I realy want to stop smoking ive tried before to stop but you know i just cant ive been smoking for 20yrs help

Answer 1

I am quitting smoking too.cold turkey failed every time i tried it.this time i started to cut out my"triggers" after dinner cig,on the phone cig etc.the first step was to put my cigarettes and my lighter each on opposite sides of the house everytime i wanted a smoke i had to go upstairs to get the lighter...downstairs to get the cig..and then outside to smoke.trust me this cut down on a lot of those impulse cigarettes!My replacement for cigarettes was water(i never drink enough water..always coffee)instead of food.after a week i added additional obsticals to the programm...first 2 days only one cig every 2 hrs..2 days later only one every 4 hrs...i am on my second week now and only smoke about 5-10 a day(down from 3 packs on a bad day).my final step will be to get a prescription for wellbutrin(heard good things about it) i hope that will do it.the best advice i can give you is to identifie your triggers and situations when you smoke...then work on eliminating and replacing those triggers with something that works for you.my dad used suckers..my neighbor gum..try what works best for you but stay away from food because it will cause weight problems and in the end you just replace one addiction with another.Good luck..i know how hard this is

Answer 2

Find a certified clinical hypnotherapist in your area and make an appointment. Many health insurances pay part or all of quit-smoking therapies, including hypnotherapy. It usually takes 4-8 sessions once a week for 4-8 weeks, which are about 1 hour long. I did this and experienced no withdrawal or weight gain. Once you've quit, if after a couple years, you feel the urge to start again, return to a hypnotherapist and do it again. Never take one more puff after you've quit. Eliminate all things in your home associated with smoking. Avoid all habits and behavior that are associated with smoking like lying on your bed reading, etc.

Get flavoured toothpicks (they come in mint, cinnamon) and suck on them. Eat sunflower seeds which are supposed to reduce nicotene cravings. Good luck!!

Answer 3

I smoked for 12 years...i tried the patch...was allergic to the adhesive....the gum just didnt' cut it. Suprisingly enough i went and got the quit smoking in 7 days kit at the drugstore (as seen on tv) Worked like a charm....after one day....i never smoked again. Might want to give it a try. It was much much cheaper than the patches and gum and what not.

Answer 4

I used a nicotine patch. I smoked 2-3 packs /day for 15 years or so . Make sure to drink alot of water and mega dose on vitamin C.

Answer 5

It ain't easy that's for sure. A doctor told me I HAD to quit, Nicorette gum, and being away from people who smoked did it for me. Took a long time for the urge went away. There are, incidentally, good tips at the Nicorette web site.

Answer 6

quiting smoking is very very hard...you need a support team, and either cold turkey or the patch or the gum, and the key to quitting, is really really wanting to. if you don't really want to quit then you never will.
