Quitting smoking.. Any advice?

Electronic cigarettes helped me, if you can afford them.

Buy a packet of the worst tasting most sickening disgusting ciggies you can find...and when you feel like a smoke..the taste will turn you off.

Soon enough..a day or so..and the mere thought of having a smoke will turn your stomach.

Thanks... have tried that and I just went back to real cigs the first drink I had. I am hoping to have a few weeks under my belt before my birthday so I can have a drink or two without blowing it again...

Use isochronic tones......they make them for use with meditation. They have them specifically to help with breaking addictions.......

Google it. I've done experiments on myself where I would start to crave the smokes and would put the headphones on for just a few moments...the craving would be gone. I was able to put off smoking for hours at a time this way.....

Good luck.

cold turkey's tough, stay away from people and do what you gotta do. sleep whenever, eat what you want, just get through a week and you'll be OK. take deep breaths when the urge hits.

everytime you want to smoke, you delay it as long as you can. From 1 to 2 minutes to 3to4 hours.

Never tell yourself that you will never smoke again. once you are able to smoke only 1 or 2 a day. you will able to quit it easily.

1st three days are the worst, you won't sleep worth a shit and be pissy, but it's all good...it does get better. And if ya fail, don't be hard on yourself. Tobacco is a very hard addiction to quit.

Marijuana.

Just don't ever smoke again.

i weened off using snus as needed. worked

This.

If you've gone this long you can tough it out. Tell yourself you used to smoke, but now you're an ex-smoker.

Best of luck!

I quit a year ago i smoked for like 405 years ( not that long ) but i used sunflower seeds lol

Get a good e-cig. The first one I tried tasted like Halloween fog. You know that smell and taste from the fog machines at haunted houses. Anyways it was several more years before I decided to give them another try.

I researched them and decided on white cloud. Best one on the market in my opinion. Then you have to find a strong flavor that gives you that strong hit and throat burn. I prefer the Kick by white cloud. It hits strong and I prefer it over a real cig any day of the week. I still have a real one from time to time but usually just end up regretting it.

I really think you should give it another go with the e-cig. My husband and I both quit and we were smoking almost 2 packs a day. White Cloud now has Flings and they are disposable ones so you can try it out before committing and buying the whole starter set. I wish you luck!

Get ready to get fat!

pop open and eat sunflower seeds. you need to replace the process of putting stuff in your mouth and they're pretty healthy.

Yes! White Cloud is the one I weened off real cigs with. I never even hit on the ecig anymore. I just keep it close by knowing I can if I want. It's veen 9 months since I quit. It was not hard at all. Smoked for 12 years.

cold turkey is the only thing that works

Go to a hypnotist every other day for a week.

drink a bunch of alcohol, then smoke a bunch of cigs till you have a terrible .. i mean horrible time.. like getting the spins from the nicotine and shit,... it might not be your style but i know people who have quit from having disgusting experiences like that including myself

also you have to projectile vomit

Thats why chicks won't quit. You gotta change your whole life when you quit smoking. Not just stop cigs. You gotta eat different, exercise, socialize with different people, non smokers, and, take up a hobby that will keep you busy for the rest of your life.

I stopped smoking 5 months ago. Couldn't do it without nicoderm cq. cut step 1 patches in half and quarters when stepping down to save money.

Thanks everyone for the advice... I really have tried everything out there, including the weaning down to a couple a day, but I always ended up back at it full steam ahead eventually. I will be 38 in a few weeks or so and really have not been feeling great lately and would really like to celebrate my Birthday smoke free if possible.. If I blow it I will just try again until I get it right... Just hard!

The advice of stay the hell away from people is a good one! I just want to feel healthier (if possible in this world)
No more sore throat and bleeding nose that I have been dealing with for the last month or so would be a nice benefit if smoking is even the reason...

Thanks for the input!

DON'T QUIT!!!WE HAVE BEEN OBSERVING YOU FOR SOME TIME, AND YOUR CIG SMOKE IS THE ONLY BARRIER NIBIRU CAN NOT PENETRATE. THE FATE OF THE WORLD IS ON YOUR SHOULDERS!

just kidding. Good for you, you can do it!

Suckers, man, lots of suckers or gum is what kept me from lighting up.

Will power, simply don't smoke again. Easier said then done BUT, a firm will power can accomplish almost anything.

LOL.. this is so true! I am 5'4 120lbs and terrified to get fat if I quit! I do eat healthy already, and exercise but have heard metabolism automatically slows down when you quit smoking.. fuck

This works! Get so drunk you don't wanna or can't leave the couch the next day. Talking the all day hangover but take it up three notches so you cant get to the porch for a smoke. Have shit tons of snacks and odd shit like smoked fish around for day 2 and 3. Pull up pictures of people who died in there 30's of lung cancer,easy to find on google images. Have some one who loves you enough too cater to your hung over morose ass helps too.

-You have to be 100% committed to not smoking ever again. Anything less and it is not worth the grief.
-Find a substitute, I chomped on hard candy.
-Drinking is a problem, it is usually the downfall of someone who is quitting or has quit smoking.
-I found that switching to tea instead of coffee helped a lot. Green tea for it's cleansing effects.
-If you haven't smoked for a couple of years, then you can consider yourself successful.
-Good luck, it is not easy. but can be done.
