I really need to quit smoking. Could anyone give some suggestions that worked for them.?

I will read them all and take your advice seriously.


Answers:

First you have to realize smoking is more mental then physical. 1. Decide 4 weeks in advance of a quitting day and stick to it. 2. Get rid of your lighter use matches instead, 3. Set up a place to smoke in one place only, 4. Change cigarettes down to a lower tar and nicotine,5. Do not have cigs with in easy reach, place them in a drawer 6. Put cig in opposite hand , change fingers too if necessary. 7. Do not light up that first cigarette until U R up for an hour and have had at least a slice of toast, then wait 15 minutes the first week after you have eaten to have a cig, then each week add fifiteen minute 8. During the day as you start having less and less nicotine, U will start feeling a little wrung out, drink 100% Pure Juice as a pick me up 9.after every healthy meal wait the times I have described above. 10.
when you decide to go to bed make sure you have your last cig and hour before you go. You my have to change you morning drink that You usually assoiciate with you cigs for a while if you can not, do not have them together, have either one first wait fifteen minutes and then have the other, but not together, You are tryin to break some old habits. The more you think about each cig the more you know when and why you choose to smoke it at that particuar time. If you can break the mental habits the easier it will be. The actual physical addiction is 3- to five days. Find things to keep you hands busy. As the weeks progress you will lengthen the time between each cigarettes from fifitem minutes,to half and hour to 45 minutes and then an hour. I want you to conciously write down each cig and the time you had it. By the time you are on your last week, you R more then ready. The day and night before your quit day smoke all you want and remember to follow the wait rules for the first cig of the day and after meals and bed time. On that last night get rid of ashtrays, matches and any left over cigs before you go to bed. Drink plenty of Bottles of water. You can do this. If you pray ask God to help.
