how do you stop smoking?


Question:
my friend smokes and she wants to stop. any ideas? real answers please.

Answers:
There are several over the counter aids to assist one to quit smoking, in truth, the only way to stop is to have a strong desire in the very marrow of your being to quit. Support of ones family or partner is a must and you have to be in a smoke free environment. The toughest period will the first week as the body purges it's self of the poisons. The urges to smoke will be strongest during this period. Most people fail in the first week, this is why support is so important. The desire for a cigarette never totally goes away, the urges come further and further apart, something always seems to trigger the urge, a social setting, a wisp of smoke etc,etc. You must resist the urge to relapse. Without sounding too much like a reformed prostitute preaching the virtues of chastity, I quit cold turkey 25 years ago and have never slipped.
Everytime she gets a pack of cigarettes, take them and then give them back telling her you wiped one of them on your butt.
