Answer 2

Hi, you should try Zyban, you get it on prescription from your doctor. You take the pills for about 11 days then stop smoking. You have to stay on them for a little while after that.They stop the cravings and all you have to do is get over the habit. I've used it a few times and it's always worked unfortunately I have started up again, though that was not related to stopping the pills as I was a non smoker for 3 years at one point. Provided you do not have any medical reasons not to take it, I would strongly recommend it to anyone as nothing else I have tried has worked. Good luck x

Answer 3

The best way to stop smoking is to do something else when you think about smoking. Example: Sitting with some buddies and you think about have a smoke, drink some water or have a snack to keep your mind off of smoking. I hope this works for you.

Answer 4

I tried the Allen Carr book "the easy way to stop smoking"
It worked for me because it focuses on the psychological addiction rather than the physical . It made me think about smoking in a completely new light and when I gave up I didn`t feel like i was depriving myself of anything, I just began to look at smokers as the "pathetic, miserable "(Carr`s words) addicts that they are !! 11 years ago and never looked back

Answer 5

I went to a smoking cessation clinic and started using a nicotine inhalator which helped on my first few days, then i started using patches, i have been smoke free for 8 days and feel really good in myself for not smoking give it a go, after smoking 20 plus for the last 18 years

Answer 6

You will get alot of one line answers here but the truth is smoking is an addiction. They make billions of dollars selling gum, patches, etc., to help stop smoking, but they don't always work. I suggest with all addictions, get help. Find a doctor or treatments to help you get better fast. Have a friend or spouse help you through this. Stop buying cigaretts, keep your mind busy, go to a health club, take up jogging.

Answer 7

Stick the stop smoking patches over your eyes , then you won't find your fags.
No, seriously, i gave up 4 months ago with the help of nicotine gum, i started with the 4mg for six weeks, then the 2mg for the next 6 weeks. They help with the cravings and you can chew up to twelve a day. You can these free on the NHS, but it has to be done through your doctor. Go and enquire about, you have nothing to lose.

Answer 8

Increase caffeine consumption, smash coffee mugs where they won't break anything, eat lots of snacks you like, drink lots of water, sleep a lot, dancing and/or other creative expression, willpower, don't buy any, put away all your lighters, matches, and ashtrays, if you have quit for a time and you get a craving it can help to smoke herbs out of your kitchen cabinet. Just for that feeling of smoking.

Answer 9

My experience is this: Just stop. When you make the choice to do so, you need to be willing to endure a week of misery. Then you need to be willing to endure three months of changing habit, after that you need to enjoy the fresh air when tempted. That's the trick. For me anyway. :-) I've stopped on januari 1st 2007 and havent wanted to start again after making the choice. I smoked for 17 years.
