K I NEED TIPS ON STOPPING SMOKING

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I smoked for 36 yrs and quite 9 months ago cold turkey with the stop-smoking drug called "Chantix". Some people claim there's bad side effects but honestly? I think they're probably hypocondriacs. Sigh. Me, my brother (smoked 35 yrs) and my husband (smoked 30 yrs) all quite 9 mo ago at the same time with Chantix-none of us have gone back to smoking. The only time I think about cigarettes is when someone mentions it. If it makes you feel better-all nicotine is out of your system in 3 days. Just 3 days. After that it's the psychological addiction (habit) that you deal with. I thank God every day that I quit and I wish you the best.
PS Go to WhyQuit.com for some good info.
Edit: Greenterra, I didn't see your post until after I posted lol Congrats and it's great to see someone else had as good of luck as I did with Chantix (called Champix in other countries).
Yes, Chloe, you can get it over there. The UK is a country with one of the highest number of smokers and bazillions have quit with this drug over there. It makes it so easy.
 
Get one of those large thick rubber and wear it on your wrist. Everytime you get the urge to smoke, pull back on that rubberband and let it snap. :thumbsup:
 
It really depends on how long you've been smoking. If you dont want to use those patches, try chewing gum or have a candy in your mouth. For some reason, that does the trick for me everytime I tried quitting.I have actually quit for a year straight, but unfortunately I went back due to stress. Usually, you only crave for cigarettes in the first 2/3 weeks, after that you just get used to it. Good luck.
 
Hypnosis... Seriously, I know its sounds crazy, but two of my friends did it 3years ago and they've never gone back. G'luck!
 
i quit cold turkey in january so i could afford peacock bass :) i used nothing i was just ready to quit and i smoked for over 20 years but i drank a couple beers at night to mellow me out you really want to quit just do it ya u wont be pleasent for a while just warn everyone you are obviously just having jitters dont give up on it the first 48 is the worst of it you can do it if you really want too good luck :headbang2
 
i have been cold turkey with out a cig for the last week. you just have to be willing to quit.

it also helps if you have a S/O that wants you to quit. my girlfriend hates them so i stopped for her.
 
I used to smoke. When I had the urge, I had to smoke a ciggarette. But after I finishied smoking, I felt like crap and I smelled bad from the cigs. Smoking ciggarettes will make you feel like crap and it kills brain cells. It will age you and make your health decline. I put this in my mind all the time and after a while, I knew smoking was horrilbe then I just quit. I know it is hard the first time, but once you dont smoke for about a month, the urge to smoke will go away and you will not think about smoking.
