Need to stop smoking how did you?


Question:
I have smoked ( just cigarettes) for almost 16 yrs now. I would love to stop but haven't really tried yet. What is the way that would be easiest? I really don't want to spend a whole lot of money though!

Answers:
No easy way.... You have make an addiction for your body NOw that you have smarted up you will need to throw away the pack and walk away. drink lots of water to help get rid of the poison, volunter at a lung clinic, animal clinic or just keep really busy for a few weeks one day you will wake up and say "why did it take sooooo long to quit... I feel great!" & you will deserve a treat use all that money you saved to buy a nice gift for yourself... just not a pack of cigarettes!!

Other Answers:
I just quit, cold turkey, never looked back. It wasn't easy. Hubby had to use Zyban.
Well butrin, made it a piece of cake.
Do it one second at a time.

If you think you can't make it 10 minutes, try one minute.
If you can't make one minute, try 10 seconds.
Each time you make yourself wait, make sure it is longer.

You can do this, one second at a time.
COLD TURKEY
tell someone to do not buy you cigarettes
I stopped by allowing myself a cigarette on the hour every hour. If I got busy (on phone etc) when the EXACT hour came and went I had to wait until the EXACT next hour arrived. I did this for about a week and found that I was missing (and surving) the missed hour so I went to 1 cigarette every 2 hours on the hour and if I missed one had to wait for another 2 hours.(making it 4 hours ibetween smokes. Eventually it was 8 hours in between and then no cigarettes at all. Worked for me. You could always start by half hour if full hour is too long,m but the effect will be the same if you MAKE yourself wait til the next designatrd time. Hope this works for you too.
