Quitting smoking is a great opportunity to learn about ourselves, as you have already observed.
Congratulation yourself on completing the first week – then you are over the worst, but still need to maintain your resolve. It’s just so easy to start thinking that just one won’t hurt, but it does. Just one achieves nothing except feeling the need for another. Whatever you do, don’t have just one.
Here’s a few home-brewed tips that might be useful.
It’s not just nicotine addiction – there are 50+ chemicals in cigarettes. Also the main problem is habit.
We have been used to having body sensations which we translate as ‘my body needs something’, which we have attempted to satisfy by having a cigarette.
When we try to stop smoking, we still get these ‘my body needs something’ sensations, and we still feel that we want a cigarette. We have to train our body to be more selective. When we feel we need something, we have to work out what it is that we actually need.
A glass of water is an excellent substitute if nothing else comes to mind, as it helps with the clearance of the toxic substances in our body. Another good substitute is a bag of salted peanuts, used in combination with the water.
Another thing to do is to find an activity which occupies the mind or body. Go swimming – nobody wants to smoke while they are swimming. Slowly, as our body adjusts and translates the ‘want something’ feelings into something other than cigarettes, then the feelings begin to go away. We know its not a cigarette that the body really needs, because as soon as we’ve had one we still have the feeling, and want another!
We will have a few bouts of feeling or even being short tempered. We must try to bite our lip, and control; ourselves. Recognise the short temper as being the removal of toxins which are trying to find a way out. They went in through the mouth, and they try to get out that way to. We must learn to keep our mouth closed, and force the toxins out the other way.
The way I quit was I went to the store, bought a brand new pack, opened them, smoked one and enjoyed the hell out of it and then while driving down the road I threw the whole new pack out the window. Throwing that new pack away and wasting all that money for nothing helped me realized how much money I was wasting on them, and my health.
Use patches
Try doing what I did….just stopped.
one word…….REHAB
good question.. because i have the same problem . i have tried the patches that only works so much. my husband does not smoke and he always gets on me about smoking . i know i have to stop soon.
my mom actually went to a fortune teller person or w/e and had them hypnotize her and she hasn’t smoked one since
expensive, but the patches worked for me. that along with, everytime, I get the urge to smoke, I go to the gym instead – feeling like you can breath when you’re cardio exercising is a great incentive. get generic patches if you can – they’re cheaper.
When I wanted a cig I always put some form of hard candy in my mouth like Jolly Ranchers or ate carrots or started to clean my house that worked for me .I hope this helps…..
do something else other than smoking depends on how long you been smoking
Above answers are good examples. Just to add maybe you can do a simple math on your annual expense for your smoking habit. Then think what all you could have done with that money. It may not sound fortune…hey but buying even a bunch of flowers for your loved one can sure buy you love & respect worth more than a fortune. I wish you all the best. You can do it!
hi
my husband stopped smoking afew weeks ago, it was very difficult psychologicallly! he used the patches first but still found his habbit of moving his hands and drinking his tea un satisfying. but then the improvemnt of the colour of his skin suprized him and now he forgot the hand movement doesnt use the patches but is addicted to tea!!!!
have faith in yourself, im sure u can do it, it only takes afew days at the beginning and your whole life will be better,
good luck
Read the book, Allen Carrs Easy Way to Stop Smoking. I read the book 3 years ago and have never even thought about smoking since then. But if you are not serious about quitting, then just keep puffing away, beause you will never stop permanently. Good luck.
P.S. After 5 days the nicotine in your system clears completely, the rest is purely in the mind.
Drinking lots of water helps. It flushes out the chemicals, and also gives you something else to do with your hands.
You have to realize that smoking is an obsession. It really does NOTHING for you but that. That’s why they call it a habit.
Best way to get rid of one habit is to replace it with another. I recommend going on a special diet, treating yourself with lots of water, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables, etc. Concentrate and become obsessed with consuming something…. and just put the cigarettes that you don’t have… in the back of your mind.
Oh… and don’t finish out the pack you have in your hand.
Throw it away. That will be better motivation to quit.

Don’t start in the first place
This method works for me and is the only money back guaranteed.
I quit smoking 2 years ago
Get the Facts
Easyway, founded by Allen Carr in 1983, has the highest independently verified 12-month success rate (75.8% for a smoker completing the program) of any quit smoking technique and a 90% satisfaction rating.
Compare Easyway to other methods and see for yourself why Easyway is called “The Cadillac of quit smoking methods.”
The Allen Carr Method
HOW THE METHOD WORKS
Using psychotherapy, the method works in the opposite way to the “willpower” method. It does not concentrate on the reasons the smoker should not smoke : the money, the slavery, the health risks and the stigma. Smokers know all that already. Instead it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.
It is fear that keeps smokers hooked!
Fear the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Fear the smoker will be unable to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear the smoker will have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear the smoker will never get completely free from the craving.
The Method removes these fears
Smokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted….
TO BE FREE!
What about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?
The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most smokers don’t realise that they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try and quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.
The Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation.
It removes the need and desire to smoke. Once the smoker is in the right frame of mind and they follow the simple instructions, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.
No Gimmicks!
The Method does not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhilators or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment!
The Allen Carr Method is successful because:
It removes the smokers’ conflict of will.
There are no bad withdrawal pangs.
It is instantaneous and easy.
It is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers.
You need not gain weight.
You will not miss smoking.
Medical Endorsements
A personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health
“I have no hesitation in supporting Allen Carr’s work. Many clinics use some of his techniques but it would appear that few do it in quite such a successful package.”
Carole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees
“his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”
Dr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital
“I have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.”
Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong
“It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.”
Dr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research
Fund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London
”…I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.”
Dr PM Bray MB CH.b., MRCGP
“I was really impressed by the method. In spite of the Allen Carr organisation’s success and fame, there were no gimmicks and the professional approach was something a GP could readily respect. I would be happy to give a medical endorsement of the method to anyone.”
Celebrity Endorsements
"His method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, while you are actually smoking. I’m pleased to say it has worked for many of my friends and staff.”
Sir Richard Branson
“Some friends of mine who had stopped using Allen Carr’s method suggested I tried it. I did. It was such a revelation that instantly I was freed from my addiction. Like those friends of mine, I found it not only easy but unbelievably enjoyable to stay stopped.”
Sir Anthony Hopkins
GOOD LUCK
