first of all you must be seriously and willingly want to quit. Think of all the diseases that you might have if you keep smoking. you should set an example for you children if you have any.keep all the above in your mind.\nI was a smoker and i quit now for 1yr & 7m this what I did\n1- I prayed a lot to God that make me hate the ciggarrates\n2- I promised God (I worship) not to smoke (I sat a date)\n3- Get rid of all thing related or help me to smoke like ashtray, lighter from my bedroom \n4- Have sweet or chewing gum handy\n5- keep my self bessy especially the time i used to smoke\n6- Don't sit with smokers especially the first weeks\n7- Avoid smoking areas\nfinally, I hard many stories and I saw my sitter (a former smoker) gave up many times about how difficults is it, but when you set you mind to do something believe me you will succeed. Good Luck

I think I know what kind of smoking you are talking about cause I had that same kind of problem and truth is its hard to cause you know with the smoke comes the munchies and if you don’t stop smoking you wont stop munching so you have to make a choice and if you work out you wont have as much time to smoke. Try It!

Don't think about it too much. You need a bit of determination & you obviously have that to ask about it.\nQuit on the spur of the moment - try & frighten yourself & until you cope without one, steer clear of the pub & people who smoke. I gave up in June like that & have stuck to it where previous attempts failed. I did at first allow myself to have one with a drink but then went so long without going out that I sickened myself & haven't touched one since. Be careful of that though because it can become an excuse for a cigarette. If you've been smoking 20/30 a day you may want to have patches to help you & as well as giving you nicotine it can also act as a deterrent because it is dangerous to smoke with one on. But like I said once you've quit, forget about it. The more you say to yourself I've given up the more you'll be thinking about smoking. Keep busy with a hobby. Good Luck x

January 1, 1987 I had my last cigarette at 1am, after smoking a pack-a-day for over 20 years. Try the following. It will work. You don't even need good luck.\nLocal hospitals offer week-long programs to make you quit smoking. Then you'll need this trick to not go back to it: Just don't have that ONE CIGARETTE!\nPeople buckle under the intense urge for a cigarette and think that their problem will go away with one cigarette. But that just makes the problem go away temporarily, only to come back with a higher intensity.\nQuitting smoking feels like a loss of a loved one because to the brain it is just that - a loved one. So be prepared for the longing and the pain. Just endure it. It won't kill you. Actually, it will make you live longer.\nAdapt a new lifestyle i.e. eat fruits, go jogging, etc. Do whatever, but once you have gone through the week-long quit-smoking program, DON'T HAVE THAT ONE CIGARETTE NO MATTER WHAT. If you have that one cigarette, you fail and if you don't then you succeed. It is that simple. You do need that week-long program to launch yourself into the wonderful world of non-smoking though. \nOne more thing: you may need to keep the company of non-smokers for a while i.e. at least one year.

I am in the proccess of quitting too.\n\nI found one thing that is working for me is to turn the negative "I want a cigarette", into a positive.\n\nWhen I am feeling that overwhelming feeling, I say out loud "I do NOT want a cigarette!"  sometimes I yell at my other 1/2 "I do NOT want a cigarette RIGHT NOW!!!!!"  I know it sounds crazy, but it is good reinforcement for yourself.\n\nThe other thing is to remember that the cravings only last a very short time. Just talk yourself through them.  I try to remember that it is MY choice to quit.\n\nI wish you all of the best of luck and God Bless.

Set a date 4 months into the future and say you will not smoke until then. If you still want to smoke then, take it up again.\n\nAfter 3 months you will find the craving has vanished. This worked for me. I wasn;t going to spend the rest of my life craving a cigarette. Nicotine patches help some. But the important thing is to not smoke at all while you are giving up. Throw them away now, and if you want, take it up again in 4 months.\n\nMy mum died of smoking related causes, and she was still asking people to take her outside for a smoke while she was in palliative care. Don't end up like her, it is not a pleasant way to die, and not pleasant to watch it.

Yes I totally agree with the last poster, I too believe that the only real way to give up smoking is just to drop it cold turkey, I took my last pack of cigarettes and threw them in the trash 1 week and two days ago and yes it is very hard at first, but it keeps getting easier every day and as long as you have someone to support you, you'll be fine. DROP THEM COLD TURKEY!

Put the cigarettes down, throw away everything pertaining to them, and then walk away. Do not gravitate towards people who do smoke, don't have long fantasizing conversations about how you used to smoke, and do not give in to the urge to smoke. Just say NO!\n\nThink of it this way: When you put a cigarette in your mouth and start to smoke, and then after a while you get the urge to do it again, and you can't control that urge, who is really in charge of your life? A little rolled up ball of tobacco? Give me a break, I used to smoke and I could never stop until I decided to walk away. It was a life changing moment, and between me and God, I told Him I would not smoke any more. That was over 6 years ago, no patches, classes, gum or anything! Every time I saw a smoke, I told my self "You will not smoke that." \nI can honestly say that it did take a few months for the thought of smoking to go away, but it was nothing I could not handle, and after 6 months I realized I do not even like the smell of smokers around me. And I haven't considered picking up that nasty habit since. Thank God!

Gradually decrease your cigarette intake and make a time table which is attainable. Do not do it abruptly, this can cause more harm than good for others. Good luck you are making a good decision already by choosing to quit. Good Luck!! :-)

Hey Wizzle. I'm going to tell it like it is. I smoked for 20 years. I quit once for 9 months and now for 13 years. There's only one way to quit smoking. JUST DON'T DO IT ANYMORE. All this crap about cutting down and drug treatments. That's for weaklings and people who don't really want to quit. It's a total mind game. You against it.\n\nHere's your biggest obstacle. The people around you. There will be people in your life who want you to fail. Some will do it on purpose. Most don't even know they're doing it. They'll get you drunk. Take you to places where people smoke. Even offer you a cigarette. Just know in advance these things will happen. That's when you have to be strong. Also, the craving for a cigarette will go away in a few minutes. Just fight it off til the next craving. You're addicted to the act of smoking as well as the nicotine.\nThe first 100 days are the hardest. I'm not gonna say it's easy. "Just don't smoke". Simple as that.\n.
