What is the best way to quit smoking?!


Question: What is the best way to quit smoking?
I'm 22 and have smoked ever since i was 18. I am a socially sensitive person (self-counscious, no self-confidence, easlily hurt, hate uncomfortable eyecontacts, always dont know what to say....you name it!) so i get really stressed out when i have to face all the people in school and smoking has always been my only way of relaxing. Like all smokers i know smoking is very bad for me, and like most smokers i have wanted to quit for a long time but havent been able to. More than my other smoking friends, tobacco has effected my health in a really obvious way already. I get constant heart aches, my voice is always dry, i get head aches, throat pains and lately i got bronchitis. Even though, i still cant quit. I have tried exercising but if i move too much i cant breathe. I feel like i really need thoses freaking ciggs to make it through each day. So what should i do? I cant quit or take a yr off from school it is really not an option. More confidence? Dont think that i havnt tried.

Answers:

Try a combination of the prescription drug Zyban with either the gum or the patch. Also, you might wait to stop when school is on break. Good luck to you, and don't get discouraged.



I smoked for 10 years but have recently kicked the habit for more than a year. Unfortunately, the old standby techniques work best. Don't date or hang out with people who smoke. Don't go to bars that are smokey. Try carrying around candy and gum with you constantly. Also carry a pad and pencil to doodle with. This will help control the smoking "muscle memory."



Try the electronic cigarette. Someone at work uses it and he used to be a pack a day smoker. It looks and tastes real, is not expensive, you still inhale and exhale, but its only water vapor and some nicotine so you don't inhale all the harmful chemicals.



just stop. Tell yourself "i don't smoke" and never have one ever again.

this is what i did. i smoked for 20 years. It was tough but i wanted to stop so i did. i refused to be a slave to smoking. my lifes much better now



I stopped cold turkey - succeeded the second time. Haven't smoked for 15 years now.
At first the smell of a freshly lit cigarette always got to me. that lasted for a few monthe, but I never missed the smell of ashtrays or clothes smelling of stale smoke.



chew gum instead



get locked up in jail
