Tell the people you live and work with not to let you smoke, particularly if they're in a position of authority or don't like you. Eventually you won't be able to smoke anywhere you know people and quitting will become easier

Cold turkey.\n\nPlease visit http://www.whyquit.com and read about nicotine replacement therapy (gum, patch, etc.) to see why it doesn't work well.\n\nRead a few sections of "Why do people smoke?" and "How to quit smoking."  The site even tells you what to expect (accurately) during the surprisingly short physical withdrawal period and how to minimize the symptoms.\n\nVisit http://www.whyquit.com\n\nIt is really quite eye opening.

You can try this , cut back but be serious about it. if you smoke a pack go to half until you are use to it. then cut that in half again. do this until you can get to 1 cigarette a day and keep that routine for a year. Now , when you do one a day, you will have stressful days where more than one will seem needed. It's okay to smoke another as long as the next day you go back to just ONE! after a year of one a day, then go to one day off a week without any smoke. after that is easy for you , you are ready to try more days off, until you are without the craving. it's not the nicotine as many think , it's the actual act of smoking that stick that is hard to kick. you need to rehab yourself and time helps. you'll feel much better once your all through, and your skin and hair will show the improvement. God bless.

My dad quit cold turkey after smoking for over 50 years. If you have the willpower, that's the best way, but for most people, it's a hard thing to do. I suggest you ask your doctor, because there are many remedies out there that can help. There are also smoking sessation classes that you can attend. Check your local paper for events around your area. Good luck!

The following will work for you. 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: Don't have that one cigarette for the rest of your life!\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.

Lots of people swear by lots of things...the patch, hypnotism, etc.  I think cutting back is good, because your aren't obligating yourself to quit completely and immediately.  Things like lollipops can preoccupy you from smoking and help the "hand-to-mouth" addiction, I also recommend picking up mint toothpicks (little travel packs are available at health foods stores.)  Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor, either...he/she will probably be able to give you lots of excellent advice.  GOOD LUCK!

You have to TRULY want to stop to be able to succeed and then you need WILLPOWER.\n\nI used to smoke 40 a day and had been smoking for around 16 years. \n\nI had tried cutting down but that didn't work for me as I found myself getting desperate for the next "fix",,, and ended up pinching rations from the next days ciggies!\nDecided I wanted to stop cold turkey and I set a time and date for doing so. \nLast ciggie to be at 10pm Friday two weeks away. I then psyched (sp) myself up by saying, each time I smoked that I didn't really want this ciggie, it tasted awful, It made me smell...etc\n10pm that Friday I had my last ciggie....no more in the house and I have never smoked since....that was in 1982.\n\nI did read somewhere that drinking fresh orange juice helps to flush the nicotine from your body so I drank loads of that and also had some carrots to chomp on when I felt I wanted a ciggie, though in all honesty I didn't have that many.\n\nDoing it this way worked for me, it may not work for everyone, but I'm glad I did it. \n\nI wish you good luck which ever way you try....it can only be good for your health and your finances.

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.

Yes, I quit smoking over two years ago now. I smoked for about 7 years previously. How did I do it? Well, what worked for me was patches and counselling. Yeah, I can't think why anyone would want to try and quit any drug of dependence without some kind of assistance (especially nicotine). If you're a regular smoker, for example, you're going to go freaking nuts at times while the nicotine is exiting your system. At least get some patches, gum, or whatever so that you don't go mental! Also, you might want to ring a support number for quitters. I used Quitline in Australia. They helped enormously.

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.
