quit smoking?

Question

i am trying to stop smoking. any good ideas?

Answer 1

Stop buying fags, and stop buying the cigs too! ;-) Don't hang around with friends who smoke all the time, don't go places where they sell cigs. Eliminate cigs from your life as much as possible in every way. Change your mental attitude of them to objects of disgust. That ought to do it.

Answer 2

Give up two things at the same time, cigarettes and ... something else like chocolate, or whatever you would turn to instead of smoking. Then, when you feel bad, and you will (I smoked for 30 years before giving up 4 years ago) blame the feeling on the other item you gave up. It is like a fence between you and the ciggies. Try not to climb the fence and you will stay away from the ciggies. If it is chocs/sweets that you choose as the fence, it also saves the increased weight associated with giving up the weed. Good luck. It can be done, honestly. x

I know 3 people who were very very heavy smokers for years. They all read the Alan Carr book on how to stop smoking and none of them have touched a cigarette since. Apparently it's excellent! Try it! Another idea is to visit a cardiao-thoracic intensive care unit and see what smoking has done to some of our patients! Surgeries have smoking cessation nurses who can give you advice! Maybe the new law coming in on April 2nd that will ban smoking in public places will help you! Some of my friends are hoping to give up then! (I am an ex-smoker, not just some non smoker preaching to you!)

Answer 4

Yes! I quit smoking on 6th October 1997 when I misunderstood the surgeon as I came round from gallbladder removal. I thought he said I had the symptoms of Angina - and I was so angry because I planned to retire in 1999 and so frightened I would die that I never had another cigarette. Six weeks later he told me I had the symptoms of Apnoea [Sleep deprivation] but I had already given up smoking for 6 weeks by then - and do you know I honestly don't think about it at all now!

Answer 5

nicorette chewing gum worked for me. been 1 year now and its a real rollercoaster ride .you gotta really want this and if you stop then have a smoke don,t think you have to start smoking again . having a smoke them first couple of weeks makes all the difference so long as your cutting down. chew as many gums as u need don,t follow the packet instructions and try and chew before u want to smoke that nails the craving before it gets to bad . down side to this is it tastes awful but u get used to it just about and you will probably get a dicky tummy. good luck man oh buy a bike thats good to see how much fitter u get each week you will be amazed

Answer 9

smoked for 20 years and managed to give up easily, i also gave up half a lung (a quite painful and degrading process) and have been unable to work for 5 months and next month i start chemo. give up now, you probably wont enjoy the two tubes you have to have stitched into your body to drain the gunk from your lungs into see through plastic jars that you carry around with you for 4 or 5 days . give up please, everyone thinks it will never happen to them but believe me it does.
