any idea to avoid smoking by people?

I'm a smoker too, and while I can afford it, I could put the money I spend on cigs to something way more important.. like a savings plan, like paying off my credit cards, etc.. It would be like an extra $180 a month! I don't really know what's stopping me except for my plain ole' addiction to nicotene and the headaches and attitude problems I get without 'em.

well, i heard from a friend of mine what her mother did to her brother to stopped him smoked and yes it is very effective. but it like a bad idea not just bad also dirty.

chewing gums, eat loads and loads of chewing gum keep chewing on anything to avoid that craving, chew until you are craving for food or more gums :p

First of all, yes I am a smoker. This is my smoker's story :) I used to smoke 1 pack a day or one and a half day. Then I decided to stop. Little did I know it was tough! I tried 6 times and failed every single time. Lastly I decided to try the slow way making it a long term goal. Every 2-3 weeks once I will reduce by one stick. It took me some time (8-9 months to totally complete to 0 sticks). The last one was tough but I told myself that since I came the long way, I ain't going to stop. Therefore, I tried and tried hard, keeping myself occupied whenever I want to smoke. I successfully stop for 1 whole year. Now, I smoke for fun. I am not more addicted to it as I know I have broke the chain. Without or without smoking is fine for me now. Quote from my best friend: To stop smoking is in your mind. No use to buy those gums or patches as your mind control you! However, just remember that you have to be 100% committed to stop if not you will be like me, wasting 6 times in trying. Get 100% motivation to stop and you will succeed. It is a tough job but, nothing is impossible. Hope this helps :)

I read the newspaper yesterday and saw a news about people being charged for smoking in the public places. The number of people was 17 and the money collected by the police was INR 25000, a huge amount here. I think it is going to make people stop from smoking, at least in public places. I think you should go to the police station and ask them to charge the people who smoke in the area. I know it is difficult to do when you are a smoker too.

i'm not a smoker myself so i can't really relate to quitting smoking personally, but i've encountered a number of individuals who successfully quit smoking. some of their techniques are gradually decreasing the number of sticks everyday, exercise a lot, find new hobbies, get a girlfriend who will stop you or get angry at you when you smoke. things like that. hope that helps

Hi dear, No use. If the government increase the pride to 10 times more also, they will smoke. Because, they are not going to change. Luckily we have some people around so that the government would get more money. There is a saying that 'Sir, you can slap ma as much, but you may get fed up, but I am not going to change my habit. Here also the same thing. Any one can say, do anything you want. I am not going to change my nature. If this is the situation, who cares. They will smoke again and again, we, the shameless will keep saying. So better to close our yes. This is the best medicine for such epidemics. Thank-s
