The best method to give up cigarettes ===> stop smoking!?

Here's how you Quit Smoking; I've Answered this Question here before, and got Voted "Best Answer". The First Thing You have to do is to Admit that You Enjoy Smoking! Cigarettes Taste so Damn Good! I Quit almost 17 Years ago, and I Want One Right Now! I often Wondered why they Taste so Good,if it was because of the Tobacco Itself, or the way Cigarettes are made. Now, I Know Why. It's Both! When most Tobacco is Grown,it's loaded with Fertilizer, and Chemicals to make it as Potent as Possible.Then, when Cigarettes are Made-Up at the Factory, They're loaded up with even more Chemicals. That's why when You Light up a Cigarette, and put it in an Ashtray, it will Burn to the End all by Itself!Chemicals! That's what You're Addicted to, not Tobacco!Even Now,after almost 17 Years, if I'm next to Someone with a Good, Strong Winston, or Marlboro lit up, I'll Catch Myself taking a "Whiff"! To This Day, I tell Everyone that I fully Intend to Resume Smoking when it becomes Apparent that WW III has begun, and the World is coming to an End! So, if all of that doesn't Work for You, Here's an Idea. Go to Your Local Phone Book, and find a Tobacco-Smoke Shop.Ask about Organically Grown, Addative Free Tobacco, and a Do It Yourself Cigarette Rolling Kit that makes Normal Looking Cigarettes. It's all available, but it'll be about $5.00 per Pack, and a lot of Hassle. But, by cutting down on the Tar, Nicotine, and Chemicals, it'll be a whole lot Easier to Quit! And Remember, Cigarettes Taste Good! And You Want One Right Now!Me Too!

Short answer?\n1. Stay off nicotine - there are plenty of methods to stop the addiction, but pick one.\n2. Fill your system with good stuff: clear air and healthy food. Do this by taking deep breaths and exhaling completely, and eating only healthy foods (including snacks) for at least a week.\n3. Get plenty of vitamin C, which is supposed to specifically help you rid yourself of nicotine. Take some vitamin C tablets and/or foods with vitamin C. As with any vitamin, don't overdose.

Gradually decrease your cigarette intake and make a time table which is attainable. Do not do it abruptly, this can cause more harm than good for others. Good luck you are making a good decision already by choosing to quit. Good Luck!! :-)

I gave up 2 months ago and it took nothing except my own will power.  It was hard but not as hard as I thought it would be.  I have managed to go for 2 months without a smoke at all, my boyfriend smokes as do most of my friends but this has not tempted me at all, I have even been to the pub and not smoked at all.  Set yourself a date to give up and mentally prepare yourself.  get rid of any cigarettes, lighters, tobacco, ashtrays or rolling papers you may have in your house.  If you really do not think you can give up on your own, try smoking replacement gum or patches and go to help groups, there is a lot of help out there, if you need it, then go find it and take advantage of it.  Good luck, giving up is the best thing I have done for a long time.

THIS METHOD WORKS FOR ME. (QUIT SMOKING 2 YEARS AGO)\n\nThe Allen Carr Method\nHOW THE METHOD WORKS\n\nUsing 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.\n\nIt is fear that keeps smokers hooked!\n\nFear 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.\n\nThe Method removes these fears \nSmokers 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….\n\nTO BE FREE!\n\nWhat about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?\n\nThe 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.\n\nThe Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation. \nIt 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.\n\nNo Gimmicks!\n\nThe 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! \n\nThe Allen Carr Method is successful because:\n\nIt removes the smokers’ conflict of will. \nThere are no bad withdrawal pangs. \nIt is instantaneous and easy. \nIt is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers. \nYou need not gain weight. \nYou will not miss smoking. \n\nMedical Endorsements\nA personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health\n\n“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.” \n\nCarole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees \n\n“his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”\n\nDr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital\n\n“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.”\n\nDr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong\n\n“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.”\n\nDr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research \nFund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London\n\n”...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.”\n\nDr PM Bray MB CH.b., MRCGP\n\n“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.” \n\nCelebrity Endorsements\n\n"His method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, wh

Gotta tell you nicorette gum was the best; and the flavor wasn't bad either.  Start chewing the amount you need to cover your nicotine intake (the gum comes with a chart).  Decrease; by one stick each week until your done.  It was the most painless way I ever quit smoking and I had quit cold turkey on several occasions.

Have you tried one of the online smoking cessation forums? Unfortunately, I have not been brave enough or smart enough, for that matter, to lay the cigs down but I know from others that these work. Not only do the sites give you information but there are chat rooms/bulletin board type forums where you can share the experience with others, who are in the same shoes. Good luck and WOW, only 1 yesterday and none today. Good for you!

What I have been trying to do (which so far is helping a great deal) is when I have a craving for a cigarette, I have a glass of water or a piece of fruit.  Then I walk around my house and look for things to do.  Breaking the habit of putting something in my mouth has been the most difficult, but I honestly think that the water is helping.  I haven't quit yet, but I've gone from a pack a day to between 4 and 7 cigarettes a day in about two weeks.  Good luck to you : ) (and to me, too).

The most important is to really want to give up. If you are strongly motivated, you have a high chance to succeed. Remove any habit that is strongly associated with smoking (coffee, alcohol) and, if you want, use either the patch or prescription medication that helps with nicotine addiction. Once there, reward yourself for every cigarette-free day, week, month, year... Celebrate success and share with your friends and family. You can do it!

first, do NOT reduce the amount of cigarettes you smoke gradually.  that's just stupid.  the people at http://www.smokeawaysupport.com/index.php? helped me a lot, and will help you too.  half of them don't even use the product the site is for.  you need to stop full force, all at once.  www.lungusa.com also has good resources, and even a lesson/regimen on quitting smoking.\n\nthings that helped me were drinking lots of cranberry juice, to combat the sudden eratic changes in my body's sugar levels.  halving my intake of coffee, as caffeine has a stronger affect on those bodies that are recouperating from loss of nicotine.  mental imagery helped me a little.  i started doing some simple excercises instead of smoking.  a craving lasts less than 30 seconds, the mind just draws it out longer, and can be quenched with a glass of water as easy as a cigarette.

There are a lot of products available, but there weren't when I quit.  So, I used the "cold turkey" method.  The longer you've smoked, the harder that one is, but it can be done.  However, nicotine addiction is the first and most important task to accomplish.  Long-term smokers have a tougher time without help.  Here's some info on kicking the addiction from the American Lung Association.

Yes I totally agree with the last poster, I too believe that the only real way to give up smoking is just to drop it cold turkey, I took my last pack of cigarettes and threw them in the trash 1 week and two days ago and yes it is very hard at first, but it keeps getting easier every day and as long as you have someone to support you, you'll be fine. DROP THEM COLD TURKEY!
