How can I quit smoking painlessly??

Question:

I have been smoking for 16 years and want to quit but can't seem to do it! HELP!

Answers:
follow this simple yet effective regimen: if you smoke about 18 cigs a day now, starting tomorrow keep track and only smoke 17 cigs. do that for a whole week, it isn't even hard. the next week smoke only 16 cigs a day ( don't lose track). the next week smoke 15 cigs a day and so forth. when you get down to five increase the time period to two weeks. after the two weeks you are down to four. then just keep going at the two week pace and you will be smoke free. try it!

Do things that cause you to be too busy to smoke.

thats sad! seriously! my dad had the same thing, he used that nicorette crap! the best way to replace a habit is with another habit or some kind of distraction. i used video games to help me stop. video games force you to concentrate and use your hands a lot and it made me forget about smoking.

Almost impossible, buddy. Nicotine is thought to be as addictive as heroin and cocaine. Many believe in the 12-step model that you are always an addict. Stopping smoking is necessary, but rarely, if ever, painless. Hard work and determination are the keys, as usual.

cyanide. that'll stop you from smoking and pretty much everything else as well.

This is how I quit. I watched my father suffocate very slowly. It took 4 weeks in the hospital. He was a smoker for many years and refused to quit. The really sad thing was. he knew what was happening and every time he looked you in the eye.. there was fear and suffering. I smoked my last cigarette then and there. He died of empazema. Painlessly? There will be pain. Well, not really pain (besides maybe a headache for the first day or two) but cravings will be there for sure.

I used the nicotine patch. It worked for me. I still do smoke sometimes when I drink. Alcohol is a bad trigger for momentary relapses for me.

I tried the gum, but it made me have intestinal issues. Also, the gum was like a cigarette in that it was a crave-fix-crave-fix cycle. I prefer the patch because it just kept the cravings down. I never felt more than an "It would be nice to smoke." On the gum, it was like "GIVE ME A CIGARETTE" and then I would quickly pop some gum to battle down the craving. Much better to not let the craving get that bad to begin with, in my opinion.

Not everyone has digestive problems with the gum.

Good luck. Pick a date to quit that works for you!

u can quit smoking when u really want. Just drop the cigarette in fingers.
