quitting smoking?

Question

What is the easiest way to wuit smoking?
I know there is no easy way, but I really need to know the quickest way.

Answer 1

THE EASIEST WAY IS OF COURSE EASYWAY!!

Easyway – Allen Carr.

Honestly it is the only way I have ever known to actually help people quite, stay quit and be damn happy about it...unfortunately most people think the idea of an easy way to quit smoking is nonsense as people think it needs to be hard…it really doesn't.

This does exactly what it says, it is an easy way to stop smoking, and the way it works is essentially by de-programming the ingrained notions you have on smoking and quitting smoking so that it deals with the psychological problems of your smoking rather than the chemical. The chemical addiction is not the problem, you can go all night without being woken up by a craving, you will find sometimes you're having so much fun you forget to have a cigarette, quitting smoking does not have serious withdrawal.

Socially we are taught that smoking needs to be difficult, we live now in a very anti-smoking society, rather than a pro-quitting society, where there is no real support for people to quit, it teaches non-smokers that smokers are idiots and smokers that they have to suffer when they quit – if you believe it is difficult, this makes quitting smoking difficult – you believe to quit smoking requires will power and that quitting smoking will be depriving yourself of something you like doing, when you do not really like doing it, nor are you depriving yourself of anything, you are actually gaining something by quitting smoking.

Problem with most methods is that they will either involve going cold-turkey or nicotine replacement. Cold-turkey is not only depriving yourself of smoking but it is also just dealing with the chemical addiction rather than dealing with the psychological, nicotine replacement isn't depriving you however it is again only dealing with the chemical addiction, this is not the problem with smoking.

Allen Carr can explain this far better than I can, so let me just stick to telling you about Easyway – yes, it sounds gimmicky but it is the only way I have ever seen anyone quit smoking for good, and the only method to quit smoking that I have seen people happy with rather than being moody miserable and remaining under the impression that they need to fight the urge to smoke every day for the rest of their lives.

A book on Easyway from Amazon will set you back just £4, less than a pack of cigarettes, the book also offers money off their clinics – their clinics boast well over 90% success rate and give you a money-back guarantee – so that is just £4 you are spending for something that will help you quit smoking, be happy about quitting smoking and remain a non-smoker.

Not only that but you are allowed to carry on smoking while you are reading the book, in fact you are specifically told to carry on smoking while you read and the further you get into the book the less you want to smoke.

You really don't know unless you try it, I honestly recommend this to everyone I know, a lot of people are too scared to try it because they aren't ready to quit yet, but all those who have read it agree it is fantastic and the only sensible way to go about quitting smoking.

Answer 2

Many people I know have had sucess with patches. I quit cold turkey. Here is the best advice I can give.

1) DO NOT drink or attend parties for AT MINIMUM 2 weeks. Seriously it all goes to **** when your drinking.

2) For a while don't hang out with smokers. Sounds bad but just let them know you can not be around the stuff (it's soooo much harder when you actually see a cigarette...plus most smokers will be jealous and will be more than happy to allow you to light up). If they really care they will offer to not smoke around you.

3) Excercise...it'll help tremendoulsy with cravings, weight gain (which only happens if you subsitute cigarettes with food..I've actually lost weight since I quit), and the tremendous emotional out pour those first few days.

4) check out www.quitnet.com. I loved that place and pracitcally lived there when I was quitting!!!

5) THE MOST IMPORTANT THING and the only real tip you need
just don't smoke. It's not magic..just don't do it.
there will be nights that you are crying and craving so bad you can't stand it. Just know that it will pass. Drink water (I liked to drink hot tea when I was craving), go for a walk, hell eat a cupcake if you have to just don't smoke. Each morning you wake up and you didn't smoke when you really really wanted to the night before will feel soooo good. Eventually you wn't even think about them I promise!!

BEST OF LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smoking is a dirty anti-social habit that is fuelled by nicotine, a very powerful and addictive drug. You are right that there is no easy way to stop but I did it. I'll tell you how.

I was sitting in a pub (bar) with a cigarette in my hand. I looked at it, burning away, smoke rising gracefully and looked at my friends, all of whom were smoking. I thought 'What a stupid thing to do, I'm burning money here, making the place smell foul and destroying my health. I must be crazy.' I stubbed out the cigarette and to the surprise of my friends, threw away the half full packet that I had in my pocket. They asked what I was doing. 'Throwing these away.' I said, 'I don't smoke any more.' Despite their laughter I refused every cigarette offered to me afterwards and bought no more. I decided that I had 'chosen' not to smoke, and that's what I did. Each time I felt like a cigarette, and I did often, I had the choice of whether to smoke one or not. I always chose not to. The cravings diminished and after three days had gone. I started to feel bad because the poisons and toxins in my body were coming out. After a couple of weeks I lost the desire and haven't touched a cigarette since. My food started to taste better and my sense of smell returned. The stink of cigarettes now is awful and I realise that this was what I must have smelled like. My wallet was thicker and I bought other things with the money which I saved. My last cigarette was on February 14th 1975 and I have now been a non-cigarette smoker for 31 1/2 years. Please follow my example because I have one final secret to share that may help convince you. As part of my working life I used to sell Life Insurance and Pensions. Applicants had to fill in a questionaire that included the questions 'Do you smoke cigarettes?' 'If so, how many a day?' The reason we asked these questions was to ascertain 'risk', the reason being that it has been scientifically proven that the smoking of each cigarette shortens your life expectancy by around six minutes. Thus ten cigarettes a day cuts one hour off your life per day or one day every twentyfour days or one year in every twenty four. Twenty a day doubles it and so on. It doesn't take a Euclid to work out that if you start smoking at age 18 and do 20 a day then by the time of normal life expectancy, say 75 years you will have been dead for 2 1/2 of them. Thus we loaded the premiums of smokers because they die sooner and we had to pay out sooner. This is not conjecture, it's fact. Give up now and good luck to you for a longer, happier, richer and healthier life.

Answer 4

since you smoke that much everyday, your body got adjusted having these poisons running ur body. That's why people with more serious drug problems can actually die by quiting abruptly. You hav to take decrease your amount of cigarettes maybe every few weeks or whatever you're comfortable with. The reason why you were coughing and stuff (tryign to not smoke) was because your body was so used to having 2-5 cigarettes a day. So each week you should decrease slowly from 2-4cigarettes, then another few weeks, 2-3, then so on.

Answer 5

I have heard that once a smoker always a smoker, but you might be able to quit. I quit about 6 years ago, one day I just woke up and said "I will never smoke again" and I never did. My doctor told me that people spend so much money trying to quit and the best thing you can do is just not to smoke! If you feel the need for a cigarette eat carrots, as crazy as it sounds they do suppress the need for nicotine, get the baby carrots, they taste better. I hope you decide this for the best, and once you quit never go back to it, it will kill you and you loved ones too, remember second hand smoke is the worst! Good luck!

Answer 6

There are many ways to quit smoking. Different approaches work for different people.

My father quit smoking last year after he was recommended a product by Rick Beneteau.

He gave it a try and he managed to quit smoking within one month.

Our family is very proud of him because his health has greatly improved (my mom especially, because now she has more money to buy more fancy shoes, lol).

Anyways, I hope this product can help you too.

Answer 7

I smoked for 10 years. Started using the commit lozeng and worked wonders. smoke free for 3 years now. You seriously do not have any cravings for smoking!! Good luck.. you will not smell like an ashtray any longer!

Answer 8

I haven't really picked it up into a full habit, constantly but I have had craving's, and the best thing I can probably say is to pick up a new habit to replace it, I always had gum :) Gum works really good, and if that don't work, after making myself sick from smoking so much, drew me away from wanting another one.. lol

Answer 9

Do it cold turkey. I had a co-worker who was always talking about how eventually she was going to quit smoking, then one day she told me that she had just thrown out her cigarettes and decided to quit, and she hasn't smoked since.

Answer 10

I'm a champion in smoke-quitting! I quit it every day!
