Answer 2

Good for you! You must be determined to be a non-smoker and visualize yourself as such. Getting a hobby or even a simple prop to keep your hands busy will help. Create a couple 'mantras' that mean something to you, like Smoking stinks and This extra $___ per month is really going to be nice for___.Once you get past the first three days you'll be over the worst and just have to keep from going back, so have a plan for how you're going to spend your time and stay away from 'triggers'. When you want to quit more than you want to smoke you will find the strength. I quit when I was 42 after 24 years. I have been cigarette free for 5 years this December! Best of luck, for your health and happiness!

Answer 3

Your best bet is to talk to your doctor for numerous reason. Once you quit you will automatically gain 10 pounds and the fat is hard to get rid of. Secondly, it could give you a heart attack if not careful. Thridly, you should start exercising slowly everyday to get in shape. Eat heathly foods like fruit and vegetables, not junk food that will make it worst. Don't drink alcohol or go to places where people smoke which will might make you tempt to smoke again. My doctor says the best way is cold turkey. It is tough through the first two weeks, then the craving starts to ween off. I did it and I realized how easy it was to quit smoking after I quit. At first it seems hard because of the craving. I believe it is all psychological with the nicotine as a drug to make you think it is hard to quit, which is why smokers crave for the nicotine of the cigarette. Eventhough, it takes approximately 7 years for your lungs to get back to normal after quitting, but that does not mean it is back the way it was before you started smoking. The reason is that the blood vessels and tissue have been harm by smoking and is now permanently damaged for good. The key is to contol how many you smoke then slowly reduce the number of cigarettes to smoke before quitting cold turkey with will power, don't let it control you. Just to let you know there are companies out there who will help their employees quit under a program they may have too. Mine does. It will be tough for you to quit because you probably have been smoking for a very long time. Again see you doctor first before quitting. They know what is be best for you or any smoker who wants to quit. Good luck.

Answer 4

My wife and I are going through the same thing too. We set a quit date of Monday. I'm doing it cold turkey and she is going the Wellbuturin route. I've tried Wellbuturin in the past with no luck. I'm going to put my mind to it and fight the cravings until success. My sister's father-in-law was just diagnosed with lung cancer. Unfortunately it's stage 4. It has spread to his brain as well. He is the nicest guy in the world! He is 66 years old and a smoker since he was a teen. The saddest part about it is he quit for 15 years and just picked it up 2 years ago when he was going through alot of stress with his wife dying of cancer.

My sister and bro-in-law told him to keep smoking, why not? He only has 6-8 months to live. He quit anyway because he said he doesn't want to send the message that smoking is alright. It's so sad . I'm going to use this as my motivation to quit.

Good luck with your plan! Please do it for yourself and your family!

Answer 5

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 6

I have been using these cigarette filters called nic out, they cut out most of the tar and nicotine but you still get to smoke, ( for those like me who have tried everything else) there hard to get used to for the first couple of days but fine after that, I have been using them for 4 months now and no long hack and cough and have chest pain, can even run up the stairs!!!
