my friend smoked for over 15 years and she was in the same situation as you.....she tried the pills and the patch, and nothing worked. she would get really emotional and cry all the time, etc. anyways, she is really into herbs and things too and she used something called lobelia. you can get it at your healthfood stores, and it's not expensive. it's a liquid that comes in a little bottle, and you put a few drops in a glass of water a couple of times a day. oh, she also did a specific smoking detox for 6 days (it had lobelia in it) which she said really helped. basically the lobelia creates a distaste for cigarettes. she had one cigarette two weeks after quitting and threw up, and she hasn't smoked since. and it's been a couple of years now. and when she was using that stuff, she didn't have the emotional roller coaster like she did with everything else. so i would recommend the detox if you can get it, but if not, definitely the lobelia. they are both available at health food stores. good luck!

there is not much you can do. Me and my husband quit. about a month ago. I have to say that i just did because he did. i didn't really want to. But as of right now am still smoke free and feel better. oh, i want one every so often but not like i thought i would. i have children too and it sure did make them happy. It feels good to be free of "oh, did i get my cigs" or "do i have a light".  Show your dad this question and answer. I will be praying that you do this for your child. Just give it a try. We used the patches and gum. only had to buy 2 weeks worth and then the patch became just plain annoying and the gum just tasted plain gross. Just try it. My husband smoked 1 1/2 pks a day and i smoked 1 pk a day and didn't even want to stop. once the nicotine gets out of your system, You will feel better. Trust me. just try it.....

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

Have you tried the American Heart Association?  I don't know of a free program.  Talk to your doctor.  To quit on your own, ask yourself why/when you need to smoke.  Once you determine that, replace that with something else (not food), like walking, etc.  I wanted a cigaret at the computer, after my meals, or when I was stressed.  Good luck!

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.

Make a bet with a few different people and put the money in a glass jar that you will save every day. Keep gum and or toothpicks to keep your mouth busy and try not to be around any one who smokes for at least the first two weeks. Change your habits, if you have to smoke when you drink, don't drink for a while, and stay away from bars and places where a lot of people smoke. If you always smoke as soon as you wake up, try sometype of light excercise instead. I wish I could tell you it's easy, but we all know that quitting smoking is one of the hardest things to do. I quit seven years ago cold turkey from 2 and1/2 packs a day and have not had one since. I told everyone I knew and no one bellieved me, so I did it to spite them and prove to myself I could. I had tried the patch and gum prior to that, but nothing worked until I really decided I wanted to quit. Be strong and everytime you get the urge, just remember why you're quitting. Congrats on making a life changing decision and I wish you the best of luck.

You Can Quit Smoking\n\nA 5-Day Plan To Get Ready\n\nThe first step to quitting smoking is to decide to quit. Next, make an appointment with your health care provider, or contact a smoking cessation clinic to discuss your options for treatment. Set a quit date.\n\n\nQuit Day Minus 5\nList all of your reasons for quitting and tell your friends and family about your plan. Stop buying cartons of cigarettes.\n\n\nQuit Day Minus 4\nPay attention to when and why you smoke. Think of new ways to relax or things to hold in your hand instead of a cigarette. Think of habits or routines you may want to change. Make a list to use when you quit.\n\n\nQuit Day Minus 3\nMake a list of the things you could do with the extra money you will save by not buying cigarettes. Think of who to reach out to when you need help, like a smoking support group.\n\n\nQuit Day Minus 2\nBuy the over-the-counter nicotine patch or nicotine gum, or get a prescription for the nicotine inhaler, nasal spray, or the non-nicotine pill, bupropion SR. Clean your clothes to get rid of the smell of cigarette smoke.\n\n\nQuit Day Minus 1\nThink of a reward you will get yourself after you quit. Make an appointment with your dentist to have your teeth cleaned. At the end of the day, throw away all cigarettes and matches. Put away lighters and ashtrays.\n\n\nQuit Day\nKeep very busy. Change your routine when possible, and do things out of the ordinary that don’t remind you of smoking. Remind family, friends, and coworkers that this is your quit day, and ask them to help and support you. Avoid alcohol. Buy yourself a treat, or do something to celebrate.\n\n\nQuit Day Plus 1\nCongratulate yourself. When cravings hit, do something else that isn’t connected with smoking, like taking a walk, drinking a glass of water, or taking some deep breaths. Call your support network. Find things to snack on, like carrots, sugarless gum, or air-popped popcorn.

Smoking Cessation Classes.\n\nCheck with area universities for them. Ask your health insurance about where to get them and if you get re-imbursed for them.\n\nMy mother used  hypnotherapy to lose weight once. The Hypnotist offered Smoking Cessation as well. You could try that too.\n\nI know a guy that just made up his mind on Great American Smoke-Out day to quit cold turkey. It worked for him, but you don't have to wait for the day to come around again.

I quit almost 3 years ago by taking Zyban.  It really helped.  I smoked over 2 packs a day for over 20 years.  It was a little difficult, but not too bad.  You have to be really ready to conquer that monster.  Good luck!!!

Replacement therapy.  Start an exercise program (join a gym or walk together daily).  Try the patch and nicotene gum, and hypnotism.  All of those together should do the trick!  Good luck!  :)

1. decide you want to quit\n2. get patches, they work 8-10 week program\n3. alter behaviour and watch for triggers, (things which make you really want a cigarette)\n4. take it a day sometimes an hour at a time\n5 set up reward system\n6. Do some research on what transpires in a body even in the first 12 hours of stopping the smokes.  \nFinally:  The body and systems are very forgiving and rejuvenate themselves towards healing.  It is amazing to smell, taste, and not stink,,,,\n\none who knows,,,
