Answers:
Try 3 deep breaths everytime you crave, When you smoke you inhale a lot of air too so this should trick your mind into releasing the endophinesWww@Answer-Health@Com
I quit 9 years ago,a after smoking for 20 years on and off!. It took me a whole year to quit, (on and off)!. I made up my mind to quit in January and I quit in early December!. ( I was "cheating" in between)!. For me the first week was the worst, if I recall correctly!. I gradually reduced the number of cigarettes i was smoking and when "cheating" I borrowed from a coworker who smoked a different brand!. That helped, because I didn't enjoy my smoke as much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Given up 3 times so far!.!.!.am back on them again! It usually takes me about a month to get over the worst!.!.!.Lord knows why I start again!. The last time that I stopped I found that using the nicotine puffers helped!.!.!.you know where you put a capsule into a cigarette holder!.!.!.I started again because the OH didn't give up I think!.!.!.too much temptation!.!.!.I will stop again though!. Don't get disheartened!.!.lots of people stop and start before they finally stop!.!.!.!.!.!.you could try cutting down!. We have stopped smoking in the house!.!.!.so if I am on the computer or watching something on TV I usually can't be bothered!.!.!.!.it's a start if you smoke less and less!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I gave up 15 months ago - it was a chest infection that made me decide I was stupid to go on - I did it with sheer willpower as I'd tried patches before and went back to smoking as much as ever when I'd done the course, I will admit to being very 'ratty' sometimes, but as soon as I realised how much money I was saving I was determined not to go back, also I now smell better - as soon as I go by someone who smokes I can smell them and it's not pleasant - it's only after all this time that I can honestly say I don't crave a ciggy - but after 30 a day for a long time I am very proud to say I AM A NON SMOKER - good luck ~x~Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well done !!! I stopped nearly seven years ago when I discovered I was pregnant!. That was the best way for me as I just thought of the baby and didn't want to harm it!.
I still think about having a cigarette now and again after all these years, but I won't!. Just keep going you are doing great !!! You will be amazed at the money you will be saving as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I smoked for 12 years, gave it up 7 years ago!. The key is to find what works for you!. I tried many things:
Cold Turkey
Acupuncture
Going to lower nicotine
Replacing with food
The patch
The gum
Herbal drops
Switching to herbal cigarettes (no nicotine)
Never tried any prescriptions but I'm sure I would have if they had been widely available then!.
What finally worked for me was making a bet with a friend!. It was only for $20 but knowing that I was accountable to someone made it really work!. We bet that I would not smoke until the end of the year (started in June)!. If I won, he would have to buy me lunch!. If I lost, I paid him $20!. Again, what worked for me was being accountable to someone who would ask me occasionally if I had a smoke (and I couldn't lie)!.
Good luck!.!.!.whatever you do, don't stop trying!. I seriously tried to quit over 100 times and not a day went by that I didn't think about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Get a nasty smokers lung picture for your bulletin board or whereever you'll see it most!. Also put the money you'd be saving into a jar so you can see how much money you are saving and then use it for something fun like a trip or buy something you've always wanted!.
Good for you, keep it up!. Physically the cravings will decrease!. You might always be tempted by it!. I quit 20 years ago and every once in a while I wonder what it'd be like to have a cigarrette again!. But I won't because it's gross and expensive!.
My cousin is 50 and just got diagnosed with esophageal cancer primarily caused by heavy smoking!. He's dying!. So think about your health first and foremost!. It's not too late!. Your lungs will pinken up again and you'll breath better, not have terrible stinky breath and clothes and your sense of taste, smell everything is better after quitting!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My boyfriend is in the process of quitting now!.!.!. he has been smoking for 4 yrs!.!.!. about a pack a day!.
He cut it down to about 5 a day and when he still couldn't knock the habit he went to the doctors for the pill!. Its called Chantix (!?) Its pretty expensive but today is day 11 that he hasn't smoked and he loves it!.
How it works: You smoke like you normally would while taking it, and by the end of the first week you'll see a dramatic difference!. Cigarettes started tastes really nasty and hurting his chest every time he would smoke!. Now he hates the smell of them!. Although he still craves them, its such a small craving he can easily push himself through it!
I definitely recommend it!.!.!.theres about a 65% success rate but if your ready to quit i think that this could definelty work for you! Good luck!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
