The Most Effective Way To Quit Smoking?

ive tried, stop smoking groups, one-2-one’s with nhs folk, tried the chewys, tried the lozange, tried the patches, the only i probably havent tried was the inhalor. Any advise on effective ways to quit and stay quit….

I’m on day 12 today and I have patches through the NHS to do it, This is my 3rd attemp with the NHS helping me and both times i started smoking again before was due to drinking in a pub and my willpower leaving me with each drink I had. I am hoping this time the smoking laws will be in pubs by the time i ‘go it alone’ with no patch.

I have tried patches, lozenge’s (Yeuk) chewing gum (Not too good) and the inhalator (I thought was a good idea for my pub time – turned out it wasnt)
1st time i gave up was for about 6 months
2nd time was 19 months

This time I’m NOT going back to it!

My stop smoking consultant told me last week that he doesn’t recommend the inhalator as it is not quitting the hand to mouth habit AND the getting a ‘Hit’ of nicotine as you inhale through it, one puff on one of those is almost as strong as 10 puffs on a normal cigarette! So it is a ‘hit’

I have not done a group session, i prefer the one to one, but you really have to want to do it, and to stop people smoking in your house has helped me BIG TIME already this time, i was always lenient before, my other half is now cutting down as he has to smoke in the garden…. Its a massive help to me though.
