After 20 years of smoking and several years trying to quit I did so 3 years ago using the EasyStop method. Since then I have been helping others to do the same. Go to www.easystop.com and complete the online survey or call for a chat to find out how this could help you too.
Have a great day!

There are a lot of great, FREE resources out there for people trying to quit smoking. Many of these services will connect you directly with trained professionals that will provide you with valuable information about quitting the habit. Some will even tell you how to get FREE or discounted treatments, such as gums, patches, et cetera.
I suggest checking out the North American QuitLine Consortium (located at www.NAQuiteLine.org) and selecting your region on the map. Here they will give you hours of operation of more localised services. Also check out the National Cancer Institute's QuitNow program, through the National Network of Tobacco Cessation Quitlines by calling 1(800)QUIT-NOW (1800-784-8669) to speak with cessation specialists.
Other Resources:
American Cancer Society (ACS) - 1-800-ACS-2345
American Lung Association - 1-800-LUNG-USA
American Legacy Foundation's Great Start - 1-866-66-START

It realy doesnt take any effort to not do something, every time you reach for a smoke it takes an effort to do it, I think this is a great thing and my miricle idea is so simple and yet so perfect,what do you do to stop or delay just about anything you dont realy want to do, I will tell ya. You put it off, you say I will do that later or just wait a minute I have to do this first, or ect. ect. get it. I started doing this last week and have gone from 2 paks a day to 1 all ya have to do is put it off for a second and try to think of something you want to do or like I want to smoke after I take a drink of water or realy anything you have to conform it to your own style but Im tellin ya it works like a charm.

you are probilby not a depressed person, but from my experience here is tis.
i have been taking this anti-depressent, associated with zyban, a qit smoking aid. its called wellbutrin, now what i does is control the cravings of nicottine, decreasing withdrawl effects.and not nessearly quitting all at once, you just naturally wean yourself down and eventrually just forget about smoking all together also, wellibutrin (sdz-bupropion sr) works in two ways.
for depression it helps restore the balance of natural chemicals
(neurotransmitters) in your brain, it can improve your mood. and a stop smoking agent which is bupropion.
now you take one pill twice daily, 8 hours appart, but thats for 150 milligrams. for higher doeses at least 3 times one pill a day, within 6 hours appart.
now the scary side effect much like zyban its self, if taking to close or to many it will increase your risk of having a seizure.
talk to your doctor, because there are other ways to use this medication.
i dont know, you asked for info on quitting smoking, and im sharing with you what help me quit smoking, and balance my moods.
its also used for women while on there periods, due to pms.
i hope you find a solution to help you reach your goal
from canada........ good luck hun

hey dude look ignore all those expensive drugs you see on tv cuz they only milk the money out ya.if you buy them youll still have the temptation and urge to still smoke all at the back of ur mind. hey take it from me if you really want to quit you gotta look into urself and think of where you wanna be say ten years from now at ur own funeral or out in the world spending time with friends and family? look you cant get both is one or the other. only you can save urself not medicine or counselling. so go look in the mirror and decide wat you want with ur life. no one cant live it for you. so why not live it the right way? think of it you have nothing to lose but everything to gain. i hope you stop and seriously think of these things. i wish you all the best....

Try it all again, and keep educating yourself about the hazards. Quitting's like learning to ride a bicycle: eventually, you get it. Always purchase only one pack at a time, with whatever the sincerity of intention to end it after that one. Combined with 30 minutes a day on a treadmill, you'll one day be loving having put all that nastiness behind you.

Sorry it is a difficult problem and I note a very common question on Yahoo answers. A combination of nicotine replacement attendance at a smoking cessation clinic and sheer grit and determination is all I can suggest

you need to find the motivation to do it otherwise i don't think anything will work. if nothing is motivating you enough at the moment could you have a bet with someone (don't get addicted to gambling instead though!) to drive you on?
it could be working out how much money you'll save then doing something with it - but it's got to be something you REALLY want and can't have otherwise.
it's a really horrible thing to do but it DOES get easier (doesn't seem to go away though) and it's one of the best things you can do for your health.
good luck x
