I’m 50 and I’ve been smoking for over 30 yrs now. Quit once for 54 days (long story).
The only way to quit smoking is Cold Turkey. Everything is in your head. Once you decide to quit just do it. Keep reminding yourself that you DO NOT smoke.
All the pills, gums, patches… are just there to put "you mustn’t smoke or you can die" in your head.
In many cases isn’t about nicotine, it’s about habit…what to do with your hands. That’s why you light-up sometimes and ask yourself why you did it.
Try to keep busy (get job at Gas Station…lol). In my case, I had a lot of peanuts in shell (to do something with my hands).
Good luck
Cold Turkey.
Nobody is going to be serious
taht gum nicotine or something.
Try acupuncture.
You should be able to find a practitioner in Montreal.
find something else to think about also to do, and put down the cigs.
My grandmother smoked for 40 years and just stopped one day without anything. I aksed her to stop and she did. Chew gum when the urge appears, that has helped alot of my friends along with cold turkey.
I smoke again BUT what worked for me and what I’ll do again was to keep my hands and mouth busy. I chewed gum and candy all day and kept my hands busy with arts and crafts… I also tried to spend a lot of time in places where I couldn’t smoke.
Wil power, you have to really really want to stop and give it your best, my uncle read a book about a man who smoked 40/50 cigarettes a day and it lets you smoke while you read through it, he stop after reading it and hasnt smoked since, iv never read it personally, but it is down to will power mostly.
When ever you want to smoke go for a drive or watch t.v to get it off your mind
Despite all of the knowledge available, smoking is still one of the leading preventable causes of disease and death in the world.
Smoking is extremely addictive, and it does not take long before you find yourself craving cigarettes. Recent statistics show that every cigarette you smoke takes six minutes off of your life.
This means that smoking one pack a day takes away two hours off your life. Just imagine how many days that becomes over an entire lifetime, and you may begin searching for quit smoking aids or natural ways to quit smoking.
People should quit smoking, why?
There are a million reasons. Smoking affects just about every part of your body from your lungs to your heart, and even your kidneys and liver. The biggest risks for smokers are lung cancer and emphysema. Cigarette smoking stops the lungs from normal functioning, inhibiting breathing and damaging the lung tissue.
Though most smoking related damage can be repaired over time if you quit smoking, emphysema cannot be reversed once you have it. Heart disease is also a concern for smokers. Smoking causes greatly increased risk of heart disease, especially if you are also overweight, inactive or have high cholesterol. If you have heart disease in your family, you should quit smoking immediately to reduce your chances of a heart attack.
Smoking can also increase your risk for having a stroke, especially if you are a woman taking birth control pills. This combination can be deadly and should be stopped immediately if you are a woman over the age of thirty. Smoking also causes decreased circulation that can lead to blood clots, especially later in life. It can also increase diabetic symptoms in those suffering from the disease.
There is no best quit smoking way. However, if you are ready to quit, there are a variety of different methods to choose from that can help you along the way. For instance, there are natural quit smoking aids, along with medication smoking stop methods. Natural methods include acupuncture cessation smoking treatments and hypnosis. Medications such are Wellbutrin are also known to help cut down on cigarette cravings.
chew gum!
Well just ask someone to hide them from you.
Then just don’t smoke,
Instead try eating fruits and vegies.
And also sunflowerseeds and nuts are a big help too.
GOOD LUCK!
=)
eat gums
i would say that would have to be will power!!
have a loved one help you say no when you have the urges.
get rid of all of your smokes in the house car office ect.
then when you get the urges do something that you really like to do so that you get your mind off of it..
ps i am not a smoker, but i absoultly hate when people smoke around me, it is so nasty.
you will feel soooo much healthy and clean when you quit!!
good luck!!
i know your trying to go natural but I’ll tell you what – the patch works! I smoked a pack a day & always woke up with the urge to smoke until I tried the patch…. trust me, it can work for you too!
Try cutting down first. Like only allowing yourself to have one every 1 or 2 hours. Do that for a week increasing the time to like 1 every 3 hr and so on. Pick a day and stop smoking. When craving arrive chew on a straw, suck on a candy, eat healthy foods, and if they are really bad go for a walk or exercise. Good luck to u.
cold turkey is a way but it wont work you will eventually give in .this is what you do go on the internet and research foods that make cigs taste horrible then try to fight wanting one but if you give in eat one of the foods it worked for my dad
I found sucking on Halls helped me a lot, it kept my mouth occupied and was refreshing, also I was a big car smoker, so I chewed on pens for a while when driving to help control the urges. And I would stay away from alcohol for a little bit, thats when my cravings went nuts. Good luck, the first 2 weeks are the hardest, but after that it gets a lot easier. You are making the right choice to quit, I am so happy I did, I have been smoke free for 2 months now!
CONGRATULATIONS!it is a good thing you’ve decided to stop smoking.just keep telling yourself that you are going to have a very healthy life now.and if the urge appears munch a chocolate or something and do something that will divert your mind.good luck and god bless you
Will power and don’t drink!
When you fancy a cigarette try a diversionary tactic such as getting up and doing something or taking some exercise. In fact taking up exercise and appreciating your increased lung capacity may encourage you to stay of the cigarettes!
Some friends swear by hypnosis but I think you get the longest lasting results by being intrinsically motivated to give up and stay that way.
You could try Alan Carr (google him) if you are interested in hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) as a way to aid giving up.
You can do everything that everyone suggests, but in addtion, you should start a workout regimine which will help you get your mind thinking healthy. When I quit cold turkey this is what I did to change my overall health, oh and chewing on straws, lol.
The answer is here

I used hypnotism to get me started and a large rubber band on my wrist for pain aversion therapy for the urges.
Good luck and have a great new year if your calendar starts in January.
COLD TURKEY! The first 3 days SUCK, but after that, the crave subsides. Keep yourself occupied with other activities and keep plenty of lolipops around
Try some of the homeopathic remedies. They are safe, no side effects and don’t interract with anything.
