Two Tips I've Learned To Help You Quit Smoking! Time Tested Techniques.
 

I quit smoking cigs over 3 months ago and these 2 tips can be the difference in whether you stay quit or go back to smoking. It's tough and took a lot but now I can honestly say that I'm 100% smoke free and feeling great! :thumbsup

Tip #1:
That Niccorette gum is pretty much a waste if you ask me unless you decide to use it strategically. They say to use a piece when you get the urge to smoke and I say BAH! Here's what I did and it really does work. I took a piece of Niccorette gum and cut it into 1/4 size pieces. With the gum they recommend that you chew it a few times and then tuck it away between your lip and teeth when you get a craving. That's gay! I took the 1/4 piece and mixed it with regular sugar free gum and chewed away. That took care of two problems at once; my oral fixation with smoking and my craving for nicotine. I didn't have to grab a piece of gum every time craved a cig but instead just chewed away and I didn't even think about it.

Tip #2:
They sell the nicotine patches in 3 steps that offer different amounts of nicotine in milligrams. Each step costs the same so you can save a lot of money if you simply cut your patches in half. I took the step 1 patches and used them for a week. Then I cut them in half and used that for 2 weeks. On my 3rd week I cut it into ¼ size and wore that for 3 weeks. I pretty much weaned myself off of nicotine with 2 boxes of patches instead of 3 different boxes (3 steps). You can?t just use step 1 for 3 weeks and then expect to quit?it?s not going to happen. Your body is still dependant on nicotine at that point and you?ll just relapse and start smoking again.

I hope this information is helpful because when I think about how bad I felt when I smoked and didn?t even know it I feel obligated to help people quit smoking. I don?t have anything against smokers; I was one for 16 years. I just like to help people and let them know that it is a breakable habit. If you can quit smoking then you can pretty much do anything! :thumbsup

Good Luck!

i just trained my brain to think that the smell of a cigarette is disgusting and it worked...i still smoke weed sometimes but cigs are gross to me now...it's a mental thing...

so glad i dont smoke :glugglug

Car battery, alligator clips, crotchless underwear, momentary
switch in your girlfriend's hand = faster quiting time. :Graucho

Quit over 4 months ago, and here's how I did it:

Don't smoke ever again.

It's simple, really, once you realize what you're doing. Just cut yourself off when you're thinking about lighting one up, and be entirely confident in your decision.

thanks for the tips man... i smoke for 10 years now, tried to quit a few times, but no success.... but i won't give up and try again

start doing meth and smoking weed. just have joints instead of cigarettes.

I am quitting in the morning. ( NO JOKE) I will try this. I have the gum, I have the patches. wish me luck.

you dont need gum and all that bullshit...its your brain man...you either have the power to control your own mind or not...

HighOnAcid! awesome tips man!!!! i seriously will consider all that when i try to quit......i havent had 1 smoke today, i want one sooo bad but i'm fighting off the urge, i need gum or patches or whatever right now!!!

Good Tips... I need something to help me quit... Saying.. I wont smoke is alot easier than actually going through with it !!
I have been reading lately about how bad it smells.. I dont even realize it is that bad because I smoke.
I am going to try to quit!

CONGRATS ON STOPPING!!

I quit about 5 months ago using the gum - was chewing like mad all the time - it really helps. My advice - DO NOT go out for at least 3 weeks. If you go out and have a drink, you're screwed, you're gonna light up.

It takes a lot of patience and self-rehabilitation to quit smoking. It's a tough job to make.
