Think of pink pretty healthy lungs (and not black and filled with smoke). \nThink of white teeth (and not yellow, stained ugly smoker's teeth)\nThink of fresh breath, fresh clothes, fresh hair (and not that awful cigarette odor)\nThink of $1,277 dollars saved in a year by not smoking (and not buying a pack per day)\n\nDo you like to be controlled? if not.. then don't smoke. \n\nIf you smoke you are being manipulated by a lifeless cigarette. Pitiful!\n\nThink of the power you have over cigarette. Because my friend you DO HAVE THE POWER!.\n\nIf none of these thoughts work, go to bed.

Laser treatment cannot stop you from smoking.\nIf you want to try something nontraditional, try hypnotherapy or acupuncture. Or maybe just go cold turkey. That seems pretty nontraditional too these days.

Yes, if you can.\n\nHere's some help.\n\nQuitting smoking is a great opportunity to learn about ourselves.\nCongratulate yourself  on having the desire to stop - 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. Beware - alcohol will weaken your resolve.\nHere's a few home-brewed tips that might be useful.\nIt's not just nicotine addiction - there are 50+ chemicals in cigarettes. Also the main problem is habit.\nWe 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.\nWhen 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.\nA 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.\nAnother 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!\nWe 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.\n\nAfter we have stopped for a while we will begin to feel that just one wont to any harm.\nAll that leads to is a desire for just another one. We must guard very strongly against the desire to have just one.

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.

Try eating foods high in antioxidants.  Antioxidants help to remove free radicals from the body.  (The toxins from smoke would be free radicals.)\n\nBlueberries have higher concentrations of antioxidants than anything else.  Other Berries, broccoli, tomatoes, red grapes, garlic, spinach, tea, carrots, soy and whole grains are also full of antioxidants.  \n\nAlso try to find acai (pronounced ah-sa-ee) berry juice or pomegranate juice.  \n\nLook for the acai juice at Whole Foods.

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!

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.

First of all, don't drink any coffee, or tea, or any infusion, cause it estimulates your willing of a cigarette. Then try to be busy, avoid having time for thinking of a cigarette. And to make things easier, try eating some chewing gum, ask for those for smokers if you can.\nAnyway, it's gonna be hard, but it's not impossible! You can do it!\nSo good luck! ;)

This is a common problem for the young men and women of this generation(including me!).....\nWhen there is problem, there is always a solution.\nYou can try the following things out....\nUse adrenalin boosting stimulii.....\nOk....I will explain this......Try watching an action packed movie in a theatre(without breaks).....or even horror movies(ofcourse only those which don't make you think that they are silly)....\nThe laziness can be the result of smoking(as you didn't mention whether you smoke cigarettes, it might not be applicable to you)....it is medically proven that smoking induces laziness to a great extent. If you are a smoker, you should think over the matter that you are playing around with your immune system. A smoker needs atleast two hours of more sleep than a normal person. Even pollution tends to harm us in a similar manner. For this, you can try going for a country-side trip once in a month, and if you are not that lazy and time permits, you can try a mere 15 min walk on the lawn every morning or evening. Barefooted walk on green grass is quite beneficial.\nThis can also be due to your stressful daily routine. Try utilizing your breaks efficiently by discussing something other than work. Subscribe to any site which posts jokes and quotes into your personal mail box. Most of the mail account providers have spam guards. So, it won't create much of a mess.\nThe mostly proven remedy which is gaining potential nowadays is laughing. Try watching crazy game shows, cartoons(Tom and Jerry, Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin Series, Mr. Beans, The Road Runner Show, Bugs Bunny, and lots more are there only for us), and special shows aired to make us laugh, like Just for Gags in POGO. They are really relieving. If you feel ashamed, try watching it alone and laugh in the fullest.\nAt present I am working with these remedies and they are really working great. I think even this answer will give you a bit of relief, as it has an inbuilt laziness fighter ! Just Kiddin' !
