What the best way to quit smoking?!
Question: What worked for you? My fiancee has been deployed for a little while and I have started smoking while he's gone. Kind of a lonely, depressed thing to do. He knows this, but I want to quit totally before he comes home in a few months.

cold turkey, definitely. Especially given that you've only done it for a few months.
You could try smoking much more than usual the day before, preferably on an empty stomach to give yourself an aversion.
Once you've stopped, just remember that one more cigarette makes it that much harder to stop. And think of yourself as a 'non-smoker,' not an ex-smoker or someone that might light up with friends or after drinking.
Take up a cardiovascular exercise like jogging. This helps relieve stress and your lungs feel so much worse after smoking when your jogging that it's one more reason not to.
i bought a big bag of sunflour seeds. and packs of gum. and lollipops. bcuz nobody wants to eat cold turkey every 20 minutes.
you have to completely quit, throw all of them out, and find a new habit that can replace smoking. also, dont think that after a few weeks its over. ive quit for as long as 6 months, but somehow i alway start back up again. smoking sucks.
My father who quit smoking at age 60 once told me that he owed his success to taking a long smoke-free flight. The flight took 13 hrs long, once he arrived, he told himself since he could go 13hrs without a cigarette, he could go a day and a night. The next day, he arrived at his smoke-free friends' house, he was busy catching up with them, never gave smoke a thought. The next thing he knew he hadn't smoked for a whole week. He never picked it up again.
He started smoking since he was 14, that was the first time he ever tried to quit, and he was successful. Nevertheless he was never able to quit drinking his entire life.
You have to really want to quit. Most smokers really don't. They enjoy smoking. It's a great pleasure to smoke. I know because I loved it too. You won't really quit until your reason for doing so is greater than the pleasure of smoking.
For some people, that reason is their health. For others its a significant other who does not smoke. For others....well, who knows?
Once you're ready and have a reason to quit, then it's cold turkey all the way!

turkey. It worked for me, just quit.
