Smoking is an emotional suppressant. The act of smoking keeps you from feeling unpleasant emotions that you are carrying inside of you. Be prepared that when you quit, you will be overwhelmed with every emotion you suppressed while smoking. The reason so many smokers go back to smoking is because they can-t handful unpleasant feelings or situations without smoking. Learn some positive coping skills, find a good counselor, get massage therapy, exercise. Do anything but SMOKE and EAT when you quit. Oh, and don-t forget to cry, because you will, probably for several months. Good luck! I quit after 22 years.
think about your appearence.
when you smoke your teeth turn all brown and ugly and ****
and honestly that is the ugliest thing that could happen to a person.
Don-t smoke. Plain and simple. I quit about a month ago and like you it was the fear of lung cancer that drove me to quitting. I read that on average, when one receives a diagnosis of lung cancer you have 6 months to live. Can you imagine getting that news? Just quit cold turkey. You can do it. Just dont smoke.
hi Alice in chains..
wow been there done that... it does in fact, take multiple attempts for most folks to quit.. i know in my case, it took the better part of 5 years before i actually was able to quit.. while cold turkey is one way of doing it, many folks find other methods use full..
i know for me the one thing that finally worked was to quit trying quit alone.. i joined a support group, and follwed thier advise.. i attend meetings of Nicotien Anonymous, both locally, and on line.. on line voice meetings are as close as your computer, and your welcome to attend meetings, before actually attempting a quit.. however you decide to quit good luck there is simply no wrong way to quit!!!

It-s about breaking the habit before you quit, which makes it a lot easier on you when you do decide to quit. The tips that I got from my friend about breaking the habit is the only reason why I was so successful. I know that many people are trying to quit right now and I wanted to do my best to help.

Think about doing it for someone u love- family,friends,etc. Smoking polutes and can harm everyone nearby. Hey-res special quit smoking lozenges available now in stores. IF its habit, try reading, sucking on candy or some other comfort to use when u want to smoke. It-s a great choice to stop, be encourages thinking of being healthier. Smoking is bad, thinkof what-s in cigarettes: tar, poisonous chemicals, cancer causers, nasty stuff you-d never think of eating or being around and be grossed out by the idea eventually.

Due to the unpleasantness of the withdrawal symptoms, many people who try to quit smoking end up replacing the cigarettes with some other type of addiction. This may be an addiction to prescription medication, such as sleeping tablets or tranquilizers, or an addiction to food. While you will definitely experience the health benefits of giving up nicotine, no one wants to replace one addiction with another!
A healthy diet, adequate exercise as well as natural and holistic treatments such as acupuncture, massage and herbal and homeopathic remedies can also help the smoker overcome nicotine addiction. Herbal and homeopathic treatments are a safe and effective means to reduce nicotine cravings (without giving you more nicotine) and will also help to prevent weight gain and alleviate anxiety and irritability. Basically, natural and holistic treatments not only lessen the urge to smoke, but also help you to restore balance in your body.
There are a number of ingredients such as Avena sativa, Garcinia cambogia and Gotu Cola (Centella asiatica) which will help to address the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. They reduce nicotine cravings and balance the mood.
