Trying to quit smoking, i am such a weak ****r!!!!!? -


anyone else quit?
what techneiques did you use?
im desporate to quit but i keep failing and i am so mad at myself!
HELP anyone!
In the Search for questions slot type in -quit smoking- and you will get at least 7,100 results.
hey, dont get mad at yourself. its natural to fail a lot before you succeed. at least you-ve found a number of ways not do in quitting smoking. anyway, change your habits and try to do some exercise.
I FINALLY quit smoking! I started smoking in 8th grade and I kept on till just recently and I-m now 24yrs old. What helped me was smoking really, really gross cheap smokes! Get the ones that look like little cigars and smoke those, they will make you quit fast I promise, that is why I quit! Good luck!
I tried quitting for 25 yrs before I finally did. The reason I quit was because I had chronic bronchitis which had stopped responding to medication. One day I decided I wanted to be healthy (I was pretty sick) more than I wanted to smoke. I quit cold turkey in 1989 - haven-t had a cigarette since.
keep trying it is very hard you will fail a few times but you will eventually succeed if you can make it a week or two without smoking you have it licked but you will still get the urge to smoke for quite a while actually I still get them and I havent smoked in 2 years I am pretty sure it-s like alcoholism once addicted always addicted but that doesn-t mean you can-t quit it just takes persistance and will power
The time that I quit for 4 yrs (yes, I-ve started again since like a dumba**), I chewed gum, and it helped tremendously. Just any kind of gum, it will help keep your mind off it, and keep your mouth busy, and fresh. That-s what helped me the most. Also, take deep breaths, and just notice how good it feels to actually breathe fresh air. Yoga might also help.
Hi,

If you realy wants to quit smoking then you should know some facts.

This is for your information pl. that Cigarette smoking kills nearly about 420,000 people a year, making it more lethal than AIDS, accidents, homicides, suicides, drug overdoses, and fire.

The main risks of smoking are

1. Heart disease
2. Cancer
3. Dementia and neurologic diseases
4. Lung disease
5. Female infertility and pregnancy
6. Male sexuality and reproduction
7. Behavioural and Social Problems
8. Effects on bones and joints

The methods to quit smoking are

At this time the most effective methods for quitting is a combination of nicotine replacement products and the antidepressant drug bupropion bolstered by counselling.

1. Nicotine replacement

Nicotine replacement products provide low doses of nicotine that do not contain the contaminants found in smoke. They are proving to be twice as helpful as other standard quitting methods. Replacement products include nicotine patches, gums, nasal sprays, and inhalers. Side effects of any nicotine replacement product may include headaches, nausea, and other gastrointestinal problems. People often experience sleeplessness in the first few days, particularly with the patch, but the insomnia usually passes. Patients using very high doses are more likely to experience symptoms, and reducing the dose can prevent them. Certain individuals like people with heart disease, pregnant women, small children may need to avoid nicotine replacement products.

Nicotine patches: Nicotine patches, or transdermal nicotine, can be an effective way to quit smoking. The quit rate for patch users is around 20% after six months. Nicotine patches are available over the counter, but it is best to consult a doctor before using them, particularly people with any medical problems.

Nicotine gum: Nicotine gum (Nicorette), available over the counter, has also been effective for a number of people. Some prefer it to the patch because they can control the nicotine dosage and chewing satisfies the oral urge. Long-term dependence may be a problem with this method.

Nicotine inhaler: The nicotine inhaler resembles a plastic cigarette holder. It comes with a number of nicotine cartridges which are inserted into the inhaler. It has some specific advantages over other slower nicotine replacement products:

Nicotine nasal spray: The nasal spray satisfies immediate cravings by providing doses of nicotine rapidly, and thus may play a useful role in conjunction with slower acting nicotine replacement therapies.

Nicotine tablet: A nicotine tablet that is held under the tongue is also very useful.

2. Alternative and ther Methods for Quitting

Scheduled reduction: One study showed that people who used a systematic withdrawal schedule were twice as likely to quit as those who went cold turkey. The procedure involves the following steps:


Divide the number of minutes per day awake by the number of daily cigarettes; the result is the minute-long wait between smokes.

Set up a schedule with time intervals based on this result and using a timer, smoke only at those intervals; if the -cigarette appointment- is missed by more than five minutes, the smoker must skip that cigarette.

The following week, one-third fewer cigarettes are used and the smoking time is recalculated based on the lower number.

During the third week the count is again reduced by a third, and the smoker quits in the fourth week.
Change daily habits:


Change the daily schedule as much as possible. Eat at different times or eat many small meals instead of three large ones, sit in a different chair, rearrange the furniture.

Find other ways to close a meal. Play a tape or CD, eat a piece of fruit, get up and make a phone call, or take a walk (a good distraction that burns calories as well).

Substitute oral habits (eat celery, chew sugarless gum, suck on a cinnamon stick.) Go to public places and restaurants where smoking is prohibited or restricted.

Set short-term quitting goals and reward yourself when they are met, or every day put the money normally spent on cigarettes in a jar and buy something pleasurable at the end of a predetermined period of time.

Find activities that focus the hands and mind but are not taxing or fattening: computer games, solitaire, knitting, sewing, whittling, crossword puzzles.

Avoid heavy drinking of alcohol, caffeine, or other stimulants or mood altering substances.

Enjoy Life
i am trying to quit too, it sucks. i like the niccorette fruit chill gum, it helps a lot. my mom tried chantix and it worked great for her, she quit in less than a month after smoking for almost 30 years. i wish you the best of luck and don-t kick yourself for slipping up, it is very hard to quit. just keep with it and you will do it eventually.
First off, you are NOT weak. But if you keep telling yourself that, you-re bound to believe it.
Drink water... even better from a bottle. Your body needs help detoxing, and your mind wants hand to mouth.
Remember that cravings only last 2 minutes tops, and they get easier and less day by day. Breathe through those 2 minutes and you-ve waged war against a difficult battle that you can and will win!
Lastly, I-m going to give you a site that I used every flippin day when I quit. (its free too which is a huge bonus!). Whenever I thought I-d cave to crave, I-d log in to get back to my senses. It gives advice, tips and support... all day and all night. Use it.
