How to stop smoking

No one can save you or guide you unless you are dogged determined to quit it . You must realize how it is affecting your lungs and it may lead to cancer even . I am now seeing my uncle still suffering from stage IV lung cancer . He never listened to us and used to tell often "do all smokers suffer from cancer ? Come on don't give me any advice , it's my life and let me lead it in my own way " Sad to say he is leading it now in his own way counting days , suffering and bearing pain and tolerating side effects of chemo and radiation . I think it is high time you stop it and save your self .

hello dansazz... i was a chain smoker.. i started smoke in 17... i also try to quit smoke many time but i was failed... then a person told me this is not a habit this is a diseases.... than a doc me some anti-smoking medicines and gum... who help to reduce nicotine.... after 6 months i completely leave smoking.. i am very happy to leave it... best of luck...

I was a 60 a day man and stopped - cold turkey! How? Well I got a filthy cold - runny nose; cough; aches; the lot. Smokes didn't taste the same and I didn't actually feel like having a smoke. So I stopped. At first it was easy then after a few hours I had to stop myself pulling out a ciggy by reflex action. I put the packet and lighter in a draw with the carton which had over 100 left in it. For a few days it was tough but I held out and about 6 months later I gave the carton in my drawer to my son. It was knowing they were there in my drawer that strangely helped as I knew if I found I couldn't live without a smoke I could easily get one. Wierd! It is many years later now and my wife and daughter still smoke ( and cough and smell) but my son has given up. Where is all the money I saved? No idea! haha Still living on the edge. Health? Well I have never had so many colds since I gave up! I was much healthier in that respect when I smoked. Maybe the nicotine poisoned the bugs? But I do have much better breathing; I don't cough all the time; I don't smell. I still like to cuddle up to my wife when she is smoking and get a bit second hand! haha

You'd probably hear a lot of tips on how to kick this habit, and they all may be effective. I for one would rather do it the cold turkey way. I mean, just quit, no ifs no buts. I found that effective. There were however some sort of withdrawal symptoms but I just had to strengthen my will more to overcome them. Well, it also helped that I was motivated by fear. I was found to have emphysema and it scared me real good.
