When you decide to quit adopt a rigid policy of "no compromise." That means once you quit, you will not ever make an excuse to smoke, not a little, just a whiff or only when you drink. No compromise. You quit and that's it. Forever. Every time you think about smoking, remember this commitment. It will work, because the agreement is with yourself. Just remember, no compromise, ever.

Go to yoga classes and do some meditation. u will automatically stop smoking. Even if u want to smoke, u cannot if u do meditation regularly.

nicotine patch

Being a heavy smoker myself at present the only thing I could think that would stop me would be to stop breathing. Ha! If I was to be honest about it though I would like to believe that if one of my loved ones had cancer and/or I had it I would hope that would be enough to make me quit. Have personally tried Ziaban and all it did was give me headaches. My fiance and I joke that we can't afford to not to smoke as we only pay $10 a carton from a native reserve outside town, but sad fact is that neither of us is ready to quit yet. Everyone I've talked to that has quit said that they really wanted to quit beforehand and then went cold turkey. Best of luck to you in kicking this dirty addictive habit.

the most effective is supportive measures from a healthcare provider in conjunction with the nasal nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) spray.


I know EVERYTHING!
Set a date like 4 weeks or so from now. Take a week or two off work, starting on your quit day, if you are able. A combination of the welbutrin and the patch will work but look forward to sleepless nights. Make a schedule of things to do in your area and go do them, keep your self busy. And try to stay away from smokers for as long as you can.


I know, I know!!!!
the very best way is to quit cold turkey. I cant say much though because I am smoking a cigarette right this minute. good luck to you.

THINK OF WHAT YOUR LUNGS LOOK LIKE AND HOW CONSTRICTED YOUR ARTERIES ARE. YOU AREN'T GETTING ENOUGH OXYGEN TO YOUR LUNGS AND BRAIN. YOU ARE SLOWLY KILLING YOURSELF. HOPE THAT HELPS

After 35 years @ 2 packs a day...I went to my doctor and she put me on Wellbutrin for 10 days. At the end of that time I had absolutely NO physical craving for the nicotine. After being smoke-free for over 6 years, when I get stressed I STILL want a cigarette mentally but not physically. I just keep reminding myself how hard it was to just decide to quit, then do it and don't want to go back to it again! It REALLY does make you smell, you don't notice the odor until you've quit but it is REALLY gross!Good luck!

just a compilation of all the above: OTC ways are nicotine patches, gum, and lozenges. Prescriptions of Wellbutrin/Zyban/buproprion. Lifestyle stuff like getting a support group, setting a quit date, getting active in other events to keep you busy. another little trick my dad used is go smoke-free for a while (days/month/2months, ets), calculate the ammount of money you would have spent on cigs...................then go buy something with that money that you like (not cigs of course, and continue not smoking). my dad could now open up his own hardware store. good luck.

try asking your Dr for Wellbutrin it helps stop the craving.. also you can try a nicotine patch or get the nicorette gum. Otherwise just try cold turkey.

First, You have to really want to quit because it is really hard...next...The newest medicine..is Chantix (veryniclyn) . it was released in October it is a tablet taken daily. I teach a quit smoking class here in Tennessee. It has shown to be very effective, Smoking Cessation classes help, Nicotine pathes help, Wellbutrin also takes away some of the obsession...
I would do this...Ask your doctor about chantix and giving it a try...It is probably the most effective thing so far.... If that does not work...Patches and Wellbutrin and Nicotine gum along with Smoking Cessation classes all at the same time....You deserve to quit smoking....

hypnosis is the only thing that worked for me
but you have to want to quit and want to be hypnotized
if you don't then it won't work
the gum and the patch,and cold turkey didn't work for me
also during the hypnosis not only you can quit, but also teaches you how to not gain weight after you stop smoking
check your local ads for these seminars
it only costs $40 to $50 and it is guaranteed..if it doesn't work, you can go back and do it for free

QUIT BUYING............

Quitting smoking is a great opportunity to learn about ourselves.
Congratulate yourself on having the desire to stop - then you are over the worst, but still need to maintain your resolve. It's just so easy to start thinking that just one won't hurt, but it does. Just one achieves nothing except feeling the need for another. Whatever you do, don't have just one. Beware - alcohol will weaken your resolve.
Here's a few home-brewed tips that might be useful.
It's not just nicotine addiction - there are 50+ chemicals in cigarettes. Also the main problem is habit.
We have been used to having body sensations which we translate as 'my body needs something', which we have attempted to satisfy by having a cigarette.
When we try to stop smoking, we still get these 'my body needs something' sensations, and we still feel that we want a cigarette. We have to train our body to be more selective. When we feel we need something, we have to work out what it is that we actually need.
A glass of water is an excellent substitute if nothing else comes to mind, as it helps with the clearance of the toxic substances in our body. Another good substitute is a bag of salted peanuts, used in combination with the water.
Another thing to do is to find an activity which occupies the mind or body. Go swimming - nobody wants to smoke while they are swimming. Slowly, as our body adjusts and translates the 'want something' feelings into something other than cigarettes, then the feelings begin to go away. We know its not a cigarette that the body really needs, because as soon as we've had one we still have the feeling, and want another!
We will have a few bouts of feeling or even being short tempered. We must try to bite our lip, and control; ourselves. Recognise the short temper as being the removal of toxins which are trying to find a way out. They went in through the mouth, and they try to get out that way to. We must learn to keep our mouth closed, and force the toxins out the other way.

After we have stopped for a while we will begin to feel that just one wont to any harm.
All that leads to is a desire for just another one. We must guard very strongly against the desire to have just one.

After years and years and many ways of trying, I always failed. Three days ago, I started taking Chantix. It's taken all the fun and joy out of smoking, makes the ciggys taste bad and I don't even want them. So, I recommend this method since I have quit. Most insurances pay for it.
