You know, willpower is a marvelous thing..... My grandfather smoked for 35 years and way back when, when they discovered it caused cancer, he put down his pack and never picked up another cigarette.....
Many people try to use things to help - but willpower is the most effective.. Try a hobby to fill in the gap..... it's a habit.... when the phone rings, grab something ELSE because you're used to grabbing that cigarette. Not easy - but gives you a powerful feeling.

considering the fact that you smoke that so much daily, your frame received adjusted having those poisons going for walks ur frame. That's why folks with extra critical drug disorders can truthfully die through quiting instantly. You hav to take lessen your quantity of cigarettes perhaps each and every few weeks or something you are at ease with. The cause why you had been coughing and stuff (tryign not to smoke) used to be considering the fact that your frame used to be so used to having two-five cigarettes an afternoon. So each and every week you will have to lessen slowly from two-4cigarettes, then an additional few weeks, two-three, then so on.

The best way is what ever works for you. Some people can quit with the patch, some with the gum, some with medications, and some just straight cold turkey. I even knew one guy that in order for him to quit, he had to carry a pack of cigs with him at all times. The stress of not having them if he needed them was too much. It worked for him.

Everyone is different on the best way for them. I was able to quit using the nicotine patch and gum as needed. Just make sure when using the patch to not smoke a cig or you can get really sick(dizziness,nausea) Try to remove all signs of smoking from your life, get rid of lighters, ashtrays. I needed something for my hands to do so I carried a ink-pen cap with me to hold on to. Also have suckers handy. They give your hand and mouth both something to do. Good luck to you. It's hardest for the first week or so. Then it gets easier as you start feeling better.

Quitting smoking is a great opportunity to learn about ourselves, as you have already observed.
Congratulate yourself on having the desire to stop - then you are over the worst, but still need to maintain your resolve. It's just so easy to start thinking that just one won't hurt, but it does. Just one achieves nothing except feeling the need for another. Whatever you do, don't have just one. Beware - alcohol will weaken your resolve.
Here's a few home-brewed tips that might be useful.
It's not just nicotine addiction - there are 50+ chemicals in cigarettes. Also the main problem is habit.
We have been used to having body sensations which we translate as 'my body needs something', which we have attempted to satisfy by having a cigarette.
When we try to stop smoking, we still get these 'my body needs something' sensations, and we still feel that we want a cigarette. We have to train our body to be more selective. When we feel we need something, we have to work out what it is that we actually need.
A glass of water is an excellent substitute if nothing else comes to mind, as it helps with the clearance of the toxic substances in our body. Another good substitute is a bag of salted peanuts, used in combination with the water.
Another thing to do is to find an activity which occupies the mind or body. Go swimming - nobody wants to smoke while they are swimming. Slowly, as our body adjusts and translates the 'want something' feelings into something other than cigarettes, then the feelings begin to go away. We know its not a cigarette that the body really needs, because as soon as we've had one we still have the feeling, and want another!
We will have a few bouts of feeling or even being short tempered. We must try to bite our lip, and control; ourselves. Recognise the short temper as being the removal of toxins which are trying to find a way out. They went in through the mouth, and they try to get out that way to. We must learn to keep our mouth closed, and force the toxins out the other way.
After we have stopped for a while we will begin to feel that just one wont to any harm.
All that leads to is a desire for just another one. We must guard very strongly against the desire to have just one.

Its hard to get over the oral fixation you get from smoking. I chewed for over 17 years, and recently, for my 30th birthday as a gift to myself, I quit. I got over the fixation with chewing gum- namely trident white Spearmint....of course now I spend twice as much in gum as I ever did with chew, but the health benefits are worth it.
