I started practicing cigarettes since I was 9 years old. Regular smoking starts from the age of 12. Now I am 26 years old, I'm trying hard to give up smoking, but can not do  not? Can someone give me some good advice to quit smoking?

I've seen here about a million threads about it. No need to post at once, much better to use the search. People who use the search has shining hair and healthy teeth join us.

The purpose of posting here is that everyone will share his own experince.

If you don't decide that you do not need it anymore, then the magic pill won't help.

I agree to spend money to leave it. I've eaten many tablets, but there is no work. At the end I'm starting yoga, see if it does work or not? But I smoke less now than before.

My husband has been smoking since young age of 17.  By year 2013, he quited smoking like a snap just like that.  He just suddenly stop doing it until after a month, as he tried a stick to taste but he felt so dizzy and so bad.  Since then he never tried lighting a stick ever again up to this date.

Do you worry too much? If this is done, this habit should be omitted earlier. Does your friend smoke? ? If you do, then leave them ,

Do I have to stay awake for the night because I work online? Then I smoke cigarettes more. But I'm smoking much less than before ? If you have more advice then you can tell me

Yes you can.But u have to practice it.

The day you decide to quit smoking, you'll stop on your own free will without anyone advising you how to. I say this because I know people who woke up one morning and quit smoking.

Quit it like the way you will quit any habit.. It's that simple.. You don't want it so quit it like you will quit any other thing.

my advice if you want to quit smoking is to reduce the number of cigarettes you normally use, when you want to smoke so eat something to keep your mouth busy with it and eat fruit to stay healthy

I think you can help yourself to quit smoking by eating other insignifiant food just as nuts or something that won'tgive you the feeling that your stomach is full. As your eating insignifiant food, you will graduadly forget that you need to smoke because your mouth will be oftently occupied by eating.  :)

You can quit smoking if you really want it out of your life. Be a busy person and you will forget to smoke.

To quit smoking, you will need to change your attention to other things more appreciating. With time you will forget the word 'Smoking"

I've been urged by my mom to read Allen Carr's Easyway to Quit Smoking after it helped my cousin quit.

I'm not through reading it, but I'd like to know if it has helped anyone quit. I would love to hear stories as I'm really struggling.

some uses alternatives first like e-cigs or vapes then slowly quit, my father tried exercising when he wants to smoke rather than giving in and such process worked for him

Wow, 9 years old? How did that even happen?

To quit, just do it. You will go through hell the first few days, but eventually your body will better tolerate not having the nicotine.

If you want to live more in this world quit smoking. Remember about your love ones and think the bad things that cigarette can do to our heath. Have a healthy lifestyle.

The hard part isn't quitting cigarettes.

The hard part is deciding to quit cigarettes.

it is possible to quit smoking starting with a strong intention.

we know smoking is bad for health..we should quit this...its all depends on you...its depends on your mental power and environment. 

I think it's up to that person who wants to leave it. It's totally depends on leaving determined and always keep himself into a good company. And maintaining a regular and punctual life.

I know bad, but I want everyone's suggestion to abandon this practice

Your words are reasonable, I keep chewing gum in a pocket. When I feel bad, I started chewing gum. Which kept me better than ever

This is a very good interest? But there are problems if you smoke to chewing gum

my grandfather stopped when he got an illness due to smoking that can cause severe health damage or death... hopefully he stopped it when he replace smoking by eating sweets chocolates and ice creams... hope this helps

Did your grandfather love death of smoking?

Time has changed. Your words are as precious as gold.

To stop on smoking you need to have a good mind set that you need to stop on smoking..follow some step on how to stop on smoking like reducing how many sticks of cigarrete you smoke in a day, chewing a gum, try some alternative way like electronic cigarrete.

Its a mental game. You gotta quit over and over again, everytime you have the urge you got to stay on top of it. Good luck, its hard but you can do it.

Some say that vaping can let you lessen smoking, but in my case it made me smoke a lot, since then I decided to entirely quit on vaping and smoking. It was hard because I have to work late night shifts and smoking helps me. The hardest part in quitting was deciding to stop smoking.

Its too hard to quit smoking especially if you smoke for many years, but if you can discipline your body I think you can, Just replace your bad habits into god habits always play basket ball and any different sports that helps your body.

The simplest way to try to replace a cigarette with candy, I think it can help you,

start a habit of chewing gum

I have had problems with smoking for a very long time. But I found a guaranteed way to stop. I used a nicotine patch for 3 weeks

Stay away from people who smoke,

Know its harms on you and the people around you. Try to take a break for short time while smelling something pleasant like flower blooms and you'll never want its bad smoke again.

nicotine patch what is is it ? tell me details

try to very very focus on something who take a long time, and you can eat Chewing gum when you really want smoke.

Sure, you have to change friends if only your current friends are smoking. Try and change environment as well if possible. Don't neglect prayer (Talking to God).

I do not go with people who smoke. I wish I would quit smoking ।

I am a smoker but I have not found an effective way to quit smoking ...

effective away is dead. On the day I die, I will quit smoking।

I quit smoking for 1 year and it was so easy to quit.. First i dont smoke for 1 week and thats a challenge.. When you stop it 1 week. Then try to think.. If you smoke again, how about the week or days you struggle not to smoke? This is called it's all in the mind.. You need to trick your mind..

Usually you cannot stop smoking immediately but you can take for a little bit until you do not try again.

I think you should first have a great will power and better seek professional help and trust me I know people who did that you definitely can

You can take a little bit but balance and less them your body needs to adjust to your change.

Perhaps you could do it by reducing the amount of cigarettes you smoke each day. Make it a habit to lose one cigarette a day until you smoke none at all. It is going to be a long and hard process, but it will be worth it. And you will also be doing the planet a favor.

Pay all your money for food or gum

Need strong intention and just quit smoke

first strengthen intention and motivation from within, then do gradually reduce smoking. maybe you can do meditation too

It is a really hard man. I was trying to do it for 8 years.

just switched to electronic cigarettes. You can try to go to a psychologist.

You should try doing anything else instead.Eating is a good substitute but it would get you fat btw ^^

I quit smoking by motivation and discipline. every time I want to smoke i immediately drink a lot of water. try this.. there's no harm in trying.

how it possible . where is water, whare is smoking . after smoking i drink 1 glass water

Go pick up one of those Juul devices, simple to use and easy to refill. Slowly ween yourself off from smoking cigs to only vaping. Good luck! You can do this!

Have you tried the nicotine supplements instead of smoking?

Quit it just like you will quit any other thing.. You find something wrong with it that's why you want to quit.. Just quit it.. It's more or less like any other habit you can just quit.

Try to change your life style focus on things that give you happiness like going into gym for healthy lifestyle  or try to eat healthy

Many ways or tips that can be used when you wanted to quit smoking. You can stop if you really want to do it. Good luck  ;)

Use alternatives like chewing tobacco. I broke smoking by using it

I was smoking for 7 years most time 1 package a day :/
Then I quited and now i don't for more than a year.
In my situation i started to have a nervous attacks before i quited and some neuralgias (i don't know if it is in 100%) bu it was in heart place.
I thought it's some heart problems because of smoking, one day i nearly lost conciousness and paniced, then go to hospital and doctor to make research.
Finally it was nerve problems with maybe trading experiences and other problems and then i quited smoking.
Worst time is first 3 months, the best way is to make this time holidays and not going out home for first 2-3 weeks.

Try to have a mint. Always works!! All the best

MY mother used chewing gum to help quit smoking.  Make sure to occupy your mind and get some new hobbies or you will constantly be thinking of smoking.

I have brought changes between myself. I believe I'll leave him soon

I've been trying to quit for two years now, and I still do not. I do not know what's wrong with me ... :(

do not buy  cigarettes anymore,
hobby you sport and candy for cigarette want to disappear.
heahehe

Just little by little and you will see that you already decreasing your smoking until it vanish

I'm doing this. I do not go with those who smoke

By eating lots of snacks. and eat lots of candy gan.

It's already became a habit at this point so you need to work hard to change that habit, example if you have a habit to smoking after eating change that habit like eat candy or anything else or make you hand busy.

You need to seriously want to stop smoking. Any medicine want help if you don't have a strong inner will to change anything.

Stop smoking because it is dangerous to health

In fact, smoking is a psychological effect, more exercise, when the body feels tired, you may have almost no urge to smoke!

At first you have to determine yourself to quit smoking.

Start surrounding yourself with positive people who don't smoke and most of all have a strong will to end with smoking once and for all.

Cut the amount. Example :
- You are smoking 20 cigarettes per day : change to 18 tomorrow then 16 the next day then go on....
Try to make exactly amount as planned, if it's so hard then you can lengthen the duration.

There are many ways to quit smoking, but the most important thing to me is the inner strength of each person. If opium you can quit then quit smoking is not too difficult.

Meet people who have a disease because of smoking and then ask for advice from him.

You can quit smoking when you feel something is wrong with your body. Something that smoking too much causes it. Something like burning in the chest, coughing too much, aching from head to toe and ETC. When something like that started coming out you can sure be nervous about your health and slowly start quitting.

the first way to stop smoking should be to stay away from friends who are smoking addicts for a while, then hold on a little at a time, then throw cigarettes one at a time, to reduce the difference.

The habit is that we cannot get rid of smoking in a short time, but we think we can take it little by little until we can throw it away.

the way to stop smoking may begin with a strong intention, because we really want to throw it away little by little so we don't get addicted again.

I think if you want to stop smoking, you should try to reduce the number of cigarettes you use everyday when you want to smoke.

Well, it's all in the mind. I used to smoke and one day i just told myself i will and i need to quit smoking because i want to have a baby. When i decided to do that i didn't have much of a hard time to quit smoking, i just kept telling myself i want to stop smoking.

The way you have to take it little by little, but it must be balanced and you need to adjust to the changes.

my advice if you want to quit smoking is to reduce the number of cigarettes you normally use, when you want to smoke so eat something to keep your mouth busy with it and eat fruit to stay healthy

What im doing right now is, stop thinking that i want to smoke. Thats it.

You stop smoking.

The hard part isn't quitting, it's deciding to quit.

First step is to become more aware of your actions, and not just smoking.

Notice how you know you want to quit, and it's unhealthy to smoke, but you still CHOOSE to do it.

Ponder that...

It won't be easy, but it's simple.

possibly you may do it via lowering the quantity of cigarettes you smoke each day. Make it a addiction to lose one cigarette a day until you smoke none at all. it's far going to be a long and hard technique, but it'll be really worth it. and you may also be doing the planet a favor.

I tried to exercise actively. Because when the body is active, the body will send natural chemicals that can help mood and reduce stress. One of the mild sports that I tried was walking.

my advice if you need to stop smoking is to lessen the variety of cigarettes you typically use, while you need to smoke so devour something to preserve your mouth busy with it and devour fruit to stay wholesome

In my opinion, you should quit. It is very hard to change a habit so suddenly do it slowly. And it is important to have the determination to do so. If not you can easily come back

It is a difficult think to stop I heard from many people as the first step you have won because you really want to stop smoking which is good

Make up your mind and keep in low pressure

It's really hard to quit smoking. I used to smoke before and also had the same problem until i forced myself to quit due to my health problems. What i did, i look for an alternative, everytime i feel like smoking I'm chewing a gum or candy. It helps in my case you should try.

U can use some candies or gums (orbit), be cause smoking its a habbit. Or if its very hard - try electric sigarets.

the way to forestall smoking may additionally begin with a sturdy intention, due to the fact we actually need to throw it away grade by grade so we do not get addicted again.

In place of smoking cigarettes, try sunflower seeds, sugar-free lollipops, or gum, or carrot or celery sticks if you’re concerned about weight gain. You can also switch your cigarette habit for a nut habit, and eat four nuts in their shell for every cigarette you want to smoke. This way, you’re using your hands and your mouth, getting the same physical and oral sensations you get from smoking.

You have to deal with the habit than physical addictions and you always can do that if you try harder and stay focused in each time   

You have become a heavy smoker, so it seems you have to have a strong desire and confidence to stop doing that. I think apart from the factors within yourself, external factors are also very important, the support of your closest friends and family for example

Thus, many achieve success in quitting smoking. Many of my acquaintances bought sweets or what they liked, and when they were ready to smoke they ate sweets. But most importantly, you need to want and keep this position until the end. In the end, it's just a habit, and you'll remember it in the coming months (with food, work, etc.). And, of course, do not listen to the surrounding smokers who do not support your decision. Good luck!

The best way to quit smoking is to start chewing gum, it will keep your mouth busy and you will lose the urge to smoke.

it's far a certainly tough guy. i used to be trying to do it for eight years.

simply switched to electronic cigarettes. you may try to visit a psychologist.

It is easy to fall into , hard to come out!
Quit it is hard but not impossible , just go to respiratory part in hospital to see what will happen to you if you dont quit it , it may motivates you!

Try to stop smoking one day at a time then extend the time period that might work   

you try your mind

ain't easy though since addiction can be powerful...U can associate yourself with positive people and listen to positive quotes

Its too hard to quit smoking especially if you smoke for many years, but if you can discipline your body I think you can, Just replace your bad habits into god habits always play basket ball and any different sports that helps your body.

Good point, I had success in quitting smoking with similar way.

Good decision and work hard to stop smoking

eat a pack of cigarettes  ;)   #coldturkey

A friend of ours had the same issue, he could stop when a woman came into his life, she hated it so he stopped because of her! Womans can change a mans life!

there are several ways to stop smoking, the first must try one by one reduce the stems that we suction per day and after that we have to hold it little by little in order to get used to, keep away from friends who are smoking addicts for a while so that it is not affected again.

I just can not say that you have stopped quitting because it's bad that you should slowly stop it.

Start you day with that mission in mind until the end of the day don't stop until you succeed   

Always think about the bad things that can happen to your body if you continue which will remind you to stop smoking to avoid that   

Dont worry. Just keep it going on. You will quit smoking when you gone. OR use any methods that help you quit it. IMPORTANT thing: your will.
My daddy had smoking for over 30 years. But someday, he wanted to stop smoking, and he did it in omly 1 week. Not lie. Only 1 week.

Your will power is the most important thing and believe that you can do anything with that you will be able to stop smoking easily 

There is no rocket science behind it neither any fixed formula. There is nothing like advise on how to quit smoking or anything.
One day you wake up with a will so strong that even if someone give you your favorite cig. lightened up in your bed and yes  You REFUSE!! Thats the only way you are giving up this habit.

There are alternative things to take to stop smoking but do not go for them because you might get addicted to them so the best way is the traditional way just always be strong in moments when you feel like you need to smoke and stop     

Some people even stop taking heroin so stopping so you definitely can stop smoking   

try engaging your self in other activities like football or video games, it will help you quit smoking

I tell you bro; it is so hard to quit smoking. I am having a hard time quitting smoking especially when people in your home is not willing to stop. Every day I was tempted. But if you have the willingness to do it, I know you can do it. It is all about discipline.

Maybe you can try EFT method or some hypnosis method

It depends our mind, you think that you can give it up, then sure you can do that

If anyone needs help quitting smoking, my friends and I have tried many options but the only one that worked wonders was vaping.

It's a lot less harmful and cheaper. Just buy a good vape kit and a couple bottles of ejuice flavours and you're good to go.

I can also help you if you need advice or try one of the vaping communities.

Something that smoking too much causes it. Something like burning in the chest, coughing too much, aching from head to toe and ETC. When something like that started coming out you can sure be nervous about your health and slowly start quitting.

Smoke 15 ciggarets in a row. U get an intoxication and disgusting for smoking)

Yes. You should try with weed and you will quit cigarette ;D

New advice.... Just watch video no smoking for 100 hours to wash you brain for not smoking

Quitting smoking depends on your self. You cannot depend on third parties to help you quit smoke if your self does want the opposite.

Volunteer some of your time to work in the cancer wards at your local hospital. Look at the cancer patients lying there in bed, wasting away and waiting for death. See the tears in their families' eyes and hear their cries, knowing that time is running out, and it didn't have to. That would definitely put you off smoking.

so you can stop smoking by reducing the number of cigarettes you reckon each day, slowly 2 the number of cigarettes you reckon will decrease a little by the

Just think about your future. Think about the possibilities. Search for information about this addiction. You cannot see any advantages or benefits using cigars. You can only see destruction. Destroy your dreams in limiting your lifespan. Go find your inspiration to stop smoking. Inspiration for you to see this thing in the future.

Keeping yourself busy is one effective way to quit smoking. Looking for other activities aims to divert your mind from cigarette cravings. There are a somethings you can do to fill your free time rather than smoking, including sports and taking a leisurely walk out of the house.

Yes you can leave smoking. You need to stick to your plan and Please ignore that friends who is addicted to smoking.

It is all a mental thing. Just make up your mind and you will eventually realize that it is possible to quit smoking. Until that moment though, you will have a hard time, sure.

Round tightly to stop smoking. Change smoking habits by doing positive things like sports, playing games and reading books. Good Luck Brother 8)

Nicotinell mints are good.

Just stop. Only you can help yourself here and you need to find the motivation to quit. Think of all the money you'll save and all the health benefits to quitting. When you find yourself wanting to smoke, do something else instead. Go for a walk or job, have snack, or drink a coffee. Something to take your mind off the fact that you want one. Try distracting yourself with things like movies, music or books as well. Good luck.

If you really want to quit smoking, try to take little by little of ciggar so that you'll be able to avoid it next time.

in my opinion you have to keep your mouth busy by eating fruit, chocolate or other snack foods that make your mouth won't smoke, and you also have to resist the urge to smoke as hard as possible, even though it feels heavy but if it's often done you will start to get used

Take advice from a relevant doctor is great in those conditions because trying to stop smoking without a plan will be in vain

Yeah thinking about precious things you will loose if you smoke will definitely convince you to stop smoking

you can make some others habits that donot harm to you!

I see lots of non- and never-smokers giving advice here like it's so easy to quit, "just stop".... yeh... there is a reason why smoking is considered one of if not the hardest addiction to beat!

i know a friend smoke heavily.he manage to control smoking by using an artificial stick.you can also try that. it helps.

It is very hard to give up somking, i'm smoker and i try many time but i don't success.

unfortunately I never tried to smoke because it happened to be a family nobody likes it, but actually if you want to get away from smoking dependence is the intention and willingness to avoid and not try to keep trying again, may also try to reduce usage every day.

I heard that vape can help to solve that issue. Many people said that they quited smoking when they tried vaping.

Researchers have long sought ways to find the right technique to stop someone from smoking. Many think that stopping smoking will be easier if done gradually. But in a study conducted by the University of Oxford and published in the Annals of Internal Medicine Journal, researchers found a new pattern: stopping suddenly was considered a greater chance of success. The results showed that smokers who stopped suddenly more consistently stopped compared to groups regularly. As many as 49 percent of sudden groups are more successful at quitting than regular groups.
So, make it clear if you want to stop smoking completely.

It is a very hard thing the difficult part is to make you mind when you really need to smoke and because it is a habit unknowingly you do smoking so better to go for a hypnosis therapist to make you mind first

Well, you can try to replace it with another habit. for example, chewing bubble gum

Quitting smoking since you have started it in your young age is difficult to do , but if you are eager to quit it is just easy if you have a self discipline in your self and have self control in yourself. I also started smoking in my young age and i end quitting smoking  when i am 29 years of age , now its been 4 years that i do not smoke.

It's really hard to quit smoking but after a year i finally get rid of it. At first I decreased my stick from 6 down to 5 a day and less another 1 stick every month. Now I am using Vape as a replacement for my addiction to sigarettes.

When you crave cigarettes, you can turn on the TV, take a shower, make phone calls, do housework, go out ... These things will keep your mind away from the cigarette.

It all starts with the reason why you want to quit. If the motivation is strong, then it is much easier to do so. Also, smoking is a habit, try to find something to do instead of smoking.

Whenever your craving for cigarettes, you can brush your teeth. The feeling of cleanliness in the mouth will lose the craving for drugs. There is always something to eat when cravings, such as mint, gum, cinnamon, sunflower seeds.

Quitting smoking is a very painful process, which requires you to have a firm belief, you can try to do more outdoor sports, which can improve your boring time when you quit smoking!

Oh, may be i should say it, but i will. It is very terrible! Smoking since 9 years old is unnormal. Of course you schould understend, that it harms you body, your health. And think about your future! Im sure it can be helpful. Who would like to get married for a person, who smokes ALL the time ?? Moreover, try to concentrate on smth another, even sweets can be better than smoking.

If you want to quit Smoking - do not start Smoking.
It's simple.
Why do people every day take a cigarette and let the poison into themselves, because they know that it kills them. Never understood that.

The most important is the desire and motivation. I helped book Easy way to quit Smoking. but after six months I again lit ..

If you want to quit smoking, don't buy cigarette!

There's always multiple ways to solve a problem, but if you'd rather just keep it simple instead, just do it! 8 ::)

just depend how strong of the desire u willing to quit, mayb can use a method that u imagine doctor give u 2 choices, either quit or get lung cancer within a month

Many of us who smoke are not easy to leave.No one can easily quit smoking for this.The way to quit smoking is to eat one packet a day,then eat 5, then 4 to 3 then you will be in a coma if you want to smoke,eat chocolate.This way you will be free from smoking.

try going on e-cigarette , and slowly walk your path from there. i did it this way after a decade of smoking.
also keep your month busy with  sunflower seeds,gum or even lollipops if you have too.

i realized it is all in the head, all the bullshit about nicotine addiction is bullshit to me, it's just a habit.

Have a Plan
As you probably know, there are many different ways to quit smoking. Some work better than others. The best plan is the one you can stick with. Consider which of these might work for you:

1. Cold turkey (no outside help). About 90% of people who try to quit smoking do it without outside support -- no aids, therapy, or medicine. Although most people try to quit this way, it's not the most successful method. Only about 5% to 7% are able to quit on their own

Just reduce the number of cigarette that  you take in a day example if you smoke atleast 10 cigarette a day then maybe next week you will just smoke 9 cigarrete then on the another week just take 8 and so on.

Let try use vape, electronic sigarete. i was stoped reguler sigarete when use use vape, because have alot taste on liquid

Whenever you feel cigarette, you can also do about 5-10 inhalations. Your mind and body will quickly be driven into a new activity. You can also play a short game to no longer think about cigarettes.

Exercise, and a lottt of gum :D

Wearing a rubber bracelet around your wrist, tugging at it whenever you intent bothered to smoke a cigarette. The feeling of shivering will distract you, give you one second to remember why you quit.

just refreain from buying cigarettes???

Exercise for a long time will help the lungs to be active enough to forget the urge. You will have a better mentality, this is very beneficial for quitting smoking.

Try to control yourself! it is one of the most important things) Moreover, use nicorette chewinggum) my friend tried and he said that it's quite helpful. As for me, the most helpful thing is to relax and start doing sport. The more u exercise, the faster u get rid of this dependence!!!!!! :) ;)

I stopped smoking with tbe gum method. When you wanna smoke get a gum.

Have some 30 day challenges. Don't try quitting as fast as possible. You must slowly remove the habit because rushing will make you want to smoke again.

You may think that its difficult to prevent from smoking but the thing is it's not difficult as you are thinking. The only thing that you have to do is change the way of thinking. Meditation also a good start to change the way of thinking. Just think,If u don't want to take breath and you are too lazy to take breath what will happen? The thing is you love your life so you will never forget to take breath. Smoking also negatively impact on your health. It also reduce your life time. So try it. try to change the way of thinking and stop smoking.

The pain of nicotine withdrawal is real.

But it is not that bad a pain.

For most of us that quit we realized this.

When it occurred to me 23 years ago that if I hit my fingernail while using a hammer it hurts a lot more then the pain of nicotine withdrawal I realize I could quit.

My old reaction to nicotine withdrawal was I will just die if I don’t have a smoke.

My new reaction to nicotine withdrawal was how does this feel well it hurts less then whacking my thumbnail with a hammer.  When I would hit my self building a deck I would look at my finger nail and say it looks okay it will go black under the nail and then get better..

Once I realized I could talk the pain down for smoking just like I could do with a smacked finger nail it was easy to quit.

If you have not stopped smoking take this advice from me!!
* one anytime you feel like smoking put an important image of those that will be in pain if you become sick due to smoking
* anytime the feeling to smoke comes upon you try and do an activity like push-ups

try does two and see what happens

Note: you have to have a disciplined mindset

I quit smoking when I noticed that my blood pressure shoots up whenever I smoke. :o

There is a good proven way to quit smoking. First you need motivation, further reduce the number of cigarettes per day, but not dramatically. You can sometimes replace a regular cigarette with an electronic cigarette.

stay away from cigarettes and replace them with sweets

Quitting smoking or not, first depends on the determination of the human. There are many serious addicts but also self-sufficiency. Most drug addicts are at the psychological and behavioral stages. As a result, only cognitive behavioral change and behavior change, particularly changes in the working environment, are often successful. Only a few dependents of the "entity" need to use nicotine replacement therapy only.

The power of will and motivation is the secret.

Start by reducing number of cigarettes you smoke every day, then after some time, take final decision and consider that one more cigarette will kill you, start believing in the idea with time until you done smoking.
The most important find for yourself a habit, like watching soccer or some thing else.

Many tobacco addicts admit that after drinking a glass of milk, smoking does not bring them the same taste they deserve. Milk makes the smell of cigarettes bitter and unpleasant. You can quit smoking with a cigarette soaked in milk, dried for smoking in the cravings. The unpleasant taste of these cigarettes will make you "afraid" of cigarettes. If persevering and good at enduring many times, you will easily end up addicted to nicotine.

It depends on your will power, if you have a strong will, then you quit, if not, then no pills, patches and other drugs will help you. The main thing is eagerness.

I believe it's better to ask a doctor for help. As with any addiction, it's much more effective with the support of a qualified specialist.

I heard about injections that are made in the ear. My friend had this treatment in Israel and after that he never smoked again. Find information on the Internet😉

Sweeeets

I suggest you to be mindful of yourself first. Thoughts, emotions, motivations etc. Surely, there is a reason why you smoke. And when you realize what is it... think of a possible solution to do that. No matter how much you crave for it, it is just a habit. You may change it.

start vaping and quit buying cigs!

Think of its negative effect and impact that it can bring to your health and your family. Then you can thank me later.

I thought it was easy at first. But after several hours of trying not to smoke, I realized how hard it is to resist the smoking sensation. Candies didn't help. And then a friend introduced me to vaping. And I loved it. At least I was able to quit smoking for a year now without sacrificing to resist the urge to inhale smoke or this time, the vapor from the vape. I know technically I'm still smoking but it's not smoke anymore. It's vapor! No more bad smell, and I feel that my lungs got clearer now. And it makes me to hate the smell of cigarettes too. I know there are also disadvantages when vaping but I'm pretty sure cigarette is even twice or trice the danger it can bring.

In order to quit smoking instantly, You have to have a very good reason with a big impact in your life. The worst one would be to suffer from bad health and illness by you or someone around you that was caused by your smoking. Then you'll realize you have to stop soon when it's too late. If you know better than this and you believe that you still have the discipline in yourself than please don't wait for this to happen. Like they always say, prevention is always better than cure.

Quitting smoking is not that easy and it should take a lot of willpower, Focus, and discipline. But if you're really getting a hard time, You may want to try vaping instead of smoking. Vape whenever you feel the urge to smoke. Do it once in a while until the vaping fully replaced your smoking. And that would be a good start to try to quit vaping which is much easier than to stop smoking. That's what I did.

I used to smoke also in my early age and its been so long when i finally started to quit smoking. At first it is difficult for me to quit smoking because i used to smoke daily , but with the help of medication i slowly quit smoking. At first its hard but when you have the urge to quit smoking , you will surely quit it slowly and have a self discipline and self control.

u can try think about if today is the last day of your life?

An addicting habit is so difficult to break specially if you're surrounded by people who can't even break the habit themselves.  Your self-control should be outstanding and your will as sturdy as a rock.  That is, if you don't want to suffer the complications in the long run.  I can say this coz I lost two loved ones who were certified chain smokers.  Good luck!

Just don't buy cigarettes. You usually want to smoke, because you don't know what else to do. Try to do something all the time, so you won't have time to smoke.

Chew gum or maybe try vape if you can't resist the urge.

Think about all the money you can invest in bitcoin if you don't buy packs of cigs.

If it is not easy at once, give yourself a goal of some sort to stop smoking. It takes longer but it works, for example tell all your friends and family that you will quit smoking after you finish college or some hard project than you cant go back on your word. Now only question is how much your word is worth  :)

I think you should contact the specialists. This is quite difficult, but the sooner you do this, the better it will be for you.

First of all we have to know that smoking is the bad habit and if any person is habitual to smoke daily then the he is increasing his expenses and making his body in danger position because smoking is dangerous for the health and it reflects bad impressions on our lungs as well. No person like to die early that's why we have to think about our health and quit smoking.

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) provides a low level of nicotine without the other poisonous chemicals in tobacco smoke.This helps to ease some of the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal, such as intense cravings, nausea, tingling of hands and feet, insomnia, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating.

I was once a chain smoker, smoking at home, workplace, street, while driving, just simply anywhere. For more than 20 years, smoking is one of my favorite pastime. However, having known the ill and deadly effects that smoking does to our body I started to gradually lessen my smoking day by day. Till it comes to a stick per day, then a stick after few days, a stick after a week, a stick after few weeks, a stick after a month, then after a few months up to the time that I no longer smoke. It just takes discipline to accomplish this. And I mean extreme discipline which means you really have to abide with what you really aim for and that is to quit smoking. Now, just the mere smell of cigarette smoke makes me feel dizzy and obnoxious.

FIND NEW AMAZING HOBBY! don't stay along with u thoughts) find new friends, and remember that everything in in your mind))

Try smoking vape! It helped me stop smoking cigarettes.

Exercise a lot or get out of the house for a walk.Chew gum and drink lots of water. And when you feel that you really want to smoke keep your hands busy with a pen or toothpick, or play a game in the QuitGuide app.

You have already decided to quit smoking. So do your bests! And say yourself NO. You can really kill yourself. You have a great spirit and a great power, think about harmful disadvantages that smoking gets you! I believe you!

I'm a smoker for two years and I smoke a couple a day but it's still hard for me to just stop smoking although I don't really like it. I had friends who quit smoking and they usually found something else to keep them busy when they wanted to smoke like chewing a gum.

Keeping busy is a great way to stay smokefree on your quit day. Being busy will help you keep your mind off smoking and distract you from cravings. Think about trying some of these activities:
Exercise.
Chew gum or hard candy.
Keep your hands busy with a pen or toothpick
Go to a movie.
Spend time with non-smoking friends and family.
Go to dinner at your favorite smokefree restaurant.

I'm a non-smoker myself, but as far as I know at first you shoul find out is your habit a social or a biological one
 ???
I mean do you need a company in a smoking room and maybe some time to think and to distract yourself or you need nicotin itself

Think about if you want to quit smoking. Nicotine is incredibly addictive and it will take determination to quit. Ask yourself if a life without smoking is more appealing than continuing your life as a smoker.[1] If the answer is yes, have a clear reason for wanting to quit. This way, when abstaining becomes difficult you can be clear about your very important reason to quit.

Im vaping and i will read the Allen Carr book how to quit smoking

maybe try doing vape or chewing gums.

I think it will be difficult, for smokers to smoking it is no longer a matter of taste but this is a matter of habit. While forgetting a habit is very difficult, you cannot forget it with only one day, two days, one month or two months or even a year and two years. However, you can stop them when you are sick, I feel it.

The answer is simple. Just quit smoking. Make the decision.

I am not a smoker but I've read this somewhere. Hope it helps.

Know Your Reasons for Quitting
Understand What to Expect
Get Help- join quitter's circle

It is very difficult, and immediately it will probably be very difficult to quit. You will break loose and smoke again. It is even more psychologically difficult. But you need to consult with doctors.

To me, the first step to quitting a habit is to tell people around you physically about it who cares about you!! and ensure you give them the chance to support you

Cigs are hard. You need to just put it down.

If you cant stop smoking it means that you are weak minded. I stopped 6 years ago, and it literally changed my life.For better of course :D

You should bet with friends or family for a large sum of money, say $1000 that you will stop smoking. You have to bet on such a thing that you would not want to lose.

just make a strong decision and quit smoking when you feel to smoke, eat something are do any other work and divert your mind.

So strange…. I aimed to smoke when I was 14 years old. I tried to smoke for 4 years, but the reality is that day after day I hated more smoking.

But I remember that one thing that helped me was shock therapy, I saw some ... very unpleasant images about tongue cancer and things like that smoking product, I know it sounds horrible, but maybe that can help you in something.

You could go ‘cold turkey’ and stop completely but your chances of relapsing are quite high doing that. Although there is the ‘spiral of quitting’ which can be good, it might be best to gradually ease yourself off.

There was a guide on Buddy Loans which advocated cutting consumption gradually, saving funds, and then working towards quitting completely. Or switching to E-cigs.

Whichever option you go with, best of luck! Quitting smoking really isn’t easy but I’m sure you’ll be fine in the end.   

You have to be motivated and a reason why you will quit smoking.

Just start a hard working and should busy for your work. You can easily give up smoking. I know that it is very difficult to give up smoking. As you are a chain smoker you should immediately start any work and try to do attention to your work. Smoking is very unnecessary thing and it is just waste if money.

Smoking will kill your all valuable money. You can give up smoking by trying to save your money. Or there is other way to give up smoking and that is you can use vape. Vape is one kinds of smoking things. But you can try it for giving up smoking.

Thank you
Coin-Desk

Quitting smoking is making your mind that i will never smoke again, it your willpower is strong you can easily quit it.

Try everyday to quit smoking, minus by one ciggarete perday, next day minus 2 ciggarete. slowly
or you can really want to quit just motivate yourself to quit exactly and receive all the reason

Im on day 3 no smoking but im vaping 16mg vape juice

Each time when you're about to take a cigarette in your hand - do something you don't like (as negative reinforcement).
And after a couple times, your body will remember that experience.
Later it will be much easier mentally to stop yourself from enticement.

It is just on your mind

Start vaping! THis is the only way believe me.

It starts from your own self, if you don't put importance on your loved ones, then continue to smoke. But if you do, then it's time to quit.

This guy is what are you looking for. Watch some of his videos.

nicotine chew gum are help to quit smoking

Who’s your parent?i guess they must be bring to schools or some organizations to learn how to bring a chidlren properly ,this is their fault as parents.why am i saying this?because I myself has the same past as you,i have tried to smoke when i was in grade school but my parent is too protected so i make it regular after finishing college,and stopped at nearly 40’s .from what did I quit?when i start to learn and follow God this changed me alot from smoking and liquor drinking and some womanizing.now i am living healthyand God fearing for how many years so if you have a chance try to apply my experience so you might find peace in life

I've known several people that were able to quit.
The one magical ingredient each of them had was they made up their minds that they were going to quit.
Then they did it.
It really looked that easy to me.

I love this idea!
Out of the box thinking like this is something I love to hear. If I smoked I would seriously give this a try.

I suppose that as any vice should be left gradually, not left from a moment to another, simply reduce the daily consumption of cigarettes, and of course you must have a lot of willpower to achieve it. :)

You just have to understand that naturally growing herbs can be smoked but not what has been spiked with chemicals.

Yeah, that's a great idea to stop doing anything! I did it with some other stuff, it helps. But the thing is not to stop after the first step is finished, you know. You have to move further!

There are thousands of tips you can search online on how you can stop smoking, but if you haven't really made up your mind that you want to quit, then none of these can be a good help... It all starts within yourself..

I heard that only time helps. With time I just get tired.

Quitting smoking depends on your self. You cannot depend on third parties to help you quit smoke if your self does want the opposite.

Discipline is the only thing that can help you. Decision is all it takes.

Believe you can live ur life without smoking and try to do things that will keep u busy whenever you have urge to smoke  ;D

You should start watching video on negative effects of smoking. That's a good idea.

I had a friend that was having trouble quitting but she finally did it. She said what helped her the most is to stop hanging around with other smokers. Smokers tend to stay in groups to not feel guilty. It is all a mind game she said. Also don't try to ween off all of a sudden, you have to do it by steps. For example she used to smoke 1 pack a day and gradually reduced the amount. One thing I can say is my friend always had that smoking odor on her but now that she quit the smell is gone lol.  Smokers can't tell because they get used to the smell but they tend to have a strong odor that stays in clothing. Also best part is she noticed a drastic increase in extra money since buying them is expensive.  

Read the bold for short hand

--------------------------------- The Easy Way to Quit Smoking by Allen Carr is an excellent book

Chantix (Varenicline)  or     Zyban -Wellbutrin (Bupropion)  
either one of those will typically require a prescription from a Dr. and it is a good idea to stay in touch with your Dr. while taking either of those because the side effects can be serious and while one of those might not work for you the other may.

My sister tried Chantix and said it made her feel "homicidal" (she is not a person that you would want feeling that way ;-)
Backround:
I started smoking at 13, was at a pack a day by 14, quit cold turkey when I got pregnant at 19 (wanting one almost every day) until I started again at age about age 21 (1992ish)
Became a 2 pack a day smoker for years after that + Cigars
Tried cutting down... never stuck, Nicotine patches(about 1997)...nope. After trying hypnosis somewhere around 2001 I decided that I would just stay a smoker.
Never mind the anti-smoking ads…
Because “I’m not a quitter”----that’s what I used to tell my friends before they stopped telling me that I should quit---I enjoyed smoking.
2008 was a crap ass year for me---I was a California real estate broker (getting broker) with a teenage daughter to take care of and I needed surgery. Of course my Dr wanted me to stop smoking.
I didn’t think it would work but agreed to try it.

How I quit (twice lol :-):
Welbutrin 150 (extended release) I stopped on my quit date, walked out of a store a couple days later into a big puff of cigarette smoke and LOVED the smell but only had a slight craving that passed quickly. The side effect for me was that the drug also eased the stress of everything else. Quitting was easy. So easy that in 2011 after dating a smoker for 6 months I started smoking again and figured I would take Wellbutrin to quit…not easy… the 2nd time did not go as smoothly so I also read Allen Carrs book and decided that not being controlled by an addiction was better than smoking.
2012 was my quit date I never want to quit again (so I will not even smoke 1) but still enjoy the wafting of 2nd hand smoke from time to time.

I am a smoker too back then, a heavy smoker as they say but gladly i was able to stop it due to the fact that somehow i have this in my mind for a long time that i believed i will stop smoking and it happens its like, its just a mind over matter thing. Just live a healthy life, do jogging every morning, it will help.

You needed a vacation, anyway. So, let the Captain drop you off for a year, on a deserted island in the Pacific, with enough food and water, but no cigs. Try Suwarrow in the Cooke Island group - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suwarrow.

All addictions can be overcome, you should commit with your self, and tell all of your friends you won't smoke anymore and you'll have to keep your promise.

what you can get from cigarate , any uses ??
NOTHING ....... just live happily in this world .

I agree, it's scary how your lungs look after you've been smoking for several years.

Imagine how much money you could save in 6 months or a year.. Imagine what you can do with that money.. And since you are on bitcointalk forum: Imagine how much BTC you can buy instead of cigarettes. <- This might be a good motivation. You're still young with hopefully many years ahead, don't waste your money on smoking, that shit adds nothing positive to your life/health.

I see that 6 months have passed since you opened this topic, so I'd like to know what your current status is. Are you still smoking? Have you tried to quit?

i smoked for 18 years but for the last 3 years, i only smoked one cigarette a day.

It was hard at first but limiting myself to 1 cigarette meant that i didnt have to give up the habit completely - in addition that 1 cigarette i had each day felt like a treat.

after 3 years of that, quitting completely was a lot easier for me.

vaping

its a proven "healthier" alternative to cigarettes. when you vape no combustion is occurring unlike in the case of a cigarette. combustion of the tobacco, tar, additives in the cigarette creates smoke which contains carbon monoxide among other things. none of these things are produced when you vape. vaping allows us to give ourselves the small bit of nicotine we crave in a much healthier form than years ago. vaping can be a very easy transition from smoking to completely smoke/nicotine free. Also, e-liquid (the juice inside of vaping devices) unless you get it from some hole in the wall gas station or who knows where.. as long as your e-liquid is from a reputable distributor, rest assured it only contains Propylene Glycol, Vegetable Glycerin, tiny amount of flavor extract for cooking (no high fructose corn syrup) and lastly nicotine. PG and VG are both food grade substances approved by the FDA. When the vapor mist is inhaled which is created by the heating of these substances, the lungs are able to absorb it and what is absorbed is execreted through your urine and sweat. Unlike the tar that builds up in your lungs from smoking cigarettes.. that doesnt go anywhere..

Vaping is not proven to be completely 100% SAFE! (however many UK based studies have been able to prove as high as 95% safer than cigarettes..) but regardless it is a much healthier option compared to smoking and it should prove far more easy for you to transition to being completely smoke free, compared to just quitting cigarettes cold turkey.

Everyones moving to Juuls now to stop, not sure how effective that really is

There is no easy way. Just stop for a week, try something new like going out. You could also try to dip instead of smoking.

Create yourself a motivation, go in for sports, or promise someone, afraid to break the word! And the best fight against smoking is your own awareness of how bad it is.

Ask for help in the rehabilitation center

smoking is dangerous to health. you need to stop it. you can get your self the artificial cigarette known as E-cigarette. try it. it works perfectly well. also drink a lot of water as well.

Firstly if you have a habit to take tea then try to leave it and when you feel bad without taking tea and smoking then use Chuingum. I hope it will help you to quit smoking.

Switch to vape and slower lower the nicotine levels, until you hit 0!

I smoked more than a pack a day. About 2 years ago my sister brought over a Juul and made me try it. I had tried different E-cigs before and they were laughable. But the Juul hit so perfectly and I went out and bought one the same day. I had no intention of quitting cigarettes, I just thought it would be great to have something to smoke between cigarettes if it was cold or rainy outside. Without even trying, I just stopped going outside!

It's been 2 years now and 3 of my sisters, my best friend and my husband have all easily switched to the Juul.

It's not a perfect solution obviously, but I no longer cough and hack in the morning, my fingers and teeth aren't yellow and the best part is I don't smell like an ashtray anymore!

I think when I am ready it will be much easier to transition off of the Juul than it would have been from cigarettes. I sincerely think the Juul has increased my quality of life. I really think you should try it if you don't think you will be able to quit smoking cold turkey.

Nah, I don't think vape will do good to you as well. If you really quit smoking, then go for it, no need to find replacements whatsoever.

How I did it? We have a friendly bet amongst friends that who ever quit will be given a pack of beer. Yes, it looks simply as it sound but I was able to quit. Well not quit as in zero smoke a day but I learn to minimize it and now I'm on the road to quitting it successfully.

You need to have great willpower and desire to quit. Promise yourself that you will never be sick to poison your body, to realize that you can do without it! Not everyone is so (

Well, wayback 2014 i quit smoking for almost a year. all i do is everytime i feel eagerness to smoke. i just buy some chewing gum to reduce my addiction. and also if you want to really quit smoking. be broke. be broke that even buying a cigarette you can't even afford. i was in that situation back then.

I suggest you chew gum or find less health hazardous alternatives like E-cig.

Smoked for 13 years, helped the electronic cigarette with the same puff.
Nicotine addiction still remained, but all the harmful symptoms of smoking, the smell from the mouth, shortness of breath, yellowing of the teeth disappeared.

We have almost the same experience as your husband as i smoked at the age of 14and just 2017 when I tried to flushes all my remaining cigarettes,and look for more reasonable things in life than smoking from then i found new sets of friends from our community whos all of them are none smokers and the other two is quitter same as mine.from that day forward never in my thought that i look for cigarettes again

The only way to stop smoking is to stop buying cigarettes and don't approach people who shop so that we are not tempted to smoke again. There is no effective way to stop smoking if we do not have a strong intention to stop smoking.

Dedication and gum!

If and when you quit Nicotine, take 10mg Full-flush Vitamin B3 (Niacin) x 4 times a day: once after breakfast, once after lunch, once after dinner and once before bed. Only do this if you're not using nicotine replacements, such as gum patches or vaping.

On Day 3, increase to 20mg x 4 times a day, and maintain that dose for two weeks before coming back down to 10mg x 4 times a day.

After 6 weeks gradually taper off the Niacin to zero.

The way it works is that Niacin (aka Nicotinic Acid) is structurally closely related to Nicotine. In fact, they use the same neural receptor: The Nicotinic Receptor. What the body actually wants is Nicotinic Acid (aka Vitamin B3), but sadly the Nicotine molecule binds to the Nicotinic Receptor far more efficiently than Nicotinic Acid, hence the brain gets confused.

So when you quit Nicotine, you wanna patch up the empty Nicotinic Receptor with Nicotinic Acid as soon as possible. If done correctly, you shouldn't experience any cravings at all.

In order to quit something, you should prepare doing something in replace to that. Simply, the time you consume doing the activity that you want to stop, should be taken by another activity in order to have a full stop. I am before addicted into drinking but gladly a found a game.

Can you suggest activities in which I could replace my habit? I am also a smoker.

Try playing basketball and other sports. But if you are not into sports, try computer games, but personally what made me enjoy things at home is through online gambling (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm) . So that's on you if you would listen in my advice.

Sometimes what we have already practiced when we were in grade that we have brought up we grow up is already hard to be changed just like what you have because you have already been doing that for so long and a sudden pause might also lead for a dangerous. You must slowly lessen your cigarette in take from the regular in takes you have until you can make yourself stick into 1 cigarette and suddenly make it gone. Divert your attention into other things to keep you away from smoking. Keep yourself doing sports, working, also doing leisures like online games because distracting yourself away from smoking will be a good help. Focus yourself into something that will be worthy of your interest just like my friend did. I am not into smoking but it is proven and tested to distract yourself into something like playing games just like an online casino which you can conveniently play casino games like what I have found and currently into  online casino (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm) which you can enjoy playing and at the same time have that chance of obtaining their welcome bonus once you have done at your first deposit.

Me as well is not into smoking or even into drinking liquors because I am pretty much concern with my health care for the fact that those vices are really dangerous for the lungs and liver that's why I do not want to get engage with it. On my opinion, I do agree that diverting your dependence on smoking into something which can gain your interest is the best way to help you quit smoking. Playing sports and keeping yourself busy on other stuffs will help. Now that you have said that playing online casino might help, I got interested knowing why and it gives me excitement because I guess it worth a try.

I was once a cigarette addict, but had a coughing bloody pain from cigarettes and after that I stopped smoking.

This is the best advice you will get here from a medical point of view... Stopping smoking has to be a gradual process and Niacin will do the magic.
I hope OP gets to see this, and we would really love to get a feedback from you about your progress.

You will better know how and this  online casino (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm) could help once you have try it. Enjoy the great deal of bonus when you do your first deposit on it.

You must have a strong intention to stop smoking, if you have no intention, it's useless because the main factor for us to change is from ourselves, and after that stay away from the smoking environment. Maybe that's all.

Don’t hang out with people who smoke

Quitting an addictive vice is very hard, specially smoking. This takes time, progress and perseverance on quitting. Me personally, I needed a really good inspiration to quit, because everyone wants to quit anyways. In the progress of achieving it I entertain and put my attention away by managing my altcoin assets through Bitrus that has many tools that'll help you focus on it more.

You just need something to replace it or just take it easy,
First lessen your daily smoking then replace it with something like bubble gum or candy,
You could do it if you really want to quit.

There will be days when all you want to do is give in to your cravings. Don’t do it. Quitting will be the best thing you ever do for yourself, but you have to stick with your plan.

It will not easy for anyone who smoke regularly. Person always think to avoid smoking but they can't , it all about self believe

My uncle stopped smoking only after he had been starting going to church. Got helps)

This is a long thread, I suppose, this is quite a common problem! Personally, I don't know about smoking, but I face a big love for sweet things. Maybe some advice will be helpful for me as well

I really don't understand why somebody can't quit smoking. It was so easy for me. I've read about several cases on Addiction Resource maybe they can help you.

If you have coughed up blood, I would advise you to visit a doctor as this is a very serious symptom

Congratulations that it became easy to you but we don't have the same attitude when regards to quitting smoke or any kind of addiction. For all that still struggles to quit smoking, look for another hobby. And don't think that visiting an expert to consult is expensive because it's your health that is at stake.

Most people can't quit smoking because in reality they don't really want to do it. So they are thinking about quitting because of they are spending a lot of money on cigarettes while hurting their health but in the same time they don't want to do it because they think it is cool and they have something to spare their time with.

Watch enough youtube videos about people who got lung cancer from smoking and it'll help you to quit that habit.

I thought about quitting a few times, but never really wanted to.

And here comes the morning when i don't have a bit of desire to smoke. I had a cigarette though, the second one, tried friend's iqos, but didn't enjoy it, my body was just "hey dude no more of this shit" and it's been like 2 or 3 month since that day. I don't physically want it, mentally too but i still like the smell of good tobacco and miss that morning mood

very easy, just quite ..... there our no super thing, just quite

also smoking is getting old and out of fashion, younger and younger less and less smokers

I want to quit Smoking is certainly difficult especially if you are a smoker , I think you need to reduce cigarettes smoked per day cigarettes

Get into the habit of sliding a hair up each cigarette you attempt to smoke, before you light the thing. If the hair is too flexible, make it a porcupine quill.

Cold turkey which is going to be a rough couple weeks but if you replace it with zero stimulants (cutting out all caffeine too) it'll be helpful

It's probably been said 100 times already over the span of these gazillion pages, however:

You have to truly want to! I think that's the main key. If you truly don't want to do something... well.

It's a shame because for those of us who have at least half a braincell; we are fully aware of the both the health implications, and also the social implications (on family and friends as a result of the health) which are a direct result of smoking - yet continue to do so due to the fact that the contents of non-organic tobacco (aka over-the-counter-cowboys-and-camels) is highly addictive.

I travelled to Turkey, and tried some organic tobacco, farm grown. 0 additives. Wow. This is not the contents of cigarettes! Different product completely.


Basil and Mint. Both green, both herbs. Same thing.

Go to the hospital and undergo rehabilitation

Whenever one intend to smoke it is good to spend those time with friends or can focus on something interesting. Apart from the same it is good to participate on Smoking Cessation anonymous programs through which people who came out of smoking share their experiences and making lives more successful.

Anybody mentioned great book written by Allen Carr? Two of my relatives did quit after reading it..

1. Prepare for quit day, Do not smoke at all. Stay busy.
2. Use NRTs chewing gum, lozenges.

You can try many different ways but on the end of day your will and determination is only what matters, believe me!
Without strong commitment and determination no way you can succeed here.

I think the best way to quit in something is by lessen it day by day untill you finally quit on it.
Or try to divert it into something else I read that other people tried it with bubble gum if you want to quit then try that method.
Just find something to replace it little by little.

This strategy is never going to work for most people and that's because your addiction is no going to disappear if you smoke less daily. Your addiction will remain the same because you are feeding it everyday with what it needs. The only way you can quit smoking is to do it suddenly and anyone can do it. It only a matter of choice if you want to do it or not.

My partner also quit smoking because of vape and now rarely use it.

Chewing gum or lollipop might help to somehow minimize your desire to smoke.

Its not easy but you need to help yourself if you're really determine to quit.

Stop being with other smokers,let yourself with other people that hates smoking.

Read articles about Smoking and how this kills our body.

actually easy, provided you really intend to stop smoking. I used to be an active smoker every day even spending 2-3 packs of cigarettes and now can stop because of intention.

In fact, nobody can hand over anything suddenly One has got to try slowly but if an individual takes it that he won't be ready to hand over anything if he wishes it'll usually depend upon himself. I feel we'd like to be hooked into other things rather than quitting smoking once we get hooked into it we've to stay busy and decide to eat something else.

I started Smoking from age of 12 and maintain my habits for more than 20 years but i am lucky having quit from this Bad Vices 6 years ago.

You want to quit smoking?then start loving your self,Love your family,and love your Life.

Those 3 will surely help you stop smoking.

How to quit?

Let me tell you a story, once a father found that his teen son is smoking then he got an idea to quit him from smoking so he bought a lot of cigarettes like 10000 or even more and asked him to smoke all those cigarettes overnight,while son also tries to smoke and smoke and finally smoked every cigars then he started to hate those cigar and never touched in his entire life time.

Moral of the story :.......?

This is absurd but it really happened, that I quit smoking after being hypnotized to smoke a cigarette with the taste of chicken droppings.

to stop smoking is easy and it depends on you. You need to keep candy in your pants pocket, to replace cigarettes.

Yes you can quit smoking , but remember don't touch others Intoxication after quit smoking. First day by day you should need reduce cigarettes after few days later you can leave smoking life. Secondly when you fell like smoking time then those time you should spend others work because for forget.

Jeeesus...
It is going to be extremely hard to stop after smoking since kid.

I think vape with necotine would help you a little. Using different vape mixture and cutting down the % of nicotine in it.

slowly move to vaping with nicotine juice. then slowly move to non-nicotine juice. it really helped me get off that addictive nicotine!

It’s very difficult for him who want to  leave from smoking after using  long time this bad habits. But I think it’s possible, If you promise never smoke any situation or any cost. Then you can quite from this habit.   

If it's already part of a daily routine, it's hard to stop someone to buy. He'll do many things so he can simply buy one to fulfill his hunger to smoke.

But this is good advice, if someone can practice this for a long time, he'll gradually stop.

Well if it is just a routine it is easy to stop it.
It takes around a week to change a routine and set up a new one.
You just have to do other things instead of buying cigars or smoking them. Day by day the addiction is going to be reduced and in the end you will have no desire for smoking.

Eat your cigarettes so you won't smoke again for sure.

And I agree with that if you do it frequently and you spend your money in other things than buying a cigarette then you can do and overcome it.

This is absolutely bad habit man, for that smoking your health will never alive good place. Your lungs can be very badly affected by smoking. Coughs, colds, wheezing and asthma are just the start. Do you know for Smoking causes 84% of deaths from lung cancer and 83% of deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

the best way to quit cigarettes is by seeing it as a poison to your life, killer. then you will stop it.

You should not force yourself to quit smoking. It will just exacerbate your desire of nicotine. It is better to discipline yourself to taper down your cigarette consumption. You have to strictly follow your plan before and after your final quit day. It is also recommended to make your self busy like having a good physical exercise or doing your favorite hobby. Family support would also be helpful. It is better to be with non smoker friends or collegues. Stay away from triggers that can remind you about your smoking habits or better to just stay in places where smoking is prohibited.

Just a strong decision and consistency

Move to New York City

$15 per pack

You won't smoke unless you want to be poor
(Or you are crypto millionaire  ;D)

Smokers who dont have control will do everything to sustain their addiction.

I know someone whose working but he only spend his earnings in alcohol, cigaretters and gambling. But he is not a family man so he can still live his life the way he wanted.

Eat a bit of ginger every day.

stop smoking it depends on ourselves because if you are not serious to stop using cigarettes, then you will continue to smoke try to train yourself to avoid cigarette smoking change with good food for your health was better.

PErfect answer mate,i am a smoker since younger age,i smoke for more than 30 years but i made a decision and now i had quit smoking for more than 4 years now.

This is our own will and nothing can push us doing it,because the more we are hindering is the more we want to smoke.

I think it would be better to eat ginger instead of cigarettes For example, if you eat sweet drinks instead of cigarettes you will be able to get rid of cigarette addiction very quickly.

But sweets are bad too  ;)

Do you want to live a shorter life where you do what you like or a longer life and deprive yourself of everything?

Just like anything, the poison is in the quantity. I like having a cookie every now and then, but if I had 20-40 per day, this would be just as deadly as smoking that many cigarettes.

1 or 2-3 cookies per day with an otherwise healthy lifestyle and diet probably wouldn't be that detrimental. Hell, it might even be good for mental health because you don't feel like you are denying yourself all of life's simple pleasures. Same thing with tobacco.

There is even a doctor who wrote about the health benefits of tobacco in moderation. (less than 5 cigarettes per day or choose cigars and pipes over cigarettes since you're not inhaling paper and added chemicals)

Most notorious cigar smokers usually do alright with regards to health and longevity - Winston Churchill, Michael Jordan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Fidel Castro, the list goes on. Michael Jordan was said to have a cigar before every home game lol.  8)

Don't quit smoking suddenly, 90% of people quit smoking suddenly. Basically very few people succeed in this way. The rest of the people became frustrated and started smoking again. So take some time, prepare mentally, take the help of others then try to leave slowly. You can quit smoking by exercising regularly. Because regular exercise reduces the demand for smoking. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Focus on other foods to suppress nicotine cravings.

I personally don't smoke because I've seen my grandfather's struggles (a chainsmoker) when he was confined inside the ICU for 2 months and a half due to emphysema, before his eventual demise thereafter. :(

With that being said, I have an aunt that lives with us back in the day when I was still a teenager and she's a habitual smoker too. Also, I clearly recall the days that I'm constantly telling her to smoke smoking and she told me that one day when she's ready, she'll just suddenly stopped smoking instead.

Lo and behold, I wasn't really expecting it but it did happened after a few years later and she did successfully stopped smoking altogether, just like what she told me a couple of years ago.

Cold turkey man...that is the only advice that I can give you, smoking is the hardest habit to quit..out of all the people that I know, the ones that were able to quit can be counted on fingers...the psychological addiction is too hard to break but it is possible, I think you should exchange that bad habit and occupy your mind with another positive one such as exercise, hitting the gym or do some boxing classes

good sentence: "only you can motivate yourself"...
quitting smoking is not an easy job, it needs a strong encouragement from within yourself. your child, your wife or even your parents will not be able to make you stop smoking. I never smoked but I suggest that you reduce your cigarettes per day, do not immediately stop smoking, you must do it slowly so that your body and mind adjust to changes that you do that.

I totally agree! Because real change only happens from within us and it will only move the body forward (once the mind is willing) to achieve that same goal.

that is the power of intention... (´∀｀•)
family is just your spirit booster, they can not do more than give any full support when they want to stop smoking, full control is in your hands, if you are not able to control your strong desire to stop smoke then it's futile. quitting smoking is not extraordinary but for someone personally, it is an extraordinary achievement.

I am a smokoer at least habit 5 years and now 2-3 month slowly slowly i wanna leave. Because it's for suggest doctor even i have sick many time for this smoking. My taste of the mouth less long and many time i did not eat foods. Although now im good and soon i will leave smoking life totally.

O my gosh!! You are practicing cigarettes from when you were only 9 years old!!! Seriously?   ??? I'm sure, then it's already a part & parcel in your life. Well it's not possible to quit it easily. Try to quit 2/3 Ciggarate in a week. I think thus you can control yourself and easily quit Ciggarate

Find a reason to quit. Let me share to you the lovestory of my friend. She has an asthma but she fall in love with the guy who is addicted to smoke. The guy also fall for my friend and try courting my friend. Now to break the gap between them, the boy instantly stopped smoking just to prove the love for her. Up to now, they are still together.

I totally agree! It ain't rocket science, therefore, just do it. And for whatever reason that you say not to stop or quit, it's really only a matter of perspective regarding what's really more important in one's life at a certain point in time.

I don't smoke so i don't k iw how does it feels quitting smoke. But as i can see, you have to slowly cut the number of cigar you consume everyday then do it until you consume only a single cigar a week and do it untill you're not craving for it.

To lessen the consume of cigarette you need an alternative to not crave for it, so a chewing gum can help to not crave, though it wont be easy for others who smoke for long period already. Discipline is needed here and determination to overcome the addiction on cigarettes.

In some country, it is normal to see a child smoke, and they took their daddy cigarettes ;D

We don't know why their parents allow them to smoke, but hm maybe it's because their habit in that society, so we will feel that it is strange and weird to see a child less than 10 years old are smoke in front of adult people.

I think the best way still is not to stop totally, but to gradually lessen your intake. say for example you are consuming 20 sticks a day, make it a point to lessen it to 5 sticks, but do not quit cause it can have a negative effect in the long run.

Sometimes there are situation that we are being motivated by others,specially those People that has been desperately wanted to quit while they find no reason after that.

I have a friend that decided to quit when he Met a person that Lose His voice because of smoking.

though i cannot make Him follow me when i quit years back.

You need to have the conviction to be able to stay away from smoking, so if you do not have the conviction and the will, you will not be able to get away from it and you can use some medications that help to get away from it.

I agree. If you want it enough, you can do it yourself.
IF you don't want it enough, then you can't do it anywhere.

I know one person, who quit smoking because of love.

They say if you stop some habit for at least 21 days you don't need it anymore so I guess for the first step try to stop it on the first 21 days and then buy yourself a gift for your achievement  :)

'as long as there is an intention there will be a way'...
Your friend quit smoking because he met a person who lost his voice because smoking was the result of an intention that he had wanted to do for a long time that is to quit smoking. congratulations to your friend for being lucky to have successfully quit smoking.

Make a plan to quit smoking and follow it.
Get some stop smoking support.
You can also make some non-smoking Friends, they will help you to stay away from it.

I know it's hard, nicotine addiction sucks. You could try substituting with vape (ecig), or try those nicotine patches...

Very easy, reduce cigarettes every day. At least 1 day with 1 cigarette,

THIS. It's more psychological than scientifical. Just like any other addiction (to varying degrees, obvioulsy)

Let you know, more than 8-10 million people deaths each year in the whole world caused by smoking. So If you want to live with your family you have to quit smoking but its not so easy to quit it on one day; it is a long journey. You can select a time, try not to smoking then. Besides medication or having therapy can be applied to give up smoking.

My suggestion is:

- find a motivation = why you want stop smoking?
- reduce the amount of cigarette smoked, trying to reach a very low amount daily (around 2-5)
- set up a date for quitting (likewise one year/next month etc)
- if you have a strong cough DON'T smoke. Human body will craving for nicotine just in the few weeks/days. In this manner you have gained some days of smoking free despite having all negative effect related abstinence.
- if you are without cigarettes DON'T buy it. Close yourself at home (if you can) or use a substitute for few days like nicotine chewing gum.
- make sport (running is the best) when you are not smoking (it helps to clear the lung and meanwhile you can expel more nicotine with your sweat).

I used to be a smoker. I just kept on making myself busy with different things like gaming and work. I just woke up one day that I don't like smoking anymore.

That is a really long period of time. Did you try vaping? You can regulate the amount of nicotine in it.

This is fantastic news that you had strong courage to say no to smoking and had desire to quit it. It really requires people to be serious about it when comes to quitting as it’s never easy. Keeping busy helps as you get involved into something else and slowly may let go and day comes where you will be fine even without smoking.

This is an alternative for those who want to quit smoking cigarettes but this ain't different from the activity. It's going to be hard for real for those who are pushing to quit smoking.

But just try to practice limiting it per day and reducing the number you smoke until you to get to the lowest to zero. A gradual process could do the thing and help you get out of it.

These are very good recommendations. Trying to quit to smoke is one of the hardest things I did and I relapsed so many times. One thing I would to add here is to not be too hard on yourself if you relapse. Almost everyone of my friends who wanted to stop smoking relapsed. It's just about to happen. For me the hardest was always when going out and drinking alcohol and people started smoking around me. Don't be to hard on yourself, best to look at every day on it's own.

I hope it was easy to quit just like that. It really depends on the smoker I remember the saying "if there's a will, there's a way".

Vape is a good alternative. My cousin switch to vaping and he is using an e-juice with less (or nothing at all) nicotine. Now I can see him vaping rarely and not smoking too.

Smoking is an escape from the present life situation. It is a kind of getting boosted that can be done even without having smoke. Just you have to get strong will for it. For that one has to look for self worth and boost it with whatever ways. Eat healthy. Busy your schedule. Meditiate and breathe deeply. You will feel that the need for smoke will be decreasing with time. Donot go for nicotine addicting gums and all. Just focus to build your mind strong

You have to work hard in this case! Try not to buy cigarettes for a week and if it works then try for another week! Also u can try mediation....it helps!

You can even search for Nicotex it helps in removing the cigarette addiction.

Hope this helps!🤞

My cousin said vaping is more dangerous than smoking because you need to refill it with liquid, which we don't know if that is safe. Although the smells of vaping are quite different than smoking, I still don't recommend vaping.
Maybe if someone wants to quit smoking, he needs to have a strong will to stop, and he must have control over himself to say not to smoke.

Nope vaping is just another source of Health problem provider ,and besides what is the sense of quitting smoking when you are still smoking though it is electric way?

you only regulating the amount of nicotine but still not proper way of doing such.

Well at least vape pens have only pure nicotine and no other nasty staff like benzol and tar.

I heard people are more addicted to benzol rather than nicotine itself

From my experience, addiction to bad/unhealthy things or lifestyle can easily be stopped gradually, or stopped instantly/permanently through repentance and depending on GOD to heal and hold you together.
Never believed I would ever get rid of a bad addiction until I tried the latter... and it's permanent solution I am very confident will never return if I continue to depend on HIM.
I'm currently not addicted to anything that is bad for me,like bad food, bad drinks, bad lifestyle, masturbation, etc. Wasn't like this before until I totally depend on GOD for help.
And this is absolutely free

My friend of mine has been smoking since he was 13, but thanks to the will and willpower, he quit smoking at 50. He also played sports. I also know of cases where pills have been effective. Some people recommend hypnosis and they say that it helps, but I myself do not really trust hypnosis, but this is just my opinion.

It all depends on how deep a smoker you might be. If you've been consuming fives sticks a day, reduce it to four or three and later one and then you later zero.
It's a gradual process that goes with discipline. Give it a trier and you'll surely see improvement and a stop in no time.

Chantix is a kind of wallet which makes you to be less desirable of consuming nicotine but there are different kind of things available for the same purpose but none of them are really effective with someone who is really addicted to it so its a kind of business to make some money.

It is certainly possible without gradually developing the habit you just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people the urge to smoke arises from time to time. This is why when the urge to smoke arises someone can talk on the telephone someone at the beginning of a conversation someone while watching tv someone after a meal someone or sipping a cup of tea if you try for a while everything will be fine.

yeah i got your point but the thing is peoplea re not really stopping smoking by using vape because it is a smoke also just in form of electronic and less Nicotine and other substances .

So still we don't need to fight smoking but we must fight ourselves from desiring to smoke each time.

I think vaping is much more dangerous, there are some news about accident related to vape such us exploding of the device and etc. And also it produce more smoke even if the smell is good because of the flavor it is still can affect the human health.

I suggest if every advice and replies in the topic didn't work for you then i suggest you should go for a rehabilitation it will be more effective.

Your smoking habit is ingrained in your subconscious mind, try changing your smoking to another habit, stop thinking about it + discipline yourself.
