Answer 1

Have you tried hypnosis? It works for some people. I have been hearing that doctors are starting people on Welbutrin( an anti-depressant) to help cope with it. It apparently gives off the same chemicals as smoking does (dopamine). Ask your doc about it! Good luck hun! And good for you! It's a hard habit to kick. I know from experience!

Answer 2

This is a very hard and difficult thing for lots of people to do. First of all you should come to the complete decision that this is something that you want to do. Then do it because you can.

I quit twice. I have not had a cigarette since Feb 1972.

Then "QUIT" It is a day to day thing and in some people an hour by hour thing. You should tell all your relatives, friends, and co-workers that you are trying to quit and they are under no circumstance to offer or smoke in your presence. With this being done, now come the really hard part, you just have to stop smoking. You will think about a cigarette, you will feel the smoke going around in your mouth and out your nose and mouth, but stay the course and not get off.

If for some reason you do pick up a cigarette, don't get down on yourself, start the procedure over again. If you have to go hour by hour tough it out. Eventually you will be going day to day.

Now if you quit for a period of time like say a week or month celebrate and let all those that are in your vacinity that you are celebrating your first week of guitting smoking, they will cheer you on, shake you hand and give you courage to continue, you will need that.

Even after the long period of time that you quit, you will still desire to smoke, eventually that will go away. Now one month after you have quit go out and treat yourself again, do the same tell all around you that you are celebrating your one month of not smoking.

If you like gum try chewing gum, I did, but it eventually got to sweet for me so I discarded that idea. You might try a stick of candy, or other things that is handy and easy to carry around in your pocket.

If you are use to having a cup of coffee or cocktail while smoking you might have to leave those along for awhile until you are over the cigarettes. I had to stop drinking coffee, because I was use to having a cup with a cigarette. I am now back to drinking two cups of coffee. This might have to be a temporary thing.

Patches, gums and the other commercial stuff they sell on the market does not work, because I feel that it is a crutch, and you don't need a crutch.

Keep in mind that this is a long hard difficult thing to do, but you can do it. It will take time and effort on your part, but who is bigger you or the cigarette?

So take it one hour at a time or one day at a time, tell you kid when you come home, daddy did not smoke today, I will try not to smoke again tomorrow. That helps when you say it out loud especially to your child, it reinforces your resolve and make tomorrow a little better. You also don't want to lie to your child because eventually your child will start asking you "did you smoke today Daddy? What will your answer be?

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

"FIGHT ON"

Answer 3

someone stole my answer....never start! They told you at school the risks...the "just say no" and you didn't listen. Now that you can't breathe and are sick you come crying for Mr. miracle or Mr. technology to fix you....sorry for starting so harsh..but I do have a plan for you it involves some psychology...keep smoking a little longer...but everytime you have a smoke...eat a piece of candy or chew gum (but pick 1 and only 1 kind and use the same EVERY time) ok let's say you have winterfresh gum...each smoke chew that gum every time afterwards. do this for i dunno how long.. but then eventually your brain will associate the cigarettes with the gum chewing and even if you don't smoke when you chew the gum your brain will think you have smoked. check out Ivan Palov's experiment with the dog..it'll make more sense good luck don't give up

Answer 4

Not smoking becomes a stress excersise. You really need to find something to replace the habit. For a lot of people smoking was a way to relax and reduce stress or tense situations. If you know other ex smokers watch them when they are just sitting around doing nothing. They figit. You need to find something to keep your hands busy.
If you believe in the power of prayer, pray. But remember all prayers are not answered overnite.

Good Luck and keep busy.

Answer 5

I just quit smoking under 2 weeks ago using the patch and I found that it works good to control physical cravings
not the mental ones, that is why they say to be used with willpower. It's hard but I got used to it almost fully already.

Five Keys for Quitting Smoking

Studies have shown that these five steps will help you quit and quit for good. You have the best chances of quitting if you use them together.

1. Get Ready
2. Get Support
3. Learn new skills and behaviors
4. Get medication and use it correctly.
5. Be prepared for relapse or difficult situations.


1. Get Ready

* Set a quit date.

* Change your environment.
1. Get rid of ALL cigarettes and ashtrays in your home, car, and place of work.
2. Don't let people smoke around you.

* Review your past attempts to quit. Think about what worked and what did not.

* Once you quit, don't smoke—NOT EVEN A PUFF!


2. Get Support and Encouragement

Studies have shown that you have a better chance of being successful if you have help. You can
get support in many ways —

* Tell your family, friends, and co-workers that you are going to quit and want their support. Ask them not to smoke around you or leave cigarettes out where you can see them.

* Talk to your health care provider (e.g., doctor, dentist, nurse, pharmacist, psychologist, or smoking cessation coach or counselor).

* Get individual, group, or telephone counseling. Counseling doubles your chances of success.

* The more help you have, the better your chances are of quitting. Programs are available at local hospitals and health centers free. Call your local health department for information about programs in your area.

* Telephone counseling is available at 1–800–QUIT–NOW.


3. Learn New Skills and Behaviors

* Try to distract yourself from urges to smoke. Talk to someone, go for a walk, or get busy with a task.

* When you first try to quit, change your routine. Use a different route to work. Drink tea instead of coffee. Eat breakfast in a different place.

* Do something to reduce your stress. Take a hot bath, exercise, or read a book.

* Plan something enjoyable to do every day.

* Drink a lot of water and other fluids.


4. Get Medication and Use It Correctly

Medications can help you stop smoking and lessen the urge to smoke.

* The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved six medications to help you quit smoking:
1. Bupropion SR—Available by prescription.
2. Nicotine gum—Available over–the–counter.
3. Nicotine inhaler—Available by prescription.
4. Nicotine nasal spray—Available by prescription.
5. Nicotine patch—Available by prescription and over-the-counter.
6. Nicotine lozenge—Available over–the–counter.

* Ask your health care provider for advice and carefully read the information on the package.

* All of these medications will double your chances of quitting and quitting for good.

* Nearly everyone who is trying to quit can benefit from using a medication. However, if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, nursing, under age 18, smoking fewer than 10 cigarettes per day, or have a medical condition, talk to your doctor or other health care provider before taking medications.


5. Be Prepared for Relapse or Difficult Situations

Most relapses occur within the first three months after quitting. Don't be discouraged if you start smoking again. Remember, most people try several times before they finally quit. The following are some difficult situations you may encounter:

* Alcohol. Avoid drinking alcohol. Drinking lowers your chances of success.

* Other Smokers. Being around smoking can make you want to smoke.

* Weight Gain. Many smokers will gain some weight when they quit, usually less than 10 pounds. Eat a healthy diet and stay active. Don't let weight gain distract you from your main goal—quitting smoking. Some quit-smoking medications may help delay weight gain.

* Bad Mood or Depression. There are a lot of ways to improve your mood other than smoking. Some quit-smoking medications also lessen depression.


If you are having problems with any of these situations, talk to your doctor or other health care provider.
