I quit smoking last year on Halloween at this party we were at- ran out & then decided to quit for good.  I had terrible headaches but overcame them in time, but sought help online & hooked up with Nicotine Anonymous.  It is hard to quit as you can smell smokers everywhere & I still avoid our local casinos- but last year in Washington we passed a law saying no smoking in restraunts-25 feet away from a business etc.  That sure helped me-in fact I voted in favor of the law!   In the 80's my dad got lung cancer after smoking 3 packs a day- I quit smoking for 5 years- but took it up when he was in his final stages of dying. But I refuse to go back to smoking & reward myself all the time for not smoking- anything I want I can buy.  Please try to quit for you & your friend- www.Quitnet.com  - try this site.  My husband quit in 85 when we got together for my son who was 14- Trav is 33 & didn't even remember Rick smoking.   Now Trav's daughter Chloe ( our only grandchild)  will not remember me smoking as she is only 4.  When you  want a smoke- just pray & the urge will pass- it only last 10 minutes.  Meanwhile look around for a hobby  to occupy you hands!  Good luck- you can do it!

First i stopped smoking when i went on holiday, so that i was outside of my normal environment which made it a bit easier.  Then i just stopped.  Was hell for the first 7 days, horrible for the next 21 days, not nice for a couple of months, and then got to be normal not smoking. \n\nGood luck

hey man there aint no easy way. i smoked for ten years and am quit for a year now.  first you have to do it cold turky. no cutting down patch gum or anything. do it only when ur the most motivated and determined. then use all the will power that you have to not take even a hit off another cig, when cravings start chew gum, and work out. If you run it out that works vary well also, just keep yourself busy and you will notice in a few weeks the cravings will start to go away. just remember the key is cold turky if you put nicoteen in your body in any way you will fail its inevitable. remember dieng of lung cancer will suck, good luck.   -clokey

giving up smoking is HARD.  I have done it several times, this last time for several years.  I am still smoke free, but it's kind of like being a alcoholic.  You need to just quit cold turkey.  No patches, no gum, no tapering off.  It's nonsense.  Just don't light a cigarette.  You will need something to replace it with.  People will tell you exercise, walking, etc.  People are crazy.  You aren't ready for that.  I recommend baby carrots.  No, i'm not kidding.  Eat a baby carrot everytime you want a cigarette.  They take about the same amount of time to eat and they will give you something to do.  Baby carrots cost about 1.50 for a plastic bag of them.  It's cheaper than cigarettes and no one ever got fat eating carrots.  And they are even healthy.  I quit for my son too.  I want to hold my grandchildren someday.  You CAN do it.  Congrats on your decision.

Quitting smoking is the hardest thing to do.  I quit 4 months ago.  I smoked 2-4 packs a day for over 40 years.  I never considered quitting until they took me to the hospital by ambulance.  I have 1st stage emphysema which is a miracle but will live with the consequences of smoking for the rest of my life.  I wish you well.  I can not imagine smoking one cigarette a day.  It seems a bit ridiculous.  However, if you smoke one cigarette a day, it seems that would not necessarily be bad for you.  Tobacco is an herb and has medicinal properties, but you would have to grow the tobacco yourself, since each cigarette produced by our huge tobacco companies has been enhanced with over an hundred chemicals which go directly to the brain and cause the craving and addiction which has proven too difficult for some people to quit even to the point of death.  I loved smoking for most of my life but have been devastated at the horror of coming "off" of this drug for the last 4 months but am determined to remain smoke free.  I have tried the commit lozenges, nicotrol gum, a nicotrol inhaler and the patch and am using the gum right now.  Hopefully, I will be able to get off of all nicotine by the end of this year but in any case, I am no longer polluting my environment and causing grave harm to my health.  There is a huge pool of resources available to "quitters".  I have used them all, even down to a counselor that I got by calling 1-800-nobutts.  Again, I wish you well.

Well, I've never tried the gum or the patch. I've smoked for ten years and have recently stopped smoking for good. My doctor told me that if I could go twenty-four hours without a cigarette and roll that over into a whole week then the desire to smoke will leave me forever. Well I'm here to tell you that I haven't  had a cigarette since the 4th of June. The first three days are the toughest. After awhile though, the desire does leave. It works! It really does! -effort and determination.

try not to worry about anything straight away stress will only make you feel worse but you do need to go to the lung specialist and take it from there , im not going to tell you to give up the cigs because i smoke myself it would be good if we could all give up , but good luck i hope it goes well .

I'm there with you! I actually quit about 2 months ago, and then 2 weeks ago I was under a lot of stress and started back up again. I kept smoking one or two a day and kept telling myself, I'm not smoking again, I'll quit tomorrow, but I haven't. I think that you really, really have to want to quit. Not for your family, or your health, but just because you don't want to do it anymore. My dad, who is 54, quit a few weeks ago, and he has smoked since he was 16. He is using the patches. I'll pray for you and you pray for me! Good luck!

Going to be a little difficult to light and keep lit. No buzz unless smoking a cig or cigar would give you a buzz. Nicotine is still the only thing in chew that would give you a buzz.

Personally I can't wait.  I spent fifty odd years smoking, and can now understand how my kids must have suffered in the back of the car.  I cannot understand how a whole family sitting on the next table too me would all light up as soon as they had finished eating, Bloody ignorant lot, not bothering about us or their youngster in the pushchair.  We have overcome that one now, we always go in after we know they will have gone. Poor child has got it all the time though.           I know ex smokers are the biggest moaners, but I can also see why,  I wouldn't smoke in a restaurant or cafe.      I gave up after getting up to answer the phone, the answerphone cut in before I made it. My mate thought I had been running, but I had only just got off the couch.When I heard the recording, I sounded like an asthmatic elephant. I gave up ( for the 4th time) the end of August '88 and not stopped moaning since.   \nI gave up the bottle around the same time,     I went to pay for some materials and my hand was shaking so much I couldn't sign a cheque. I made the excuse I had almost knocked someone over.  \n\n                 I'm so good, I start church soon!!!!!!!!\n\nDoubt it will stop many smoking, and this government know it.
