Has Anyone Tried Chantix? If So, What Were Your Views On It? What Other Aid Can I Use To Quit Smoking?

I would like to quit but like anyone who does smoke, it is a something that is difficult. I don’t want to put on the pounds or be a lunatic.

Ok, so I’ve tried the gums and the patches and my brother tried Chantix. He got depressed on it and still smokes.
I have managed to quit smoking for only a month (twice) in the past. However, at no time did I successfully get nicotine OUT of my body.
About 3 weeks ago, I was trolling the internet and found the website below. This dude has been helping nicotine addicts for 30 years. His advice (which I wholeheartedly agree with) is:
Nicotine is a drug that is addictive. If you cannot quit using nicotine, you are an addict. The ONLY way to overcome nicotine addiction is COLD TURKEY. You must purge your body of the drug. After 72 hours, your body will be rid of nicotine and then all you will have to do is change your daily habits for the next 2 to 3 weeks as the urges become less and less.
It has worked for me and I know I will…. NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF
Good luck

Chantix is an excellent treatment, but you need choose a “quit date” when you will stop smoking. You can smoke during 7 first days to adapt your body, but then you have to make sure to try and stop smoking on your “quit date”.

My grandfather used Chantix and it worked WONDERS for him. He smoked for over 30 years and it helped him quit. An he didnt put on weight either. He also is very active.
Good luck in quitting!

How Can I Quit Smoking, I Wanna To But I Cant?

Im 16 and stupidly got in to smoking, i wanna quit but i cant seem to, my parents don’t know and i don’t want them to ever find out. I have been smoking for about a year I really wanna quit but i don’t know how. Please help

If you believe you have enough will-power you could stop cold turkey.
One day I decided to become a vegetarian, and that was over a year ago, and I’m still one.
Try cutting down slowly, getting down to one per week.
Then just stop, don’t let yourself get to them.
Don’t go out and spend your money on cigs, go buy clothes.
You could also try taking Nicotine gum which will probably fasten the quitting process.
You can purchase it at any pharmacy and Wal-Mart.
Also the Nicotine Gum website ships you a free two week trial of gum or something.

My friend is in the same situation! Quitting smoking is one of the most challenging things you can do, but you have to believe you’re strong enough. Start by weening yourself off. Smoke less each week, so that it’s bearable. Try the nicotine patches and gum, too.
This website is helpful for trying to quit:http://www.anti-smoking.org/?gclid=CJ_2i…
and if you need to talk to someone it’s a great idea to call
1-800-QUITNOW
It’s great that you want to quit! I hope I was helpful

How Do You Stop Smoking Hash?

I am a habitual hash smoker. I have been smoking pot for the last 22 years. I have a life, and I work hard, but I just cant seem to knock it off. Im not a scruffy junkie or anything. But everytime I think I’ll stop, even for a week, I just end up frantic. My wife ends up telling me to go and get some and chill out a bit!
Im not anti drugs, and feel its anybodys right to do whatever they want, but has anyone got any good advice, maybe backed up with experience?
I havent been clean and straight for over 20 years now and I feel there is more to me than this.
I have lots of good memories, all of them with an under current of being a bit stoned and a bit dull because of it.
I have used pretty much all other drugs at some time or another, recreationally, but I always smoke pot every day.
So? Any good ideas? I dont want to have to hate it, so no exteme hypno, and all of my freinds smoke and I dont want to have to ditch them, so no big enviroment change therapies either.

If you smoke hash with tobacco its the tobacco that really makes it addictive – if you really want to stop talk to your doctor and he can give you drugs that stop the craving for nicotine and that will help you stop the psychological dependence on pot – Alcoholics anonymous can put you on to ways of controlling addictions and if you really want to stop you will contact your doctor and alcoholics anonymous. If you do not contact your doctor or alcoholics anonymous then you do not really want to quit then stop worrying and just be a stoned geezer and a stoned old age pensioner its one way of getting through this crazy life not the best but one way.

I smoked hash from the age of 15 right up to 42 years old. Both my sons are hash smokers but I hate the stuff now, absolutely detest it and the culture it engenders. I have aso tried everything else, so hopefully I know what I am talking about.
Your big problem will be with your friends. As soon as you stop smoking hash your “druggie status” will have changed in their eyes and their main reason for socialising with you, i.e., to have a smoke- has gone. So don’t kid yourself, once you turn your back on this secretive culture they will quickly turn their back on YOU. You will find out who your real frineds are, and who the “hash smoker” friends are.
Actually you will be surprised how little you miss it, but you have to WANT to stop. You may find that listening to music isn’t so good either. As you get older it’s a natural thing to want to stop smoking hash- it makes people boring. You can always start again in old age, you always have that option.
Look on cannabis as a medication, not a recreational drug. After all you wouldn’t take aspirin if you didn’t have a headache now would you?
Just tell your friends casually you are thinking about stoping and watch their reactions.
