    Maybe try visiting the oncology (cancer) ward at your local hospital. I gave up cold turkey as the patches and tablets never worked for me. Good luck with it.

    I used to go skimboarding or bike riding every morning when I got up.
    After breathing so hard for so long I would not smoke the rest of the day.
    Of course I smoke again but since I just moved two blocks from the beach I can try it again.

    From personal experience nothing will work except if you have a determined will to quit!!

    My friends tried everything,and i mean everything,but nothing worked caz they weren’t really ready yet and weren’t determined enough…

    But some of them quit now without using anything….just caz they had will and determination!

    I quit smoking 2 years ago. Before that, i tried all those “magic cures”, even invented ones, without any positive result though. I only managed when i had to move to another country, and i had such a long trip without having the permision to smoke. I stayed about 36 hours with no cigarette and from that point it became less and less difficult. I quit drinking coffee too and I started to drink more water and natural juice

    If you really want to quit, when you realize this one is your last, what you absolutely have to always remember is this; You are rewarding yourself by NOT smoking! How can allowing yourself to have a cigarette possibly be any form of a reward. And if you stick it out for the first 30 days, you’ll be constantly reminded of the reward you have given yourself. A brand new life. afterall the body is the temple of the mind. But don’t take my word for it….no no no!

    remember this. N T A P and this is a title of a book in adobe acrobat form and it’s out here in cyberspace. it means NeverTakeAnotherPuff! Find it. Download it. Read it. It’s absolutely free. The author is the authority on this issue. He very simply breaks down how nicotin effects your body. And what your body is doing as it adjust to a life without nicotin. If you replace nicotin with nicotin, you have not taken any steps toward interrupting the addiction to nicotin.
    The most effective way to stop is simple…, “use your head”

    Okay, here’s what you do, it worked for me and I used to smoke 2 packs a day for 42 years now I have not smoked for 4 1/2 years.

    Make up your mind to quit

    Stay away from areas where you smoke (especially at work)

    Tell everyone you know that you are quitting smoking (peer pressure)

    If you have a craving, get up stretch, walk around have a glass of water

    Reward yourself for every day you don’t smoke, anything, a pat on the back, an extra piece of candy (not in excess), anything that makes you feel good

    Tell everyone you know every day that you haven’t smoked

    You will be surprised how fast it goes by, I went from telling everybody 3 days, 4 days, 3 weeks, 2 months, to 2 years, 3 years and then just stopped telling them, they were getting tired of it anyway, they believed me after 3 years that I really quit smoking. Hey its not easy, I still have a craving and a cigarette sure sounds good once in a while but it goes away quickly so give it your best shot it will do you wonders for your health and your pocketbook.

    stay away from other people who smoke. find a healthier wway to relieve anxiety.

  • Ooshies says:

    i personnaly think that autosuggestion works really well, tell yourself you can do it until you believe it. of course this will not work alone. try decreasing the amount you smoke the first 3 days by one cigarette then by 2 etc…
    it works

    This method works for me and is the only money back guaranteed.
    I quite smoking 2 years ago

    Get the Facts
    Easyway, founded by Allen Carr in 1983, has the highest independently verified 12-month success rate (75.8% for a smoker completing the program) of any quit smoking technique and a 90% satisfaction rating.

    Compare Easyway to other methods and see for yourself why Easyway is called “The Cadillac of quit smoking methods.”

    The Allen Carr Method
    HOW THE METHOD WORKS

    Using psychotherapy, the method works in the opposite way to the “willpower” method. It does not concentrate on the reasons the smoker should not smoke : the money, the slavery, the health risks and the stigma. Smokers know all that already. Instead it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.

    It is fear that keeps smokers hooked!

    Fear the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Fear the smoker will be unable to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear the smoker will have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear the smoker will never get completely free from the craving.

    The Method removes these fears
    Smokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted….

    TO BE FREE!

    What about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?

    The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most smokers don’t realise that they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try and quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.

    The Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation.
    It removes the need and desire to smoke. Once the smoker is in the right frame of mind and they follow the simple instructions, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.

    No Gimmicks!

    The Method does not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhilators or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment!

    The Allen Carr Method is successful because:

    It removes the smokers’ conflict of will.
    There are no bad withdrawal pangs.
    It is instantaneous and easy.
    It is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers.
    You need not gain weight.
    You will not miss smoking.

    Medical Endorsements

    A personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health

    “I have no hesitation in supporting Allen Carr’s work. Many clinics use some of his techniques but it would appear that few do it in quite such a successful package.”

    Carole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees

    “his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”

    Dr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital

    “I have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.”

    Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong

    “It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.”

    Dr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research
    Fund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London

    ”…I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.”

    Dr PM Bray MB CH.b., MRCGP

    “I was really impressed by the method. In spite of the Allen Carr organisation’s success and fame, there were no gimmicks and the professional approach was something a GP could readily respect. I would be happy to give a medical endorsement of the method to anyone.”

    Celebrity Endorsements

    “His method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, while you are actually smoking. I’m pleased to say it has worked for many of my friends and staff.”
    Sir Richard Branson

    “Some friends of mine who had stopped using Allen Carr’s method suggested I tried it. I did. It was such a revelation that instantly I was freed from my addiction. Like those friends of mine, I found it not only easy but unbelievably enjoyable to stay stopped.”
    Sir Anthony Hopkins

    GOOD LUCK!
