Seriously how do you quit smoking?!


Question: Seriously how do you quit smoking!?
The problem isn't so much during the day its a night time!. I just really enjoy a glass of wine and a cigarette but I hate what I'm doing to my body, skin, hair etc etc etc!. I hate the fact that I enjoy smoking (if that makes sense)!. I can go all day even all week without having a smoke and it wont bother me at all!. But as soon as I go down the pub and the wine is cracked open I light up!. It's such an awful habit and I always regret doing it in the morning when my throat hurts and my chest feels tight so why do I continue to do it!? I've tried to not smoke when i'm out and it just doesn't feel right!. I feel naked, uncomfortable and awkward without a cigarette!. How do I stop!?!. Do patches really work or are they just a scam!? And that nicotine inhalator thing nearly blew my head of last time I tried that!!! - disgusting!Any ex-smoker advise welcomed!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

buy fireworks instead, you'll soon stop smokingWww@Answer-Health@Com

It would be easy to say "just stop" but seeing as I'm a smoker will try and help!.
Here is my experience;patches:Can't keep one on for longer than 10 minutes because they itch like a b*tch!.
Chewing gum:TASTES LIKE SH*T!.

havn't tried the inhaler thing, i'd give that a try if I were you!.

Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I used to smoke too, and this might be an unhelpful answer but one day I just!.!.!. stopped! I stopped buying them and for a while I stopped going to the places where I used to smoke them (pubs/bars etc) It's really hard, I know, but if you're really determined you CAN do it! Just stop buying them!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

That's the problem!.!.!. you enjoy it!. When you're ready to quit, you won't smoke anymore!. No patches or gum or anything will work until you no longer want to smoke!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

As an ex smoker - DON'T GO TO THE PUB - go somewhere else - somewhere where you can't smoke - if you can go all week without a ciggie - you lose your willpower in front of others!. Remove that part from the equation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

try pickin up a better habit to replace smoking like chewin gum or mentos somethingWww@Answer-Health@Com

Give up fags and stop being a sheep!. you dont have to smoke just because others are doing it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Get pregnant!.!.its how I had to stop!!
Just limit yourself daily, start with eliminating 2 cigs a day from your norm!. then the next week take off 4 cigs from your norm!.!.!.and so on and so on!.!.!.if you have to hang on to those last two cigs a day for a month then so be it atleast you came that far right!?!? You will get use to not having them all the time and they will soon get real strong for you and you will only be able to handle maybe a half a cig!.!.then get down to maybe smoking on one cig all day just a puff here and there to get you thru and then just chew gum in between cigs and you will eventually go a day with out smoking then maybe slip up then it will be strong then, you will be able to go a week with out it!.!.!.if this doesnt work for you I had a friend who got hypmotized for $40 and she never smoked again, granite she did gain about 20lbs but if you excersize it will keep that off, but it worked for her and her husband!. Also if you really want to quit and beleive in God!.!.pray about it!.!.he will help you though it!. Cigs are just too expensive its wise to quit!. Good Luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Speaking from experience!.!.!.!. I've not had a cig for a year now!.!.!. and i was a proper 20 a dayer! could easily smoke 20 if out for an evening at the pub!.

Firstly you have to really wanna give up!.!.!.!. then get hypnotised!. I found it really easy!. Everytime i wanted a cig I took a deep breath and the craving went!.

The thing i found most difficult was, what do you do when your waiting for something, smoking was a very good time filler!. Smoking is also an identity!.!.!.!. it's who you are!.

I've come to terms with it now, i don't miss it at all, but other smokers really annoy me now, especially when everyone is always going outside for a cig!. It Bugs me! and i hate the smell!. I'm such a hypocrite ha!

When i first gave up I'd go outside with the others and get them to blow smoke on me, now I'd kick off!.

Get hypnotised, i recommend it!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I quit smoking March 10th this year!.

The thing I found hardest was to break the habit of smoking whilst driving, as the first thing I'd do when I got in my car, was light up!. Once I cracked that, it was pretty easy, and I haven't looked back since!.

Try cutting down to only having half a cigarette, instead of a full one!.

Also, set a date for when you think you could stop!. I made my date about a fortnight ahead!.

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
