Answers:
Quitting smoking is not easythere are two things you need to overcome: the physical part, and the mental part.
THe physical part is easy. you know they will kill you. You know they stink. You know that they are dirty.
Psychologically, its harder. What do you do during your 15 minut break? Thats what keeps me smoking.
Here is my non medical advice: You need to realize just how gross smoking is. Change your diet to incluse more natural foods, especially fruit. Train your tastebuds and the rest of your body to reject unnatural things. Someone who eats 3 oranges a day couldnt smoke a cigarette because they would taste like. paint.
such good advice, I will take it myself.
Other Answers:
Visit a cancer ward, force yourself to be scared of what cancer from smoking will do to you. Look at internet photos of people who have had cancer of the throat, lips, larynx, or lungs.
BTW, my sister died last summer from emphazema caused by smoking and other complications. Her last cigarette.she finished, went into the bathroom because she started coughing really bad.threw up and then laid down on her floor because she could not do anything else. The membrane around her heart suddenly filled up with fluid and she died alone.
Good luck to you.
1st step, cut down on how often you smoke.
2nd step break the cycle of when you smoke (such as stop yourself from smoking straight afer food or first thing in the morning)
3rd switch to a lighter brand cutting your nicotine in take therefore beginning to wean yourself of large doses of nicotine you would get from cigerettes
4th keep yourself busy if you occupy your mind and hands you will stop a lot of your cravings as most cravings are pyscological.
If you feel it would help try nicotine patches or gum which will help prevent cravings.
Good luck
I gave up smoking a year and a half ago, I did it by getting really stubborn, I woke up one morning and just said to myself "enough is enough!! Smoking makes me feel and look like shite, that's it NO MORE!!" And I stopped!! Not magically *poof* cravings are gone but I looked after my self for a change. I took walks, I drank GALLONS of water LOL!! in fact just about every time I felt like a Cigarette I did something good for myself, I ran myself long hot scented baths, i hung out with friends who DIDN'T smoke, I ate good healthy food, and focused on how much better I was feeling. I kept my hands busy ( I made beaded necklaces) Hang out in places where you CAN'T smoke. And Constantly told myself how good I was doing. Then I rewarded myself by using the money I would of spent on something nice for myself.
All the best to you
*****************GoodLuck!.
There is a new thing my boss did that helped him to quit. It costs about 40.00 where I live (in Texas). They put a staple in your ear. Its supposed to control some kind of nerve. It works on losing weight too.
I wish it was so easy. Visiting a cancer ward may help, but I'm an oncology nurse and see the effects of cancer every single day, and yet I smoke. Lung cancer used to scare me, but now I see more head and neck cancer due to smoking than lung cancer. I don't have the answer, but I do wish you luck and strength. I know it's not easy. I've been told you can do it only when you really want to, not when someone else wants you to or if you're quitting for the wrong reasons. I'm still searching for the answer myself.
This method works for me and is the only money back guaranteed.
I quit smoking 2 years ago
Get the Facts
Easyway, founded by Allen Carr in 1983, has the highest independently verified 12-month success rate (75.8% for a smoker completing the program) of any quit smoking technique and a 90% satisfaction rating.
Compare Easyway to other methods and see for yourself why Easyway is called “The Cadillac of quit smoking methods.”
The Allen Carr Method
HOW THE METHOD WORKS
Using psychotherapy, the method works in the opposite way to the “willpower” method. It does not concentrate on the reasons the smoker should not smoke : the money, the slavery, the health risks and the stigma. Smokers know all that already. Instead it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.
It is fear that keeps smokers hooked!
Fear the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Fear the smoker will be unable to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear the smoker will have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear the smoker will never get completely free from the craving.
The Method removes these fears
Smokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted….
TO BE FREE!
What about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?
The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most smokers don’t realise that they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try and quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.
The Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation.
It removes the need and desire to smoke. Once the smoker is in the right frame of mind and they follow the simple instructions, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.
No Gimmicks!
The Method does not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhilators or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment!
The Allen Carr Method is successful because:
It removes the smokers’ conflict of will.
There are no bad withdrawal pangs.
It is instantaneous and easy.
It is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers.
You need not gain weight.
You will not miss smoking.
Medical Endorsements
A personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health
“I have no hesitation in supporting Allen Carr’s work. Many clinics use some of his techniques but it would appear that few do it in quite such a successful package.”
Carole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees
“his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”
Dr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital
“I have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.”
Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong
“It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.”
Dr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research
Fund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London
”.I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.”
Dr PM Bray MB CH.b., MRCGP
“I was really impressed by the method. In spite of the Allen Carr organisation’s success and fame, there were no gimmicks and the professional approach was something a GP could readily respect. I would be happy to give a medical endorsement of the method to anyone.”
Celebrity Endorsements
"His method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, while you are actually smoking. I’m pleased to say it has worked for many of my friends and staff.”
Sir Richard Branson
“Some friends of mine who had stopped using Allen Carr’s method suggested I tried it. I did. It was such a revelation that instantly I was freed from my addiction. Like those friends of mine, I found it not only easy but unbelievably enjoyable to stay stopped.”
Sir Anthony Hopkins
GOOD LUCK
