I’ve been preaching this book to friends for years. It’s fanastic!!
Allen Carr’s: The Easy Way to Stop Smoking.
It’s worked for 8 of 9 people I know, including me! and that was 5 years ago. After that last page, 1st Feb 2002, I haven’t had a smoke since. literally, just stopped. And I cleaned up nicely on a little bet me and a friend had too….
Smoking is not easy to give up but you can do it without drugs if you use energy therapy. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) has great success in helping people give up smoking and other dependencies.
You can find out more from these sites below.
Good luck with quitting!
Find people who’ll help.

Hypnosis. Seriously. Hypnosis is amazing.
Try to find a good hypnotherapist near you, if you can’t, try http://www.stevegjones.com
I recommend learning a little bit about a hypnotic experience first, try this site: http://www.whitedovewellness.net/how_hypnosis_works.htm
Talk to your doctor about Chantix. it’s great, and has a 50% recitivism rate (which is fantastic!) i smoked for ten years, almost two packs a day. i was on chantix for one month and now i haven’t smoked in 4 months. it doesn’t even bother me to be around smokers! (which is something I thought we be the hardest part about quitting!) it’s a little expensive, but worth every penny. and most insurance companies will cover it anyway.
Ok, ciggarrettes will stay in your body only two weeks. After that, the nicotine leaves it and you will be free of its poisons.
Now, the “mind” takes a lot longer!
Drink “lots” of water! (This helps flush out the poisons from ciggarrettes faster). But, dont “go water toxic” on yourself and kill yourself, 8 glasses of 12 ounces of water is fine!
When you “need” a ciggarrette, remember, the craving only lasts for 3-5 minutes! If you can “do” something to take your mind off it, then you can beat this!
When a buddy of mine was in the hospital, and was craving real bad for a ciggarrette, a nurse took a straw, (ordinary straw), and took some lipstick and painted the end, so that it looked like he was “lit up”, and told him to suck on this when ever he needed a ciggarrette.. it worked! He beat the cravings and quit!
It was unfortunate for him, that months later, he went back to it, and after years of smoking, it ate out his major artery in his legs and had to have them replace with plastic! He lived for quite some time with that and finally died.
So, take your mind off, when the cravings hit, and eat some gum or sugarless candy or mints, (the best thing is pepermint), when the cravings hit.
I hope and pray that you will be free and never go back to smoking, as its slow suicide!
I wish you well…

Take your half-empty pack of smokes. Keep it on your dresser, in your car. Take it everywhere. Make it your cherished enemy. Look at it, punk it out. Threaten it. Whatever you have to do, develop a personal grudge against that pack. Make up names for each of the cigarettes in that pack, like Dirty, Stinky, Dr. No, whatever. Then, you will have an opponent worthy of setting your will against. As silly as this sounds, it worked for me.
I quit with the patch. I wore it for about a week and while mildly unpleasant, it gave me just enought to to resist smoking. After the first week was up, I was starting to crave the patch and then went cold turkey. The first few days were tough, but afterward got much easier once it is all out of your system. After you make it a couple of weeks and haven’t smoked, the rest is psychological. Keep telling yourself that you have made it this far and don’t NEED a cigarette.
Quitting smoking was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. The most important thing to successfully quit is that you have to mentally want to 100%. If your mind doesn’t want to quit any method you use will fail.
GOOD LUCK!
I smoked 27 years…3 packs a day. Hardest thing I ever did was to stop. First, I admire you because you realized you need to stop at such a young age. Congrats! Now, get serious. Use whatever you have to to stop. Do not worry about the consequenses (I used a nicotine patch when they had to be perscription…my doctor said she would perscribe them for the rest of my life because they were much better than inhaling all that other junk!). Also, I gained 13 lbs in the first year..well worth it. It has now been 14 years (as of Mar 23rd-cannot remember my birthday, but will always remember that day!) and I feel healthier than I did 15 years ago! I can breath, I can sing again (hit high notes and everything) and the taste and smell of coffee is just amazing. Also…you will always crave a cig at some point (I usually do after dinner or after sex) but just acknowledge the feeling…tell yourself if in an hour you still want one, you will have one. In an hour, you have forgotten. That way, you do not feel deprived. I know this sounds harsh, but do not allow smoking in your house (or room) for at least a year. If you find yourself in a social situation where everyone is smoking and you feel yourself slipping.. just leave. Tell folks why. They will understand, and if they dont, it is too bad! You need to take care of yourself too…take the money you would spend on cigs and have a massage (great thing to do) or go to movies or a play. Take lots of showers (can’t smoke in the shower) and go swimming (can’t smoke while swimming). Stay away from “triggers” if you can. Guess that is it..I will send you light…you can draw on it when you feel yourself weakening. It took me 11 tries before I actually made it, so don’t be discouraged..just try again until you succeed–and I know you can!
Allen Carr’s “The easy way to quit smoking” The only way to quit in my opinion. It is my bible.
I’ll tell you some Thing to Think about for your further.
I was 17 when I started smoking.
I’m now 43 in on march 17th 07 I went to work as always felt great all day came got home at 3:00 changed cloths sat down on the couch.
5 minutes later BAM chest pains I had my wife call The ambulance to take me to The hospital.
After several hours the hospital admitted me.
On thee 19th I had several tests and found out that yes I had indeed had a slight heart attack.
And that I needed a triple bypass operation.
So on the 21st I was in surgery for 4 hours wile in recovery they tried to take me off the respirator and my lungs would not work on their Owen.
so I spent the next 4 days on the respirator.
After that my surgeon told me that I had the lungs of a 85 year old smoker and that i have C.O.P.D.
then on the 23. both my lungs collapsed and had to have tubes put into my chest.
so After about a month in the hospital I was finally sent home to recover.
But I’ll never be 100%.
I know quiting is hard but you can do it.
Just think of what I went through IT SUCKS.
ok well im 18. i just quit smoking about going on 4 weeks now tomorrow. you have to really want to quit. your prob. not addicted. i use to tell people i was but i really wasnt. it was more like a habit. i was use to smoking. i smiked since i was 13. constant. we cant smoke i my house so we have to go outside. so whenever i wanted to go outside, i would get a craving. when i drank. when i ws with people who smoked. before and after a meal. it was more like a routine. but buy the COMMIT lozenge. its about $30. me and my sister split it. it contains 2 bottles of mints. each holding 20. break the mint in 4′s or bite it in half. it lasts longer and really you dont need the whole thing. keep it in your purse. ALWAYS ON YOU!!! when you go outside, even if you dont want a cig. take half the mint. whenever you smoke usually, take a half or quarter of a mint. then slowly start to reduce it. i still have about 8 more mints. i havnt needed them anymore. dont use the patch. it falls off, gets sweaty, and a waste of $. avoid the smoking sesions when everyone will go outside and smoke. seriously. try it. i hope this helps. need more info…email me.
