How to quit smoking???

I'm plagiarizing my response to another "smoking" discussion I made quite a long time ago. I hope it helps you too. "Try to taper down slowly (ie smoke less per day until you finally achieve complete remission)to avoid withdrawal symptoms such as nausea and stress. If you have tried that but still can't seem to stop smoking, you can try some alternative withdrawing therapies available such as nicotine replacement patches, nicotine chewing gums and a medication called bupropion. These alternative therapies can be obtained at the pharmacy. Good luck in your quest to stop smoking, and I certainly hope you do since smoking is indeed bad for health (eg. can lead to cancers and many cardiovascular and respiratory diseases)!
