get some nicotine lozenges so you can control your nicotine intake |

patches are bollocks...its the hit you crave the warm shot of tar and the thousand killer chemicals. the craving is usually over in 30secs -1min. breath deep and think of good music. if you feel you need it bad ...get on your hands and nees (or toes) and do as many push ups as you can ...you wont wanna smoke after that i can tell you...at home ly down dont sit up in your chair your hands willl wander ..looking for cigys. dont say to yourself ...."just one more packet" and dont take a single cigy from a mate take the pain for 2 -3 days !! be a man or woman! fuk the multi national Fk heads ! and win your life back! WHACK ON APHEX TWIN AND SCREAM YOUR F'IN HEAD OFF !!!! ....its fun! you enjoy this transition soon it'll be over and youll be free.....but not if you have just one drag of a cigy. go swimming cycling ...drink loads tea. blah blah blah as soon as you need one ....switch your mind to something else ...your training your thoughts like a muscle. .....i said muscle .......NOT penis. tweet x |

You can only give up smoking if you dislike the taste - otherwise you'll never give it up. You like it, so accept you like it. Would you never eat chocolates again if you tried to force yourself? You have to ween yourself off over a 1 year period. You cut down from 20 a day to 10 a day to five a day. After 11 months just have one or two a day. Eventually you will forget to take one a certain day, then two days. Then one day you will smoke one and think "this takes like shit". After that, you can still smoke 1 or 2 every month on a social - but banning yourself is a bad idea, never say never and then one day you won't want them. |

day three: Bloody Hell, this is hard, I may take you advice Exaph and ditch the patches. I may as well do the 7 days. |
||||||||

I quit cold turkey and that way works. Slowly weening is just impossible for me. It really isn't that hard. good luck |

Go live w/ your parents or somewhere to get away from temptation for 2 weeks. |

Mate, I managed to quit five months ago with help from nicotine gum. I've tried numerous times, with or without nicotine patches, but this time I cracked it. The gum was a lot better for me because using it also simulates the hand-to-mouth structure of smoking. You can also control when you receive your nicotine hits. It was after drinking alcohol that I failed the last times. This time, when drunk, I began by eating chillies every time I experienced a seemingly overwhelming craving. Burning your mouth off is a powerful alternative! Nicotine gum was also indispensable at these moments. I haven't smoked since. Remember, if you do feel that you must smoke, just ask yourself, 'how much better would I actually feel afterwards?', or even convince yourself that you just did smoke. Good luck. |

im on day 5 or someihtng.??? i lost count cause im not counting ...im not thinking bout it, as soon as i do ....i switch to music ( listening and dancing around like a mad man and playing my drums like animal from the muppets.) when i gave in to the tar/nicotine last ....i felt so shit i cant tell you ....errg ,physically and mentally. the craving doesnt last that long ....it only does when you think to yourself...i need one ...i need one!! your body is just cleaning itself out.....and your senses are starting to live again..your lungs are feeling the fresh air, much more clearly without the filthy unatural cancer tar blocking your airways.. have cups of cocoa!! or some wonderful food , try light exercise...push ups do the trick. since i gave up last ....ive been doing jobs and tasks i should have done years ago!! hahah its awesome. just think of the good sides ....and the good feelings ahead ..once you kick the habit you'll be clean once again...but just one ciggy can mess that up for you. |
