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.

Anything helpful would be appreciated.
Patches/gum dont work for me.
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? -


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.

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 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!
they will reheal u definetly should quit
its nice 2 hear that your considering to quit and i think u should it will make a big difference in ur life gud luck
yes
yea it will
yes,
yeh

What is a good way to quit smoking? -

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.

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.

Chest Congestion? Quit Smoking Six Months Ago? -

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.

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.
