Cigarette Smoking: I'm trying to quit, but can't! Can you help me?

Question

I just ordered that Smoke Away herbal supplement stuff and it worked for me before. It may be nothing; it may be nothing more than a Placebo, but I quit for a year after using it. Then like an idiot I started smoking again last month and am up to 2-3 packs a day. I am a terrible chain smoker and don't feel comfortable unless I have a cigarette in hand.

Personally, I think that cigarettes should be illegal.

Answer 1

Hey, I just quit after smoking 3 packs a day for 40yrs., just woke up one morning and said to myself, self that's enough of that siht, and haven't had one in over six weeks. It may not seem a long time to some folks, but anyone who's ever tried to quit a bad habit knows it ain't easy, gotta take it one day at a time...Good luck and hope ya make it...

Answer 2

my dad just quit after 50 years of smoking 60 a day,he used nicotine replacement gum and swears by it,give it a try.i don't think the illegal thing should happen though just because you dont smoke any more,and just to let you know theres nothing as bad as a reformed smoker lecturing smokers,its great if thats what you want to do but some people want to continue smoking no matter what

Answer 3

Quit cold turkey. Then go to the doctor and tell him you need proczak to make it through the tough time of not smoking. Write yourself a note everyday about not smoking. Go online and look at pictures of diseased lungs and people. That's what I did and I haven't smoked for 12 years. I couldn't sleep at first and the doctor gave me the proczak to regulate my sleep patterns for 6 months and it worked. i used to get up to smoke in the night. And when I quit I still woke up. But Proczak is an anti-depressent and it did take the edge off withdrawall too. Good luck and stick with it. They should be illegal.

Part of the addiction is the fixation of having a cigarette in your hand or mouth. Try using a toothpick to hold and chew on instead of a cigarette.

I quit in one second when my 1yr old son saw me smoking and I could see i his eyes he was curious. That was 2 years ago. I smoke occasionally at a bar.
