I have tried many things to stop. I smoked 3 packs a day. I smoked so much it was more than my car payments every month. The best program I have used is the "quit smoking right now program" http://tinyurl.com/yag6v4
They helped me go cold turkey and never look back. In fact, I can have a cigarette now and not want another one. That's how great it works.
I used the patch as well, and didn't smoked for 2 months but had headaches every day. the mental part is hell, no question. what worked for me is chewing big red gum, (no other flavor helped, kinda strange), and changing your habits. if you normally wake up and smoke while drinking coffee, take a walk instead and have coffee when you get back. you really have to do something totally different at those times when you would normally be smoking. it's hard to do, but someone told me that the mental craving of a cigarette only lasts for 7 minutes, so, if you can get past that 7 minutes, it'll be easier! I suggest you invest in yourself and then put the money you are saving into a jar and watch it grow, then buy yourself a nice reward for quitting. good luck to you!

I want to quit smoking, but it is hard. I want to go cold turkey and do not want to set a quit date, I just want to start right away and do not know how. I guess I need help on how to do it and do it now. Every time I light up a smoke I just do not want it and is very tied of smoking. Please give me some points on how to put them down for good.

In March it will be 2 years for me not smoking. I used the Nicotrol Inhaler. It looked foolish and I only used it for a few months but it worked. There is also a new pill out called Chantix but you need a prescription for both. Good luck!!!

Truly the only way to quit is cold turkey... The first three days are the worst and after that it is all mental. Depending on your addiction level, you may need to lock yourself at home for the first couple of days...Chew gum when you have cravings...I have quit for 3 years now and during the first year I always had a pack of gum on me.
Good Luck!

Write down all the good things about smoking and all the negative things about smoking. You'll realise that there is more negatives. Stick this up where you can see it and it will remind you before you take a puff

Now. That's the time.
Seriously. All you have to do is decide that you are now a nonsmoker. Then just live that new lifestyle.
