There's a trial there if anyone needs a quick aid to help quit smoking easier. Hope this helps.

You might talk with your doctor about nicotine replacement therapy, and which would be best for you. Patches, inhalers, gum, etc. But NRT is only part of the picture; will power is the rest of it. It's great when you are making this decision to quit for yourself, and someone isn't making it for you.

Quitting smoking is just as life altering as becooming a smoker. There are new patterns, habits and sensations to get used to. The key to successful is that you must have a desire to quit. You can't do it because someone else wants you to. Since you have that desire, I suggest you set a quit date. Say, a week or two from now. You started smoking slowly, so stop smoking slowly. Study your current smoking patterns, and eliminate the more unnecessary cigarettes. Slowly keep doing this until you are down to smoking a few a day, leading up to your quit date. As you start smoking fewer cigarettes, avoid bingeing, or trying to enhance a cigarette to make up for a missing one. With each cigarette, keep thinking to yourself, how awful the cigarette really is. Think of it as forcing yourself to smoke it. Keep thinking: "its disgusting", "I don't want them anymore", "I don't need this", etc. The re-enforcing mental image will help you forget the psychological dependence, and you'll only be smoking for physical need. It will help in reducing the number of cigarettes smoked each day. It may also be helpful to confide in someone. You can give them a daily update, share your feelings, and feel that you have an obligation to that person. They should be supportive, re-enforcing you decision, which only helps you keep focused on quitting. You can also keep a list of reasons why you want to quit. Read the list when you're tempted to have an extra cigarette. It may give you the courage and the desire to maintain the level you're at that day.

Once you reach the evening before your quit date, as you're going to bed, get rid of any cigarettes you still have. Don't just throw them away; destroy them, so you won't be tempted to retrieve them the next morning. I won't explain what nicotine withdrawal is like, I think you already know about that. It will be nasty for about 5 days. But, it will pass.

Nicotine patches are certainly no substitute for a good old cigarette hanging between the lips! But, patches are very helpful in curbing nicotine cravings, and therefore reducing withdrawal symptoms, when you can't smoke, or are trying to quit smoking. I used them in 2006 when I last tried to quit. I think patchs are the only reason I made it to Day 4 before I caved in. Today, I still use them on occasion, when I know in advance that I will have to go for long periods without a cigarette.

Patches come in 7, 14, and 21 mg doses. It is very very important that you do not wear a patch and smoke at the same time; you could get a nicotine overdose. If you decide to quit, I would suggest starting out wearing a 21 mg patch throughout the day, and work down from there. The 21 mg patch may be too strong for you to sleep with, try sleeping with a 7 mg patch, which may also be too strong.

Good luck!

Hi ! In first place let me congratulate you for that decision! that is the first and most important thing to start: the resolution of having a non smoking life.

The difficulty of stopping the habit depends on how addicted to nicotine your body is, the situations were you smoke, or the events that make you smoke more. In all cases, what you need is a lot of self-control at the beginning, as time passes, believe me, you will find it easier to keep in track because your body will not demand for the drug.

First: stop smoking, nor even one more! throw away the cigarettes in the house, buy some chewing gum (sugarless), every time you feel the need to smoke... have a piece of gum instead; start taking vitamin C every day, fresh orange juice is a good source but in this case you'll need higher concentrations, so, get some in the drugstore, vitamin C drives oxygen to your blood and helps get rid of nicotine after quiting; drink a lot of water and exercise- walking works well; avoid situations that make you nervous and in need of nicotine; find something to do with your hands! ask your friends not to smoke beside you, it's more difficult to quit if your friends smoke! But first of all, keep you conviction and self determination!

There's a large amount of sites, devices, patches, nicotine gum and pills that offers to help, but, in my experience, the only thing that helped and encourage me to stop was: the conviction that I wanted to live for my family, knowing of real people who died due to cancer and other diseases related to smoke and watching pictures of the damage cigarettes can make to our body. Now, after 18 years without nicotine in my body I can say: I did it! I'm free of that stinking habit!

As I did, you can make it too! just don't stop believing in yourself! :)
