My husband quit cold turkey about 8 years ago. He decided when the first major price increase happened that he wasn’t going to smoke any more. I bought him all the hard candy to suck on and gum he wanted and he hasn’t smoked since. Except for an occaisional stop in smoking he had been smoking for close to or at least 30 years.
I have never smoked cold turkey. Sounds like it would leave a bad taste in your mouth!

Look at images of livers that have come from the body of the smoker, look at pictures of lungs, kidneys, ect.
As soon as you are craving a ciggarette, think, “Am I going to let a cigarette control my life?”
Every time you resist the urge, give yourself a little bit of chocolate or a different treat. Also, exercising can keep your mind of everything, including smoking and food!
I did – it was hard, had to sit on my hands a lot. Weirdly, every time I started craving I tried to substitute it with drinking water, and it worked. Of course drinking the water helped remove the chemicals from my system, so that was a bonus too.
As soon as my grandmother’s funeral was over, I stopped at the first convenience store, dumped every pack I had in the trash & never looked back.

I used to smoke 25 to 30 cigarettes a day. I quit cold turkey about seven years ago. The secret for me was replacing cigarettes with exercise. I started walking in the mornings to relieve stress and over a couple of months graduated to jogging and then running. Since then I’ve been into lap swimming, kick boxing, dancing and surfing. The buzz you get from exercise is far better than nicotine. I think it would have been really hard to quit without if I didn’t have a substitute.
