stop putting fags in your mouth.
No, seriously, you will probably have to try a couple of times, but the best advice i can give you, is to join a group, they are usually run by the council and are a great help, trying to give up on your own is a nightmare, but with support from others it is a lot easier. I used Zyban when i quit, so it does work for some, but again, your group advisor will go through everything with you.
Cravings only last a few seconds, and once you get past a couple of weeks it just gets easier.
Most important is to dis-associate yourself with the habit, eg, after eating don-t go and stand with friends who smoke, the same goes for when you are out drinking.
For a couple of months, it is better to miss out on a bit of conversation when friends go outside for a smoke, but it will be worth it in the end.
If you do find yourself back on the fags, don-t dispair, leave it a few days then start giving up again.
Stick a post- it on your pc that says. DONT GIVE UP GIVING UP. That will be a constant reminder to yourself.
Good luck.
i-ve swapped cigarettes for role ups, and as you can-t always just take one out at the busstop for example, you tend to smoke less, and get your body to get over it-s cravings, without depriving it.
I-ve done this, and eventually went down to smoking only 2 a day, and then decided I might as well stop, as I am not smoking to satisfy any cravings, but just out of habit. I-ve given up 3 months ago now, and don-t even crave it anymore.
There isn-t an easy way.
Try to pair up with someone else who also wants to give up and find a way of verifying that neither of you breaks the agreement.
Avoid alcohol, cups of coffee and everything else you associate with smoking.
Everyone is different but most people can-t cut down slowly, thinking that you will eventually stop. You have to say -NOW!- and never do it again. Like many other drugs, including heroin, once you have smoked it is easy to start by just smoking a few again. You never ever get the fact that you were hooked out of your system.
I had a friend who sucked on dried fruit whenever he wanted a cigarette. He did give up but he also got very fat :-)
1st you have to be sure you want to quit smoking.
2nd you have to be see yourself as a non smoker
3rd. See yourself in the pub or out for a meal and then see yourself being disgusted at the thought of smoking...
Its all about the way you see yourself, if you see yourself as a smoker then no matter what you do you will still be a smoker...
I learnt to quit from www.easytoquit.co.uk and it really helped me
As other people have said, the only way to give up is to stop altogether. There are lots of products on the market that are supposed to help. Personally I wouldnt bother . I used nicotine chewing gum for several months and found myself chewing 20 a day!! I then decided just to go cold turkey. It was hard for a week or so but I soon got used to it, But, if I-m honest, the one thing that really done the trick for me was seeing my friend die from emphysema, brought on from years of smoking, I-ve been smoke free for 8 years now and just know I will never smoke again.
I quit by being in hospital ICU for a couple of month so depending how you look at it that could be unlucky or lucky lol,
but my friends all quit by taking this medication called champix that was prescribed by the doc and it simply makes you not want to have a cigerret, simple as and it worked sooo yay! good for them
Hey
Just stop buying them. Next time you go to the supermarket don-t go over to the counter where they are, When you pay for your shopping you are at the other checkouts anyway so there is no need to go and get them.
Just don-t buy them.
Stop.......
