How do you quit smoking?

Did we realize, for addicted person, even just read this topic will make them want to smoke right now. What we call this feeling? It is sensation :) i think. For me, if i wanna quit doing something, i'll just do it. Just be strong :)

I got few friends who tried to quit smoking and they use nicotine gums... But eventually I think it only work for a couple of weeks because I haven't seen any of them who quit permanently... they just tried... but couldn't resist.

Well i think there are actually specialist centre in my country that helps people to quit smoking yea .. since they are specialist , prehaps seek help from them yea

I have never been a smoker, but what I do understand is that you have to have will power, there are many additional things that can be tried from nicotine patches and gum, to hypnosis and accupuncture, it's probably that combined with the willpower and desire to stop smoking that all of these would compliment each other. I don't think for a moment that it is an easy thing to do, but I do think it is possible.

I was what you will call a chain smoker once. I have thought nothing would ever make me stop smoking, not even cancer if I somehow get it. I was an addict, and not worried about it. Then, my girlfriend said one day, "....I would really to give my life to you, but I am not sure because, I value my life and will it be worth to give it to a person who don't even value his?..." I stopped smoking that day. I believe an encouragement from the loved one would be a real great help. Well, that and cartons of chewing gum :) However, not only encouragement to stop but support to go through the withdrawal phase is of ultimate importance. I was cranky for weeks. The slightest of thing will make me angry, depressed. My GirlFriend, Mom and colleagues suffered through it. I was an addict then, am an ex-smoker now. Sometimes the craving comes. but the frequency is getting lesser and lesser. All you have to do is take one day at a time. Sit still when the craving comes, it will go away. I know somewhere in the future, rather than identifying me as an ex-smoker, I will be able to tell people that I am a non-smoker:)
