I smoke about 20 cigarettes a day and I want to stop! I've tried several time but I had no results. How can I stop smoking?

I was able to quit cold turkey - which was very hard even though i only really smoked a few a day. My husband had a really hard time of it, so we made up a plan to help him ween. A one month plan - each day decrease the amount you smoke by 2 smokes a day until you reach 10 a day. Then decrease the amount by one a day beyond that. The last few days, allow one smoke a day when you need it most until you use up what's left of your last pack and then you let it go. It worked for him. He's been smoke free for a month now. Chewing gum and hard candy helps as well when you are craving one while you are quitting. Good luck to you! IT's well worth it not only financially but for your good health!! :O)

what can i say? it's an addiction. if you value your life, your health, and wants to live longer seeing your loved ones, your child if you're a parent, then you must make a decision. some people admit themselves to rehab to help them rid bad habits. your decision could be life changing.
