I want to quit smoking, any suggestions?
March 22nd, 2011
I want to quit smoking. I have done it before and it lasted for 2 years and I went back to it! I want to do it again. I dont have alot of money for all the products out there to help. Does anyone have any real suggestions or tips for something I can do to not only get over the first week but to make it last?
Thank you in advance!

Smoking addiction is primarily psychological; once you’ve cleared the first 3 weeks, your body’s physical addiction should be behind you.
You have to identify your triggers: smoke breaks at work, social settings, alcohol, etc. For a while, you’ll have to avoid those situations that make you want to smoke. Find an outlet for all that recovery rage (I would pound a wall at home whenever a craving hit. My husband laughed his butt off every time) that you can go to consistently whenever a craving hits. Most of all, stick to your guns. It’s easy to get off the wagon with smoking, especially for women–we’re primarily social smokers, so you may have to wean yourself off some scenes and gradually let yourself back into them.
i dnt knw 4 sure bt one of mi friends said she quit after years of do it bt she said wen she got preg it made her stop and quit 4 good. im nt sayin go out and have sum kids to quit dnt get me wrong i was jst sayin wat i heard works bt every1 is diff
Wanting to quit is THE most critical step – for me, the second step was eliminating coffee and to begin drinking things that left a bad taste in my mouth – like grapefruit juice or water. Then I eliminated chocolate, chips, and all my favorite snack foods that I’d be thinking about having after dinner – while I was eating my dinner (I had a few addictions). Then I set a day and time for my last cigarette. The final step (for me) was to force myself to NOT think about cigarettes, or how many hours it’s been, or days, etc. I also made up my mind not to be a former-smoker nag – and knew that even though in the future I’d be around others who smoked, it wasn’t going to affect ME.
That was the first time in my life that I even considered quitting and it’s now been over 9 years.
The reason smoking is so addictive is because you get to a point where whatever you’re feeling – good, bad, bored, or in between – you reach for a smoke. It’s reduced to feeling = cigarette. Instead, learn to deal with your feelings – which is 90% of the problem and I’m betting you’ll be 100% successful. Best of luck to you.
it’s very good of you want to stop smoking, to keep it try this :
everytime you want to smoke, think about what its will cost to your beloved health
One thing that will help you lose weight: diet pills. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few. The best product I found on the market is made with pure hoodia and it works great! You can go to
