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!

No.  You have a physical addiction, like heroin.  \nYou may need to wean yourself off the drug (nicotine is a drug) with patches or gum.\nPrescription antidepressants like Wellbutrin can help also.\n\nhttp://www.anti-smoking.org/\n\nGood luck.  It will be worth the effort to quit.  I see too many people dying from their addiction.

I used the patch,it gives you so much nicotine a day to where you can quit gradully,but if you use it "DO NOT SMOKE",they are kinda high though,but if you figure how much you spend a year on cigs and how much you spend on the patches,you'd be surprised.

Yes it works!  I was getting it 3 or 4 times a week at first.  In Nova Scotia it's a free service provided by our government.   I peetered down to once a week and then stopped going.  I had been smoke free for 6 months.  When I stopped going to acupuncture and some stresses at home occured the smoking started again.  I am just resuming the treatments...  hopefully it will work.  My doctor suggested Welbutrin as the best option but it's an anti-depressant and I really don't want to start taking drugs that might alter how I will feel.

Emotional Freedom Technique- Accupressure. I've seen and heard of it's use. It does work on some people, but some not. Myself I just use Walbutrin. It takes care of the anxiety and I quit smoking, too. Thirty six days now. Expensive though. If you don't have insurance it's $120.00 If you do then it's only $20.00 for 30 pills. Non Habit forming , too.

the question is How addicted are you? I gave up by reading the book How to stop smoking and stay stopped for good by Gillian Riley. I went to the smoking cessation clinic who prescribed me patches and lozenges. It was hard, i know someone who could stop for days at a time yet couldnt completely give up! It is hard yet its well worth it and four years down the line i can have a fag every 6 months yet its just not the same, yet im £1000 a year better off and i dont cough and wheeze in the morning and the numb feeling in my toes has come back. My ex is looking at having his legs amputated as the blood flow and oxygen dosnt reach his toes, still he smokes. the sooner you give up the better. if i can do it you can too!

Check out the photos on this website of oral cancer... a picture speaks a thousand words.  If you're having a hard time stopping, see your family physician, there are some medications to help stop the craving for the tobacco.

I recommend using an alternative to the tobacco.  There are products out there that are meant to help you stop.  If you use snuff (Copenhagen, Skoal, etc.) you should try Hooch Snuff.  You can get it at http://www.hoochsnuff.com/.  It feels the most like real tobacco and will help you get out of the use of real tobacco.  If you use chew (Redman, etc.) it is a little more difficult as there are few products out there that can really mimic the tobacco.  \n\nOverall use of an herbal substitute (without nicotine) will reduce your withdrawl symptoms, but not the cravings for a dip / chew.  That will only take time.   Using nicotine replacement through herbal substitutes with nicotine, nicotine gum or patch, do not have as good a success rate as just plain herbal.

When I gave up smoking I took horseradish and garlic capsules and they loosened the congestion on my lungs and I was able to cough up all the phlegm and get rid of it quickly. They can be bought at a health food store or chemist. Hope this helps and good on you for giving up.

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.

Dear Friend, \n\nGood on you that you want to quit. YOU CAN DO IT!!! Can a smoker overcome the physical addiction and habitual behaviors of tobacco use? The answer is a resounding yes. Not only is quitting possible, but it is also highly beneficial. It is never too late to stop using tobacco. Quitting at any age and in any state of health improves one’s health.\nBecause no single condition leads to tobacco dependence, no single solution cures smokers of their dependence on cigarettes. Some people are able to quit smoking easily, while some find quitting so difficult that they do not quit even when facing tobacco’s serious health problems. Smokers who believe that quitting smoking will be easy or that God will make it easy for them may become disillusioned if they experience the normal withdrawal symptoms or if they relapse back to smoking. Therefore, it is wise for smokers to take time to plan this important change carefully and prayerfully.\n\nSuccessful treatment can include at least three components: (1) counseling and advice from a skilled, knowledgeable professional, with a focus on developing problem-solving skills, overcoming barriers to quitting, and preventing relapse; (2) support from friends and family members; and (3) the possible correct, careful use of legal stop-smoking medications, including nicotine replacement and other drugs tested for safety and effectiveness.\n\nA local hospital or clinic may offer a stop-smoking group, and a health professional may be able to provide expert advice about medications that can help ease the physical and emotional discomfort of withdrawal symptoms. A nicotine replacement medication helps control withdrawal symptoms over a period of weeks or months while the ex-smoker gradually becomes accustomed to living without tobacco. 11 Nicotine replacement products are not designed to replace nicotine permanently; rather, the ex-smoker tapers off the nicotine replacement medication over a period of weeks.\n\nThe least successful way to stop smoking is to try to quit all at once, or “cold turkey,” without any kind of help. Quitting this way may seem like a good idea at the time, but statistics show that only a very small percentage of those who attempt to quit this way will still be smoke-free a year later. The work of quitting smoking involves not only the initial actions of becoming tobacco-free, but also the lifetime task of remaining tobacco-free.\n\nCheers
