Anyone have any tips to help stop smoking?

I don't smoke but I hear people talk about the patch. There is also a special chewing gum and there is a battery operated cigarette that supposedly helps stop the cravings! Hope this helps. Good luck.

The patches and gum are good for the nicotine fix.
One that worked for me many moons ago was a substitute for drawing on a cigarette. I put a pinhole in one of those old fachioned ballpoint pens. (I told you it was a long time ago) so I could walk around with it between my teeth when the cravings got bad and inhale on it a few times. It REALLY helped get me over the humps. Another one is to remove the temptation of that cigarette coupled with something else. If you always have one with coffee, switch to tea for a while. If you always had one in a particular place, go somewhere else for a while. You get the idea.
And good luck with it. It's difficult; but worth it.

Patches.

Patch works well but like anything, nothing will work unless you are ready to do it. I have been smoke free for 10 months but I didn't quit, I 'stopped'. For whatever reason, the word quit was very intimidating.....
Take it one day at a time and find something to replace the habit....gum worked for me.
Good luck to you!

Try taking a little snack with you where ever you go. When you feel like smoking, give your self a treat, and don't take a ciggerate. Also, throw out all of the ciggerates in your house, and put them in something disgusting. Trying to make the ciggerates look bad will reming you of what they did to you inside. It will show you you might have cancer, black lung disease, or any other diseases that are very harmful to you. Good Luck.

Each spouse has the right to punch the other in the mouth without warning if a cigarette ever reaches the face.

Its over a week since I kicked the habit :-)

- Lots of liquids
- Stay away from "Trigger Situations" (like the pub).
- Gum or patches help
- Get support from family and friends
