Filed under Best Way To Quit Smoking
I am 30 years old and have smoked since I was 14. I’ve made efforts to quit but in retrospect, they were half-assed at best. I’ve placed my last unopened pack on the mantle and would like it to stay there, sealed in cellophane for all eternity.
Does anybody have any tricks, suggestion, encouragement, or any manner of advice on how to avoid stress-related cravings and nicotine withdrawal. I prefer to go about this without patches, gum, and other such replacements.
Why Is It So Expensive To Quit Smoking?

I know, it’s not expensive to “simply” stop, but it’s not that simple and I’ve tried it that way many times. It just doesn’t work. I go to buy stop smoking aids, which are conveniently right next to the cigarettes in most stores. I see $50 for a cessation kit, and $4 for a pack of cigarettes, and usually end up leaving the store with Marlboros, vowing that once I get a whole lot more money and can afford $50 in one shot, I’ll buy it and finally quit. I wish they could make cessation methods progressive like cigarettes, like each dose costs $4 per day. I guess it’s a psychological thing because overall, I know I’d end up saving money when I quit, but I can’t help but think what if it doesn’t work and I still need to buy cigarettes? Then I’ve wasted all that money when just $4 would have been a sure thing. Anyone else feel this way? Has anyone found a way around it or have you just gone for the expense and quit? Thanks for reading. I know it was long.

I was a die-hard smoker for 20+ years…. I quit smoking nearly a year ago (last October) and here is what I did. When I chose to quit- I just plain ancient quit. No having a puff or one on a terrible day…. I ongoing out by the patch and it was too heavy for me. So after that I did it on my own. I tell ya- I bitched and moaned…. I talked about it and complained…. I whined and whined…. but I just didn’t smoke. I allowed myself to openly nag. In fact i talked about it for days and days… I just DIDN’T smoke. Since i allowed myself to nag, I let that be the outlet for my desire. It is also a proven fact that a name who has tried to quit in the past has a higher chance of quitting every time they try to quit. So, if this is your first time trying to quit, chances are you will start up again. If this is your 50th time trying to quit, you may be thriving this time….
Just be simple on physically. It’s hard to quit. Just be strong and make it happen for physically. Quitting smoking is one of the best things i ever did for myself. Honestly, I NEVER reckon about it anymore. No more- GOD I NEED A CIGARETTE! The thought never ever crosses my mind anymore. It is hard but SOOOOOOOOO worth it. You’ll feel so proud of physically. Just know that once you really quit smoking and place it behind you – you can then accomplish anything you set your mind to.
Has Any One Used Wellbutrin To Quit Smoking?

Filed under Best Way To Quit Smoking
I want to quit smoking, but it’s sooo hard. Does wellbutrin work or are there any other helpful tips? Besides the gum and patches…
This method works for me and is the only money back guaranteed.
I reasonably 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 physically why Easyway is called “The Cadillac of quit smoking methods.”
HOW THE METHOD WORKS
By 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 by now. As a replacement for it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.
It is dread that keeps smokers hooked!
Dread the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Dread the smoker will be unable to delight in life or handle stress. Dread the smoker will have to go through an dreadful trauma to get free. Dread the smoker will never get absolutely free from the craving.
The Method removes these fears
Smokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as satisfied 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 by 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 form 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 thriving because:
It removes the smokers’ conflict of will.
There are no terrible withdrawal pangs.
It is instantaneous and simple.
It is similarly effectual for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers.
You need not gain weight.
You will not miss smoking.
Health check 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 reasonably such a thriving 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 Sickbay
“I have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very thriving and I wholeheartedly support it as an effectual way to quit smoking.”
Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Sickbay, Hong Kong
“It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded everywhere countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effectual 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 satisfied to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the watch 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 may possibly readily acknowledge. I would be satisfied to give a health check endorsement of the method to anyone.”
Celebrity Endorsements
“His method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, while you are really smoking. I’m satisfied to say it has worked for many of my friends and staff.”
Sir Richard Branson
“Some friends of mine who had stopped by 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 simple but unbelievably enjoyable to stay stopped.”
Sir Anthony Hopkins
The Most Effective Way To Quit Smoking?
November 1, 2009 by admin
Filed under Best 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.
How Can I Quit Smoking, I Wanna To But I Cant?

Filed under Best Way To Quit Smoking
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 Can I Get My Girlfriend To Quit Smoking?

Filed under Best Way To Quit Smoking
My girlfriend smokes. I want her to quit. She doesn’t do it around me but I can always smell it and I just hate how it can effect her health. I have tried to use guilt, saying how its unhealthy to everyone but she just gets pissed when anyone tries to lecture her. she knows how bad it is and she kind of wants to quit. besides her smoking she is the most amazing girl ever.
Try the Money argument:
Make no threats about it. If you dislike it that much, break up with her. This is decision that is very personal, but when made, requires the support of the people around her. It’s a tough decision, but with the cost of cigarettes seeming to go up just as fast as the stock market falls, now is a better time than any to stop.
That is something you can use to convince her to stop. The money factor is huge. For a girl, image how many extra pairs of shoes you could buy with your smoke money? If you smoke a pack a day, that’s about $7 per day, times 30. $210/month times 12 = 2520. For many people, that’s a percentage of their income that they could be using somewhere else- like putting food on the table, gas in their cars, or contributing towards healthcare.
Try the Health argument:
My father was a forty year smoker and was literally killing himslef adn we argued a lot about his smoking! Then i decided to go on the website and get pictures of tongue, lung, and throat cancer and i wrapeed them up with a starting kit to help to quit smoking. IT took him 6 months but he is smoke-free for the past 3 years. Recently he started loosing his breath adn they found out his lung capacity is very low. He told me if i haven’t shown him the pictures of cancer and the pictures of my children and told him if wanted to miss out of all that is dear and loving to him to keep smoking! I also refused for them to be at his house if he continues to smoke! I guess maybe if she has someoneclose to her it may help her!
Anyone Know Of A Way To Quit Smoking Other Than Patches/pill/gum? Something Herbal Or Foods That Curb Cravings
May 23, 2009 by admin
Filed under Best Way To Quit Smoking
A friend of my mother in law went to a hypnotist….it worked….he walked out of there and has NEVER had a craving….its been about 13 years now.
Hypnotherapy is the most successful method I know of. But the real key to quitting smoking is: DON’T SMOKE.
Seriously though, if you can’t do it on your own try hypnotherapy. This form of therapy is often misunderstood and undervalued, but very effective.
There are no patches, pills, gum or herbal medicines that will curb your cravings for smoking. You need to built a strong will power to quit smoking. Remember that tobacco is a very dangerous substance on earth. The God has created this plant for medicinal use but people around the globe have taken it in a different way for their own pleasure and intoxication. When you smoke, the tar enters your lungs and keeps accumulating there like plague. In a long run, it blocks the veins and reduces the passage to accommodate more oxygen into your lungs and you can suffer from short of breath. The bad effect of smoking is well known factors for many kinds of cancers and other diseases. In the first place, I must say that you are inviting biggest trouble by wasting your money, time and health. It affects others in the family also. Since, you wish to know about quitting smoking, please be away from such bad habits and live your precious life gifted to you by the Almighty by doing some good deed in life. Be a proud child to your patents and Society in general. The animals know the bad effect of tobacco and hence never ever enter a tobacco field to graze. You will never find the animals eating tobacco leaves in tobacco field. I smoked for 25 years and stopped the bad habits in one day without looking back. Now, I enjoy a healthy and stressful life. The money spent on smoking is also saved. My family is very happy now and they are really proud of me.
