Answer 1

The shortest and least stressful way to quit is without drugs or nicotine replacements which prolong the process. Then the day you start your quitting process, just do it, no trying... do it, and keep doing it. Always remember to focus on the benefits of quitting rather than what you think you are missing.

It helps to have some powerful guidance, and this website: http://www.quitguide.com overdelivers. It is packed with information, and it has fast and effective ways to put in a new non-smoking program or habit into your brain. The physical addiction to nicotine is gone in 2-3 days, so the rest is habitual, and psychological. There's lots of tips, info and free help plus a great guaranteed course you can do to make the whole process easier on yourself.

Briefly, you need a friend or friends to support you and be there when you need them, you need to replace your smoking habit with good habits and some exercise that give you the same good feelings (endorphins) in your brain, and it's very important for you eat and sleep well.

Kidnap them, keep them in a room without a ciggy... get arrested..... The saying is you can lead a horse to water, but you can not make it drink! As for determination, a member of staff at the 'Burns unit' said that even though the patient was badly burnt and could not hold the ciggy. They used a plastic fork with a few middle prongs taken out to hold the damn thing! The fork was taped to the person's dressing! and some still say they can give up any time they want. HA HA HA HA NO! I do not think so. I still recon the kidnap...

The medication that most of the Pre Op patients are using is called Chantix. I say Pre Op because I belong to websit where all of us are back pain sufferers and some have had surgeries and some are Pre Op and some are Post Op, the Pre OP and Post Op that were smokers have had to quit in order to have successful fusion surgeries and some of tried various methods with various success. I used the lozenges that worked for me but I still crave but not as bad any longer and it's been 2 1/2 mos. but with the Chantix while your using it your not putting any nicotine in your system and you don't have the cravings, I wish I knew about this beforehand! It's only by prescription and this is why some of my friends on the board use it because they have a short period of time to quit before their surgery date. Good luck to you!
