I am trying to quit smoking, any advice? - Help.com

well done for 1 :)

what have you done&taken so far?

From a physiological and psychological standpoint, it becomes much easier to go through the process of quitting each time you attempt to. My best advice would be to not get discourage if you ‘break’. Let’s say you are determined to never ever smoke again, and 2-weeks later you break down and have 1. Certainly don’t give up and go out to buy a pack… accept that nobody’s perfect and continue your attempt to quit.

And, even if you do not quit, and go back to smoking… know that the next time you attempt to quit, it will be easier, and your odds of succeeding will be greater!

Be tough with yourself, keep busy, avoid situation where you used to smoke, find what triggers your smoking and replace it, I started playing tetris on my phone in situation and at times where I would have once smoked now I a pro, lol! I stopped just over three month ago, no nrt I’d tried that before it was will power that got me through if you need nrt(nicotene replacement therapy) I’d say the inhalator is the best, but everyones different! Good luck, you can do it, its just a matter of believing you can.

Also develop the “I am a non~smoker,” mentality.
‘want a cigarette’asks one dude
‘no i’m quitting’ ERROR
say ‘No I dont smoke!’ hehe its better.

Plus if you do slip up DONT BUY A PACK borrow one from a someone who smokes. And still after keep believing your a non smoker, who had a cigarette, Not a smoker whos not going to have a cigarette tomorrow/if you get my drift!

Yeah, it’s ******* hard :S
I’m on my 3rd week now, well 3 weeks and 1 day to be exact, it gets better after a while but every now and then the craving grips you and each time it does it feels stronger than the last..
What I find helps me at the moment is that nicoret gum, although the minty taste just doesn’t replace the nicotine, still, it helps.
Keep busy, avoid doing the things you would normaly do when smoking and expect to drink/eat and doodle ALOT lol

Get something healthy to snack on; the addiction to smoking is also in part an urge to do something with your hands and mouth in those times you would have been smoking.
