personally im not a smoker, but i had a running friend tat who smoke n drink alcohol pass 20+years. I meet him last year june or july, This the story he told me, slowly deduct for 1 pack to 2-3 aday n join sports(running). Cause running need alot of breath. he just reduce till 2-3 pcs a day in few month, before complete stop for good till today, he never smoke back..

Here's some on my part..

so u want to quit smoking but don't know when to start or when to choose a date..
1.When you're sick,with all the coughing and sore throat u'll want to stop
2.Next have your mind set ready for the change.
3.Know that u'll be suffering from withdrawal symptom.2weeks-3weeks deal with it.
4.Chewing gum, Chips, anything that can keep your mouth busy, candy, lollipop.keep em around you they are your friend..MAKE SURE THERE IS SOME AROUND YOU 24 HOUR
5.You'll gain weight deal with it.
6.Exercise now's a good time, take up running.
7.Your smoking friend can be your friend or enemy in this matter.
8.Going out this is the problem.you can either overcome it or you can just FAIL.
9.If you fail just keep in mind you have a weak mind..

failure is not an option. there's no sugar coating it. if you want to quit you quit.cause I've been there and done that. 20's per day that's 300++per month..i'm a student that's a lot of money..

nicotine patch, electric cigarette, nicotine gum..tried the cig n gum..taste like cilli, the gum couldn't kept it in my mouth for 15 min..cig is okay..but you're giving up on smoking and taking up something else entirely keep that in mind..if you're richfag go for it go..waste you money..

in the end its up to you..no words or advice or magical incantation or marketing product is going to help you..its just you, yourself, so deal with it..this may sound harsh but its the fact.

It's not easy but it is not impossible either.
Remind yourself constantly why you want to quit and all the benefits you would get. If you have kids dude you should quit ASAP. never stop abruptly since withdrawal symptoms can get bad.

And also take note that there are medications to help you quit smoking.

I am a 3 years smokers and I've stopped after family member got some serious disease.
Now I feel better and people around me are so happy.

Tip: self brain wash
keep telling yourself you are not a smoker. you hate the smell.

that work for me though~ haPPY QUITTING!!! =)

quit smoking is not easily way but u must motivate self that smoking will harm health......

different people, different body type, different method, you just need to listen to your body, try everything and list it all up, what do you think work and what's not. Listen, to, your, body.

I'm not smoking but here are some tips i found on the internet. Hope this would help you

-Stay active: Keep yourself distracted and occupied, go for walks.
-Keep your hands/fingers busy: Squeeze balls, pencils, or paper clips are good substitutes to satisfy that need for tactile stimulation.
-Keep your mind busy: Read a book or magazine, listen to some music you love.
-Find an oral substitute: Keep other things around to pop in your mouth when you’re craving a cigarette.
-Good choices include mints, hard candy, carrot or celery sticks, gum, and sunflower seeds.
-Drink lots of water: Flushing toxins from your body minimizes withdrawal symptoms and helps cravings pass faster.

Watch the entire video in one sitting. No interruptions, no excuses.

This stuff works (srs)

my bf was complaining that once he force himself not to smoke, his throat was like dry out, even drinking plenty of water couldn't help.

is this true? how could i help him?

8 years ++ clean, its 100% of a mental barrier rather than physical.

I used to tell myself these lame excuses

1. My friends smoke so must I to look cool in their eyes - BULL

2. Work got so much pressure so I must smoke to THINK - BULL

3. After eating a good lunch/dinner I must smoke as it feels good, if not something is missing - BULL

4. Buying cigarettes helps to pay taxes to the government so as to collect enough tax to keep Malaysia economy growing - LAGI LAGI BULL

5. I'm too free and fingers are itchy, must grab something to cure the itch - LAMEST BULL

At first i reduce from 1 x 20 pkt a day to smaller, then smallest and completely stop in a week AFTER my friend had THROAT CANCER! I think that's the biggest mental motivator why I quit smoking.

Added on May 12, 2012, 4:02 pmYou can help him by giving him some incentive/motivation. Like if he smokes, yes his throat may not be dry, but NO SEX FOR A MONTH!

Surely he'll quit in record time

Added on May 12, 2012, 4:05 pmTo be honest if you are serious of quitting smoking, JUST QUIT and STOP finding EXCUSES to reduce the smoking. Sorry this may sound blunt, but "cz i heard frm sources tat ur body are used to the nicotine" is just an EXCUSE not to stop smoking.

If I offend you sorry ya, no intention of doing that. Just wanna help u quit smoking like me.

Cold turkey.

Hey,

anyone successfully quit smoking here ?

I'm trying to quit smoking, i switched to vaping, i am using the liquid type e-ciggy, to see if i can stop craving for the real cigarette, and hopefully i can stop everything by then.

Eventho the e-ciggy contain nicotine (14-24mg), it's still not the real thing, i have to keep smoking it to get the "kick" into my body..

Current week is the 3rd week, i am suffering man.. throat feel itchy, cough with phlegm, flu, tired, sleepy, ulcer in mouth, i did some research online, these are all normal symptom of quitting smoking..

Sigh.. hope i wont give up soon ..

That day i went to Watson and i saw NiQuitin, its a patch to stick on smoker's body, it does supply nicotine to the body, to stop us from craving for cigarette or food.. wonder if it really works.. anyone tried that before ?

i quit cold turkey about 1.5 years ago...

feels good mang...but for the first week,man feel like dying,the brain pusing pusing,no mood,bad temper,restlessness but after that stage - u feel reborn

i used to try those nicotine patch - it works.it will allow ur body to adsorb the nicotine in a slow steady manner...is like everytime u wan smoke,then suddenly u feel like u smoked d..yea miraculous

start with the highest dosage then slowly lower the dosage...

be warn nicotine patch is also addictive
