Answer 2

I quit cold turkey once, was a non-smoker for over a year, then I went to a Halloween party and started up again. I'm 23 years old and I've been smoking since I was 13 or so. I've tried the gum, I've tried the patch....the gum is nasty and the patch burns like hell, so after a few hours I had to stop. If you do it cold turkey, apparently that if you can not smoke for over 3 days, then you've basically quit. It takes 3 days for nicotine to leave your system, so if you make it past day 3, you're there! YOu can also try hypnosis. I don't believe in hypnosis, but a lot of people use it these days. Also, doctors say that, every time you get a craving for a cigarette, take a sip of water and that will help with the cravings.

when I quit cold turkey, since all my friends and family smoke, i asked them to not smoke around me and that if I ask for a cigarette, no matter how much I beg, DO NOT GIVE ME ONE! That seemed to do the trick for the most part until I started again Lol. GOOD LUCK!

It was a gradual process for me. I smoked for 7 years, and was up to a pack and a half a day by the end. I started going to the gym and replacing my cravings with exercise. Funny though cause for a while I’d finish my cardio then go out for a puff. It became less and less over the next 3 months and eventually I’d just have one maybe three or four at a hard night a the bar. Eventually that became maybe 1 then none. On a few occasions I’d ask a friend for one, but it became harder and harder to choke it down. It go to the point where I’d have a puff and cringe at the feeling, and I could have any more. Last year I thought I’d try it at a party I was having and asked for a drag...oh dear god. It was horrible and I felt awful for the next two days. I could feel it in my lungs, and the only thing that cleared it out was a good long walk with a bit of jogging to clear me out. It also helps that in our town people are not allowed to smoke in restaurants, bars and within 15 feet of any entrance to a public building. Four years ago I may have complained about it, but now I am thankful, and it was definitely for the best. I am in great shape now and feel fantastic, and can do things (in bed too) that I couldn’t do before (like run for forty five minutes or something else for forty five minutes Ha ha!)

Answer 4

its really mind over matter,and one who says they are going to quit smoking probably means they wont..i smoked for 12 years and just quit one day cold turkey,the 1st three days are the worst when you get past that the urge is just an after thought.put your mind too it an you will be able to quit.also try and stay away from people that are smoking for about a week,its hard to avoid smokers but it can be done.good luck..and cold turkey wont affect your brain like that person said(thats nonsense)im just as insane as your typical non smoker.

Answer 5

Get patches or the gum and try. I will never smoke. But I know that quiting 'cold turkey' is bad for your brain. And could cause damage. Since that happened to one person in my family. Go to your doctor and ask about some sort of medication you could take.

Answer 6

My father has told me for YEARS that he would stop smoking if.... i got all A's in school (that didnt happen) and if i lost a certain amount of weight... but he still lights up.. good luck!
