I quit 4 years ago. The secret to not smoking is when the thought for a cig comes into your head, immediately think of something else. The day will come relatively fast when you realize you've gone through a whole day and have not thought about smoking. People who smoke don't realize how much of their time is taken up with thinking about smoking. Good luck! It is well worth it!

Well my best friend and I have given up smoking to and we found that when we have a crave for a ciggie we just put a piece of gum in our mouths and we read and we are studding for a Certificate so we study to so find something else to do that you both enjoy and can do toghter and do it and before you know it you both will not have any crave for a ciggies I hope this helps a bit.

I stopped nearly 2 years ago, I had laser therapy, the advice i was given was when i thought about having a cigarette take three big deep breaths concentrating on your breathing! drink plenty of water and chewing gum also helps (its stops you from reaching for the food cupboard all the time)
If you associate cigs with certain drinks etc, then for a short time cut them out!
After the 1st few days you will feel better and just keep saying 2 yourself, I've not had a cigarette for so many days now!
Good Luck and I hope you manage to stop!! you will feel so much better for it, and so will your purse.

Wish I knew the secret to qutting - I'm trying, but so far, no luck. I do have one suggestion that someone had posted on a similar question I posted about quitting smoking. Try the lozenges. I can't use the patch because my skin is prone to allergies and rashes - sensitive to certain things, so I'm going to try the lozenges. Give 'em a shot - whatta 'ya got to lose, right? Good luck and hope you both can fight and resist the temptation. It's hard, but we can do it if we try hard enough and really want to quit bad enough! :D

Will power everytime you crave think of all the good things your achive and why your stopping in the first place. After the first two weeks your feel so much better, just do your best to stay away from smokers. cold turkey its hard but it can be done.
good luck

good for you for giving up! i've heard that chewing gum helps because it keeps your mouth busy. also, will power is the key to stopping any addiction. whenever you crave a cigarette, think of how much progress you've made and what you'll be wasting and losing if you smoke that cigarette. good luck.

Drink a lot of water. The first three days are hard, but it gets easier. Just remember you should not even have one. I quit almost 6 years ago. Good luck

Chew Cinnamon gum and brush your teeth with Cinnamon toothpaste. I have heard that Cinnamon reduces cravings.
