Answers:
trash your cigarets, and say, I will never hold a cigaret in my hand whole live!
I smoked seven years, from 15 to 22,
the last three years I did not smoke one cigaret.
You can forget all helping drugs, or herbs or something else!
The best way is to say, I dont smoke anymore, and do so
Tell you a joke:
-Doctor! I have a serious problem, I can never remember what i just said.
-When did you first notice this problem?
-What problem?
Bye, hope you like it. Be happy everyday.
I need to go to level 3. Help me and vote for me and I will vote for you! Thanks! :-)
One more joke:
A guy calls his vet and says "What should I do with my cat?Vet says "What do you mean? Guy says "I had a leak in my lawnmowers gas tank and the cat drank the gas. Then the cat began to run around and around the yard, climbed a tree. then fell out of the tree stiff. Vet says "Is the cat dead? Guy replies "nope he ran out of gas.
A friend of mine managed to kick their habit by smoking herbal variations of cig's. They don't have the nicotine but you can still use them for the smoking "urge". Once you get all the nicotine cravings out of your system, gradually ween yourself off of the herbal brands.
Just don't stay on them too long. They still have tar and other carcinogens related to smoke inhalation.
It doesn't need any drugs or any thing to leave smoking only and only if you have internalpower to leave smoking if you have it you can leave smooking smoothly.
Try what is called Cognitive Therapy. It's where you educate yourself on what smoking is really doing to your body. Look at pictures of lungs destroyed by smoking, cancer patients, rotted teeth, premature aging - the lines you get around your mouth from sucking "coffin nails". Think about how your body needs clean air but you are basically deciding to inhale nasty smoke.
You can try the tapering down method: Smoke less and less per week. This is probably viable if you do not want to use nicotine therapy, which is actually not harmful to the body.
my GOD..!!

Determination. habits die hard. did you ever think of those who send in jail where they can't smoke? they just stopped, agree?
I smoked 2 cartons a week. I've been without a smoke for 20 years now. I found a book in the library called (You Can Stop) It tells ways to curb your smoking and to finally quit. Good Luck it takes a lot of will power to stop
i quiet smoking by going to gim, swimming, and GETTING A GIRLFRIEND ho do not smoke. get something what what you welee love and what tie you down. or simply get a joint, its much beeter.
nicotine gum actually works the best, seriously, it makes it amazingly easy to quit.

Good Reasons for Quitting
Quitting smoking is one of the most important things you will ever do:
You will live longer and live better.
Quitting will lower your chance of having a heart attack, stroke, or cancer.
If you are pregnant, quitting smoking will improve your chances of having a healthy baby.
The people you live with, especially your children, will be healthier.
You will have extra money to spend on things other than cigarettes.
Five Keys for Quitting
Studies have shown that these five steps will help you quit and quit for good. You have the best chances of quitting if you use them together:
Get ready.
Get support.
Learn new skills and behaviors.
Get medication and use it correctly.
Be prepared for relapse or difficult situations.
1. Get Ready
Set a quit date.
Change your environment.
Get rid of ALL cigarettes and ashtrays in your home, car, and place of work.
Don't let people smoke in your home.
Review your past attempts to quit. Think about what worked and what did not.
Once you quit, don't smoke—NOT EVEN A PUFF!
2. Get Support and Encouragement
Studies have shown that you have a better chance of being successful if you have help. You can get support in many ways:
Tell your family, friends, and coworkers that you are going to quit and want their support. Ask them not to smoke around you or leave cigarettes out.
Talk to your health care provider (for example, doctor, dentist, nurse, pharmacist, psychologist, or smoking counselor).
Get individual, group, or telephone counseling. The more counseling you have, the better your chances are of quitting. Programs are given at local hospitals and health centers. Call your local health department for information about programs in your area.
3. Learn New Skills and Behaviors
Try to distract yourself from urges to smoke. Talk to someone, go for a walk, or get busy with a task.
When you first try to quit, change your routine. Use a different route to work. Drink tea instead of coffee. Eat breakfast in a different place.
Do something to reduce your stress. Take a hot bath, exercise, or read a book.
Plan something enjoyable to do every day.
Drink a lot of water and other fluids.
4. Get Medication and Use It Correctly
Medications can help you stop smoking and lessen the urge to smoke.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved five medications to help you quit smoking:
Bupropion SR—Available by prescription.
Nicotine gum—Available over-the-counter.
Nicotine inhaler—Available by prescription.
Nicotine nasal spray—Available by prescription.
Nicotine patch—Available by prescription and over-the-counter.
Ask your health care provider for advice and carefully read the information on the package.
All of these medications will more or less double your chances of quitting and quitting for good.
Everyone who is trying to quit may benefit from using a medication. If you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, nursing, under age 18, smoking fewer than 10 cigarettes per day, or have a medical condition, talk to your doctor or other health care provider before taking medications.
5. Be Prepared for Relapse or Difficult Situations
Most relapses occur within the first 3 months after quitting. Don't be discouraged if you start smoking again. Remember, most people try several times before they finally quit. Here are some difficult situations to watch for:
Alcohol. Avoid drinking alcohol. Drinking lowers your chances of success.
Other smokers. Being around smoking can make you want to smoke.
Weight gain. Many smokers will gain weight when they quit, usually less than 10 pounds. Eat a healthy diet and stay active. Don't let weight gain distract you from your main goal—quitting smoking. Some quit-smoking medications may help delay weight gain.
Bad mood or depression. There are a lot of ways to improve your mood other than smoking.
If you are having problems with any of these situations, talk to your doctor or other health care provider.
Special Situations or Conditions
Studies suggest that everyone can quit smoking. Your situation or condition can give you a special reason to quit.
Pregnant women/new mothers: By quitting, you protect your baby's health and your own.
Hospitalized patients: By quitting, you reduce health problems and help healing.
Heart attack patients: By quitting, you reduce your risk of a second heart attack.
Lung, head, and neck cancer patients: By quitting, you reduce your chance of a second cancer.
Parents of children and adolescents: By quitting, you protect your children and adolescents from illnesses caused by second-hand smoke.
