Your friend has to be ready to quit. I used the patch. It worked the second time around. The first time, I still wasn't ready!!

You are so right Sidders in that the only person who can dedide to stop smoking is the smoker himself. If he isn't ready to give it up, then nothing anyone else says will make him a successful non-smoker.

It depends on your will power. If you are strong enough it is very easy to quit smoking. Unless you are not decided to hang the habit, it is very much difficult to quit. Just to think over yourself the advantages of smoking first. Then realise to some extent. ok. Later on think over the expenses incurred in the habit. Again realise. Finally think your health strengths with smoking. Realise. Lastly make comparable chart with each other and get resolved.

One of my proffessor in college said that he was able to quit in a day because of a bet he made with friends.Initially it was difficult,but later it was okay.For some it may work I think.

It is not easy to quit smoking but sure it is possible. I also not sure this few method work or not, I just heard from a friend of my boy friend. He smoke for around 6 years but he have quit it recently. These are thetips that he told me. 1) get ready some sweet in your pocket, eat it when you few like want to smoke. There are some antismoke sweet is better. 2) Always do exercise 3) Find something to do and don't let yourself too free. This will let you forgot to smoke.

Your friend must have the will to leave it. If you can bring the will in him to leave rest is not difficult.

The main way to quit smoking, is YOU have to want to do it. You can't quit because others want you too. When you decide the time is right, then you will be able to quit with a strong will power.

stop hanging out with ur frnds who smoke... make a headstrong determination tht ull stop smoking... try and chew the gum whole day, i hv heard it helps, no personal experience so not sure how much... it will take time for deaddiction... ull find constant urges to go and hv one puff but restrain frm it... once quitted never evn think of touching it... if nothing helps u thn thr are nicotine patches available which can help u in cutting down slowly... also medication named buspirone is available for smoking cessation...
