Has anyone tried this?

Have you considered the patches. I used the 24 hour patches for a few weeks. They stop the physical craving and allow you to break the habit. Then you slowly wean down the strengths until you are completely free. Half the battle is the willpower and breaking the habit and I think these patches give you the best chance of success. I found the lozenges to be really nasty tasting and made me gag. Do you have a stop smoking clinic you could drop in to and recieve more expert advice? They can be very good and I do believe there are even support groups now for giving up! Good luck and I hope you find a method that suits you. Also please remember if you do relapse don't beat yourself up about it. Just start again the next day... Like the saying goes... practice makes perfect!

i used to smoke and now i quit for six or five years now. its not ean easy battle but i did. i did it for my kids. i think if you are inspired enough and really ready you can stop smoking. dont eat to much so you wont have to crave to smoke. for the mean time dont go to places were you will see people who are smoking and focus. do something when you feel like you want to smoke, like doing jumping jacks, run of your desire. hope you can quit... its a good idea.

Well I am trying to quit to I have to though. The Patches do not stay on me so I am trying without anything I am cutting myself down and I am hoping that in a week I will be able to come of all together, my Stop Date is the 26/03/2007 I hope that you and your Husband do it I really do it is not easy. This is my 3rd Attempt and I do hope I will manage this time. Good Luck to you both

I have lost a lot of family members due to smoke related cancer. And there is absolutely no way I can get my family back. The byproducts of a family member lost to cancer is permanent,irreversible. I would suggest finding a picture of a diseased lung, or a picture of a person who is doomed to live there life out with one of those portable oxygen tanks...and keep it with you and post it everywhere while you are trying to quit. I think visual reminders are quite effective...Good Luck and I hope you succeed...SS

I stopped smoking about 6 weeks ago,I had been smoking for 48 years and I am now 62. I am using the inhalater as I thought I would miss having something in my hands while sitting at the computer.I can honestly say it has been so much easier than I expected as I expected real torture.I do think there is a right time or a right reason to do it at a certain time,my mother had part of her lung removed over 10 years ago but even that didn't stop me smoking.I may say my mother recovered completely and is now 87 but she had smoked for over 60 years.Good luck.

I know it may sound harsh but the best method for me was strictly "COLD TURKEY". Smoking is one of those things that the smoker themself has to be truly ready to stop. I could never quit for my wife, my kids or anyone else. As noble as it might be, ultimately you have to quit for yourself. I smoked for almost 20 years and quit for periods ranging from 2 months to 5 years on numerous occasions. Tried everything but I think cold turkey eliminates the habit from your lifestyle. If you take pills or use patches, you are still thinking about smoking all the time. Just survive the first three days and it gets easier after that. I'm not even touching on the health issues, my brother has throat cancer that they say was directly caused by smoking (No, I did'nt have that as a reason to quit, I had already quit years before he found out). Just keep trying, there is no failing here, just a lack of trying. Good Luck!

I quit about 5 years ago. I used SmokeAway.com. They are herbs and they really worked. Once I took them I lost most of my urges to smoke. You can order them right off the website. I still can't actually believe that I quit. Good luck to you. It is a very hard habit to break.

Giving up smoking is excellent decision and it is good for health and health is more than wealth. If you want to quit smoke for ever it will take few days. Whenever you smoke, instead of smoking you eat something like snacks or any eatables which are good for health lightly. You reduce smoking day by day. After few days, you will be able to quit smoking completely.

some of friends find its hard to stop smoking... so i hadnt yet tried that.

Picking a date was exactly how I quit over a year ago. And I got the idea from someone else who had quit five years prior. It seems to work! I've tried cutting back, and it never worked. I tried switching to ultra lights, and I started ripping off the filters. The only way that has worked for me has been to pick a date.
