How to quit smoking?!


Question:

How to quit smoking?

I've tried them all. Patch, inhaler things,cold turkey.
gum I thought of checking in to that laser treatment where they
do this deal with your ear,but my sister in law tried it and it didn't work. Any suggestions don't tell me about really wanting it. Nobody wants it more than I do. Help me breath.


Answers:

Quitting smoking is a lot of work, but definitely worth it in the end. At the substance abuse center I have worked in, we focus on triggers. Make a list of what triggers you to want a cigarette & then list what you can do when you feel those triggers. For example, when you're stressed you crave a cigarette but maybe you could go for a walk or watch your favorite movie. You could also try the patch or gum again and work hard to stick with it. Plus remind yourself of all the health benefits of quitting! There is a new medicine called Chantix which helps. It works by making you not feel any pleasure from smoking; however, this can backfire. There have been numerous studies showing the participants smoked more because they were seeking that pleasure. But it might work for you, if it's something you're interested in talk to your healthcare provider! Good luck!
