there is not much you can do. Me and my husband quit. about a month ago. I have to say that i just did because he did. i didn't really want to. But as of right now am still smoke free and feel better. oh, i want one every so often but not like i thought i would. i have children too and it sure did make them happy. It feels good to be free of "oh, did i get my cigs" or "do i have a light".  Show your dad this question and answer. I will be praying that you do this for your child. Just give it a try. We used the patches and gum. only had to buy 2 weeks worth and then the patch became just plain annoying and the gum just tasted plain gross. Just try it. My husband smoked 1 1/2 pks a day and i smoked 1 pk a day and didn't even want to stop. once the nicotine gets out of your system, You will feel better. Trust me. just try it.....

Yes young Miss - you're right not to try and give up cold turkey - try the 'patch' or gum as a replacement. \n\nAlso analyse where and when you do have a cigarette - at home???/at work???/ At lunch???/In pub???. Try and avoid (as much as possible) those places where you find you derive most pleasure from cigarette - this may be for instance immediately following a meal - with a cup of tea or coffee. So for a while change habit - instead of tea and/or coffee - have soft drink.\n\nAvoid places where smoking prevalent. Warn friends and family - that you are giving up and that they, if they are smokers, should NOT offer you one or light up around you (if this can be avoided). \n\nWill also need to tell friends/family - you may be angry and irritable for a while because of giving up - tell them not your usual attitude merely that it is symptom of nicotine withdrawal.\n\nFind friend/relative who is either a non-smoker or preferably one who has themselves given up to be your councillor and supporter - they will need to be contactable by you fairly constantly for the first 3 months after you've given up. If nobody else available - willing to help myself if you give me a call.

The following will work for you. You don't even need good luck.\nLocal hospitals offer week-long programs to make you quit smoking. Then you'll need this trick to not go back to it: Don't have that one cigarette for the rest of your life!\nPeople buckle under the intense urge for a cigarette and think that their problem will go away with one cigarette. But that just makes the problem go away temporarily, only to come back with a higher intensity.\nQuitting smoking feels like a loss of a loved one because to the brain it is just that - a loved one. So be prepared for the longing and the pain. Just endure it. It won't kill you. Actually, it will make you live longer.\nAdapt a new lifestyle i.e. eat fruits, go jogging, etc. Do whatever, but once you have gone through the week-long quit-smoking program, DON'T HAVE THAT ONE CIGARETTE NO MATTER WHAT. If you have that one cigarette, you fail and if you don't then you succeed. It is that simple. You do need that week-long program to launch yourself into the wonderful world of non-smoking though. \nOne more thing: you may need to keep the company of non-smokers for a while i.e. at least one year.

Man, if I knew that answer, I would of quit a long time ago! LOL. Try the patch and the gum. Also talk to your doc. He can prescribe Wellbutrin to help you also.\n\nBut ultimately you can try all these I listed, but until you have the mind set and the will power to really want to quit....nothing is going to be successful. You have got to REALLY want to quit first!\n\nGood Luck! :)

Cold turkey.\n\nPlease visit http://www.whyquit.com and read about nicotine replacement therapy (gum, patch, etc.) to see why it doesn't work well.\n\nRead a few sections of "Why do people smoke?" and "How to quit smoking."  The site even tells you what to expect (accurately) during the surprisingly short physical withdrawal period and how to minimize the symptoms.\n\nVisit http://www.whyquit.com\n\nIt is really quite eye opening.

1. decide you want to quit\n2. get patches, they work 8-10 week program\n3. alter behaviour and watch for triggers, (things which make you really want a cigarette)\n4. take it a day sometimes an hour at a time\n5 set up reward system\n6. Do some research on what transpires in a body even in the first 12 hours of stopping the smokes.  \nFinally:  The body and systems are very forgiving and rejuvenate themselves towards healing.  It is amazing to smell, taste, and not stink,,,,\n\none who knows,,,

Make sure you surround yourself with support from before your quit date arrives.  I found online forums most useful as we were all experiencing the same thing.  I'm proud to say I'm now over 3 months quit.\n\nGood luck with it and below I've provided a link to one of the great sites I found most helpful.

Do you mean quit smoking?  If so, you can quit cold turkey by just stopping smoking.  Or you can try nicotine gum or the patch for your cravings.  Good luck and stay strong!

Cold turkey. I did and yesterday was my 3 year anniversary with no smoking. My sister has tried with the patches and gum, but since it keeps giving you nicotine, she can't quit that way. It really isn't that hard to stop on your own, the cravings will stop after four or five days. Have confidence in yourself!

giving up smoking is HARD.  I have done it several times, this last time for several years.  I am still smoke free, but it's kind of like being a alcoholic.  You need to just quit cold turkey.  No patches, no gum, no tapering off.  It's nonsense.  Just don't light a cigarette.  You will need something to replace it with.  People will tell you exercise, walking, etc.  People are crazy.  You aren't ready for that.  I recommend baby carrots.  No, i'm not kidding.  Eat a baby carrot everytime you want a cigarette.  They take about the same amount of time to eat and they will give you something to do.  Baby carrots cost about 1.50 for a plastic bag of them.  It's cheaper than cigarettes and no one ever got fat eating carrots.  And they are even healthy.  I quit for my son too.  I want to hold my grandchildren someday.  You CAN do it.  Congrats on your decision.

First thing is encourage him and give some self confidence to quit the smoking. After that tell him what are the problem when smoking and advantages of quitting smoking. then say the way. Some easy way is ask him to use whenever willing to smoke means chewwing gum, and tablet is available it gives the effect of smoking. ask him to take medidation. when mind is ask to smoke take small pencil and imagine that it is cigarrete and smoke it. definitely he will stop the smoking habit. ok all the best try these tips now itself my dear friend.

you started on your own no one to help you pick up that first one and Now the only way to stop is to STOP... I quit 9 weeks ago and feel great I tried the commit lozenges, the patch and all of it was an excuse to need one more cig. Finally one night in my EMT class this girl looked at us when we came in from break and said why do you do that yourself and your children... I quit I am not saying quit for someone else that won't work, but find something in your life that would be better or happier if you would quit and QUIT the first 3 days are rough, but trust me you make it through those 3 and your are GREAT....

I smoked for 11 years at it wasn't easy to quit.  What I found worked best was to make a list of all the time throughout the day when you usually have a smoke.  Take a good look at the list and decide which one you don't 'need'.  Cut that one out and do it for a week.  Then take another look at the list and cut another one.  Keep going as long as you have to to get down to none.  By the time you get to one, you usually have enough confidence in yourself to look at it and think "I don't need this - it's not worth it."  It took me 11 weeks to quit that way because my average intake was 11 cigarettes (just over half a pack) a day.  By doing it this way, I didn't feel deprived because I knew my next smoke was just a few hours away.  I hadn't quit cold turkey and I made the decision as to which one to cut out and when.  It gave me a great feeling of empowerment.  I know it sounds like it would take forever this way, but slow and steady really does win the race.\n\nBest of luck!
