How to quit smoking w/o meds? -
I need to quit smoking and cant seem to find anything that works for me yet.
I would firstly suggest that you stop thinking of quitting smoking as a difficult thing, unfortunately we now have an anti-smoking culture, people think of smokers as some great evil rather than victims of an addiction they do not choose to suffer from. This culture has influenced how we approach quitting, people think if smokers continue to suffer in order to smoke then they must enjoy smoking thus quitting will deprive them of something so will be difficult, when logically the fact smokers suffer should make quitting easier. There are actually laws and policies in place so methods that don-t require willpower are restricted, it-s believed huge willpower must be required to break away from smoking, being told this is hardly motivation to quit! It-s less about willpower, more about understanding the nature of the addition to overcome it.
I-d recommend EASYWAY, sure it sounds like some lame form of self-help, I suppose it is, however it has a - 90% success rate - and once quit with Easyway very few go back, I-ve yet to meet someone who didn-t agree that this was the best method they had found. Easyway like it says is -easy- as there is no willpower required, there is no suffering weight gain or bad moods after quitting, and no constant longing for a cigarette, instead you feel positive from the first day you quit. The method works by dealing with the mental addiction rather than the chemical, after all smokers can go all night without being woken up by cravings, nicotine may be highly addictive but the withdrawals and cravings are minute, it-s all mental. A lot of it is really common sense but it-s that common sense that the addiction cancels out, sure you know it will kill you and it costs a fortune but you still continue, that darn addiction is overriding your own brain. Easyway program kicks that addictions grasp on your logic and deprograms the brainwashing about quitting being difficult or social dependancy on having a cigarette in your hand, you can then quit successfully and happily without and ill effects or feeling deprived of your cigarettes. The course comes in different forms, you can by books from Amazon used or new from another seller for practically nothing, I tend to buy copies for ￡3-￡4 to give away, the books also give you a 20% discount from the clinics. The clinics are the main program, they cost around ￡220 but they offer a full money back guarentee and you can go back as often as you need to, the books contain the same information as the clinics but the books are in a different format and without the one-to-one support.

There are of course other methods, tips to help you quit, most are about as much use as, well, as continuing to smoke is to your health. Sure some methods work for some people, it-s just luck to find one that works for you...no, strike that, with the right mental attitude anything can work, thus it is luck to be able to find that mental attitude because heaven knows it can be years between attempts to quit.
If you go cold turkey then I recommend coffee as it feeds your bodies addition to caffeine so gets rid of the caffeine cravings which in turn takes the edge off nicotine cravings, the bitterness puts you off smoking, and coffee is good for helping clear all that junk that will be coming off your lungs – don-t try this if you-re used to a smoke on your coffee break. Avoid quitting with friends, if one of you fails then it just gives you an excuse to stop trying too, by all means find a local support group with other smokers trying to quit to give you some support. If you find yourself laying in bed reflecting on how much you want to quit then get up and write it down because in the morning you are sure to forget those thoughts and feelings.
Other methods include the mouthwash, this is otherwise known as evil juice of doom, it is like the bad tasting stuff you put on your nails to stop you biting them, you use this sprayed onto your tounge so when you smoke it makes it taste disgusting. Herbal cigarettes are totally great as they keep your mouth and hands busy, they look like normal cigarettes although are lighter and don-t contain the million or so additives of normal cigarettes that would probably kill you faster than the tobacco itself. The problem is that being a smoker your sense of smell would likely be a little off, when smoking around other people they will soon make you aware that these herbal cigarettes smell like excrement.

It has been proven it takes 21 days to form a habit and 21 days to brake one. I sugest U put a hair rubberband on your wrist and try to stop all together through out all temptations aka cegerites and try to go 21 days without them. Every time u have a smoke change the rubberband to your other wrist and u have to start all over the the next day. It might take months to compleat 21 days of not smoking. Also when u buy a pack right the price and date down, once u quit or earlyer total up the amount u spent once u quit that total will be how much u saved by quitting. U will be surprised at how much spend on cegerites
I struggled to quit for a long time, but never was comfortable with pills or patches. And at the end of the day, I found an intelligent way to quit smoking.
The important thing is to realize that smoking creates strong emotional bonds - and it is these bonds that need to be severed. Physical cravings only serve to wake up memories of the emotion...
Once that realization and awareness sets in, it is then important to reframe your thinking about smoking. Instead of saying -I am stressed and therefore I smoke- say -I am stressed but there are other ways to deal with it-. This shift in thinking is important.

Nah, none of these will work. You need a combo of will power and....nicotine gum. Start off by chewing the gum and smoking so you-re used to the taste. Then whenever you get the urge to smoke, just chew a piece of gum.
Set a date to stop and then once that date comes, just stop smoking. You-ll be used to the gum and trust me, it does work. I did this method and haven-t smoked in over 3 years. I never thought it would be possible, but it is.
You-ll crave it for three months, but once you get past the three-month-mark, you-ll hate smoking. I can-t stand it now. It-s putrid. Then after three months just stop with the gum.
This will definitely work. And don-t hang around smokers when they are smoking. It-ll kill you. Plus you-ll notice a difference in the way your clothes smell; breath and how much more easily you can breathe.
Good luck.
