Quit smoking?

I tried to quit smoking
today, but I'm a sucker I guess, this is like my fifth time trying. I really
want to quit but I just go crazy inside when I don't smoke. This sucks, never
smoke.
I quit after many years, have been free for over 2 years now.

First off, what one guy already told you...american spirit.
first thing change to those never smoke anything else.
cut out hundreds o chemicals that your body doesnt need and makes it more
addictive and poisonous.

The way I finally quit.: I picked a date, which was my birthday for easy
reference, also to give myself the present of healthy lungs. I chose it like 5
months in advance. The rule I gave myself was that I could smoke all I wanted
until my birthday, and by that date I would never smoke again. I told everybody
that I knew, family, friends, and professionally, that I would quit by that
date. Then my pride was entangled with that goal so I could not fail. Sometimes
when we state something, like we wiull quit smoking, there just isnt a high
enough level of committment. For my personality, this was the magic way. I didnt
feel deprived because I smoked all I wanted, and every time I did I announced my
quit date. Of all the people I told, only a couple doubted me, but their doubt
made my will even stronger.

I also did stuff like worked on reducing the amount I smoked to make it easier
to drop it, and not aqllowing myself to smoke indoors, I smoked outside with a
special jacket, to keep the smell off my clothes. I learned some other things,
deep things during this time, which I will share with you if you are interested
and contact me by email.

Do it, quit. You wont regret it.
My mom quit cold turkey. You force yourself to never buy them, or you try to
find a reason to put it off and you'll never have any to smoke when you want to.
You can also try gradually getting off of them. Say you currently smoke a pack a
day, cut back to half that amount until you are comfortable with that level cut
back again until you eventually feel you can stop.
Nicotine patches might also help, and again just gradually cut back.
Those are the 3 best suggestions I can come up with. Whatever you do don't put
it off, start today or else for the rest of your life you'll be telling yourself
you can quit tomorrow. Good Luck!
first of all I just want to say: That's great! you want to quit smoking!

next I think you should go and talk to your pharamcist on how you can quit
somking. He/she can suggest methods that you can try to help you quit. Also,
from what I've lerned in school when you want to smoke first you should try and
destract yourself, like go and brush your teeth everytim you want to smoke or
try and slove a puzzle. I also learned that if you drink cold water slowly when
feel like somking you will lose the urge to smoke. I don't know how it works but
it effect a part of the brain to help you out with not smoking. I hope this
helps. but you should seek professional help with that quest of yours it may
seem hard at times, but you're doing it to have better health =)
yes, i've been there.
i guess it was easier for me to quit because i'm a minor and it wasnt always
easy getting a hold of them. and it wasnt always easy smoking them. for me.. it
just got old trying to hide it. but for you, if you cant do it cold turkey.. try
some of the gum or the patch. there are a lot of things available to help you
out. but boy do i know what you mean.. when you think everything is going well
you think about it for 2 seconds and want that quick fix. try to keep busy. tell
all your friends not to let you even think about it. and if you do think about
it.. then talk about it! tell someone how badly you want one but how you know
you can't. good luck.
This is easier than you think, and thats the main thing you need to know.
You were not born with a cigarette, so there for you do not need to die by them
eh?

Whenever you want a cigarette, distract yourself, you can drink water, treat
yourself with chocolate or...

Take your thumb and index finger of either hand, do you know that flap of skin
between them? Use your thumb and index finger to gently press this skin on the
other hand between the thumb and index finger.
Press gently or a little more hard (DO NOT BRUISE YOURSELF!!) until you feel the
craving pass.
You can count in between too.

This has actually helped my friend who smoked for 20 years quit.

Good luck I know you can do this!
first, try switching to "american spirit" cigarettes. it won't fulfill your
cravings like marbolo or camel, because american spirit is natural tobacco and
does not contain additives and all that crap. but it'll help you cope. then
slowly, little by little, reduce the amount of american spirit cigarettes, and
eventually you can be smoke free.
Just quit completely.

I began college a few years ago. Before that, I used to drink pop/soda. However,
in college I drank coffee to keep myself awake. I didn't want to drink pop when
I eat lunch in the cafeteria because I didn't want to get too much caffeine from
coffee+soda. So I quit drinking soda and started drinking water. I no longer
have a craving for soda. It got cleared from my system. I probably drink one
soda once every few months.
it's so hard!! keep trying though, you can do it! i quit for a year, then
started back up over the new year... aaarrrgggeee!!! the way i did it the first
time was to take a vacation of at least 5 days, get lots of munchies, gum, candy
and mints and plant yourself in front of the t.v.... 5 days of overeating is
better than a lifetime of smoking!!
well please dont give up. my mom and dad smokes and i cant stand it. it makes me
wanna cry everytime she lites a cig. because then shes on breath closer to
dieing. i relly dont want to be a kid with no parents. and if you have kids im
sure they feel the same way as i do. even if you dont im sure your friends and
family feel that way to.
change it for anoyher habbit.
instead of goin outside for a smoke go for a peice of gum , or jog or someting u
wouldent like, like when ever u want a smoke do 5 pushups and then u will
eventually hate it and stop tinin abvout it
For a good strategy for this see smoking on this webpage below. With what they
add to tobacco, it is now almost impossible to stop.

try eating a wasabi pea every time you feel the urge for a cigarette. it worked
for me. Trust me, I highly suggest it.
Trying to do it on your own can be pure hell. You can go to your doctor and get
medications that will help relax you so you can overcome the cravings.
get somebody to put a hair in a half of your cigs and more and more over time
the taste will be utterly disgusting but you'll quit
start off slowly start by smoking 3 a day.. than when your used to it 2.. than
1.. than none! its a slow process ur addiction wont go away in one day!
You have no realy method.

See your doctor about how to pack up and that may help.

MAKE YOUR SELF STOP! that might work.
try nicotene free, the patch or the gum. try a hotline. try something else. best
of luck
nicotine gum

try putting a pack ni front of you and try to not be bothered by it
throw them away
