The most important is to really want to give up. If you are strongly motivated, you have a high chance to succeed. Remove any habit that is strongly associated with smoking (coffee, alcohol) and, if you want, use either the patch or prescription medication that helps with nicotine addiction. Once there, reward yourself for every cigarette-free day, week, month, year... Celebrate success and share with your friends and family. You can do it!

I think you know very well that how to give up cigarette. i.e. strong will power.\nStrong will power..just spread your finger when you hold cigarette it will fall down..hahah..If you want any medical help try a nicotine chewing gum, definitely it would assist to give up smoking but it also required strong will power.

pour some water on whatever is smoking and it will extinguish the fire , if your talking about quitting smoking in a more normal sense here is the next best sarcastic answer I can come up with, don't buy any more, don't take any from your friends, don't pick them up. don't put them in your mouth, don't light them, and if you do put them out, don't breath them in, because if you do you are smoking and you should stop immediately, because they are bad for you, the best way to stop smoking is to just stop, anything else is the same thing as that just a varying version of it, you know what you have to do, I wanna quit as well, go get on the patch ask your doctor hell, I don't know but I am sure the answer is in there somewhere

Firstly, good job on quitting smoking! I've never smoked, but I know how hard it must be to stop, since I've had 2 relatives who've smoked, and they've tried several times to quit but were unsuccessful.\n\nSecondly, I have never smoked, so there's nothing for me to quit. But good job to you!! And good idea on getting it off your mind!\n\nThirdly, I think you should watch the movie "Thank you for smoking" as a reward this week. It's a very funny movie about the people behind Firearms, Cigarettes, and Alcohol. They only show it in select areas, so check your area (movietickets.com is a good site) to see if they're showing it.\n\nI think with your enthusiasm you'd love it.\n\nOnce again, good job on quitting!!! \n\n< 33 Ana

try to get addicted to something less harmfull. Or if you want to just quit, ive heard that cold turkey is the easiest, interms of withdrawels. Or the patch, or the gum. But remember, if you have not been smoking for a VERY long time, when you quit, in time your lungs will be about as healthy as they were before you started smoking. Don't give up on it even if it is hard.

Don't buy any more cigarettes.  Don't light anymore cigarettes.  When you have the urge to smoke, focus on something else.  Change the habits where you usually smoke, like after dinner go for a walk rather than a smoke.  Chew on a lollipop in the car rather than smoke.  When you are stressed, practice Yoga or go jogging instead of smoking.

Heres a tip: try cutting back and use nothing at all.  Tobacco is not good for you or anybody.  If you really need nicotine (although i don't suggest it, because its not good for you either), try the patches or the gum.\nTry quitting, then you will feel much better.

Agreeing with the rest, cold turkey is the best. If you have the will to quit, and really don't want to smoke......don't.

You know its time for a change.  You can't just change this habit.  Its about how you are going to deal with the stress that comes up in your life.  You got to face your problems without running to some instant fix.  *the cigarette*  \n\nSecond, you got to take a proven route.  Look up Smoker annoyomous in your area.  Take the patch or gum.  You need someone that will support you in your tough times.  Maybe someone who also stopped.   When your tempted, remind yourself about the things  you hate about smoking.  So expensive.  The bad lungs.  Whatever reason you want to stop.  Remember it when your tempted

Ok, all the money you use to continue your smoking efforts, divert it to the aids...which btw, don't really work unless you REALLY want to quit.  \n\n\n--Yours Truely, \nCaptain Obvioius.  \n\nP.S.  The most successfull quitters go cold-turkey.

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.

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.

To quit smoking, you need to make two considerations.  First, you have to deal with the cravings, which are from the physical addiction to the chemicals in cigarettes.  Second, you have to address the habit or the behavior of smoking.  The cravings can easily be addressed with acupuncture, it does work for this.  On the other hand, the behaviors - things like smoking after a meal, lighting up when you are stressed, etc - are a completely different issue.  You will have to make the effort to form new habits to replace smoking.   It is like that old saying, "you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink."  The role of the acupuncturist is to make YOUR job of quitting easier.  If you are determined, the acupuncture therapy can make the process of quitting go more smoothly for you.  Also, acupuncture therapy can help your lungs and body begin to detoxify, reduce stress and improve your general health.  Good luck to you.

first, do NOT reduce the amount of cigarettes you smoke gradually.  that's just stupid.  the people at http://www.smokeawaysupport.com/index.php? helped me a lot, and will help you too.  half of them don't even use the product the site is for.  you need to stop full force, all at once.  www.lungusa.com also has good resources, and even a lesson/regimen on quitting smoking.\n\nthings that helped me were drinking lots of cranberry juice, to combat the sudden eratic changes in my body's sugar levels.  halving my intake of coffee, as caffeine has a stronger affect on those bodies that are recouperating from loss of nicotine.  mental imagery helped me a little.  i started doing some simple excercises instead of smoking.  a craving lasts less than 30 seconds, the mind just draws it out longer, and can be quenched with a glass of water as easy as a cigarette.
