Answer 1

sew your mouth up goon

Answer 2

There's no easy way - trust me. From 30 a day, I had quit for about 3 years and got back to the habit again. This time under control - varying from 0 to 10 per day, with stretches of weeks when I do not smoke at all. Reduction Theory (From 20 to 10 to 5 ...) does not work. You invariably land up smoking more one day - and are full of unnecessary guilt. Doctors have no solution - else smoking would have been much less. YOU HAVE TO STOP and decide every morning that today you will not smoke. If someone asks, same reply ..."Im not smoking today". Next day repeat the same resolution of not smoking today ... slowly, you will find that the urge dies down

Answer 3

I can't remember who said it, but one of my favorite quotes is about smoking. "Quitting's easy - I've done it a thousand times".

Quitting permenantly is another story. I am a smoker. I don't want to quit, but wish I wanted to quit. This is what I am doing in the mean time...
I don't have the ultimate desire to quit, but want to be healthier so I've done a few things to help a bit.

1. I excercise more. Some studies say that those who smoke and excercise regularly are healthier than those who don't smoke or excercise at all.
2. I take breaks from smoking. I know smoking is effecting my health when I become really tired for 3 or more days for no reason, my sinuses/allergies are acting up more than usual or I have a lot of trouble sleeping. I then take about three days off from smoking and feel better.
3. I drink a lot of water. This curves appetite as well as cigarrette cravings.
4. Keep busy as much as possible. When the mind is off of cigarrettes, the desire is gone. I don't know about you, but the no smoking adds on television and on billboards everywhere are the worst things for me. They just remind me of the fact that I smoke and trigger the need.

Not sure if this is anywhere near Dr. recommended, but it may help a bit until you are completely ready and determined to quit - if that's where you are at this time

Answer 4

Take up a sport- one that stresses cardiovascular fitness. Couple that with a quit plan (gum, nicorette, etc.) and you'll be set! The sport will releive stress from quitting, as well as serve as a replacment for the reason why you may use tobacco now- to releieve stress. The sport also gives you motivation for fitness and to do your best. If yo uwant to do your absolute best at the sport then you will quit. May i suggest rowing as a sport? i row for my university and we have many people join because they want to kick a bad habit. Training for a 10 mile run,and eventually a marathon if you're serious about quitting smoking, should provide ample motivation.

Answer 5

There are two aspects of your addiction, the chemical (Nicotine addiction) and the physical (keeping you mouth busy).

Research has shown that nicotine replacement via the patch or nicotine gum, has less of a percentage of quitting than complete removal from nicotine.

I would recommend using an herbal snuff to help with the physical. I used Hooch Snuff (http://www.hoochsnuff.com/) to get me off tobacco.

As for the chemical, you just have to go cold turkey and get beyond the addiction (typically 3 hard days and 2 weeks of cravings). There is info on how to get beyond the nicotine withdrawl at http://www.hoochsnuff.com/HelpQuitting.aspx

Answer 6

Make your decision and stick to it. Reap the rewards or suffer the consequences. The choice is yours and yours alone. Sit down and write yourself a note telling yourself how you feel and why you want to stop. Carry it with you always. Then when you get the cravings, read your note. No one else has to know you're doing this. Try a substitute. for example, fresh fruit or a large glass of water in lieu of tobacco. You may have to be creative to help manage your weight. Believe, you can do it! I believe you can do it.

Answer 7

First of all, you need to be commended for wanting to give up this powerful addiction...After years of trying everything imaginable to quit....I was finally able to quit "Cold Turkey"...I tried Zyban pills, the gum and patches.....I smoked over 40 years and lost both of my parents to lung cancer....The doctor told me to cut back, so I went from a pack a day habit to a pack a week...Finally I just quit...I have occasional cravings, but they seem to be disappearing as time goes by....Good luck and God bless you!

Answer 8

The patch helped me a lot but it is still hard even with that. I have been off skoal for years and I still crave it sometimes.. Kinda like a alcoholic, Your never get rid of it. Just gotta control the craving

Answer 9

mind

Answer 10

The biggest thing for me, was getting used to the idea that I would NEVER again have a cigarette. It just seemed so....impossible, that for THE REST OF MY LIFE. It just seemed so unfair....

Looking back I realize that I thought it would be much tougher than it was. Just decide to do it, get over the pain of seperation, and move on.

Answer 11

First thing in the morning get up and get a good chew of tobacco, and swallow the juice. Repeat as needed.
