Methods To Quit Smoking

im almost 18
if i stopped smoking would i become normal again
as fresh as a baby’s bum? or am i forever cursed?

I am trying to quit smoking. Smoke 10 cigs a day for 25 years. Tried cole turkey, cutting gradually etc. I do not want drugs like the patch or chantix due to more side effects. I would like to know if anyone else has had success with Bravo lettuce tobacco and tar free cigs. They claim many people quit after a short time since the nicotine gets out of your body.

i just quit 2 days ago and i was wanting to get a list of reasons to stop smoking to carry with me when i have an urge to smoke. can you guys help me?

i have brought quit smoking gum and am having trouble getting it to stay in one place at the back of my mouth and i need some advice. this is a weird question i know but im trying to quit and this gum is going to drive me mental and are starting to kinda burn my mouth and i am allergic to patches yet desperate to quit smoking and i dont want to pack it in so any help would be great. thanks!

Not even the most committed smoker can deny the current body of evidence that supports the fact that smoking is bad for you. Quitting smoking is really difficult, there is no denying that, but there are also many strategies that will help you give up smoking.

You might be like so many other smokers who tell everyone they like to smoke and never want to quit. Isn’t the real truth that you have tried before and are a bit scared to try again in case you fail again? You aren’t alone.

There are really only three things you need to do to quit smoking for good. The first is to make a decision and commit to seeing it through. Write a list of reasons why you will quit, copy it and have a copy where you refer to it at any time. The bathroom mirror is a great place, so is the dashboard of your car. This step gets your head right, possibly the most important thing.

Secondly, seek help. You no longer have to go it alone or suffer major nicotine withdrawals. Go to your doctor, who can prescribe medication to help you quit. See a pharmacist who will have a variety of products that will help with the cravings. Consider alternative therapies like hypnosis, naturopathic medicine and massage. There are support groups to help you, in meetings, over the phone and online.

Step 3 is making some lifestyle changes to help you kick the habit. Change your routine to eliminate “smoking” times; change your diet to one that is balanced and free from fatty, sugary and fast food; cook at home and experiment with new flavors and ingredients. Take up a new sport or hobby; get outside and garden, take a walk or cycle, go for a morning swim, play with the kids. Exercise and fresh air are really important to help you feel good. Take a class in something that interests you; learn yoga or meditation to help you deal better with stress.

Decide to put these 3 steps to quitting smoking into place and enjoy your new smoke-free life.
