i stopped smoking 5 weeks ago i used zyban however i still want a cig how long will this last?????

Answer 1

it takes time but you must be prode of yourself to stop smoking as you have had a good decision.
if you still want it? i think this will be beeter to do:
• Change your morning routine. When you eat breakfast, don't sit in the same place at the kitchen table. Stay busy.
• When you get an urge to smoke, do something else instead. Carry other things to put in your mouth, such as chewing gum, hard candy, or a toothpick.
• Reward yourself at the end of the day for not smoking. See a movie or go out and enjoy your favourite meal.
• Don’t associate with people that smoke.
• If you are offered a cigarette: get into the habit of saying “no thank you” I don’t smoke.

Try to exercise; take walks or ride a bike
Consider the positive things about quitting, such as how much you like yourself as a non-smoker, think about the health benefits for you and your family, and the example you set for others around you. A positive attitude will help you through the tough times.
When you feel tense, try to keep busy, think about ways to solve the problem, tell yourself that smoking won't make it any better, and do something else.
Eat regular meals. Feeling hungry is sometimes mistaken for the desire to smoke.
Start a money jar with the money you save by not buying cigarettes.
If you relapse and smoke, don't be discouraged. Many former smokers tried to stop several times before they finally succeeded.
good luck

Answer 2

I stopped Smoking 18 months ago and could still go a cig. Not so much a craving just I still miss it. The cravings will go away so stick to it, the want for a ciggie wont, but the need for a cig will. Good luck

Answer 3

it will last for as long as you are thingking about it. I used zyban, and with the combination of cinnamon chewing gum, and a heavy dose of family support, i crave no more. Hand in there, good luck, but you can kick that habit!

Answer 4

I am afraid that smokers who are not smoking, have a lot in common with alcoholics who are not drinking. They are not the same as never smokers and are always more likely to restart smoking than never smokers are to take it up.

Statistically after about 2 years off cigarettes the chances are good that you will stay off for good.

Answer 5

After 5 weeks I stopped thinking about it all the time, and after 22 years I never think of it at all. Stay with it darling, you've done so well up till now, it really REALLY does get easier the longer you go.

Answer 6

I stopped over 25 yrs ago. There are still times when I could murder for one, but I know if I give in that will be it I'll start again! DON'T give in and good luck

Answer 7

I stopped 7 months ago without using anything (apart from being pregnant!) and I still crave, it just gets less severe. Keep at it, it's hard but possible.

Answer 8

I used the brain.
I told it that we don't smoke anymore.
It complied in fine fashion.
But now it tells me that I can spot a smoke a mile off.
No need for aids to quit, it is all in the mind.

Answer 9

It varies but like an alcoholic you can only take it one day at a time. It gets easier but in moments of weakness in situations where you would have a cigarette it is so so easy to start again.
Best of luck take it one day at a time.

Answer 10

The "urge" for a ciggie does wear off, and when it does, you will think why on earth did i ever start. I can assure you that you will feel so much better (and Richer). This advice comes from a heavy ex- smoker. DON'T GIVE IN!!!!!!!
