How Can I Permanently Stop Smoking?
I’ve been smoking for about 3-4 years now.
I have maybe like a pack or 2 every 3 days.
I smoke like 7-13 cigarettes in a day I’m not sure tho.
I get a feeling in my throat sometimes, rarely it doesn’t hurt or anything like that.
I haven’t tried nicotine patches or gum.
I can’t keep myself busy, when I’m bored I smoke.
After I eat I smoke.
And every mourning about a hour or two later I have a smoke.
I want to quit so I can save money and be healthy agian.
Can anyone please if they no a secret or steps or anything like that, I don’t want to do something crazy and buy a whole bunch or product to help you quit smoking, I want to quit before it’s to late.

It takes more of a will power to quit smoking. Those products are of no help if you are not willing. I’m at the same state as you. I can see my money being wasted on these stupid sticks that I don’t even want yet I need them. so yeah it does get frustrating.
I’ve used nicotine patches , I worked , but after I stopped I started smoking again . Soon i realized , I didn’t want to stop at all. Ciggerates serve as a partner to smokers, when we’re alone, bored or anything , all we can think of is smoking. right?
Anyways , try these.
1. Fix a date from when you are ready to stop till your target date to totally stop.
2. Star cleaning the closet. Wash , perfume , throw all the clothes that might have smell of your ciggs.
3. Throw away all ash-trays.
4. Avoid people who smoke. or second hand smoking.
5. Your cravings now will get even more, so roll a paper and pretend that you are smoking(not in public). Or get those nicotine chewing gums to help you for a while.
6. Now that your cravings are even more then ever, start a hobby. Start sketching or graffiti writing or take a loooooooooooooooonggg jog. Avoid watching someone smoking on TV.
7. No matter how much you wanna smoke, tell yourself NO. jsut another hour , keep saying that untill you feel comfortable.
I advise you to get some patch , for extra help. You need extremely strong will power to stop smoking. The addiction won’t go away , you have to push it away. And furits help a lot. eat a looot of fruits if you feel like smoking. Just do healthy things.
I can guarantee you , that you can’t quit smoking on the first attempt , so first try lowering the amount of smoking. I used to smoke right after I opend my eyes , now I only smoke before starting work. you can do something similar. Smokers need to smoke after a meal , so maybe you can start cutting that out and gradually you’ll improve.
These are some personal adivce. I ‘vnt suceeded yet , I hope you do.
=D

The only way that really works is just to quit cold turkey. When you do this, there’s something called the “3-day hump”. For the first 3 days it’s gonna be unbearable, you’re gonna have cravings like crazy, but that’s the nicotine working its way out of your system… it takes 3 full days for your body to get rid of it. It gets alot easier after that, but that’s the best way to do it.
I know the patches, gum, and all the other stuff sound like great ideas, but they don’t really work. They have nicotine in them, so basically you just torment your body… it never has a chance to rid itself of the toxin (nicotine). Anyway, I wish you luck, I’ve been down that road, and It’s hard as hell, but it’s worth it in the end. There are quite a few stop-smoking support websites out there, and you can find some really good info. You just have to have the willpower to put em down and walk away in the end… you gotta really want it.

You have to be sick and tired of being sick and tired. You have to be really serious about quitting, and not “just because it’s expensive”. I mean, you have to get rid of them completely, not “slow down”, and just STOP!. I smoked for 36 years, a pack a day, and until I started to feel absolutely SICK from smoking, I never really quit. I tried probably 15 times, and I just GOT SICK OF IT! That is the only way your going to quit, to be completely ready. Then, you don’t need gum or patches, or anything else, you just want to taste your food, and breathe your air.

My dad smoked until the Surgeon Generals report came out in the sixties and he quit becasue of the evidence of the damage smoking causes. I, on the other hand, started when I was twelve and at age 42 am still smoking. I have quit in the past, I know I can quit,I just start smoking because of the stress because in my life, I do not feel I have anyone I can be rely on for the difficulties I face .So logically, to stop smoking permanently, just never have a smoke again, Emotionally and habitually, you may need a support system

Perhaps you could investigate a web search for “nicorette activestop”.

You can try e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes do not contain carbon monoxide, tar, and the many other dangerous components that cigarettes do. You can also control the amount of nicotine you take in, thereby enabling you to wean yourself off, avoiding the problem of withdrawal symptoms from the nicotine.
