How can you stop from smoking?

Hi. Quitting smoke is the single most difficult thing to do for most, most especially if you're 'in it' for the longest time. It's difficult but not totally impossible. It really depends on the person and how he/she views his life and smoking. One suggestion in quitting smoke is that he should 'take it slow', one stick at a time. Well, my doctor dad would always tell his patients that it's not a matter of quitting, but it's a matter of how long you could stay not smoking. Tell him to quit slowly. At least one half stick per month. Like sample, if he's accustomed to smoking like 10 sticks a day.. he should try just smoking 9 and 1/2 sticks in 2 months or so.. then slowly cutting out half stick at a time. It's a painful experience, but sooner or later he'd see the full benefits of quitting.

hi there. yes i believe that for some people quitting to smoke is a very hard thing to do. well, you can convince him at that. set limits to him like telling him you wont hang out with him anymore if he still smokes..you know, things like that:)

i too have difficulty in quitting smoking. there are lots of people already told me to stop and even gave some advises on how to do it. some say, do it at once, immediately after deciding to quit. some say do it slowly. some said, to quit is to get rid of everything, with regards to smoking. you can throw or hide things related to smoking like ash tray and lighters. never try to start trying again, even one single pop, once you started quitting. but then, i can't start. it is one of the most difficult task that i wish i can do.

try to get him into rehab.

i so wish i could help you but i cant. im a smoker aswell and want to quit. please help. i cannot take this habit anymore becuase its affecting my life . i cannot focus.

smoker's motivation, i think thats a first. it wont be easy but if he's just as motivated as hell, it will not be impossible :)
