Quitting Smoking....?!
Question: Any tips? We have been cutting down all week, and tomorrow will be our last one. We can't afford to buy the patch and gum, we also can't afford to buymore packs, lol, which will help with the quitting. But does anyone know any tips or hints to make it easier, so we don't try to kill each other!

If you have already cut down and are at the last day then you have done it. Congratulations. The important part was reducing the nicotine levels. The hard part is over.
The rest is to break the habit of ... do you smoke after eating, do you grab a cig when you wake up. Make yourself find something to do in place of that routine. Chew gum and hold a pencil or some other object in your hand. Get rid of all ashtrays and most importantly don't be around others who smoke. The temptation will get to you.
Happy times ahead.....food will taste better, you will no longer stink to others, you will breathe better and you will become a healthier person.
Keep yourself busy but not to the point where you stress yourself out (hobby).
think of its ill effects
Wellbutrin worked very well for me. I went from 3 packs a week to zero in a couple of months.
am trying to quit smoking but its not that easy i used to smoke 2 packs of cigs a day know only 2cigs a day so try to stop like slowly
I haven't smoked in almost 4 years. I slowly cut down to where I only took one hit and didn't inhale. I just felt it was so pointless. I also imagined myself eating wet, half-smoked cigarette butts. Or licking ashes out of butt-filled ashtrays. It got rid of my cravings.
The hardest part is the first 3-7 days. This is when the withdrawal occurs. The patch and gum is no good because you still stay addicted to nicotine. After the initial withdrawal period the urge to smoke is a mental withdrawal and not a physical one. You need to reprogram yourself to do the things that you did while smoking without the smoking if that makes any sense. Things like drinking and driving (not at the same time mind you), after a meal, working on the computer etc. Keep something in your mouth like chewing gum or a toothpick. Beside that just think of all the money you will save and the energy boost you will receive! Good luck!
Well I just quit, im going on my 2nd month....My true advice would be to... just quit...Its too hard when you have that one a day thing I tried, it wont work....COLD TURKEY...Also gum works or jolly ranchers..Good luck
Well, then you are quitting! I'm not sure what your question is, if you've no access to nicotine!
In all seriousness, I /fully/ quit nicotine about a year ago now, used the chewing gum while still having an occasional cigarette, weaning my self down to none.
My blood-pressure is down, and breathing is a bit better, i.e. no more "smokers-cough." Appetite did go up, but not much.
It's the first three weeks that are the hardest in quitting tobacco.
Here, a year later, I see someone with a cigarette and they are as foreign objects - kind of a neat feeling to have mastered them.
sport will help you and fresh vegetables and fruit but really one thing could support u your insistence who would like to quit will quit iam sure of that
maybe this article can help you. it helped me and my bf quit. good luck!
