how did you quit smoking?

Answer 1

I dont want to make this sound like its very simple but I just decided one day that I was going to stop after fifteen years. I didnt broadcast it to everyone or make a big deal of it and the days slipped by, then the weeks and I felt great. Everyone can do it . Just dont allow yourself to feel like you are enslaved by it.For most people its a habit, not a chemical addiction, so learn to break the habits. Recognise the times you normally light up eg with a coffee etc and do something else. I wish you the best with this. It is just the best feeling when you take control

Answer 2

Cut back on Cigarettes
Be serious about quitting
Find something to keep you very busy
The patch works well too, you can get it free if you call some of the agencies to help quit smoking.
I was able to be part of a study on quitting smoking and believe it or not after more than 20 years of smoking, I am free!
I've never felt better!
Good luck to you

Answer 3

I started smoking lighter and lighter cigarettes, with intent to quit. One day I got extremely sick with the flu, but had to keep going to work anyway. I was so sick I couldn't stand the thought of a cigarette, and it was a freezing January and I couldn't smoke indoors at home or at work. After two weeks when I got better the urge to smoke had also passed to a large extent. I started smoking again later, but when I got bronchitis, and could feel what it's like to have messed up lungs, I quit again for good.

Answer 4

I agree.

Just do these things and you will smoke much less.

1) Don´t smoke at home. Try to go smoking outdoors
2) Don't finish the cigarette. Once you are more or less "satisfied" just throw it away.
3) Try to wait 5 minutes before you light on a cigarette

I wish you luck. And don´t quit your fight. If you keep trying, even if you can´t now, you will be able later.

Answer 5

I changed things that made me want to smoke. I quit cold turkey 2 years ago this new years eve. I didn't goto bars and drink for a while, instead of my morning coffee I switched to tea. I started to knit to keep my hands occupied and I went through enough sugar free gum and mints to freshen the breath of the entire world. lol Also, I joined a health club so that when the restlessness hit me...I would have an outlet for it. When I craved a smoke very badly...instead I took a walk. good luck

Answer 6

Cold turkey. I threw away my last few cigarettes and my lighters. The first three days were awful. Five and a half years later i still think about it just about everyday. As much as I miss it, I am even happier that I do not smoke.

Answer 7

Smoke less.
Nice and slowly,reduce the number of smokes you smoke a day then your body will get used to less nicotine in the system.

Answer 8

I kept decreasing the number of cigarettes and also kept going to a lower nicotine cigarette. Eventually, I could not find a cigarette that tasted good. I quit. I suppose I was lucky.
