What's the best way to quit smoking?!


Question: What's the best way to quit smoking?
I'm 18 years old, i smoke maybe half a pack of cigarettes a day, and i've been smoking for about a year. i realize that it's a bad habit, and i just wanted to hear the best and most effective way to quit.

Answers:

The sooner you quit, the better. I smoked a pack a day for 5 years and tried quitting at least 40 times.

Cold turkey is the way to go. You have to be able to tell yourself you will never smoke even one puff ever again. When you can do that, you're ready to quit.

Also realize that you are going to go through a withdrawal for about a month. Since you've only smoked for a year it wont be too bad. I was physically sick, coughing up tar, felt like ****. the second you have a cigarette you feel instantly better.

Hardest thing I have ever done, its been almost 4 years without a smoke.



Stopping smoking is a pretty simple thing to do... in principle. Maybe because of it sounding so easy it catches people off guard and ultimately makes it much more difficult to quit.

There are a lot of products out there that can help you to stop smoking. Which is best for you depends on many factors and ultimately the only person that knows which is best for you is you.

The best thing to do when you are looking to stop smoking is to find out what options you have, and then decide which sounds best for you.

Here's a website that lists the different things that are out there to help you stop smoking.

Counseling, and counseling is always a pretty nebulous term, but there are quit lines across America (1-800-QUIT-NOW), which anybody can call and get the government services to help them to quit. What they'll do is give you coaching—one-on-one personalized, individualized coaching to help you to quit. And that has been shown to substantially quit rates.
The second action that has been shown to really increase quit rates is systematically identifying smokers when they present to health clinics in America, having a system in place in those clinics to help them to quit, and having it brought up every time they visit. We know that seven out of 10 smokers visit a primary care doctor every year, so those physicians have unequalled access to smokers.
The third scientifically proven therapy is medicine. All three of these are important, they work additively, each of them by themselves boost quit rates, but when you combine them it reallyboosts quit rates.



There is no easy way. Just lots of will power try and excercise to distract yourself and most importantly stop putting them in you mouth.
