After you quit smoking, how long do you wait until the craving stops? -

the actual habit of smoking (reaching for your cigarettes wanting one at the usual time) is split between psychological demands and the actual need for nicotine. my cravings quit within 2-3 days with the help of nicotine gum. but then i had to restructure parts of my life that related to smoking. including convincing my friend that i was serious about quitting and that i was sure i didn-t want a cigarette.
but it was one of the best things I-ve done and truly hope you
can quit. you will be so proud of yourself. and feel much better about your future. guaranteed
i quit 11yrs ago after smoking for 14yrs now the smell of cigarettes is offensive, but i still think about having one, and all i do is think about it and realize I-m happier without them ,not to mention my health.
good luck
Sorry, but I-m sure you won-t like my answer. I gave up last July to coincide with the smoking ban in public buildings (I-m English) and I still fancy a cig whenever I see someone spark up on telly. you just need to work out if you REALLY want to give up. If you do, just be strong...
The strong chemical cravings of nicotine addiction should lessen in about two weeks. However, a person is not considered above the temptation of smoking until they have been smoke-free for two years! It is the social stressors and mental habits that become the greatest temptation. But, this can be overcome with strength of will! Good luck and best wishes in quitting, you-re saving a life, your own.
OK, well, I am an addict in recovery and have tried to quit smoking several times. I just don-t want to quit cigs yet. When I stopped drugs there are and were alot of -tools- I learned and still use to get out of a craving. Move a muscle, change a thought is a great one. Do you know you-re triggers? Do you light up when you see someone else, when you get bored, angry, frustrated, etc.? AVOID those situations for atleast a few months. It-s hard, but if you really really really want to stop, you must practice these methods. Cravings don-t go away, they just lessen.
im afraid i know a guy that stopped 18 yrs ago - still gets cravings...
I quit Feb 7th and I am getting better. I was worried about the cravings too but I think its all up to you and what you really want to feel. If you want to get over it, stop asking others what to expect. You are an individual, so your going to feel different than the next. Alot of people are very negative about things. Have faith in yourself and just remember how much good your doing all around.

Why cant I quit smoking even though I want to? -

Why cant I quit smoking even though I want to? -

I know for me I would say that I want to, but really deep down I love to smoke. It is the only break I get in the day, please don-t take my smokes away...

I quit the last day of April and I am feeling good - though it took me 6-8 weeks to really stop craving. My advice is wait for Wednesday morning and try to quit then. Be firm with yourself. It is not a matter of not like perhaps it is a matter of not want to, and that should win out.

Be careful of the nasty stress reactions we build up to justify having a cigarette. Just resolve not to use cigarettes as a way to deal with stress. Once you pass the test a couple times, it will go away.

You might also want to try nicorette gum - it can be great to have something to do and something to make it a little easier on you in the beginning.

Peace!
Its called addiction to nicotine.
I dunno. Let me know when you find the answer, because I can-t either. Good luck!
Cigarettes are one of the most addictive habits known to man. Once you get used to smoking your body craves the Tar and Nicotine that these little monsters have. Quitting is really a mind over matter thing and it doesn-t make a difference what-s on the market to help. If you have been a smoker for a while then your body will suffer withdrawal and many people relapse during this period.I smoked for 22 years---my last cigarette was 11 years ago.
It-s b-coz you are not determined and lack confidence.Think abt cancer when you are tempted to smoke.
Because you really deep down don-t want to. I quit last year. I had tried a few times before that. Cravings come from the want. You will have to quit cold-turkey. None of that tapering off stuff. I allowed myself to smoke one or two only if I was drunk, and eventually I didn-t even want to smoke while drunk. Now, the smell bothers me, and I am disgusted with the thought of smoking. Success!
You really don-t want to. If you really wanted to you would stop in spite of the cravings.
well one thing it is addictive and it is just plain hard.. i have quit before and then i go back to smoking... there is something about it that i like and find relaxing... i especially like a cigarette after eating and other activities....but i have tried patches and they work the 1st step pretty good... but somewhere it seems you are around someone that does smoke and there you want a cigarette again...i have even smoked with the patches on and they say that will make you sick.. it may make you kind of sick to your stomach though...i guess we just have to take control and when we want a cigarette deny our self the cigarette like we do not want to get fat so we watch what we eat...
You will soon. When you get small cell lung cancer.
It-s a tough thing to do.
I-ve tried about 6 times now.
I-ll keep trying over and over till I quit forever.

Problem is I go out with friends and they ALL smoke and it-s tough to ignore the urge!
DON-T GIVE UP!!! Some day it will take ...don-t be discouraged. Here are some tips that you might not have heard before...
Brush your teeth every time you eat...use cinnamon mouth wash gum and candy...the cinnamon really helps. Stay away from smokers. Make sure all the smoke odors are cleared out of your car and home and clothes. Spray fabreeze all over. When you have a craving take slow deep breaths and blow them out slowly.(at least 3) Drink a lot of water. Use the patches for a while if
you must. All of these things really do help. I finally quit last march 6 after 35 years of it. That-s an other thing make a note of your quit date and keep up with it. Let your loved ones know you expect congrats and gifts on that date. Celebrate your first week and each month then have a blow out for year one!! YOU CAN DO IT!!
BS-D

because you are not really ready.
something bigger than your desire to smoke has to be your motivational factor. and it has not arrived yet.
ask yourself: what would the benefits of giving up be?
if they are not motivating you, then you simply are content where you are.
nicotine causes a physical addiction......

even though you want to quit....your body needs and wants that nicotine......

so, it makes you crave it.....
You-re addicted to nicotine in the cigaretes. Its hard to stop smoking but good luck to you
It-s cause you-re addicted to it. Your spirit (will) is strong, but your body is weak. It doesn-t respond to what you REALLY want to do. You better power up your DETERMINATION! ;) Good luck!
Get support. Have friends help you out by requesting that they not smoke while you-re around. Help yourself by avoiding places with temptations, bars etc. :)

Good Luck!

What is your recommendation about the people ho already quit smoking? -

I personally, stopped smoking almost fifty years ago and that was before anyone told us that it affected our health in so many ways.
I have always said that the day I stopped was probably the best day of my life.
It must have saved me many, many thousands of pounds - and helped me, and the people around me, to a more healthy life.
My recommendation to any smoker is to -give up now-. When a few short days have passed, you-ll wonder why you ever did it in the first place. Best of luck !
my recommendation to those who have already quit smoking? good Job. It is hard but can be done.
I quit 26 1/2 years ago and it was tough, particularly the first 3 days. This was before all the gum, patches, and drugs that are out their to help. Back then it was called doing it -cold turkey-.
The best advice I got was to keep busy, especially keep my hands occupied. I am female and I cut quilt squares. I made an entire quilt in 1 week! LOL Later, I taught myself how to crochet and fiddling around with the yarn or thread was a great substitute.
The morning cigarettes were NOT the first thing I thought about, I knew I had it licked. While the worst was over, I did do things like NOT hang around when others smoked, did not allow anyone to smoke in my home any more, tried not to do those things that triggered a desire to smoke. That took about a month with each day better and better.
The benefits were more money in my pocket, I didn-t cough in the morning any more, I no longer get wicked painful sinus infections, my clothes don-t smell like the bottom of a dirty ashtray(neither does my breath!) I don-t have tobacco crumbles lining my purse and every pocket of every shirt, coat or pair of pants.
They need to help others who are struggling to quit smoking ! That can be in terms of sharing experiences, the best way to hold on etc.
what do you mean?? how to quit smoking if you already have???
Excuse me?

Has anyone used Chantix to quit smoking? -

If so,Did it work and how did it make you feel?Thanks,I really need to quit.
I-m taking chantix now and have gone from over a pack to 3 a day. i have been on it for a month. I do not feel any different except I sleep better. I followed the directions. I had some strange dreams in the beginning, not bad or scary, just strange. I hope to kick the 3 a day soon, My Dr. and pharmacist both said they had heard of great results with this. look at it this way, it can-t hurt, can help, get the info from the pharmacy and read that first. good luck to you.

try hypnosis. i went from 2 packs to none.
I MYSELF HAVE NOT USED IT BUT SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT I WORK WITH HAVE USED IT AND IT HAS DONE REALLY WELL FOR THEM.
I don-t smoke, but my husband does. When my son was in the hospital for breathing problems the doctor reccomended it very highly. My husband doens-t smoke around the baby or in the house, but they said it came in on his clothes. I-m going to get him to try it. I hope it works, he-s want to quit...kind of.
No! I never smoked! I-m still a child.

How long does it take to feel better after quitting smoking? -

Just quit 2 days ago completely exhausted and very crabby and depressed! How long after does it take?
The first 3 days are the hardest. The feeling that your brain no longer works goes away in about 7 days. The cigarette cravings last for a while however it is so much easier to say no and they become less frequent. In the meantime take it easy and reward yourself on a great effort.
its going to take a big while but you can do it. up to 2 week to 2 mouths. the fist few days its the hardest part but then after its just like i dont need it although inside you will want too but you know you cant..
i know you can do it.!
It will be at its worst 3-5 days out, then start getting better. It-s generally pretty tolerable by 4 months but some people feel better much faster. Back to normal in about a year and a half, again, again, for some it-s much faster.

What should i do ,i cant quit smoking? -

I thought I couldn-t either after smoking for 35 years until my 8 yr oldgranddaughter asked me to quit after she was told at school that smoking would kill her granny. All I have to do when I REALLY want one one is imagine her hurt and scared face. i QUIT SMOKING A YEAR AGO NEXT MONTH!!!! I think I could do it because I found something more important to me. GOOD LUCK!!
Put the patch on and just keep telling yourself that you are a non-smoker. Do not take that first puff.
I had to quit four years ago and my doctor prescribed Zyban, which is the SAME as Wellbutrin, an anti-depressant. Zyban was NOT covered by my insurance; Wellbutrin was. You-re supposed to take it one or two weeks before your quit date and for a few weeks afterwards. It worked when patches and gums had not. Good luck
Try using the patch!
It is simply a matter of having enough will-power to do it. I smoked for about 15 years. and now am going on 4 months being smoke free. Anyone can do it. It-s is one of the hardest things you will do though. Try the patch. But be careful with it. I wound up being allergic to it and I thought I was having a heart attack or a stroke the way it affected me. The best thing to do is ask your doctor for help.
Yes, you can. I did. Many other people do. You have to want to badly enough to make it happen.

Go for walks when the urge strikes, get rid of all matches, ashtrays, lighters, etc. you are a nonsmoker when you love yourself enough to stop.
whats up , well smoke occasionally, you know when you go out and hang with friends so you can enjoy it. everyday it-s just a nasty habit,but if you smoke occasionally then eventually you will not want it anymore.
As a full time staff member at MD Anderson Cancer Center In Houston Texas Id recommend you visiting your local cancer center asking them for a tour of there Head and Neck Department or Dental Oncology department and seeing up close for yourself what smoking can do to you, if that is not enough to convince you then there is no hope at all. People loose the plates lower jaws holes in the face no longer can swallow like normal people not to mention having tio wear prosthesis to cover gigantic defects and let-s make it short is a cigarette worth losing your life ? So that is my opinion If you don-t have a cancer center closes to you go on-line and look up the words,oral cancer one website is
http://www.maricopa.gov/public_health/to…
please note it -s graphic and also it not just for spitters it also for puffers also go to yahoo.com click on images and type oral cancer- I hope this helps I am not trying to scare you but Life can be more beautiful with out cigarettes.
Don-t quit then. You could always wait till your lungs quit on you instead, then you won-t have to worry about quitting anymore ;-)

What is the best way to quit smoking permanantly?
A mixture of counelling, support groups, freinds and family who are supportive of your endeavour, and a good anti-depressant, such as Zyban.
There are many ways to quit smoking, BUT willpower is ALWAYS the one thing you can-t buy. We have an innovative new product to replace your tobacco cigarette with an electronic cigarette. The device gives you the -smoke- (vapour) and nicotine the way you are familiar with. www.elitecigarettes.co.uk

You will quit smoking permanently when those malignant tumours found in your lungs have spread throughout your body and you are lying there alone on a hospital bed gasping for your next breath. Nurses can be heard laughing in a nearby ward, looking forward to the end of their shift when they will be able to go home to their families - but alas for you it-s too late....
dunno..never tried
I-ve never smoked myself,but my Mum and 2 aunties all went for hypnotherapy to help them quit about three years ago. It cost them around ￡70 and definately worked. Good luck
Alan Carr-s books/CDs have helped a few people I know stop. If I was stopping now, I think that-s the way I go (thank goodness I did it 20yrs ago.)
To quit smoking, stop buying ciggarettes.
buy something that stops you smoking
I joined a support group, it helped knowing i was-nt alone. I used patches but you can discuss what-s best for you. Hav-nt smoked for nearly 3 years, feel better, look better, go for it, you can do it.
I was on 40 camel a day my girl friend said if i could quit for 6 months she would be my wife ! we have just had our 5th year as man and wife. i did it with patches and will power. if i can do it anyone can. good luck. Also keep this in mind the money i saved has payed for two Florida holidays!
Well I-ll tell you, I just quit 28 days ago and now i know im strong enough never to go back to smoking. Was smoking a pack and half a day for 6 years strong, and you know,

All it took for me to quit was to sit down and actually think about smoking, the pros/cons and ALL i could come up with were cons. Negative health effects, smelly, costly, and i finally decided it was just plain Gross. The first 2 days were the hardest after that it has been pretty smooth sailing i dont even think about cigarettes anymore! Just keep reminding yourself that YOU are stronger than the cigs. ITS SO GREAT....I FEEL SO GREAT....you can do it too give it a shot, good luck.
It took me three years to give up, lots of stop/starting with the periods of non smoking getting longer and longer. I found the gum quite good...if you chew lots of it and force yourself to keep chewing it the resulting nicotine high is so disgusting it is very offputting. Makes you feel really quite sick. I stopped for six months doing this, but unfortuatly started again. I have stopped for two years now.... the answer? pregnancy! I had trouble stopping for me (secretly I liked smoking to much) but it was actually easy to give up for my baby because I had no choice.
Quittings for losers
Wish i knew, but willpower i guess, its not easy.
Can-t speak from personal experience but.....
any addiction if it has really taken a hold then it could always be a recurring problem or temptation.
My sis managed to quit and so did her boyf. but I don-t think they were ever heavy smokers. Clearly strong will-power and a clear idea of what you are seeking to achieve and why will be necessary in order to quit successfully.
Have you tried nicotine patches, nicotine gum?
Avoiding smoky places and areas of temptation - your regular newsagents ? Just a thought anyway. All the best. Joe
willpower definately... it took me hundreds of attempts and i didn-t succeed until i was completely ready. i have been a non-smoker for 9 months now. also with each craving tell yourself that it will only last a few seconds and ignore it til it goes away, it gets easier over time, drink water while you get a craving. when you-ve finished your craving will be gone...
every one is different...find your reason to stop..find your habits and why you smoke...then find what works best for you to quit.... nickotine..........thats the addictive part.
Just you, yourself(asked yourself what benefits you could get from smoking)?
Pick up a book on how to properly undergo juice fasting, (you can find one on amazon.com),.. and do a seven day juice fast. This will clean out the nicotine from your body and allow you to let go of smoking. ....That is, if you are really serious about quitting.

From what I have read,.. quitting -cold turkey-,.. is the best way to quit. The most people have the most success by quitting cold turkey. If you want to support yourself in quitting cold turkey by cleaning out the nicotine chemical addiction from your body,.. then do a proper seven day juice fast (while not smoking at all), .... and you will break your addiction to smoking.

And don-t listen to ignorant people who would discourage you from fasting. They do not know what they are talking about. Fasting is the most natural and health promoting practice one can perform. It has been utilised for thousands of years towards the promotion of health and well being.
There are several different methods and not all of them will work for everyone. It is an individual thing.

Hypnosis is one, Biofeedback another, patches, gum, cold turkey, cutting back and limiting etc....It all works per the individual.

I work with clients to reduce the issues that create the need to smoke. Once those issues are resolved, the need to smoke is eliminated. Then we work on the health issues left from smoking. And also on stress reduction, weight reduction etc.
ONLY will power helps. nothing else...
Its not just the nicotine. Its also the other 50+ chemicals they out 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!
I just quit last Monday ( Cold Turkey ) My boyfriend still smokes like a chimney ... I also started a diet on the same day so I may be just plain nuts, but so far im doing great ... Drinking about 60oz of green tea a day has helped me to be full of energy so im doing alot more and running in circles more to keep me busy and not think so much about the smoking or eating ....
first is ur will power!!!!!!

second thing is.......ur will power!!!!!


third thing is.....talk to ur doctor friend n family to help u quit it!!!...be honest!!!
Willpower.
try his book, it worked for me.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Allen-Carrs-Easy…
after smoking for nearly30 years ive given up for a week to help me i tried patches niquitin cq i cant believe how good they are but i supose you need a bit of willpower as well.
patches, gum, doctors help (local stop smoking centre) and will power. it-s the only way! or you could try hypnotherapy though i don-t know anyone who-s tried this and stopped for good.
Think it is useless .......i still have the stress

How to quit smoking cold turkey? -

iv been having chest pains and they are in the middle of my chest and have shortness of breath when they come about, someone told me to quit smoking immediatly whats the best way?
If I had such a scare, I would just not smoke again. I imagine that I would start nibbling away at wee snacks, each time I felt like a ciggie. I would rather put on a bit of weight, which I could later lose, than put my life at risk, especially if I had experienced such a scare. You should also contact your local GP who will gladly put you in touch with the nearest -Stop Smoking Service-. I have heard that they really do a great job in helping folk to quit. Good luck.
You need to quit the way that works best for you, and cold turkey might not be it.

Chantix is excellent but it can be costly. You typically continue to smoke for the first 7 days that you take it, but it beats the patch or gum, etc. and it-s pretty effective.

The best way to quit cold turkey? Fear! Chest pain can scare the hell out of you. Its how I quit. Its why I started going back to the gym too.

But a better thing to say to you is that you really need to get that checked out. What your describing sounds like angina. Chest pain is nothing to push off, particularly when its accompanied by shortness of breath, heavy sweating or pain in your arms, shoulders or jaw.

You also might have costochondritis. It-s an inflammation of the cartilage in the rib cage, particularly around the breast plate. You might be surprised to find that quiting smoking might actually make it feel worse. You should still quit, but just know that your chest pain may get worse before it gets better. You-re body starts to rid itself of the tar and residue left behind from smoking. That agitates the tissues around the lungs and worsens the pain from the costo.

Either way, chest pain is nearly always a warning of something, whether it life threatening or not. Quiting smoking is a good idea, but getting a doctor to look at you is a better idea.
Hey,

I had a really bad scare (I was coughing up blood) and that gave me the motivation to quit. Cold turkey is without doubt the best way to quit because it is the quickest and most effective long term. If u use gum or patches you are prolonging the process of quitting by at least 3 months. Go visit this website:

www.whyquit.org.

There is a few e-book, loads of articles and videos as well as postings from real successful quitters. It is 100% free and once you are nicotine free for 72 hours you can join and post and get feedback and help. Please visit and read as much as you can. The only way to dramatically improve your chances of being smoke free forever is to get educated.
The book that Poodle08 talks about is suppose to be great, you don-t stop right away, you start reading the book and by the time you have finished you wont want to smoke again. I wouldn-t waste money on patches or gum, you need very strong willpower, I done it 29 years ago while I was pregnant and it was hard but after a week or so you cope - I started again 16 years later and now smoke about 40 per day - my partner gave up 2 weeks ago by using pills doctor gave him and he said its fine he has the odd craving and a bit short tempered and when we are together at weekend my smoking doesn-t bother him. Someone told you to stop smoking, that-s no good it wont work, it has got to be something that you WANT to do not something you should do. Good Luck
this might sound stupid but it worked for me. read alan carrs, easy way to stop smoking. you need to have an open mind and actually take in what the book is saying. it gets a bit manotinous but trust me it works NRT is a load of balls it just cuts out the habit not the nicotine adiction. i also played his game on the nintendo DS which really helped. hope you get rid of the nicotine monster.
I suggest that you stop putting cigarettes into your mouth. maybe you could hide your wallet from yourself and live in a dark alley for a bit too. hopefully you-ll only be able to beg for enough change to get food and water.
I had chest soreness, aching and shortness of breath in March of last year. And I quit it cold turkey since April of last year, I know it-s very hard to quit. But It-s your turn to quit now before too late!

Good luck!
What-s the best way to quit smoking immediately?
Put down the cigarrette and never pick it up again.
Do you have to quit cold turkey or can u use the patches or anything. every time you want one just try chew gum. I know itl be hard but there is help out there. Good luck :)
I-d start smoking tobacco instead mate
:L
Just don-t try too hard, and distract yourself

How did you quit smoking? im trying cold turkey after 20 years? how did you do it? -

I had a bad stroke 23 years ago and was in a coma for 5 days. Smoking had played a large part in causing the stroke. My female cardiologist had given me stern lecture on the evils of smoking. Before my first appointment after release from the hospital, I had decided I would quit cold turkey. Realizing that it is not easy to give up a 2 pack a day habit after 25 years, I figured that the whole purpose of the attempt was so that I could tell the doctor that I had given it the old college try but had lost the battle. That would certainly allow me to escape another doctor-s lecture. Being honest, I couldn-t tell the doctor that story, without having actually tried. That was 24 years ago and I haven-t smoked since.
There are patches you can use. Visit your doctor and they can help you.
i-ve never actually smoked, but my grandpa had smoked for 30+ yrs, and he went to the doctor one day the doc told him stop smoking or you-ll die so he threw away the cigarettes and everytime he wanted one he-d pop a peppermint candy in his mouth he-s been cigarette free for over 10 yrs now. Good Luck
I quit in May of 2005 using Wellbutrin (Zyban) for the first month. I-d smoked 1 to 1 1/2 packs a day for 39 years. That was my first real quit. Now I have no desire to smoke, don-t think about it, don-t expect I-ll ever go back to it.
I kind of quit cold turkey...meaning I didnt use any kind of nicotine back up. But my doctor did put me on wellbutrin to help aid with the quiting smoking and its now been 1 year and 4 months since I quit smoking.
i have smoked for for 23 years and i would like to stop too if you find a way please let me know how you did it. i heard stopping cold turkey is the best way to stop. i stopped for 2 weeks after stopping cold turkey but i started up gain. good luck to you, you will live longer if you can stop,at least that is what everyone tells me!!

Has anyone quit smoking with Chantix? -

My hubby and I have decided at our next doctor appointments, we-re getting a prescription for Chantix. Any success stories? Any bad effects stories?
I had a friend who hallucinated when taking that stuff. :( Sorry I don-t have anything good to give you.
I have heard quite a few people have died from Chantix and also suffered heart problems

Chantix side effects may include suicidal thoughts, depression and even violent behavior. In September 2007, Chantix side effects were implicated in the bizarre death of a Dallas, Texas man.

The Chantix label warns of various side effects, including nausea, changes in dreaming, constipation, gas and vomiting. But those warnings are more prominent and easier to find than the fine print on the package insert that warns of the possibility of psychotic and suicidal behavior. But since its approval, more and more Chantix users have reported these terrifying side effects.
Don-t take that crap. My friend killed himself while taking it. And there are tons of similiar reports!!!

My mother - my mother-in-law and they both have smoked for over 15 years. But you have to have the will power, it-s not a magic pill. Good luck! :)
The success rate of Chantix and Champix is supposed to be 40%.
Enjoy throwing up.... violently... and often.
YEAH
I quit natrually. Smoking was fun and cool in teens and twenties, pathetic and haggard ans white trashy any time after 29. I was a pack and a half a day smoker from 14 to 29. I find middle aged smokers pathetic, lacking self control and cheap. -unfortunatley people close to me are still smokers, they smell like garbage, and cough, they are an embarrassment.

Eventually, smoking became more boring than not smoking. I just stopped and told myself that if I were ever really stressed and had tried everything else to calm down, that I could smoke with my own permission. I had some rough times and smoked (just one night at a time) over a period of a year. The occasions became less frequent. Then I discovered that if I smoked because of stress, I felt less stressed out but horribly sick because of the smoking. Lol.
Coming up to three years since I made the decision.
They were going to amputate my foot....the doctor said that smoking would reduce my chance of healing and he figured it was easier to cut it off if I kept smoking.

DUHHHHHHH I quit, I have my foot, more money, don-t stink, never out of cigs and frantically smoking butts in the ashtray, less chance of -leathery skin-, don-t have to go out in the cold to smoke
I did it cold turkey, but I was never a heavy smoker to begin with. I only smoked socially. My husband on the other hand was a heavy smoker, and he used Chantix to quit. You need a prescription, and it can be expensive, but it-s definitely worth it. He-s been smoke free for almost 2 years now.
I quit smoking several years ago. Before I used to smoke for several yers, 1/2 - 1 pack a day! I just stopped smoking. I started to catch flues quite often with long-lasting caugh, I could have caugh for 3 weeks or more after the flu. Then I decided it-s enough smoking for me and just quit.
One day I just said -Enough!- I didn-t tell anyone because I didn-t want to have people asking about it constantly. Two weeks later someone asked if I had stopped. By then I had some new habits. It-s been MANY years since I stopped. I still, every now and then, think about cigarettes. I know I can-t pick up that first one. And I don-t.
keep thinking of how nasty it makes your clothes and breath smell, how yellow it will make your teeth, and how much your family will be affected and miss you when you start reaping the health issues cigarettes cause. then buy the patch and stick with it! good lcuk!
I found out I was pregnant! I quit cold turkey.....it was the best decission I could have made.
My mother just put them down and never picked them up again. She also had to avoid the situations that caused her to smoke (ie, friends/bars/etc).

It-s a tough path, but it-s worth it financially and health-wise.
Chewing gum and eating mints was what helped me. Everytime I wanted a cigarette I would just chew a piece of gum and it helped but I still craved it. You just have to have the willpower to stop and not just go have one more.
I stoppped smoking ciggerates . thats how . lol I never smoked
the longest ive quit for was a week. its f-ing rough man. chest started caving in. stuffs meaner to quit than heroin the doc says.
One of my friends got so drunk then SO hungover she felt sick smoking and she just never smoked again. Try that. Or when you-re ill just try to stop then because it will be easier.
Good question as I am wondering the same thing. I will be looking at this question to see the responses you get. Best Wishes.
