How to give smoking up?

[rison]

Start chewing gums....it helps so you dont have to think,"I need a cigarette".

If this doesnt work.Then think about your long term health problems....Lungs paticularlly.I was a chain smoker the it came to a time I couldnt sleep face down.It always felt as if my lungs were gong to fall out.They were so heavy due to increased weight by smoke.

Also you might find breathing difficult depending on bodily functions...happened to a friend of mine.

dude you gotta just tough it out man - it takes a lot of willpower but if you have truly decided to give up then you should have it ! plus definitely exercise becasue you will most probably put on weight when you quit so ya gotta make sure you keep knocking it off !

I drank a monster every time I wanted a cigarette, it helped, wasn't exactly that healthy, but it was better than smoking.

Three words.

"Just stop it!"



Simple as that. You'll quit before you know it.

Easy for everyone to tell this person all this, but in the end it's all up to them. I quit the habit a while back took alot to get on track but something that is a fact you are able to break almost any habit in 30 days.

It is so easy for non smokers to tell you just quit or it is will power. Truths is the addiction nicotine gives you plus the power of the habbit itself is the hardest thing in the wrold to break apart from.

I smoked for over 20 years and I tried everything to quit. Gums, patches, sucking on a straw...we smokers know all the tricks that should help us. Nothing would beat that satisfaction that a smoke gives you. Like the other guy in the previous post I tried Chantix too and in 2 weeks I quit smoking. With me, my wife as well used Chantix and quit smoking as well.
I had convinced my mother to use that medicine too (a 40 year smoker), unfortunately the week before she was supposed to start using it, they found her a small cell lung cancer, which is the smoker cancer, one of the deadliest cancers around. She lived 4 months after she was diagnosed.

I don't know about that. My wife and I quit after 2 weeks of using it with no problems. Instead sigarettes killed many relatives and friends of mine...
Before discoraging people who needs to get away from a deadly habit count up to 10, then shut up anyway.

You have to set your mind that you're really quitting and a lot of willpower. Find something else to do instead of smoking like chewing a gum and ask support from your family and friends. They can help you to stay focused.
