how to Quit?

Question

how to quit smoking????? :)
im smokng for the last 15 years.....:( one pack a day!!! or even more sometimes depending on how i am stressed!!!....

Answer 1

I have been smoking 2 packs a day for about 30 yrs. I started taking Chantix about 2 months ago and now I am down to about 2 cigs a day. Hope to be completely stopped by the new year. You will have to get it through your doctor but it has really helped me. I have tried everything there is and this is the only thing that has come close. Good luck to you!!

Answer 2

I was in the same situation as you, smoked for over 10 years a pack or two-a-day.
The best method is to keep trying. Even if you fall back and have a smoke or two just quit again. Eventually you will make it two days or three days and then the gnawing pain goes away.
Maybe you will fail again, but keep trying, feel the pain again and then maybe a week or two will go by. Just keep plugging away. I have now quit smoking for nearly two years. I still feel urges (especially when drinking, avoid booze at all costs for a few weeks after quitting by the way), but am able to deny them.
Good Luck, life is much better when not chained down by hideous chemicals.

Answer 3

I have been smoking for over 20 years, and I was able to quit with Chantix. (It can be prescribed by a doctor). It's still not easy, and you have to just work through the pangs of wanting one, but it does make it a lot easier. You actually start taking the medicine and continue to smoke for a week (and the dose increases). The medicine works by blocking the nicotine from reaching the "receptors" in your brain that bring you pleasure from the nicotine. So, a drag off a cigarette does nothing for you. It really works. Give it a try.

Answer 4

Every single person that has smoked in my family has quit, except for one. The only time they had success is when they quit cold turkey.

Whenever they got an urge to smoke, they sipped a glass of ice water, and then did some form of exercise. The endorphins took the place of nicotine, and the water replaced the oral addiction.

In addition, they took the money that they used to spend on cigarettes and put it in a jar. At the end of the month, they splurged on something special for themselves for a job well done.

None of them have gone back to smoking!

Answer 5

It is hard to do, but if you are mentally prepared to endure the suffering then you can succeed.
Give yourself 6 months and be prepared to struggle, be in a nasty mood all the time, crave a cigarette at least 20 times a day. Accept that this is what lays ahead of you and decide to go through despite of it. Renew this resolution and mental attitude every morning before you get out of bed.
If you survive 6 months, there is nothing you would not be able to do :) The world is yours for taking.

Answer 6

I quit 13 years ago and this is how I did it. Cold turkey, no patches, no medicine. I threw away all cigarettes and stopped being around smokers. I also chewed a lot of gum. Don't get discouraged. The more often you try to quit, the more likely you will be successful. That's what the research says, and it was true for me. I failed many times before I succeede. It was one of the best things I ever did for myself and my family. Keep trying. You will do it!

Answer 8

I am using Committ Losenges (Spelling may be off) These seem to work. I am like you I smoke a pack a day but more when I get stressed out.

Answer 9

i smoked for 12 years, at least a pack a day, and i quit cold-turkey almost a year ago. it sounds silly, but the book "the easy way to stop smoking" by allen carr really helped me. that and sunflower seeds...for the 1st month i went through 2 bags a day!

Answer 10

It's very easy to quit,Mark Twain has quited for thousand times,the real problem it's to quite and never starting to smoke ever again,because the smokers make an organically addiction,the brain get used with the substances that the smokers inhale,you have to find a substitute for a while consulting your personal physician,and you have to do it gradually,but if you have to do it,you have to kill the smoking before it could kill the smoker.
