What are your best tips to quit smoking? ?

Im not really an adult but im a young kid who is the nephew of a smoker. He quit smoking. You need to set your goal of who you want to be. Spend time with family and go outdoors. Ask your family for help because nicotine addiction isnt something u can reverse by yourself. DO NOT GO TO THERAPY. ONLY IF YOU FOUND LIKE A GOOD THERAPIST DO NOT GO TO THERAPY.  just please, look at your kids and wife and family. Think about them. And you cant quit nicotine immediately. Just take it in increments and if you can, spend some time with work or family okie :D trust me you can do this :D i believe in you

Good for you! I know what works. My ex did this, and I saw it work. 

He said he felt like if he had to smoke, he could, but he was going to put it off as long as he could stand it! He didn't smoke a single one! 

At the designated quit day, he took the pack off and threw it away. Then he went around and threw out all the ash trays around the house, and in his office or car. 

That was 1991 and he hasn't smoked since. He smoked for over 30 years, as a teenager and in the Navy.

I quit smoking 6 years ago. I had a very hard time until i discovered "nicorettespray".Sorry, i am french, but i think you have the same in your country. 

1.) air out your clothes, your car and your house. Don't let the smell linger because it will trigger your cravings.

2.) Distract yourself and keep your hands busy with other things. Change your routine so you aren't using familiar times to trigger the urges--i.e., on the phone, in the car, after meals, when drinking alcohol. 3.) Drink a LOT of orange juice. I'm serious. The extra Vitamin C helps quell the urges. 4.) don't be AROUND other smokers. Not until you're past the last cigarette by at least 6 months. Smoking is a social problem as well as a health risk. Other smokers make you want to smoke.5.) Remember something: This is an addiction. That means that the ADDICTION is in control. It has changed your brain. It will continue to make itself known and it will make you want to feed it. That's what addictions do. YOU are not in control--it is. Keep that in mind--because when you catch yourself justifying having "just one more" you will know why. You CAN beat it--but you'll have to acknowledge that you are not a master of it--and at any time it can master you. If you seriously want to quit, you won't let it. ALL Justifications are the addiction talking. 6.) Cutting down ultimately does not work--because you are still ingesting nicotine. That means it's still working on those receptors in your brain. It will be okay for a while, then the ignored receptors will want to be stimulated--and you'll go right back to your old habits. This is hard. It can be done, but it means one more thing: YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ANOTHER CIGARETTE AGAIN. Not once. Not even if you hate it. Just never. Period. You can't say you're no longer addicted--once addicted, you're addicted for life. So you have to realize that even ONE will cause it to start back up. 

Good luck. 

Laura, this really belongs in the Health section, not here. And if you're really serious about quitting smoking, you need to ask your doctor to recommend a smoking cessation program to you. Quitting smoking is like breaking any other addiction- and it takes far more than just simple will power alone to make it happen. You're probably going to need medication to control your withdrawal symptoms and cravings for nicotine, and you definitely will need some counseling and support from other people who are going through the same thing you are.

You can quit successfully, but going cold turkey is not necessarily the best approach.That's why it's really important that you talk to your doctor about this, and get some professional help. There are many, many different types of smoking cessation products and programs available to help people leave cigarettes behind forever. Take advantage of them.

idk, but good luck and much success.

Ecig manufacturers will tell the consumer that ecigs are not intended for smoking cessation; they are simply a tobacco-free alternative to smoking. But I used ecigs to decrease smoking cigarettes, and it worked.  I researched the options available to me online (there aren't many), and I chose two companies, getting a starter kit from each one.  I eventually settled on the one I liked best, and I ordered them, choosing a high level of nicotine, so that I wouldn't go through 'withdrawal' all at once.  After about 3 months, I ordered a moderate level of nicotine, then the lowest level, and a few months later, went to 'flavors' without nicotine.  In about a year, I gave it up altogether. 

I found that as I decreased the nicotine level, I got used to it, and needed to smoke less. Through all of it, I never craved a tobacco cigarette.  I realized early on that I didn't miss smoking traditional cigarettes, because I was getting my nicotine 'fix' in the ecigs.  I never could stand the smell of cigarette smoke, anyway, so the fact that ecigs do not have that odor made it all that much easier not to want them. 

i don't know about quitting smoking, but i make a rad sandwich

My mom quits pretty easily. But habit and boredom start her up again. Her routine of having a cigarette at certain times throughout the day always got her smoking again, more than the craving for a cigarette. 

You need to completely change your morning routine.  You probably don’t realize how much of your day is planned around having a smoke. Change up your routine.   

. 

Don’t keep your cigarettes in easy reach. Keep them in the garage or the truck of your car.

Have an action. you will do when the craving is the strongest. Go for a walk. Have a cup of tea. Drink a full glass of water,  Clean the bathroom. Heck, do 20 jumping jacks. 

Anything to move you on. 

Once it is time to quit make sure you smoke your last one. I quit after 9 years of a pack a day. The gun helped me and there is also an app that will track how much you have saved by not smoking. It has been over 2 years now since I've had any and I'll tell ya what, there are days when I want to revert back but I dont have any so I can't. Stay positive and push through. The first couple days are the hardest. You got this.
