    I'm trying to quit smoking...

    I've been smoking for almost four years now, and now my main smoking friend is quitting. It will make it harder for him to quit if I continue smoking and I should really quit for health reasons anyway. This is day two and I feel like I want to tear my hair out. It's going to be really hard on campus today because everywhere I turn there is a group of people smoking.

    I don't know if I should go cold turkey or take it slow....because right now I don't think I can make it.

    I don't know if there are any smokers or people that used to smoke (even if your parents used to smoke) that have any advice on how to quit...if anyone does I would really appreciate it.

      any type of gum can sometimes relieve some stress. it's better to just quit all at once don't try to do it gradually.


      here's something i heard someone do:

      Everytime he felt like buying a pack of cigarettes, he'd put the amount (5 bucks at the time) in a piggy bank. after a while he had finally been able to quit smoking (since he didn't have money to buy them he put it in his bank) he opened it and had a few hundred dollars.

          I smoke, cold turkey is the most painful but best way. That and don't hang around people that smoke. Get rid of all of your lighters, get rid of anything that you can light a cigarette with. Candy, gum DO help. The patch is bull**** that doesn't work for everyone. I quit smoking for 3 years, the key is keeping yourself busy with something. I hardly smoke now, like, only when I'm drinking. But I can't even tolerate it when I'm not drinking so it's a good thing and I tend to stay away from it.

              Kommisar, my Dads girlfriend did the same thing.

              She basically stopped smoking and then got a cellphone and a plan.

                  i smoke and have done for about 4 years aswell....

                  Quitting cold turkey is TOO hard... i would recommend cutting down to maybe 3 a day... then slowly go to just 2... then 1 then stop.

                      Find a hobby, as long as your occupied with something you shouldn't feel the need as bad. Also you could try gum or patches but that depends on your willpower.

                          Shave your head.

                          Then, if you smoke, you'll realize, "Man, I just shaved my head for nothing!"

                          Worked for my friend.

                              I have some really good advice for you.


                              Sunflower seeds. Those things are addictive. They helped my dad quit smoking and he smoked for at least 30 years. He went cold turkey...but yeah. The sunflower seeds REALLY help. So buy in bulk. They're cheap!

                                  Just smoke marijuana joints instead of ciggarettes and after a while you will forget it's not a ciggarette and you won't be addicted... and you'll be high. Win-Win.

                                          Just stopping altogether at once.

                                          No more cigarettes ever.

                                          My Dad smoked for 30 years and finally quit when he was 50 - he was in danger of lung cancer, and now has chronic bronchitis because of it.

                                          Chew some gum, knit a sweater, play FFR - just throw the cigarettes away. They're not worth it.

                                              if its about having something in your mouth, chew on straws or even pen caps. thats what i do, not that i was ever addicted to smoking.

                                              and whoever said stop hanging out with your friends that smoke... or smoke a lot really, is right.

                                              its much easier to quit if you're not around it.

                                                  My dad smoked for about 30 years and he ended up quitting cold turkey. The thing that helped him most was gum, not necessarily nicotine gum but just regular chewing gum.

                                                  A lot of the people I work with quit smoking a few months ago because the nursing home became smoke free. I don't think I've ever seen people try so many different things to break the addiction. The one that seemed to work the best though was twizzlers or licorice of some kind. Because for most of the people all it took was the simple act of putting something up to their mouth to break the habit.
