How do i quit smoking? I've smoked for many years an tried many things and nothing works.?

Answer 1

write down the reasons why you want to quit, and keep them handy for next time before you want to light up again. The reason we usually can´t stop smoking is because we forget the reasons why we want to quit.
That´s how I did it!

Answer 2

Natural Quit Smoking Magic

Answer 3

I quit after smoking for five years. It was a bit of a b****, but definately worth it. I picked a day to quit and didn't have another ciggarette after that. I chewed nicorette for three days then just decided to get it over with and not chew the gum.

Really, you just have to do it. Gum helps during the worst first few days, but I wouldn't chew it for too long. It prolongs the withdrawal process.

Exercise and try to wear yourself out during the day. Stay busy. This will easy because you will have lots of energy!

Make a list of the advantages of not smoking and keep this with you all the time. (Save money, won't die of lung cancer, etc) Look at it when you are feeling weak.

Avoid alcohol for as long as possible as this will make you want to smoke. Talk to other former smokers, their support will help. Good luck, you can do it!!!

Honestly, I am sure you are going to get a list of great ideas here on Yahoo. But nothing is going to change unless you want to whole-heartedly quit. Don't buy them, put on a patch, chew gum, talk to your doc.... you aren't going to change unless you want to. Similar thing happened with me and drinking... I didn't change until I truly had a wake up call and really quit cold turkey.
I think if you research everything that can go wrong to your body with smoking and really look at all the people that love and care about you, you will have that spark to want to quit. I wish you luck. I know its hard.

Answer 5

If you are truly motivated to quit I suggest asking your doctor about Chantix. It has worked wonders for many of my friends!!! You can do a web search on it and there is tons of information on it. Also, read everything you can about smoking and quitting. Make a list of the reasons you want to quit and read it daily. Enlist the support of your friends and family and keep trying to quit until it sticks. You are worth it!

I am in the process of quitting and i am using Zyban...it is a little expensive but when you add it up, it's not bad. It is an antidepperessant also which blocks the cravings totally. It been working, 3 wekks no smoking.

Answer 8

There is a GREAT new medication on the market called "Chantix". I work for a psychaitrist and he is prescribing it. The results have been incredible! Folks who sounded just like you have quit and don't miss it.

I don't know much about it, but it works a TON better than Wellbutrin/Zyprexa.

Good luck!

Just keep track of how much you spend on cigarettes and whenever you have the urge to smoke flush one down the toilet. You'll see after you figure the totals.
