dont start! ha ha ................. tell yourself your a non smoker not a ex smoker..... throw them down, dont buy anymore.. you probably made a childish decision and began smoking ( as a kid ), so make an adult decision and toss 'em..... add up the money yearly spent on them, esp. since u began and the amount will kill ya, u burned several thousand dollars i'm sure.. then take the same amount of money and plan what to do with it over the rest of your life not spending it on smoke.
I know I'm new to this but I gave up on Monday and am using patches. I thought it would be much worse than it is. It really seems to work
An ex of mine quit cold turkey and chewed a lot of gum.... she kept her mouth busy. LOL
Rub chili oil on the tips of all your ciggarettes when you first get them from the shop.
The tip you put in your mouth of course.
yea, I started taking an EMT class and in our books is pictures of what it does to your lungs, heart, and other organs, its terrible. Seeing that will make you want to quit, trust me.
exercise...when i went to the gym everyday it became a burden to smoke. now that i stopped going and just sit in my cubicle again everyday i picked it right back up. i gotta sign up again
I gave up when I had a really bad flu that lasted 2 weeks. I couldn't smoke when I was sick and when I got better, I just didn't feel like smoking anymore.
Climb 5 floors, that should give you a V8 knock.
Look up Chantix.com
I have known only one person that quit smoking completely. Or I should say have complete knowledge of it and know it happened. He quit smoking when I was 13 and until the day he died, 36 years later, he said he was still was wanting a cigarette so bad!! He said the craving never went away. Oh it was my father. So I still smoke because I would rather die than want something so bad for so long........................
He did it cold turkey.
I'm working on it........one day at a time.
There are many methods, each works differently. My mother gave up smoking for each of her 5 pregnancies (cold turkey). So, when she tried to quit later, her body told her it was ok, temporarily. She tried patches and gums. The most effective method, was the buddy system. This is when my dad quit smoking (and never started again). They did it together. Plus, when you see those commercials for patches, gums, and medicines, the disclaimer reads "success rate is higher with a support group". My mother also uses prayer and meditation. So far she hasn't relapsed and it's been at least 2 years. (her last relapse occurred when my dad died after 7 years of not smoking)
One more thing. Avoid other people who smoke. The smell of smoke will get you started again.
if possible have your picture taken while you are inside a coffin pretending to be dead together with lots of cigarette inside in which you and the cigarette are visible and have that picture blow up and put that in an area where you will always see it
