I Quit Smoking Forum & Chat Board | Help me stop smoking!

I hope someone out there can help me get rid of this crazy addiction.  I've been smoking for 22 years and I feel now it's time to stop.  I really want to stop.  I just need to find the tools to help me.

 

I have been tobacco free for 2 years now, I have quit a few time in the pass, once for seven years.  For me the things that did not work were: nicotine patches, nose spray, staple in ear, shots in lips, hypnosis, tapering off, nicotine gum, and anti-smoking meds. 
  What did work for me is going cold turkey, drinking at least 2 liters of water a day, using a straw to "puff" on for a few weeks, buying a new toothbrush, washing all my clothes to get rid of the smoke smell, spraying my car to get rid of the smoke smell, getting rid of all ash trays, using a spray mint mouth wash everytime I really was hurting for a smoke. I found even rising my mouth with a good mouth wash a few times a day for about a week helped. 
  It takes about 47 days for the real had desire for smoking to go away.  But even later there will activities that will make you desire to smoke.  But they go away quickly when you tell yourself you will not sell your soul to tobacco.
  Learn to say I do not smoke anymore, instead of I am trying to quit smoking,
  Other things to consider is that smoking will over time start affecting your desire for sex.
   I wish you the very best in this effort.  If you fail this time the key to success is to keep trying, you will find something that will work for you.

 

 I think if you really want to quit, you will, thats half the battle won. I dont know whats wrong with me, I can`t seem to get to that place of seriously wanting to quit. I have 2 children who I would throw myself in front of a bus to save from harm but when they ask me to stop smoking... I cant seem to seriously  entertain the idea of not smoking.....GOOD LUCK

 

never came to a forum before - so i saw your note and wanted to say that when its the right time you will be able to stop

 

Hi all,
 
 
All of us are aware with the dreadful effects of smoking, but quitting smoke is very difficult as it definitely creates some unaccepted changes in body like headache, body pain, restless, etc. These changes occur due to the addiction of inhaling high doses of nicotine as our body becomes adaptive to nicotine, but when we quit the dose of inhaling high level of nicotine decreases suddenly and results in these types of problem and that's why it is advised to decrease the level of nicotine gradually and for this E Cigarettes are of great use because in electronic cigarettes one can monitor the level of nicotine according to requirement. They do not pose health risks as they contain very low amount of nicotine and can be freely smoked in public places.

 

There are many things you can do to stop smoking that don’t involve nicotine replacement therapy or prescription medications such as hypnosis, acupuncture, meditation, behavioral therapy, motivational therapy, herbs. This would be a lot healthier option for you with better benefits and no side effects. Here are How to quit smoking videos, tips and other information to help you quit.

 

You can try electronic cigarettes as an alternative since they cause no harm to health and can help in controlling your urges. Many electronic cigarettes starter kits are available in the market.
 

 

To successfully quit smoking, you’ll need to address both the habit and the addiction by changing your behavior and dealing with nicotine withdrawal symptoms.And i think you must  tell your friends and family that  you need their support and encouragement to quit smoking. Look for a quit buddy who wants to stop smoking as well. You can help each other get through the rough times. 

 

I own/operate Tampa Bay Laser Therapy, helping people with their smoking cessation needs, curbing the nicotine addiction to help them get on a path to a healthier life.

 

Well i have stopped myself a few weeks ago and all i can say try to exercise and to other things when you need a cigarette. Else you can try the e cigarette ?

The addiction is different for each smoker, there are a psychological and a physical factor in it, and the proportion of each component differs from one person to the next. The best tool I can recommend is Laser Therapy, because it has no side effects at all, and it prevents the withdrawal symptoms from appearing; if along with the laser you learn how to handle the habits, you're done!  If you want to go cold turkey, I would recommend drinking a lot of plain water, taking long walks, and whenever the desire to smoke attacks, just focus your attention (completely) on any other thing that surrounds you. No two things can occupy your mind at the same time. As an Addictions Therapist, I can tell you that this works. Good luck!

 

Hello there,

For quitting smoking you must have strong control. If you don't have that then nothing in this world can stop you from it.
Still if you want to do that then go for electronic cigarettes, it will give same pleasure and will not harm you also. There are some good brands in the market.
