JUST STOP!
sally, it takes an instant. Or ten years.
It-s entirely possible to quit without any medications, nicotine patches or gum, any of that. You just stop, and when you really crave a smoke, you take a deep breath (literally--it helps) and remind yourself why you-re quitting. In time the cravings hit less frequently, and are less intense. Depending on how long you smoked, they may never really go away.
I quit that way a number of times, then took it up again during a period of stress or self-pity. The last one took, and I-m approaching ten years now with only about 4 bummed cigarettes over that period. I still crave when I-m around smokers.
Just stop. Throw away your cigarettes. Stay away from those who smoke for a few days. Buy some gum or mints, and make a list of all the reasons you don-t want to smoke. You can do this!
Just do not pick up anopther one................if you do, take one puff and put it out. NEVER smoke alone, find gum.
Hey, great question.
I believe it takes roughly 1 second to extinguish a cigarette. However, with multiple cigarettes, this may not be so easy. I-d say a good formula would be a second for each cigarette, minus how many cigarettes you have times .1
in few seconds if you really thing to stop. you use the word how long means days it is impossible
no time at all... just dont pick up a cigarrette... in fact its more like negative time because your gaining that few minutes that you would be smoking.
