How can I quit smoking? -
I am glad to have you ask that question because doing that is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. There are many over the counter things you can buy - patches, gum, etc. There is also hypnosis. All these have helped people stop smoking, You really have to want to stop before any of these things can help you. I tried all these but nothing worked for me until my doctor prescribed Chantix. I have now been off the smokes since Aug. For me it is really to late but for you the damage they have done is minimal. Don-t forget nobody wants to hug someone with smoke smell in their hair and clothes and nobody wants to kiss an ashtray. Good luck!
Starting from today set a rule of not smoking after 7PM. In a week make it after 6PM. In another week after 5PM. That provide you with precious hours a day that you don-t smoke and will teach you that it ain-t too bad to spend time not smoking. Your body needs only 1 cig a day, the rest is a mental addiction not physical. Once you-re down to not smoking after 11 am, it will become really easy to quit completely.
i know 5 people that used chantix - it only worked for 1
the rest either just started smoking again or had such horrible side effects that they had to stop taking the pill
fist off you really need to want to quit - if you-re doing it for someone else or because you think you should it probably won-t take
patches do help - though they can give bad dreams so don-t leave them on at night
the gum works for some - but you have to use it right - don-t chew it like normal gum - just enough to break it up and then stick it in between your teeth - cheek so the nicotine can get into your bloodstream...
good luck
Watch yourself smoking in a mirror. Does that look like the image you want the world to see? People at work?school? They will age your skin much faster and you will look older sooner. Just throw them away and commit yourself to not smoking even if your body wants one. Your body is lying to you, it doesn-t Need nicotine.And the farther you get away from smoking the easier it is to see that. You look like a strong person.
God bless and help you with this.
Depending on what state you live in there are programs to help you quit. In New York they have the New York Smokers Quit Line which give out information as well as free patches. Your health insurance may also cover quit smoking products and support groups.
Best of luck to you!
there are some pills but i totally forgot what they are called. my uncle used them for 1 or 2 months and he hasnt smoked for like a year or 2. the leftover pills he gave to my brother in law and he has smoke maybe a pack in the last 3 weeks. they do wonders if i find it i will just edit this.
my boyfriend got this prescription from his doctor for -Chantix-. seems to be working pretty good on him. they-re kind of expensive even with insurance. i don-t know about where you live but i know where i live, the lady at the health department said they give them out to people who can-t afford them.
for your information...
stopping smoking is not somewhere outside.. i for instance is a smoker.. i have been smoking for 5,6 years,... and i just left smoking as i had a real fear of death in my mind.. i stopped smoking from august 2008 and till this april 3rd i was not smoking at all.. and this happened on 4th of april.. i was having adrink with my friend.. and he offered me a smoke.. which i wud generally avoid.. earlier.. accepted that day.. and i started smoking as if i have never left smoking...
so smoking s not a habit as people think.. it is only an event.. if you want to stop smoking .. dont think about it.. and when you really have the urge to smoke.. just say yourself this one time -i willNOT smoke.-
i was able to stop smoking just because i really had the fear of succumbing to cancer.....
so it is all in your mind.. your mind can do what is good for you if you really think you must do it!
be strong in your mind.. think of the negative things you would end up with if u continued smoking..
gud luk to stop smoking..
3 things u shall do ..
1.avoid places where u smoke.. like a smoking joint..
2.avoid persons who will encourage u to smoke..
3. tell every one you know that- U HAVE STOPPED SMOKING - this will make ur ego understand that if u smoke again that thall the words of all those who laughed at you saying -u can never- true, correct..
diver urself in any other activity u like .. when u feel to smoke.
SMOKE ENOUGH TO DIE!
Or you can always get addicted to something else. id start reaching for cough drops instead of cigarettes. those are way easier to ween yourself off of.
