Default Quitting smoking............... help

I really wanna quit smoking and wanna know the best way.

I am far too weak to just throw a pack away and say thats it. Before 5pm I would be rooting through the bins again. Are thepatches or gum any good? Whats the crack with this hypnotherapy bollocks??

Its killing me

Cold hard turkley is how I gave up.. but then I am smoking again! I find smoking other stuff helps me give up the fags though!

i have had a couple of mates who went to see that Alan Carr hypnotherapy and they have stopped - used to smoke about 20-40 fags a day and burn weed on top.

Both of my mates now dont do anything except drink like a bunch of alcoholics now

im tryin to stop too but gonna have to try cold turkey - i know it can be done its just all in your head

I didn't just spray it, I stole it.

I also picked up a Chanel no 5 from a bloke in a pub, well it's actually called Chunnel no 5, but I'm sure it's the same thing

Good luck to you. I have been fag free for just over 3 months, and i dont miss it one bit. the other half still smokes but he has to go out in the back garden now. the smell of smoke makes me want to heave. i started of using the patches, but then went on holiday and vanity stopped me from wearing a patch in the states, so took them off, but never looked back. the worst time for me was the first few days, i was MANIC my house had never looked so clean!!!!!!

as others have said if I can do it anyone can!

the hardest part is the first day, then you get thru that 24 hours and think " i can do another 24 hours" and so on and so on.
if you can stick out the first 24 hours you can do it!

Good Luck mate, it's not easy, but it's worth it in the long run.

I stopped smoking on the 3rd May this year,I tried everything nothing worked,the last resort was Hypnosis,I was very sceptical espeically when the cost was Ł250 for a 1 hour session BUT guaranteed to work
I paid the Ł250 and it was the best money I have every spent,not touched one since
I have saved well over the initial outlay so money well spent in my book,good luck,if you want the number here it is 0800 0932426

Get a jam jar and put the contents of an ashtray in it including butts. Then fill jar halfway with water and put lid on the jar. Everytime you fancy a cigarette open the jar and take a deep sniff. The smell will put you off that fag

X-Rated 2i,

WRONG WRONG attitude Shell....
Be happy you have stopped, and when you crave, tell yourself you DONT NEED them...... remember the "NEED" bit as its an addiction, and you dont want to be addicted to the shitty things do ya?

Keep it up.. it gets easier EVERY day!!

If you are too weak to stop then you wont....youve beaten yourself right away with that statement.... You can do anything if you really want to.....saying too weak is bollox. Fook patches, hyno etc just fookin stop.

Dont need to be. I have quit other things.....it can be done.

My statement above is straight, no bull shit, sense. The only way youll stop is by making yourself....not relying on aids.

Correct. I have never/nor will ever be a unsocialistic ignorant smoker and roll on the days(which wont be long) till its banned in public.

PMSL at smokers who say they "want" to stop but "cant". Very weak minded

What i mean Cola is it is ignorant and unsociable to smoke a fag at the side of someone who doesnt smoke or wish to have to choke on it and shorten their life because of your bad habit. I know your not unsociable with the open invite etc ....but smoking in public places is imo.

Eyes sting, cough, clothes stink, risk passive lung cancer, and genrally uncomfortable just becuase some one wants a fag in the pub,,,,,all worng. Roll on banning time.....was great in Dublin

Can't you smoke in Dublin pubs then? No one told me! I wasp uffing away like a goodun lol.

And if I know there's a non smoker in my group I don't smoke near them. It's all about etiquette. My housemate Lorna is a smoker but woe betide anyone who lights up whilst she's eating. All goes back to treating people how you'd wanna be treated!
