Quitting Smoking?

To quit smoking you have to be have a strong mindset. At first try to reduce the frequency of intake, say a maximum of daily five. Then leave it altogether. And whenever your mind wants to have one, take something else, like nuts or biscuits or anything you love to eat. It works fine.

I'm not a smoker, so it's probably a hundred times harder than I imagine to quit. All I can say is that everytime you have the urge to smoke; don't.

I have not tried to quit, but god knows I need to. I will watch this discussion and get some ideas. Thanks for starting it.

A friend of mine used to be addicted to smoking, but he just stopped it without doing anything. He told me he just had a determination to quit. Maybe you need a strong motivation to quit smoking dear. Good luck.

Everyboby said that quit smoking is more than difficult than quit drinking alchohol. I suggest that if you really interesting to quit smoking: 1. Try to eat some menthol candy while you are willing to smoke. 2. Do some activity so that there is no time for relax with smoking. 3. Think for your family that you love them. If you have a child, and you smoke infront of them. They will be a pasif smoker that will get some problem with their health. So If you care for with your family and your health, " STOP SMOKING"

Whether you can quit or not depends at what age you picked up the habit.If it is early teens then it is very very difficult. If you started after 20 then it is comparatively easy. See I am 67, I had my first smoke when I was 12. My father was also a smoker, so smoky atmosphere is some thing I got used to, and relished from birth. I did quit quite a few times, the longest was for about an year. After a lot of reading and thought about the habit I concluded that it is more important get rid of the guilt feeling and accept what I am. By this, I am not supporting smoking but from my research on my self, I can say cold turkey has detrimental effects on the body metabolism and on one's psyche. But by all means cut down on smoking. preferably to below ten a day.

chew a chewing gum when ever you feel like smoking ..if atall you cant control this way go for a phycologist

Cold turkey. That is what it takes and another habit (good one) to replace the one you have now. You may want to chew gum and keep your hand busy. Hope this helps. Oh by the way the nic patches just don't work and cost a lot of money.
