since your 18 and decided already it will be a better health choice for you.

Yes, you-ve been smoking for the past 4 years? So you-re 14? What the fck? Stop now you idiot. Smoking doesn-t make you cool.
xoxo
-Blah

Dude of course they will heal! You are only 18, and have not been smoking very long, your lungs should be healed up in no time.

Keep up the good work and stay away from the smokes.

yes your lungs will re-heal but if you keep smoking your more likely to die next year most people who smoke everyday or every otherday dies before there 3rd year aso you got lucky

yes of course it will make a difference! it wont make your lungs perfect but it certainly will keep you living longer!
every cig that you smoke you take 5 minutes off your life.

YES!
quit now!

dont wait.
any damage youve done now you cant really reverse, but if you keep smoking then you will do more damage!

STOP!

yes.
you should stop smoking now.
smoking is bad so you will probably be okay if you quit smoking

YES IT WILLL. Stop smoking now before you die from emphasmia like my grandma did.

no matter how long u have been smoking ur lounges will be clean in 15 year or less

i think you should stop smoking as soon as possible because it does make you healthier. Good Luck!

If i Quit smoking at 18 will it make a difference?? -

What is a good way to quit smoking? -

Chewing Gums.
And Ayurvedic harmless cigarettes.

You-ve really got to make the decision to quit, and then just do it - no trying, just do it and don-t stop doing it. Focus on the reasons you are quitting, not on what you think you are missing.

It may also help you to look at the underlying reason you smoke. So why do you smoke? Lonely, bored, fidgety, low confidence or self-esteem, caught up in peer pressure, an excuse to indulge in self-guilt and pity, or just an out-of-date habit you don-t need now?

Once you-ve quit for 48-72 hours, the nicotine is out of your blood and the rest of your addiction is in your head. The good news is that there are heaps of things you can do to replace your habit - and solve your underlying problems. Healthy snacks and things to do with your hands instead of putting a cig in your mouth, exercise, skills, hobbies and new activities to fill in your old smoking time, etc. All these make you feel good about yourself and give you the feeling of control over your life and future.

Educating yourself about what happens when you quit, what to do and so on, gives you a feeling of control. Have a look at this website below...If you join up for the newsletter, you get a free guide to making friends without a cigarette in your hands, and the rest of the site is full of information to make quitting a breeze.

Definately THE PATCH
My husband smoked for over 50 years and he used them and now is smoke free.
DO NOT SMOKE AT ALL WHEN YOU USE THEM THOUGH BECAUSE IT COULD KILL YOU. FOR REAL, THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

Talk to your doctor about your options. There are prescription drugs which can help ease smoking cessation. Or your doctor can get you in touch with a reputable program in your area to help you.

You might suffer some withdrawl symptoms like irratibility or changes in digestion or sleep patterns. Be prepared to ride those out. They will go away in about a week, so hang in there! Gum and patches are nicotine replacement products that will give your body the nicotine it craves, but there are 100 more chemicals in cigarettes! Gum or patches by itself won-t work. You need to address the psychological reasons as well. Make a list of things you will enjoy more now that you-ve quit smoking. Reward yourself when you-ve been smoke free a week, a month, a year.

And most importantly, forgive yourself for becoming addicted to cigarettes. And congratulate yourself on your smart decision!

When I tried, what worked for me was quitting cold turkey and when I had the urge for a smoke, I would go for a walk around the block. Pretty soon, I was walking three miles every day.

Only thing, I put on ten pounds (even with walking), so I started smoking again. I hope it works better for you. But, the walking did help with the urges. If it wasn-t for the weight gain, I would probably have never started again.

Good luck to you!!!

How can I stop using tobacco?

You have to make the decision to quit, but you don-t have to quit alone. Ask your family, friends, and doctor to help you. Quitting is hard, but you can do it if you have help and a plan.

Get ready. You don-t have to stop right away, but set a date to quit. Pick a time when you won-t have a lot of stress in your life. Get rid of ashtrays, lighters, or spit cups. Don-t let people smoke in your house.

Change your routine. For example, if you smoke after eating, take a walk instead.

Use medicine. It can help with cravings and stress. You can buy nicotine gum, lozenges, or patches without a prescription. Your doctor can also give you medicine, such as bupropion (Zyban) or varenicline tartrate (Chantix). Using nicotine replacement products and/or medicine doubles your chances of quitting tobacco for good.

Get support. Seek help from:
- Stop-smoking programs, such as the American Lung
Association-s Freedom from Smoking program.
- Support groups, such as Nicotine Anonymous.
- National tobacco quitline: 1-800-QUIT NOW or
(1-800-784- 8669).
-Counseling from doctors, nurses, or therapists.

Once you stop, stay committed. Don-t use tobacco at all-not even one pinch or puff

You are not going to believe this but I have a -Weight Loss Patch- that is patented and botanical. It increases your metabolism, gives energy, curbs cravings (including the need to smoke), helps with sleep and causes your body to burn excess fat while retaining lean muscle. This product is incredible. I no longer crave Dr. Peppers everyday, or breads, chips, fries or sweets!!! I lost 3 lbs the first week but now have lost 5 lbs in 3 weeks and 3 1/2 inches. PLUS I HAVE A TON OF ENERGY!!!! Check out my website
www.NexagenUsa.com/CindieReed and click on -Power Patch- at the top. It will tell you the patented ingredients and why they are giving such incredible results. I can sell you a months supply to try it out which is cheaper than what you can find yourself on the website. Let me know by email at the bottom of my website. There isn-t anything else like this patch on the market!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Quit Smoking In One Hour
Guaranteed
Could a One Hour Session Help You Stop Smoking?

Of course nobody can make you do what you don-t want to do, but if you really want to quit you could be free of the smoking habit in just one hour.

There is now a combination of hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) which can make it easier for you to achieve your goal of being a non-smoker.

Why People Don-t Stop Smoking

Most people know that by stopping they will save several thousand dollars a year. Most people know that they could add years to their life. And most people know that if they stop smoking right now, they could save their health - before it-s too late.

So, why do people continue to smoke? With more than 20 years combined experience in dealing with the mind, both in the USA and in the UK, we have found the answer to be the same all over the world. It all comes down to one thing...FEAR.

Fear that you-ll have to give up your crutch or pleasure
Fear that you won-t be able to enjoy life or handle stress
Fear that you will put on weight
Fear that you-ll have to go through an awful trauma to get free
Fear that you-ll never get completely free of the craving
All of these fears are just examples of one overriding fear. The one simple reason that you have not stopped smoking is that you:

Fear that it is going to be too painful and too difficult! But guess what ...

Hypnosis Makes it Easy

In fact, my unique hypnosis technique makes it so easy that after only one hour you-ll leave a happy non-smoker - not feeling deprived, not feeling that you-ve made a sacrifice, and not feeling any pain. Instead, you-ll have a huge sense of relief and elation that you have at last achieved what all smokers long to achieve, you have become a happy, permanent, non-smoker.

When smokers try to stop with other methods they suffer misery and depression caused by the feeling that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch. The beauty of hypnosis, and the way we use hypnosis in particular, is that it removes this feeling of deprivation. It removes the need, and the desire, to smoke.

You won-t need useless aids, gimmicks, or substitutes. No nicotine gum or patches. No inhalers or nasal sprays. No needles or lasers. All that you have to do with hypnosis is sit back in a nice comfortable chair, and relax. It doesn-t get much easier than that!

Lifetime Guarantee

We have so much confidence in our methods that after years in practice we are still the only hypnotherapists that offer a lifetime guarantee. This means that if you ever start smoking again, whether it is two days or two years down the road, all that you have to do is give us a call and we get you back in at no extra charge. You may be wondering how we can offer our clients these free back up sessions for a lifetime...

95% Stop In One Hour

The reason we can offer our unique lifetime guarantee, is because we have such a high success rate. Literally, more than 95% of people stop in one hour, and the remainder stop in a free half-hour back up session. How do we consistently maintain such a high success rate, year in an year out with just a one hour session?

Our Unique Approach

Since the British Medical Association (BMA) and the American Medical Association (AMA) approved the use of clinical hypnosis in the 1950s, thousands of people have found hypnosis to be an effective way to stop smoking, lose weight, and otherwise improve their lives.

Of course, there are varying degrees of success with hypnosis because much depends upon the skill, experience, and general competence of the individual hypnotherapist - as well as the techniques
being used by them.

The beauty of our unique approach is that we use the best of traditional hypnotherapy techniques, and combine them with the new science of Neuro-
Linguistic Programming (NLP), which takes hypnosis to an even greater level of effectiveness.

One of the reasons why it-s not painful or difficult to stop smoking with our method, in fact, one of the reasons why it is so easy, is that we transfer the pleasure derived from smoking to a healthier habit of your choice (e.g. exercise, drinking more water, relaxation). This is the reason why, with us, there is NO unwanted weight gain or other problems associated with kicking the habit - the only side-effects are an increase in health, wealth, and freedom.

Nothing to Fear Everything to Gain

Hypnosis is possibly as old as mankind. The old myths and misconceptions about hypnosis have given way to proven, scientifically sound applications. Today the use of hypnosis is seen in a variety of fields including: medicine, dentistry, law enforcement, professional sports, and education.

Most people have a limited understanding of the positive results that can be achieved in a professionally controlled hypnosis session. We would like to dispel some of the myths and answer the most frequently asked questions about hypnosis.

How does hypnosis work? Our minds work on two levels - the conscious and the unconscious. We make decisions, think, and act with our conscious mind. The unconscious mind controls our habits. In the relaxed state known as hypnosis, we can communicate directly with the unconscious mind. This is why it is so quick and easy to change habits of a lifetime with hypnosis.

Will hypnosis work for me? Generally speaking, every normal person is -hypnotizable.- That is, people with an IQ of at least 70, and no severe mental disorders. Therefore, virtually anyone achieve successful results using hypnosis.

How will I know if I am hypnotized? Most people can-t tell the difference between the hypnotized and the waking states. Some people feel relaxed and lethargic, others feel a lightness. One thing that people do notice is an inexplicable change in their daily behaviours.

Is hypnosis safe? Hypnosis is completely safe. You are aware and in control at every moment and can terminate the session at any time. Hypnosis is not sleep, nor can you get -stuck- in a state of hypnosis. you can-t be made to do something against your will! Hypnosis is a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable experience.

How does hypnosis help me to kick the smoking habit? Because smoking is a habit, it is controlled by the unconscious mind. Since hypnosis and NLP work directly with the unconscious, this is the only method that makes sense! We can help you effortlessly transition into the healthy lifestyle of a happy non-smoker - it only takes one hour to quit.

by far the best (and really the only) way to quit smoking is this book.

http://www.quit-smoking-easy-way.com/

Honestly I have found after many methods, that cold turkey was the best - most effective. I smoked 3 packs a day, for over 10 years - tried the patches, gums, toothpicks, nicotine inhalers, Zyban, etc.... - failed miserably at all of them. but when I just decided I was done - didnt want to die from lung cancer (heart disease, COPD, emphysema, or any other smoking related disease), I just quit! the physical addiction goes away in less than 24 hours! after that its all in your head, all mental! Mind over matter. just takes a little good old fashioned willpower. If I could do it, anyone could! My grandmother also gave up smoking cold turkey after 40 years of 3+ packs non filter cigarettes. trust me this is the best way! - I never gained a pound after quitting, I became healthier all around, - even started losing weight.

A Yahoo search for -how to quit smoking will give you a wealth of useful information and tips.

Chest Congestion? Quit Smoking Six Months Ago? -

Does this sound normal? I quit smoking six months ago and didnt have any of the coughing/chest congestion syptoms that are typical ... until the last couple of weeks.
Weird. Also my cravings seem to have returned along with the congestion.
Are delayed reactions like this normal or is something else up?

Alright. This chest congestion of yours has nothing to do with the quitting of smoking. But it does look like you have had been smoking for quite some while. The congestion may be due to Bronchitis or cold and / or Emphysema (hyper-inflation) of the lungs. You may show yourself to a doctor or take a Tylenol or two for three days. Many a time the nicotine that accumulates in your lungs is not easy to come out. It does come out with time, however. Did you know your Carbon Monoxide level in the blood attains normal levels in as less as 24 hours after quitting smoking. Of course cravings can always occur even as delayed reactions. Remember three things. People, places and things. Don-t meet people who are smokers. Do not go to places where people are prone to smoke. And don-t keep any souvenir lighters, or cigarettes, or cigarette cases or stuff of the sort. Six months is a very good period of time to go without smoking. You can live forever without cigarettes. And enjoy the best of health. I wish you well.

Cravings are probably related to stress. Your symptoms could cause you strength. Also, chest congestion is normal after quitting due the the repairs your lungs are making to themselves as well as your lungs clear out all of the mucous built up from smoking. If there is major concern to you definitely go see a doctor. To assist with your symptoms a chest decongestant in the OTC drug aisle at your local CVS or RiteAid can help.

Chest Congestion? Quit Smoking Six Months Ago? -

Best way to quit smoking? -

Hey, I am trying to quit smoking and I need ideas on what works best. I have tried in the past to quit and got to about two months and had a relapse. Please fill me in on what has worked for you. I have smoked for 10 years and smoke a pack a day. Please help.

Quitting smoking is a great opportunity to learn about ourselves, as you have already observed.
Congratulate yourself on having the desire to stop - then you are over the worst, but still need to maintain your resolve. It-s just so easy to start thinking that just one won-t hurt, but it does. Just one achieves nothing except feeling the need for another. Whatever you do, don-t have just one. Beware - alcohol will weaken your resolve.
Here-s a few home-brewed tips that might be useful.
It-s not just nicotine addiction - there are 50+ chemicals in cigarettes. Also the main problem is habit.
We have been used to having body sensations which we translate as -my body needs something-, which we have attempted to satisfy by having a cigarette.
When we try to stop smoking, we still get these -my body needs something- sensations, and we still feel that we want a cigarette. We have to train our body to be more selective. When we feel we need something, we have to work out what it is that we actually need.
A glass of water is an excellent substitute if nothing else comes to mind, as it helps with the clearance of the toxic substances in our body. Another good substitute is a bag of salted peanuts, used in combination with the water.
Another thing to do is to find an activity which occupies the mind or body. Go swimming - nobody wants to smoke while they are swimming. Slowly, as our body adjusts and translates the -want something- feelings into something other than cigarettes, then the feelings begin to go away. We know its not a cigarette that the body really needs, because as soon as we-ve had one we still have the feeling, and want another!
We will have a few bouts of feeling or even being short tempered. We must try to bite our lip, and control; ourselves. Recognise the short temper as being the removal of toxins which are trying to find a way out. They went in through the mouth, and they try to get out that way to. We must learn to keep our mouth closed, and force the toxins out the other way.

After we have stopped for a while we will begin to feel that just one wont to any harm.
All that leads to is a desire for just another one. We must guard very strongly against the desire to have just one.

Any way is the best way; just quit. I have managed to quit cold turkey and am almost to 1.5 months now. I smoked two packs daily. I have quit before and stayed that way for three years. I have always done my best cold turkey. The way to get past the difficult part is to just resign oneself to being uncomfortable for a few days and to replace it with exercise. I love breathing again. Another thing that helps is to constantly remind myself how much I regretted starting again and knowing that I never have to feel that way again.

I had great luck with putting a whole chaw of sunflower seeds in my mouth. In particular, the salty ones. It kept my mouth busy, and you sure can-t smoke and spit the seeds out at the same time... helps if you are outdoors alot because of the shells needing to be spit out...

Good luck!

I went to a site called quit assist. You can download a book or have it mailed to you with tips on how to quit. Can-t wait to get my book. Desperately need to quit smoking. Good luck to you.

DEEP YOUR CIGARRET IN GOAT MILK LET IT DRY AND THEN SMOKE IT. YOU WILL NEVER YEARN 4 A CIGARRET AGAIN. IT WORKS BUDDY.

I quit cold turkey because I had tried everything else. Including prescription drugs. I quit because my son started to smoke.

if you can go a few months u should be clear. will power is the best thing. i used wellbutrin. it really cut the cravings. or if u do get the urge after that long, try smoking an herbal cigarette. they are nasty and you-ll never do that again. willpower. u can do it.

The people I know who were successful went cold turkey, it is all mind control. My one friend was just terrible while quiting but she was fine after a month or so. Give yourself some slack two months is a great start. They say once you quit and go back it is easier the next time and maybe the time after that. Hey, if it were easy no one would be smoking. Good luck.

If you can hold on for a couple of months this means you can quit completely. I smoked 3 packs per day- and I-m clean for 19 years now.So if I can do it, anyone can.
I switched to a pipe first- plenty to do to keep hands busy, and you can-t smoke a pipe too often. After some 6 months of that I quit completely.
Main thing is: NEVER mix tobacco and alcohol- like a cigarette with a beer. That way is straight back to addiction.

How to quit smoking? -

I want to quit smoking. i smoke 3-4 cig a day. It is taking a tol on me. I feel tired even when i am walking. Please somebody help as i seriously want to give up smoking. I am not able to do it as i am not able to resist.

First off, congratulations for WANTING to quit smoking!!

As far as answering, there are a lot of ways, and it also depends on how much you-ve been smoking. The best ways are slowly lowering your dose (takes a long time sometimes), or going cold turkey (which is faster, but harder). Either way, the last thing is making the decision to quit, so you-ll eventually have to deal with the withdrawal.

For the most part, when you deal with withdrawal, you-ll just have to tough it out, but there are some things that can help cleanse out the toxins and may help to minimize some of the effects of withdrawal...
Drinking water will help to detox, and taking some supplements that work as cleansers may help as well. Specifically, Apple Cider Vinegar, Green Tea (decaffeinated), Chlorophyll (fantastic cleanser), and even good amounts of fiber and water helps some people (although it-s not very comfortable for the lower level of detoxification you get).

All that being said, it-s likely that the symptoms should stop relatively shortly after your last smoke (it-s never as long as it feels like it is). Your neurotransmitters don-t take too terribly long to scream for something they are addicted to after you stop.
Another important thing to note is that no matter how bad it gets, taking more of the drug (and yes, nicotine is a drug) will only make the withdrawal last longer and will be harder on you in the long run. Good luck, and congrats again!

Peerhaps the nicorette activestop program might help.

How to quit smoking? -

Ive quit smoking for 2 weeks and have had a stomachache the whole time does anybody know why this is? -

stress. Struggle through! I know how hard it is...6 monthes quit here. It will be worth it though! Right?

I don-t have an answer but wanted to say well done and keep up the good work! Quitting is hard! Keep going :)

Its all apart of quiting...try to go for a walk to distract you..Your body is trying to force you into smoking again by causing distress or pain..its withdrawls.

I quit over 15 years ago and I remember that it was very difficult and I did not feel well for the first few weeks then I felt great. Keep at it you will never regret that you quit only if you don-t .

Your body is adjusting to the lack of Nicotine. Your stomach can feel as though it-s in - knots- . Your nerves/stress can cause the stomach to react this way as well. I hope this helps and Congrats on quitting. Hang in there !!

This is your stomach reacting to smoking withdrawal. May I suggest a few cups of licorice tea. It will give your stomach the feeling of having nicotine. Try chewing on natural licorice sticks. (found in heath food stores) My mother used them to quit smoking and she-s been smokeless for over twenty years.

have a smoke it will go away
withdrawals symptoms
can be alleviated by chewing some nicotine gum or just suck it up realize why ya quit and know soon you will feel better

The stomache ach is your bodies way of letting off craving symptoms. However this could be something serious if it is so pain full you can not stand or have to bend over. I quit 4 yrs ago.

I took smoking cessation classes and it was covered there.
They said as your body adjusts to life w/o it one of the side effects could be constipation.(Is that the kind of stomach ache you have?)
Try drinking lots of water and avoid caffeine.

Good luck !!!!

I only stayed quit for a few weeks.

Ive quit smoking for 2 weeks and have had a stomachache the whole time does anybody know why this is? -

I want to quit smoking but if i dont smoke i eat,a lot, and i dont want that either,any sugestions,wt can i do? -

I want to quit smoking but if i dont smoke i eat,a lot, and i dont want that either,any sugestions,wt can i do? -

i noticed that i need to smoke,to much.If i dont though i take up the time by eating and i dont want to do either but theres so much time now and i dont know what to do.

Keep low calorie snacks around. Dried bananas, apples, carrot sticks etc. Good luck with quitting. Take up a hobby that uses both hand like needle point.

This is how i quit.
First, get nicotine patches, and every week use a slightly smaller patch. Go at your own pace and don-t try to rush it, when i did this system it took 200 days to quit, for others it could be longer.

Here are some of the problems i ran into and how i dealt with them:

1)i missed the relaxing smoke sensation, when the smoke flows out of my mouth, so i go clove ciggaretts witch have even thicker smoke.

2)i made it more difficult because i smoked hookah which has nicotine. Stay away from hooka

First you must decide whether eating more is better or smoking. Obvious answer is eating more Now question arises how to regulate this over eating.Again answer is low calorie food, high fibre food which makes you feel full - lots of fruits.
I have gone through the same experience 15 years back when I gave up smoking totally. I started over eating because the same food was tasting lot better, I was feeling more hungry. Over the time, I shifted to healthier foods. I now feel fit. My coughing - panting when climbing stairs has vanished. Take my advice. Give up smoking immediately. You may not get the urge again..

Chew some gum or suck a sucker when you are wanting to eat something!
