What is the most successful way to quit smoking?

[dwreborn]

I mean those nasty cigarettes I don't know if I could ever quit smoking green have you had luck with the patch, gum or just man up and do it cold turkey?

One of my family quit smoking cigs after mom died of cancer, he went to a Views... it is a bit better than the real deal, although it still has nicotine, but his doctor reports are much better than before and have improved a lot since this... maybe get a Patch if you also want to go with a doctor's suggestion. Good Luck, hard habit to kick. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ya I almost got hypnotized once but was told you really gotta have faith in it and believe it's gonna work in order for it to work I was skeptical about it and it was 500 bucks to do it

Thank you, dear. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It is easy to quit if you really want to. I quit all smoke years ago, and it couldn't have been easier. Don't make excuses; just do it.

[dwreborn]

Yes I am gonna do it I need to for myself it's gross habit

I was a smoker and had to go in the hospital for 3 weeks. They put the nicotine patches on me and I did stop smoking 🚬

[dwreborn]

Why the hospital did you have something bad happen from stopping

[sage2021]

@dwreborn
No, I had an illness and they don't allow smoking in hospitals.

I see I thought you had to go because you were quitting man I tried Chantix once the weirdest dreams from that shit other people got suicidal on it scary

This is terrible but my friends and I commonly laugh about it and you asked... a heroine addiction is how I quit smoking. When you quit something like that quiting smoking cigarettes is a piece of cake...

Other things that helped me are to change how your mind thinks about it. Like if you don't like spicy food put spice on the cigarette butt so when you do smoke your brain says this sucks. Then when you don't smoke a cigarette do something you enjoy as a reward. Your brain wants drugs because you do something that makes you feel different then normal, so much you need it to feel normal... you have to change the way your mind enjoys a drug to quit it... there's only one thing in the whole world i have found i like as much as heroine... it's running, when i run so far and so long I feel dead like I can't take another breath or another step. That end accomplishment and flood of dopamine and other chemicals in my brain is the only thing that's close to as good as that high for dope... so quitting anything is about doing what you don't want for the right reasons. Those feelings feel wrong at first just like the hot sauce on the cigarette but when you learn to do what you don't want to do on the other side is the reward you give yourself... that's how I quit heroine and cigarettes. I still smoke pot also just like you said. So I really hope this helps. Good luck. You can Do it!

Ya I've also defeated that I could stay away from the people that I was doing that shit with luckily I was only on it for couple of years but cigarettes you see everyday at stores on TV other people I know I can do it hearing other people's stories help give motivation to

[Opinion Owner]

In that case. I was so dope sick that no matter how bad I wanted a cigarette it made me worse. You know what withdraw is like... and how long it last... when I finally felt better enough to try and smoke a cigarette it had already been so long I was past the worst part of the nicotine withdraw. I didn't think about it till I thought about it and I was like if I'm ever gonna quit smoking cigs this headstart would be the time. I put both things in the same bad category that day they are part of my past now some things are meant to stay in the past even if they are still at the store...

[dwreborn]

Yup I wish I just kept going too I did same thing but started back up

[Abbycado]

Never smoked a thing in my life. Did have an older cousin who quit. He took some prescription pill from the doc. No clue what it is called, but it worked.

[dwreborn]

Was it Chantix if so I've tried it before someone gave me some they did start to work but I didn't have enough and with some people it made them depressed and suicidal it didn't with me but give me strange dreams

[dwreborn]

Your lucky to not be a smoker dont ever start

[Abbycado]

I honestly don't know what it was. All I know is that it was prescribed and a pill. If whatever it is you tried did all that, obviously try another route.

[dwreborn]

Ya it's tough it does seem like smoking is looked upon a lot worst then when I grew up in 90's-2000's but vaping has shown up

[Abbycado]

I do see quite a few people on campus walking around with those things. At least they are less annoying than cigarettes because I don't have to smell them.

[Hardon-Collider]

The most successful way is to act with strict, decisive will. You must commit to a clean break and persevere in that decision. It requires the inner strength to follow through.

[Xawyx-2]

I never smoked, and I think that's the best way - never to start smoking.

[dwreborn]

I agree if I could only go back

[DryGermanGuy]

I went cold turkey, but I never was a heavy smoker. I know people who took the gum.
