Have you quit smoking? If so, how?
Have you tried alternative therapies, such as hypnotherapy or acupunture. I started smoking again about 3 days ago and i am struggling to stop already, i previously smoked for 7 years. Cold turkey is proving to fail for me. (do you know of any stratigies that help with quiting cold turkey?) I previously quit using champix tablets. I would rather not use them as they make me incredibly sick, physically and mentally.
It’s harder to want to quit smoking than it is actually to do it. Be completely honest with yourself: are you giving up because you think you should, or because you want to? If the former, you’re unlikely to succeed; if the latter, then you’re more than half way there. I tried patches and chewing gum. Patches didn’t work at all: chewing gum was OK as it gave me something else to do with my mouth, but made me feel sick after a while. All the therapies available will only work if you’ve already found a way to want them to work. Use them as a helping hand only, but don’t depend on them.

I kicked the habit successfully in 20 minutes by following the 3-step program:
1) dispose of all tobacco products you own
2) don’t buy any new tobacco products
3) if someone offers you any tobacco products: REFUSE POLITELY

Best way to quit smoking: "don’t start" (like I did).

I’ve been using electric cigarettes for a few months and they have helped my hubby and I in our quest to quit.
It was very easy to cut back, within a week we went from a pack a day to a 3-5 cigs a day. The hard part was choosing to stop the regular cigs completely. I looked at it like this, I am only smoking a few a day anyway, I might as well just not buy another pack.
Although, I am still addicted to nicotine, I have been cutting my nicotine levels back in steps (Like you would with the patch). I am to the point now I use 2 different carts Low and 0 nicotine. I know there is controversy surrounding them, but to me anything has to be better then the 4000+ chemicals I was inhaling.
It also has saved us money. It costs me between $30-$35 a month to smoke.
