Whats the best way to stop smoking with out the patch or gum?

Answer 1

I started quiting by extending the time before i smoked for example first thing in the morning i always smoked so i waited til after coffee then i waited til after lunch then waited til afternoon pretty soon it was one before bed then it was none at all. this worked for me and made it easier to quit but it may not work for you cold turkey has helped others. My father in law got a pill from the doctor. different people different methods. Try your best and don't give up trying to quit! Good luck!!!

cold turkey... the first few days are rough.....

i smoked two packs a day for many many years....

I made up my mind that on June 1, 2000 I would stop smoking....

I have not smoked for six years..... once you cheat.. it is hard to stop...

just bare through it and it gets easier...... and do not believe that crap about gaining weight....

yes i still think about smoking.. and i dream about it.. wait or should i say i have nightmares.. and i wake up worried that I was smoking....

i can be around other people who smoke and it does not bother me...

my main concern was when i was in a bar drinking or partying... hell a few more shots and who needs cigs in a bar....

it is easier just to quit all together.. and get it out of your system once and for all.....

i tried the gum and patches in the past.. and it did not work....

cold turkey is the way to go...

Change all your routines or habits that involved smoking. Don't hang out with smokers. Eat a carrot every time you want to smoke (part of the addiction is the hand/mouth thing.) Get rid of all your ashtrays. Have your car professionally cleaned to get the smoke smell out. Don't go to bars where they allow smoking. Don't drink the same alcoholic drinks that you used to while smoking. Remove (or rearrange) the chairs on your patio or in your garage where you used to sit and smoke. Drink tea or coffee immediately after every meal instead of smoking. Come up for a solution when something stresses you out - an aromatherapy candle, chamomile tea, etc.

Most doctors agree, is to quite cold turkey, if u can get by after a week, you could do it. That how i did it, I woke up and decided i was going to stop, it was terrible for the first week, but after that i started to feel better, i stayed away from people who smoked and didn't drink or go to bars for two months, I've been smoke free now for 7 months. Will power u could do it. Otherwise, go see a doctor, there is a new drug out, 4get name, my BF is on it now, and has not smoked for 19days so I guess its working. LOL

Answer 6

To stop smoking I used to chew one of those little red plastic stir sticks you get in some bars & fast food restaurants for stirring coffee & things..
I would carry around about a dozen or so in my pocket..
Every time I wanted a cigarette, I would chew on one of the little sticks....Worked perfect...Within a few weeks, I didn't need the sticks any more....I have not smoked in years ....

Answer 7

I've never smoked but can I suggest plain chocolate? It's not too fattening and something to get addicted to that can, I believe, do you a little good. Hope this helps.
