Quit smoking

[Lauda]

Just say STOP. This is not hard psychologically  but It's hard physically because you get addicted to smoking and If you smoke for a long time your body requires nicotine. And if you don't give It you feel bad, that's the problem.. Brains messes up..

This is not hard?
You're mistaken there.

It sounds easy indeed. But once you're addicted - it's not easy at all.

lol I love all the responses from people who obviously have not successfully quit smoking and/or never smoked to begin with.

its easy to stop it at the first 2 days i tried before but whenever im still up at night or get bored i always end up on lighting 1 to 4 sticks for 2 hours   really hard since you are fighting against yourself and urge

It is not easy to stop, but just stopping is the whole show. I Quit some years ago. I had failed in previous attempts. The time I was successful I just determined each day that I was not going to smoke no matter what. It got harder for the first 10 days. After that it got easier each day. Now, I don't even think about it. It can be done!

This type of habits are really hard to deal with. Especially when you already got used to it - smoke when you're bored etc.

I've been smoking for quite some time now and can't drop it. And I don't really want to.

I dont know any sure methods, but my dads been smoking for ages and what helped him so far would be going on hikes in malibu and other areas.

I guess its a matter of creating that mental strength, and feeling clean while you breathe that mt. air.

I noticed though he picked up another habit besides smoking, would be eating way more like eg: pistachios. Which I consider to be a lot better choice obviously.

I`d also try to recommend having a friend that smokes does not help, so avoid situations for you to smoke esp in social atmosphere.

they say that you can also avoid it by eating other foods after every meal or chewing some gums or candy instead of lighting some cigar
congats to your dad for a successful quiting on smoking

I'd say, don't bring any money with you. If you don't have enough money you will not even be able to buy more cigarettes how tempting it might be. If you do need money for shopping other stuff, calculate how much it would cost, and bring just enough. And remember to force your willpower to not buy cigarettes while you hand over the money.

smoking is not bad but if you do in excess and do nothing for his/her stamina then it will sure kill your lungs

Yeah it all depends on your lifestyle and how much physically active you are ..! now days the technology is making us lame and lousy ..! Most of the people leave there house while driving their own vehicle then the y reach their destination and if they have to go to the 5thfloor they will take elevator so almost no physical work and then there is too much mental stress ..! no wonder the number of Fat asses is getting up high each day.

And apparently this thread has derailed from a conversation about ways to quit smoking to a debate as to whether or not smoking is harmful? How the hell did that happen...

believe me 5-6 sticks is not safe either if you are not doin stuff to get equal with it..!

maximum 1-2 sticks in a day . enough to enjoy smoking if you do much

well i have tried before i can light a 12 sticks in a day so i think its a good improvement for me to less it to 6 or 7 sticks a day

If i can come down from being a chain smoker to 2 cigarette a day than I don't think coming down from 7to5 will be hard for you
