you should not have a problem since you have bot smoked that long. get some nickoret gum and throw the cigarettes away and tell your self that you're finished with them. you have to tell your self that you are stronger than a pack of cigarettes.

If you smoke cigarettes, first off, stop. If not, smoke some marijuana, that seems to help me with any minor problems I've ever had.

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.

Short answer?\n1. Stay off nicotine - there are plenty of methods to stop the addiction, but pick one.\n2. Fill your system with good stuff: clear air and healthy food. Do this by taking deep breaths and exhaling completely, and eating only healthy foods (including snacks) for at least a week.\n3. Get plenty of vitamin C, which is supposed to specifically help you rid yourself of nicotine. Take some vitamin C tablets and/or foods with vitamin C. As with any vitamin, don't overdose.

Don't give in to them!  I found it helped me get through by telling myself that I could smoke as many as I wanted tomorrow and that I just had to get through today.  When tomorrow came I would say the same thing.  It was really hard to start with and so tempting to just have a cigarette, but after a few weeks the cravings had gone completely.  \n\nI found that counting days, then weeks and finally months gave me a mental milestone to say I'd reached.  I have not smoked for 16 months now, but I still tell myself that I can have another cigarette 'another day' if I really want one.  \n\nI know it's dreadful at the moment but if you stick with it it will be worth it. Just one little piece of advice that you can ignore if you like...try not to replace gigs with food or alcohol.  I did this to start with and put on over 14lbs!  I've lost it again now, but if someone had told me that advice 16 months ago I'd have been grateful!\n\nGood luck!

start by telling your immediate family you want to quit smoking so they are aware of your withdrawal from the nicotine.\nstart by going to the doctor, get patches , nicabate or something similar..sit down and start a diary, write down everything that is in your head.. when and if you feel like a cigarette, walk outside pull weeds out of the garden for 15 minutes or go have a shower or go for  a drive, clean the car..anything to keep busy. the first 3 weeks is the toughest in that you have to break old routines.. lighting a "fag" before you get the evening dinner ready,,etc etc.\nthrow the left over cigarettes in the bin. This is a true committment..be prepared to feel sick like flue symptoms and expect to feel head achey, tired etc..dont give in every 15 minutes you will crave but dont give in ..chew chewys..etc..make a call to the quit line as well they are good for support. good luck..

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.

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.

Quitting smoking is not an easy task. Just like other additctions the person(s) must really want to quit. That is the first step. Then, trying the patch or the gum. If one can't use them, then everytime you want a cigarette, you wait until as long as you can. Believe me this will help reduce the amount of cigarettes and can eventually lead to quitiing. Finally, if all else fails, quit cold turkey! Since smoking is a hand and mouth thing. Try just holding the cigarette and chewing some gum or sucking on hard candy.

1. decide you want to quit\n2. get patches, they work 8-10 week program\n3. alter behaviour and watch for triggers, (things which make you really want a cigarette)\n4. take it a day sometimes an hour at a time\n5 set up reward system\n6. Do some research on what transpires in a body even in the first 12 hours of stopping the smokes.  \nFinally:  The body and systems are very forgiving and rejuvenate themselves towards healing.  It is amazing to smell, taste, and not stink,,,,\n\none who knows,,,

I'm there with you! I actually quit about 2 months ago, and then 2 weeks ago I was under a lot of stress and started back up again. I kept smoking one or two a day and kept telling myself, I'm not smoking again, I'll quit tomorrow, but I haven't. I think that you really, really have to want to quit. Not for your family, or your health, but just because you don't want to do it anymore. My dad, who is 54, quit a few weeks ago, and he has smoked since he was 16. He is using the patches. I'll pray for you and you pray for me! Good luck!

Smoking is a tough addiction to quit. The key to stopping is the personal desire to stop. If your mother doesn't have that desire she won't. To help her learn all you can about addiction. You might want to joint a support group to help you. Good luck to you both.

First thing is encourage him and give some self confidence to quit the smoking. After that tell him what are the problem when smoking and advantages of quitting smoking. then say the way. Some easy way is ask him to use whenever willing to smoke means chewwing gum, and tablet is available it gives the effect of smoking. ask him to take medidation. when mind is ask to smoke take small pencil and imagine that it is cigarrete and smoke it. definitely he will stop the smoking habit. ok all the best try these tips now itself my dear friend.

Stop cold turkey. I quit 3 years ago without the gums or patches. Both of those have nicotine which keeps you addicted and will lead you back to smoking. My sister has been trying to quit using those types of aids for nearly 6 years now, and she is still smoking. It will be hard for the first few days, but then the nicotine is out of your system. Have some willpower!!

Cold turkey is the only way.  Cigarettes have been proven to be more addictive than heroine but you can quit.  I did--10 years ago after smoking for 26 years and my husband also did after smoking for 34 years.  For me, I realized that I was more addicted to the oral fixation part.  I simply quit lighting the cigarettes.  This way, I could go through the motions of smoking (holding, puffing, flicking pretend ashes and blowing no smoke out) and still get rid of the addiction.  It was weird in a way because people would ask me if I needed a light and I would say, "No thanks, I don't smoke." even though I had the cigarette in my hand.  It took a year (the carton lasted that long) but I have no desire to smoke anymore.  My husband, on the other hand, went to a religious convention one weekend and purposely left his cigarettes at home.  He never smoked again.\n\nWhich brings me to a second point--it really helps to be seriously motivated and include prayer in your struggle.  Both of us did this and feel it would have been much harder (maybe impossible) if we hadn't.
