To ease out a habit, you need to take recourse to some other habit. Better start drinking.

If your talking about the Allen Carr method it does work only if you go to the session, reading the book doesnt have the same appeal. i don't know what it is but it worked for me and i have tried everything to quit, you sit in a room for a few hours while they explain the book and method, the whole time you can smoke and with 20 people smoking in a room for that long it gets really gross, when it is over you really don't want to smoke anymore, i walked out of there stinking like an ashtray but i have never lit up since. i would recommend it to anyone, the realization about why you smoke will make you laugh at yourself for years

If you want to quit smoking using natural products, you should try Liquid Catnip. Liquid Catnip has many uses, one of which is smoking cessations. Just put a couple of drops on the back of your tongue when you feel the urge to have a smoke. If after a couple of drops, you still have the urge, add a few more drops until the sensation dissipates. I have known many people to quit smoking this way. Good Luck!

I always recommend going cold turkey. That's what I did. That's what many people I know did. I've known people to use the patch or gum or whatnot. The only ones that never started back... went cold turkey. On another note, I work with a woman who swears by hypnosis.

I cut down significantly, and then just stopped. Don't give yourself the option to do it.
Each time you want a cigarette, tell yourself.."not this time". It helps you quit without thinking so much about the fact that you never will again.
Do something else with your hands and mouth.. eat sugarfree candy, or chew on sunflower seeds.
Good luck! You'll feel so much better!

I agree-- You have to have faith that you'll stop. When I decided to do quit, I put it in God's hands. Also, I knew why I was doing it-- For my family, for me and for my future children. (Two years later, God has blessed me with the pregnancy of our first child.) I bought a pack on Monday morning and I weaned myself off of them. I probably smoked the first one whole. However, every time I wanted one, I only smoked half of the cig. I also spaced out the times I went outside for a smoke, and I found something else to do with myself. (I think our apartment was a bit cleaner that week; I know I spent more time on-line as that was/is a bit more active than reading). By late Friday night (it might have been Satuday morning, but I'm sure if was Friday, well either very late Friday evening, or after midnight on Saturday morning), I smoked my last bit. Yeah, I think it was overnight as I remember feeling lost after my coffee with out going for a smoke.
Even after you quit, there will be hurdles. A month or so after I quit, my husband and I went on a drinking binge at home. It's not something we did often, but on occasion. It was our cheap entertainment-- Beer and either hanging out flipping channels or a cheesy movie in the player.Anyway, I remember after feeling good and buzzed I poked through my coat pockets, bags, etc., for anything-- A long butt, a broken one, a stale one, etc.
A couple of months later, I was in a bum mood and started to poke through my car for a stray one or two that might have rolled under the seat or something. Nope.
In June, my husband and I took his younger sister to NYC for her high school graduation present. Between the stress of traveling and just having to deal with her (she's not always the easiset person), I was thisclose to buying a pack. I honestly think that the only thing that stopped me, (besides a mental slap upside the head from God and myself) was the $5 a pack for the cheap cigs. YIKES. (I still paid just under two dollars for my last pack.)
People look at me now, fairly healthy as I'm a vegan and mostly stick to whole foods (well, I still do things like buy regular ketchup with high fructose corn syrup, but I don't use it often) and they can't believe I'm an ex-smoker.
I hope this helps.

Look at how much they cost! That's why I quit, I'm tired of being poor, and if I hadn't I wouldn't be able to afford gas for the car!

find a way that you really really believe in. i swear, it doesn't matter if it actually works or not but you have to believe in it. let psychosis take its course.
buy nicotine patches if you will.
