Glad you're thinking of quiting. Psych yourself up for the challenge, wear a nicotine patch, chew gum, eat peanuts.
Buy one of those stress, squeeze balls to keep your hands busy. Go into a hospital, find the section where emphysema patients, on ventilators, are treated. It will give you a really good incentive to quit. I haven't heard of Chantix that so many people mention on this site. When my husband quit 8 yrs. ago maybe that med wasn't out yet. Wish you well.

If you can do it the best way is cold turkey.

That's how I quit back in 1971--but I was determined to quit and was not about to give up. I did backslide a couple of times but immediately resolved I was still going to be smoke-free.

Not everyone can do that. You might need some sort of aid to help quit and you might need a support group. The key to quitting is truly wanting to quit.

If you need help in quitting what you should do is determine how much help you need and who can best give you that help.

It can be done. Lots of us have done it. Believe in yourself and don't give up. If you find yourself wanting to smoke try to substitute something and, if you backslide, try again as soon as you can.

There are numerous ways to quit smoking available today, but how can you find the best one?Now I will show you some common ways to quit Smoking:

1 One way to stop smoking is through Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). While this is not the best effective way to stop smoking and this is for short time use, about 20-40% of smokers find success on this method. This therapy includes wearing patches, chewing nicotine-containing gums and nicotine nasal spray or inhaler. This method reduced the physical symptoms of withdrawal from smoking like irritability and tiredness.

2 Cold turkey is another way to stop smoking. This is the most popular method though not the best effective way to stop smoking. This contributes to only 5% of success per try. Cold turkey means to stop smoking immediately and without preparation. Smokers have to try this over and over again to succeed.

3 The Gum is good for many smokers because it gives you something to do with your mouth while kicking the smoking habit. With most nicotine gum, you chew the gum a few times and store it between the lip/cheek and gum. The nicotine is then released through your gums and cheek. This is a great way to quit smoking because you satisfy the chemical and some of the mental dependency of smoking.

Don't go on details. Just quit it right now and see the difference after some days. You will feel much better then you are feeling now.

quitting is done by regulating the amount or number of packs or cigarettes u take each day for example youre smoking 7 sticks, try to limit it to 3 until your ready to get rid of those sticks.
im telling u these for you to avoid withdrawal syndrome....... and of course PRAY ask God for help...
for you to quit smoking easily... that's it....smile
