Take it one day at a time...What's the best advice you can give to someone who is about to quit smoking?
No matter how weird this may sound, always keep some cigarettes with you! The most difficult part of quitting smoking is when you know you CAN'T smoke; by always keeping some with you, you skip that part.
Stay focused on your goal,carry gum


or tootsie rolls on you. I did it, YEAH!
I quite three years ago and started smoking again just over a month ago. Sad I know, so I quit again three days ago. So far so good.





Know this, in that moment of weakness when you are trying to convince yourself that one drag or cigarette will be ok, know that it wont and you will be back to square one. Take one drag and you WILL take two.





Second thing is, if you make it to ten days you stand a 80% chance of seeing it through. It makes it a little easier if you have a definite goal in the not to distant future.
bin smoking 35 years 40 a day.


quit 7 days ago.


i am finding going for walks or riding my bike is helping.


just staying outdoors anything to keep myself busy.


give it your best shot good luck
read easy way by alan carr, i tried all kinds of methods to quit and i couldnt with any of them, as a last ditch attempt i tried the above mentioned book, i read it within 4 hrs and havent smoked since, good luck!
Show them the effects of smoking.
I have just packed in smoking my self and its not east as it sounds. I didn't have patch's i just said to my self am going to stop, i had to stay out of pubs and clubs of a while and i had to stay away from any one that smoked as you cant pack up when your friends smoke, I started a college course and that was a big help it took my mind of the fags, keep a pen in your hand so your fingers have some thing to hold, and hard sweets every time you want to smoke eat one. good look stick with it its worth it live longer and have a healthy life. GOOD LUCK.
do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…
Don't start smoking again!
theres many thing you acn do like firstly get rid of you cigs and i mean destroy them. get rid of your ashtrays., don't go anywhere people are smoking (pubs clubs outside work) and be brave you will win!!!
Everytime you want a ciggarette, drink a glass of water, the craving will go quickly after that. Good luck the first 3 days are ok, but its after that that can be tricky.
Good luck!


Keep a couple of cigs with you as said above.
first of all, that decision you have made was indeed a very wise one. now all you have to do is focus, and have the will to really quit. it may not be easy at first, but it is worth it.


gums, and candies could aid in your quitting, but remember, in order to succeed you must be whole hearted in doing so.
What are you waiting for?





If you can THINK about quitting smoking, then you can deffinitely quit smoking. Your journey to a new type of a freedom is about to begin. Its going to be a great ride.





One of the big rewards of quitting smoking is not just gaining better health. The best reward is the ability to be able to say, ';I don't smoke anymore!'; You will be amazed by the sound of those words when they come out of your mouth. It will make you feel like a brand new person.





Remember that this is not going to be an easy road. For a while, you will find so many childish ways to try and go back to smoking. Chances are that you probably will. But that's OK. Whatever happens, don't put yourself down for it. Look at it positively that you were able to stay away for those few days. You were able to provide your body with some badly needed respite from the smoking. Dont worry about it. Just go back to the drawing board again and try again. The average smoker goes back to smoking at least 5 times before finally giving it up.





When you stop smoking, your body and your mind will be transformed. It will require a very focused awareness to deal with these changes. Some of them may not be very pleasant at first. You might gain weight. You might become edgy and iritable. You may become moody. Some people actually become sick with caughs and colds. You might feel stressful, or experience total fatigue. You will experience things you have never experienced before. These are just your body's reaction to the withrawls of this sick habit. Your body and mind are going through cleasing of sorts. Sometimes that can bring out unusual senses. For example, your hearing may be different and certainly your sense of smell. Your taste will certainly be different, and so on.





The body has to become used to new things all of a sudden. This takes time. The idea therefore is not to be scared. Do NOT be afraid. Become aware of these new senses and experience the joy of this new change. This is your new freedom. It is the begging of a new journey. What are you waiting for?





Thats my advise to you! Good luck!
ignore each craving as they only last a few seconds and drink water when you want a cig.
tell them to stay strong %26amp; keep a note of how much money they are saving each week, that should spur them on x x
When my Grandfather quit smoking, he had the problem of what to do with his hands. He had got so used to handling cigarettes that his hands would always fidget. To solve the problem, he always carried a pen as a substitute for carrying a cigarette.





If you have a similar problem, do the same and carry a pen around to give your hands something to do. You may even use it to develop skills as a writer or drawer. If so, because you're occupying your mind with something different, you should hopefully soon forget your cravings.





I'm not sure on if any of this proves useful to you but there's no harm in trying :-)





In any event, the fact you want to quit smoking and giving it a go will always work in your favour :-)
four things will do it for you


1 stop now


2 pray about it


3 drink lots of water


4 never smoke another


God has never failed you
keep going! and be brave!

Think of your kids!
my friend went off buy cutting what she smoked per day in half each day.....by the end of the week she only had one left for the day......and NO.....she did not put on weight either.........if she felt like she had to have something in her hand or mouth.....she usually ate a carrot or a piece of celery. and she was able to even stop that too after a few weeks......just remember.....





YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU CAN DO IT! MY BOYFRIEND WAS A SMOKAHOLIC AND HE DID IT!
