Here in Queensland, Australia we don't allow people to smoke inside buildings like shopping centres etc, within a certain distance to the serving area of a bar, in any place where food is served, at childrens playgrounds, within 10 meters of a building entrance or at bus shelters.\n\nThe legislation in your area would need to be more specific other than "public places".

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! ;)

None. don't want to litter. I thought the best protest would be purchasing cigarettes from a state which doesn't have a smoking ban. Have to travel about an hour but gee at least that other state without smoking bans will be getting my cigarette taxes. Imagine if every smoker did that? Might have to purchase a few cartons at a time but let the state feel the lack of smoking dollars.

This is a question I love to answer....\nNo, but I do think they should have thier own area to smoke.\n\nYou have the right to not go into a restraunt that allows smoking too, sooooo.. DON'T...\n\nNow, why I love this question.  Those darn liberal's keep coming back up.  They can not draw a line on what is freedom of a person's body and what is not.\nAbortion to me should be illegal except in extreme cases. (They say that it is a right for a woman to chose what happens to her body)\nSmoking is already legal. (They don't think you should smoke, because it creates cancer and they have to pay for it) (They do not think you should have a choice about smoking)\nThey think that the country is taking away too many of it's freedoms with spying and Patriot act, yet, they do not want you to have the choice to smoke.  ILLOGICAL!\n\nBasically, I think everyone has the right to do what they want and enjoy as long as it does not encrouch the rights of others.  Smokers in a smoking area with a smoke eater system allows just that.\n\nOh, and for the Singapore comment..  If you love it so much, MOVE there!  It is communistic already!

The whole anti-smoking lobby is over run with dicks. I should think your country should be giving an education to every single child who wants one, regardless of how they got there. If the nation flaunts its system and brags about how it is the elsupremo place to be - naturally less fortunates are going to want to be there.

First of all, You have to be ready to quit. It doesn't matter if everyone wants you to, but you aren't ready.\n\nWhat worked for me was to set a target date. Cut back on daily intake until that day, then get rid of all items related to smoking. I found a hypnotherapy and meditation system about quitting and used it as I approached my target date. I found some tea tree oil chewing sticks to chew on to give my mouth something to do besides eat. I also made sure I had plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available so I did not gain tons of weight.\n\nAnother highly effective thing was that I did not smoke inside the house, so I did not have the lingering smell to contend with. If you have been smoking inside, you will want to wash your walls and floors and possibly even paint to remove the odor, which will help reduce the cravings.\n\nFinally be patient with yourself. It often takes more than one attempt to sucessfully quit.

I had the most success with gum together with cognitive behavioral self-therapy - changing patterns of behaviors that I associated with smoking, like after eating or after sex.  So you may need to find something to replace your addiction to cigarettes - something healthier.\n\nGood luck!

Stop smoking!\nThis method works for me and is the only money back guaranteed.\nI quite smoking 2 years ago\n\n\nGet the Facts\nEasyway, 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. \n\nCompare Easyway to other methods and see for yourself why Easyway is called “The Cadillac of quit smoking methods.” \n\nThe Allen Carr Method\nHOW THE METHOD WORKS\n\nUsing 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.\n\nIt is fear that keeps smokers hooked!\n\nFear 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.\n\nThe Method removes these fears \nSmokers 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….\n\nTO BE FREE!\n\nWhat about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?\n\nThe 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.\n\nThe Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation. \nIt 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.\n\nNo Gimmicks!\n\nThe 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! \n\nThe Allen Carr Method is successful because:\n\nIt removes the smokers’ conflict of will. \nThere are no bad withdrawal pangs. \nIt is instantaneous and easy. \nIt is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers. \nYou need not gain weight. \nYou will not miss smoking. \n\nMedical Endorsements\n\nA personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health\n\n“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.” \n\nCarole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees \n\n“his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”\n\nDr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital\n\n“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.”\n\nDr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong\n\n“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.”\n\nDr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research \nFund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London\n\n”...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.”\n\nDr PM

Based on the mindset of many now, Malaysia will be just trudging along, not keeping up with the rest of the world.  There needs to be a complete change of mindset.  I'm not saying abandon the traditional ways.  No...tradition needs to live on.  But Malaysians have to:\n\n1. let go of government handouts\n2. stop playing "know someone high up" to get things done\n3. the culture of bribing and corruption (not that prevalant, but enough to discourage people from actually providing a service they are tasked to give)\n4. realize that they really can do it...Malaysia Boleh!\n\nThe familiar saying...first class facilities but third class mentality....this has to go.  Manners, social habits, general cleanliness...all has to get better.  \n\nPlenty of Malaysians are doing the right thing, but collectively, lots more to do (without becoming overly competitive, unlike some people, nudge nudge).\n\nMalaysia has tremendous potential, because at the core, the people are good and have tremendous pride in themselves.  They are beautiful and gracious.

my uncle has, and this is a recomendation\n\nfirst of all, get rid of all things to do with smoking, think of how your kids will react to your smoking. think about how you will be killing people with your secondhand smoke, get a hobby or something, and lastly, think about how you would improve if you stopped.

Smoking is not so great.  But, I'm addicted to cigarettes and smoke them for that reason.  \n\nSmokers don't want to smell like cigarettes and be looking through a haze.  So, you smoke in such a way as to minimize it.\n\nMost smokers don't walk around with giant signs saying 'smoking rules!' and stuff like that.  Most are aware that it's a smelly and unhealthy habit and desire to quit.  \n\nIt's just pretty difficult to do, and takes some time to build up the courage.

In Malaysia, there are no such laws.  The people here are very conservative and traditional when it comes to marriage..i.e. man and woman only.  There are homosexual couples, for sure, but they are no provisions for marriage for them.
