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.

Natural Quit Smoking Magic

Answer 3

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

it sounds like you need to visit a hospital or maybe you no some one with chronic enpozima. I use to smoke about 13 years ago but I had to take care of my mother in law and I watched her die of a slow death from smoking she died at the age of 52 I had taken care of her for 5 years before I saw her take her very last breath. After that I put them down she died with 1/4 if her lungs left. If that don't wake you up nothing will. You have to have the want to the desire to stop not just words.

Answer 6

Quiting smoking is one of the hardest things to do. In order to stop smoking, you have to break the habits associated with smoking. If you smoke after you drink or eat, that's a habit you've associated with smoking. You need to break that habit of wanting to smoke after eating, but that is much more difficult said than done. If you smoke socially, you might want to get away from the friends that smoke.
One thing that might help is to realize how bad smoking is to your health. Do a little research and see what all that tar and noxious chemicals do to your body, and it gets to be scary.

Answer 7

I think Cold Turkey is the best way, I have previously quit for one year and four months using that, but then used stress and exuse! Stress and cigs have nothing in common it doesnt make u feel more relaxed it just gives you the fix for your addiction.

I am going to attempt it this new year again, and what helped me last time was when I was getting very strong urges I would walk round the block once and when I got back in the house the craving was gone!

Answer 9

you dont need anything but determination, its all in your mind, you been smoking to the point where you feel you need it to releive your stress but you dont need anything but god you are just used to smoking and its hard for you to break that habit. if people can quit smoking crack cold turkey you can quit, but it all depends on how much you are determined. cause its all in the mind, for example if you somewhere and you needed to take a puff but noticed a sign that said all smokers in this area will be fined $200.00 will you still smoke? course not but you see my point?! you have more control than you think! OK! GOOD LUCK SWEETIE!

Answer 10

Years ago, a good friend of mine shared her success `story' with me; and because it was a good one; I'll tell you what she said to me; she basically got some big bottles of Vitamin C (the chewable sort - orange or lemon flavoured) and every time she "got the urge" she popped on in her mouth and sucked on it. EVERY TIME. She said that not only did she successfully give up smoking; but the Vitamin C killed the urge to eat and so she had been able to do it WITHOUT gaining weight!
Good one, eh?? Hope this may be of some help to YOU in your efforts to do a very survival thing for yourself!!! Go for it.
