My mom has been smoking for thirty-seven years, and she is finally ready to quit. I was wondering if you have any tips for long-time smokers that seriously want to quit — without the use of medication.. (patches okay)

Thanks in advance! =]

He seems to want to quit and tried all kinds of gum,patches,vitamins. If you smoked what helped you stop.

The obvious answer would be to quit drinking. I’m young and I’m Irish, so fat chance of that happening. Can any of you give some good advice on this? I know of a lot of people like myself who only smoke when they’re out drinking, and have no desire whatsoever to light one up at any other time. Patches and nicorette gum, etc., therefore, I think really wouldn’t apply to people like us, because we don’t desire a cigarette any other time except when we are out on night on the town. So how can people like us resist the urge to smoke once we get a few drinks in us?

I smoke about a pack a day or a little less depending on what I do that day. Some days I may only smoke 2-5 cigs. I’m just wondering what is best: patches, pill, lozenge, etc.

I have the willpower but would like some help with it.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve tried the patches, cold turkey etc. but nothing has worked for me. I get mean when I don’t smoke and it’s all I think about until I get my next drag. I want to quit; I just don’t want to feel like putting my hand through a window when I don’t get my fix. What is a good way to quit smoking?

I smoke a pack to a pack and a half every day.
I badly want to quit.
I have quit a bunch of times.
If you have quit smoking and know some secret to quitting, please share.
I am willing to try anything, but i do live in a remote area and there are no smoking cesation classes around here, so that is the only option i can’t try.
I am buying the patches tonight.

Ive been smoking for nearly a year now (im 18) . I enjoy smoking, but it just costs way to much since i go uni and dont work. What are some things that can distract me from ciggarettes? Im going to try patches and the gums, but i highly doubt that it will work.

I am trying to find out what the best method for quiting smoking is, other than cold turkeyo rhypnosis. Whether it be patches, pills or whatever. I am looking for a solution for a person that will probably be very hard for them to quit so need a good method.

I don’t want to blow a bunch of cash on patches or pills. What worked for you when you went cold turkey?
