Good idea!!!Just try it, tell yourself to stop it right now!

then u start eating now la

I was a once a smoker,i smoke 20 to 22 ciggy a day usually,i started smoking while i was in college bcoz listening to some bullshit friend.Now i m smoke free for 1 year and 7 month still counting,i honestly say i m free from nicotine but i m afraid due to stress or some bullshit friends again influences.how i do it?

1)My sister from Australia recommend this product to me call Nicotinell(Novartis Consumer Health Australasia Pty Ltd)It contain 7 patches with 14mg for 24 hour,Totally different from Nicorette(Before using please consult a Doctor).Local Pharmacy here dont have it coz i try everywhere,It work for me i hope it will work for you all as well.GoodLuck

I've been trying to quit too, last time (1 year ago) one day one box 20's...

Now one day maximum 6 sticks... For me, it's quite an achievement, but i cant seem to lower it to 0...

Any ex-heavy smokers to advice here?

congrats to u.
this is definitely not an easy task as it takes more than just patience to bring someone out of d ciggie world.
last time i manage to get my bf to not smoke in front of me. I know he'll definitely smoke when he's with his friends.
then soon he manage to reduce the number of ciggies from day to day.
but d habit came back eventually =_="

Added on July 23, 2009, 12:32 amHas anyone tried nicotine gums/patches before?
How effective is it?
& for d gum, does it taste like normal mint gum? or?

I'm just curious
but if it helps, I'll consider recommending to my bf.
I really want him to stop smoking desperately.
No matter what others say how smoking can help release stress etc., that's all rubbish to me.
I only know it's bad for health & bad to others as well.

let's hear them comments/experience on the gum & patches.

hey bro well i am an ex smoker still young tho but i quit because i wanted too. I feel much better now.
My experience is to first to stop all the chiggy's that i like. For an example right after food, right after i wake up. After i have accomplished that i moved on to generally quitting. Quitting to me is a sudden gesture. I just let go. For a few months. Yes its hard but you need will power. Being active in sports helped me. then one day i bought a stick from a mamak shop to test my addiction. To my surprise i did not feel like smoking it more than half the but.

good achievement..
my fren smoke 7 box 20 per day
can u imagine that?

dont by cigarette..when got cigarette ill just smoke n smoke..

Hi there ts, me also in progress. I tried to stop directly but cant. i just reduced the amount of smoking. Now i just smoke 3 ciggs per day and only smoke when at home. I dont bring ciggs while outing. hope this might help you.

if you are a malay, then fast.

i did it during fasting month. First i reduced my stick per day. Then i limited 1 stick per day. Then i gradually increase the limit (eg 1 stick per week.. etc) until i forgot.

Of course, i changed my friends to non smokers. That helps very much. I moved out and hang out with my ol good friends who doesn't smoke and left my smokers friend all out.

If you are a non muslim, you can fast too. You know the reaction of people when they come to you and say hey neato let's smoke, and then you smiled and say sorry i am fasting.

Even though you're not fasting, you can always tell them you are, because you're fasting from smoking!

Ini betul kah? Mau mati kah?

Yup, heavy smokers do smoke 20-30 cigas per day, if budget allows, I think they will even go beyond this

one of my friend tried to quit smoking for 5x in 1year time... but still failed..

max only can last for 1week++

Try eat hack sweet...

I see, thanks for sharing

Dont buy ah...but very urge lah when at mamak...see the whole row of ciggy so seducing

Dont bring ciggs outing...Good idea...



Me too, if i go clubbing, can easily finish 2 box 20's in 5 hours
That's y i havent been to club in months...

later got diabetics...

What about those nicotine gum or patches? Are they available at pharmacy openly or must go get doctor prescription?

Hi guys, I'm in the midst of quitting smoking now too. Its been 32 hours since my last cig. I hope this works out, I use to be a 20-22 stick a day person.

Any ideas on how to help take the edge off? I don't want to use nicotine gum, inhaler or patch.

with strong will, it will work

Thanks. This is my only real attempt at quitting after smoking for last 13 years.

Scary

strong will + nicotine gum will help, checkout the pharmacy for the

gum

i feel proud of you

Way to go farkinid

Now that you got your mind SET, it's a matter of your phychology strength to keep it up.

Can I ask you a question : Do you still have friends who you think WILL invite you to smoke again? (eg. hey farkin, wanna go for a smoke?).

Oh, and do you still hang out with smokers?

Now would be the best time to sit down and ponder... What's so good about smoking? Think of the thick disgusting smoke that's not only smelly but causes tar buildups inside you.. not good rite? So what's the point of smoking? Better quit.

stay close to people who want you to stop smoking! That is your best friend for now!

I have stopped smoking for 9 days. Let's keep it up!
