I just did not buy any more smokes and smoked herbal cigarettes at first from the health food shop. I just had strong willpower and everytime I felt like a smoke, I had a piece of fruit
Yeah, I have. I had a new boyfriend who had recently quit himself. I remember we mainly had a lot of sex to cover up the cravings.
i use’t to eat mints that really worked for me good luck
I did. It was a case of I really wanted to, so I did. I started chewing more gum (ordinary gum). I now totally hate tobacco. I should also point out I has been smoking for >20 years.
I smoked a little bit when I was with my ex because he smoked… (not that he MADE me, but, I tend to want them if Im around them)
& after I left him I found myself craving them somtimes, but,
just look at it & say, “Im bigger than you” & flush it
Yes, joined a gym!
It’s amazing how different your workout will be even if you have one ciggy during the day of the workout!!
If I have a smoke at 9am and workout at 5pm, I can do half as much exercise as if i didn’t smoke at all!!
Give it a week and the breathing benefits are improved massively!!
I have. Heres the #1 secret to quiting smoking: You just do it.
No patches no gums. The only way to quit smoking is to throw the pack away and put it out of your mind. It might take a few tries, but once you have fully quit, you’ll be surprised at how easy it was.
yes i want through major with drawles i had the sweets and you get bad headaches not fun but in the end its all wroth it.
I did quit smoking with out any smoking aids, what I did is I replaced cigerettes with joints. when that got to expensive i cut down on that too! it may sound crazy but weed isn’t as addictive as tabacco and its the craving and the motion of smoking that is the hardest to stop!
I just started smoking and I’m kicking my ass over it. I’ve heard from many people that getting sick and not having the physical strength to eat let alone light up a smoke helped them quit. Others say pregnancy helps, both women and men quit when their is something at stake. But truthfully, It’s all willpower and if you truly want to quit, You will.
3 weeks today for me -cold turkey style
the 1st week i was soooooooooo angry i wanted to hit some thing, heres my tips- keep by your side at all times fat free things to put in your mouth, hold a pen all the time i needed some thing in my hands i tapped it alot, and finally look at web sites they show disturbing photos of what smoking can do to you this was all i needed….3 weeks and going strong
all the time but you have to cook the turkey then you’l be cool!
J/k
I stopped cold turkey…… i basicly made sure all my cigs were smoked the night before i stopped and woke up in the morning without smoking. Jus carried on with it. I think you have to really want to stop to do it cold turkey, but it worked for me.
My husband used the chewing gum,, nicoret i think they were called. But he swore they helpd him stop compleatly. Good luck =)
I did and i’m a 130 pound female. I don’t care what anyone says. It aint hard to stop smoking unless you just don’t have any kind of discipline. I smoked a pack a week for a yr straight anad haven’t smoked a cig in eight months. Im joining the U.S Marines this year and I want bootcamp to be as easy as possible. See? I’m ready. If I can do it you sure as hell can do it. (And your a man for God’s sake)
I weaned down to 4 cigs a day, then walked away but I kept sugar free gum and chewed it when I wanted a cig. Stay away from high calorie candies that is part of the weight gain. That and without your taste buds dulled by smoking everything tastes different. Its not only a nicotine addiction but smokers tend to flock and socialize. Being female I found I always got stuck doing the dishes because everyone else went to smoke. Good luck!
