how to quit smoking?

Answer 1

I was smoking 4 packs a day when I quit. Got up one morning and coughed my lungs out for five minutes, took the pack of cigarettes and threw them in the wastebasket and I haven't looked back since. That was 20 years ago and I am so happy I quit but it was the hardest thing I ever did in my life.

Answer 2

Set a date to quit and on that day throw away all your tobacco products and tobacco related products like lighters and ashtrays. If you can go away for a few days, do. You need to change your surroundings if you possibly can. You kick the physical addiction in only 4 days. You will think about smoking, and each time you do, give yourself some MILD negative reinforcement, like a pinch on the arm, or 10 or 20 pushups. Take a lot of walks or bike rides. Do a yoga class and learn deep breathing, it helps you concentrate and keep your mind off smoking. If you backslide, don't worry about it, just start over. You will quit. Actually quitting is a LOT easier than they say, its just hype tobacco companies put out to try to keep people addicted, but quitting is pretty easy. Anyway, good luck, I know you can do it. You will be amazed how much money you save, so after a few months go out and treat yourself to something really nice!

Smoking Patches

Answer 4

put your head under water, like in a pool or in the bathtub. Count how long you can stay under. each time stay under one more second. when you absolutely positively, cannot stay under a second more, stay under for 30 more seconds.

Don't think you can do it? Why not? running out of breath? Well, listen up, you are doing the same thing but slower. eventually your body will not be able to process all the oxygen it needs to survive. That is when you will begin to get early wrinkling, dry skin, dry hair, brown teeth and soon after you will be one of the millions of people who chose a slow unnatural painfully awful death.

To make things even more worth it. Your children will always wonder why you didn't want to live long enough to see them grow up.

Don't be stupid. Quit now, missing the next smoke is a lot easier than missing your first grandchild's birth.

Answer 5

Quit after many years.

WILL.
Must have strong WILL like steel. Draw symbol of smoking ban as often to maintain your WILL.

Clarify yourself smoking is from Outer in adulthood, not from Self in childhood. NO OTHER REASONS.

Use principals: Air vs AIr, Water vs Fire, Wood for Wood.

PHYSICAL:
Eat oatmeal as often to remove nicotine.
Choose a long weekend for a long sleep to reduce to 1/2 class a day as possible. Drink sweet juice.

AIR vs AIR
Have a family member to clean house, car, clothes, everything TWICE.
Purify indoor air like Hospital's smelling.
Stay in non-smoking, free chemical smelling: library...
smoke outdoor, put on a raincoat.
wash hands, head, and mouth immediately, or water shower.
avoid any kind of smoke of cooking, air fresher, candle, gasoline...

WATER vs FIRE:
put the left cigarettes in water bottle and pray. This works for some but not all.

Answer 7

This method works for me and is the only money back guaranteed.
I quit smoking 2 years ago


Get the Facts
Easyway, founded by Allen Carr in 1983, has the highest independently verified 12-month success rate (75.8% for a smoker completing the program) of any quit smoking technique and a 90% satisfaction rating.

Compare Easyway to other methods and see for yourself why Easyway is called “The Cadillac of quit smoking methods.”

The Allen Carr Method
HOW THE METHOD WORKS

Using psychotherapy, the method works in the opposite way to the “willpower” method. It does not concentrate on the reasons the smoker should not smoke : the money, the slavery, the health risks and the stigma. Smokers know all that already. Instead it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.

It is fear that keeps smokers hooked!

Fear the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Fear the smoker will be unable to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear the smoker will have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear the smoker will never get completely free from the craving.

The Method removes these fears
Smokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted….

TO BE FREE!

What about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?

The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most smokers don’t realise that they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try and quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.

The Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation.
It removes the need and desire to smoke. Once the smoker is in the right frame of mind and they follow the simple instructions, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.

No Gimmicks!

The Method does not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhilators or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment!

The Allen Carr Method is successful because:

It removes the smokers’ conflict of will.
There are no bad withdrawal pangs.
It is instantaneous and easy.
It is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers.
You need not gain weight.
You will not miss smoking.

Medical Endorsements

A personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health

“I have no hesitation in supporting Allen Carr’s work. Many clinics use some of his techniques but it would appear that few do it in quite such a successful package.”

Carole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees

“his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”

Dr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital

“I have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.”

Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong

“It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.”

Dr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research
Fund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London

”...I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.”

Dr PM Bray MB CH.b., MRCGP

“I was really impressed by the method. In spite of the Allen Carr organisation’s success and fame, there were no gimmicks and the professional approach was something a GP could readily respect. I would be happy to give a medical endorsement of the method to anyone.”

Celebrity Endorsements

"His method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, while you are actually smoking. I’m pleased to say it has worked for many of my friends and staff.”
Sir Richard Branson

“Some friends of mine who had stopped using Allen Carr’s method suggested I tried it. I did. It was such a revelation that instantly I was freed from my addiction. Like those friends of mine, I found it not only easy but unbelievably enjoyable to stay stopped.”
Sir Anthony Hopkins

GOOD LUCK

Answer 9

think of all the people you'll hurt if you don't quit. Think of all the pain that you'll have to go through, all the surgery, all the money wasted. Think of all the happiness you could have with the time and money you spend smoking, and think of the time you'll spend with a loved one in old age, something that won't happen because of cancer. Finally, think of all the pain you'll cause yourself.
