Answer 1

Do yoga of shri ramdevji or Art of living of shri Ravishankar

Answer 2

So quit! I went from almost two packs a day to zip! It takes will power and you might want to have tic tacs or life savers or something to put in your mouth when you want a smoke.

Keep busy! This is very important. Keeping busy and the mind occupied will allow you to help handle the cravings. I just worked seven days a week and kept busy even after work. it did work. Yes the candies are going to cost, but less than smokes (well around here anyways).

It will be hard at times and avoid the bars or where people are smoking for a little while at first. Temptation can be very hard to overcome. But you do need the woillpower to do otherwise it's not going to work out.

Many go for the patch or nicorette gum or some other aid and for some it helps as it reduces the cravings. Try and see, but force yourself to not light up.

good luck.

Answer 3

Natural Quit Smoking Magic

Answer 4

I know people hate when someone suggests that they take medication as a first resort, but I have heard very good things about Chantix if you are truly addicted to nicotine. I am a part-time smoker myself (I will smoke when out, but not in my home, etc.) However, when I went to the doctor to get medication, he told me that social smoking wouldn't be helped by medication, and I just need to avoid places that I would do it for at least two weeks (and better if longer) such as bars or my brother's house (where he and his wife smoke).

It's hard. I quite once in law school for several years, and you never stop wanting them, but it gets easier to not have them over time.

Good luck!

Answer 5

I went for laser treatment over 2 1/2 years ago and am still off them. I really wanted to stop and have never looked back. Saved a fortune and done loads with the cash. Try the link:

EDIT: Just been reading some of the other replies. Smoking is an ADDICTION and it is NOT that easy to quit. How many of you with the "get some guts" theme are/were smokers? Try telling that to a heroin addict - and apparently nicotine is a worse addiction than THAT!

Answer 6

why does she want you to quit smoking>? because of the smell, your health, the cost? If its the smell camel makes cigarettes that are ash less and don't really have the smell. If its not that your going to need a lot off baby carrots to have some thing in your mouth. there are patches, gums, even medication that will reduce your want to smoke. Be very careful when you stop to watch you weight , you will eat more do to make up for the smoking hints the baby carrots and or gum.

Answer 7

educate yourself. understand that you will always have the temptation to smoke. you can't beat them so to speak. i recommend welbutrin to help with the start of the quiting process. you like to smoke but remember all the consequences if you do. know that the average person tries to quit a billion times before being successful. dont be hard on yourself if you fail. after three days it is 100% mental and the hardest part. use gum, candy and always recognize hand to mouth habits and the situation you are in. know why you smoke, hot boxing and long drags are different reasons for the moment. sugar rushes and caffiene, i believe, can help with those moments. so join a gym too.

Answer 8

Wow, talk about pressure!

Start NOW by throwing your cigarettes in the garbage.

Keep a jar by the door. Every time you get an urge to go buy a pack of cigarettes, instead put the money in that jar.

Start keeping a pack of gum with you so you'll have something to put in your mouth.

Take up a hobby or perhaps a gym membership to keep your mind busy.

Start cleaning the house, top to bottom. You'll need to get the smell and tar out- and believe me, it is strong.

I used to clean house for people who were heavy smokers. Sometimes I would have to clean their windows three and four times before my cleaning rag would stop coming away brown.

A lot of people don't like to think about that- but that's what a smoker is deliberately pulling into their lungs.

Good luck!

Answer 9

Get a big bag of carrots (baby are best) and some cellery (with PB is good). Eat them every time you feel like a cigarette. That will help with the oral component.
As for the rest, drink lots of tea and water, take an asparin to help with headache (or Ibuprofin), exercise and do things to keep you busy for the first two weeks.
Then it will be over, your girlfreind you love won't leave you, and you won't die an early death in a hospital, getting your lungs cut out, getting chemo and radiation and choking on blood clots and pieces of your lungs you are couphing up when you are 40!!!!
(PS: Every time you feel like a cigarette she has to give you a *******, that's the rule).

Answer 10

I quite smoking 8 years ago. Trust me get a new girlfiend it will be 100 times easier.
On a serious note thou their are no short cuts its all will power. Just focus on the positive good rather on ,this is my last cigererte.. Try an not to get to hammered as that will get you started again every time.
Good luck. because it is difficult but not impossible.

Answer 11

nicitine gums, the patch, and they even developed a perscription pill but most important prepare your brain and stick to it. The nicitine withdrawels will disappear faster than the thought or habit of behavior. Replace smoking with staying active when you get a craving. But talk to your Dr. about what product would work best for you, GOOD LUCK !!!! And GOOD FOR YOU!!!! Do it for yourself, not just your girlfriend. The benefits will last a lifetime!!!!!!
