how i can stop smoking ???

Answer 1

well, I suggest showing them what smoking really does to you over the years. Also, maybe tell them to join one of those smokers anonymous things to quit, or maybe say pretend to start smoking one day (put a cigar in your mouth), and tell them either you'll start doing it since your parents do it, or you are doing it because your parents are doing it. Any of that help?

well sadistwitch and Autumn, I don't agree with you. Do you know how bad smoking is for you?


Cigarette smoking, and even smoking cigars or a pipe, is one of the greatest risk factors for a heart attack as well as for stroke, lung cancer, and emphysema.

To stop smoking:

Set a quit date. Smoking cessation is most successful when it's done "cold turkey," not slowly by reducing the number of cigarettes smoked daily.

Throw them out. Throw away all cigarettes and matches at home, in your car, and at work. Put away ash trays and lighters.

Share your goal. Tell your family and friends you're quitting and ask for their support.

Avoid triggers. Avoid alcohol, coffee, and other triggers for smoking.

Set a no-smoking policy. Do not allow anyone to smoke in your home or car, and avoid other people when they are smoking.

Get tools. Take advantage of the available stop-smoking aids: nicotine replacements, drug therapy, and counseling. Less than 1 in 10 smokers can quit without some help. Nicotine gums, skin patches, and lozenges are available over the counter. Nicotine nasal sprays and inhalers require a prescription from your doctor. Don't smoke when using these products.

Get a prescription. Bupropion (Zyban) and varenicline (Chantix) are two prescription-only medications that may help you quit. Start taking one of these drugs shortly before your quit date.

Join a support group. Find a source of individual or group counseling. Counseling alone can be helpful, but it is particularly useful in combination with nicotine replacements or smoking cessation drugs.

Call the Quit Line. Call the National Cancer Institute Smoking Quit Line if you need more help. Their toll-free number is 1-877-44U-QUIT.
Though these measures and help aids considerably boost the chances of quitting, there's a more than 50 percent chance that a smoker who quits will start again. I hope this doesn't happen to you, but if it does, don't give up. Announce another quit date and start stopping again.

Answer 2

Natural Quit Smoking Magic

Answer 3

If you have pain in your chest when you smoke that is very helpful in keeping you on track. You may not have that pain, but keep thinking about the pain you do suffer, the coughing in the morning, or whatever. In other words, when you think about cigarettes think about the negative. I did quit cold turkey, but that was the only choice back then. One trick I found very helpful was to make a habit of not buying or carrying cigarettes, and if somehow I did get some throwing them away. (this works with liquor too). Obviously, you need to not be bumming cigarettes either. Think about how cheap and foolish you are to do that. The thing about not buying cigarettes is that the buying is at least a little painful so that is a good place to intervene if you start back up again. Likewise if you have started again and feel disgusted that is a good time to throw them in the stove (I have a wood stove) and then if you want more you would have to buy them. You just set up a steady negative wind... Good luck! You'll be feeling a lot better in just a few months.

Answer 4

The clue is in the question - just *stop smoking*. Really, as a 20 a dayer for 15 years I just stopped13 weeks ago. I won't lie - at times it was hard. The hardest part is getting out of the habit. Ride out the cravings (which only last 5 minutes at a time) and just think N.O.P.E. (not one puff ever).

Honestly - it isn't rocket science. Just stop lighting up.

Answer 5

Try an online support group. They not only have good advice on what works and doesn't work but they can also help keep you on track.

You also need support from family and friends. Ie. Don't quit around smoker buddies. They'll not understand and won't care if you take up again.

Answer 6

Make up your mind and just do it.
My brother was a several packs-a-day smoker for more than 40 years. After his wife died, he re-married. His new wife told him, you either smoke or you eat. He chose to eat and hasn't smoked since.

Answer 7

Suck on suckers or chew on straws. That worked for my friends, they had to have something in there mouth, just something close to the action of smoking a cig.

Answer 8
