how is the best way to stop smoking?

Answer 1

You have to find the best way to work for you. Some people can go cold turkey but most can't. I would cut back and start to find other ways to spend your time and keep your mind busy. Cause if you don't think about smoking it will be easier to quit

Answer 2

The way it worked for me. I only had one cigarette at 3AM, I had 2 more hours work to do, and the store did not open for another hr. I told my self I would want one after work more than now. Make a long couple of weeks, short. every time I wanted a smoke, I would say I am going to wait 3 minutes before I lite up. Some times during that 3 minutes I would take a cigarette and smell of it. I carried my lighter, and cigarettes for a year and 2 months. When they got so dry I would throw that package away and go buy another one. Carried them for my friends that did not the will to quit.
I had been smoking for 30 plus years, and was lighting 4 packs a day the night I decided to quit. A few times I forgot and got the cigarette in my mouth, and had my lighter lit, before I remembered I had quit. Never did get one lit.

I told every one, I have not quit, I am just not smoking right now. That is the way I still am. I haven`t had one since April 1976. But I may have one tomorrow.
