Hi!
Does anyone have any tips on how to quit smoking?
I've tried patches and gum but nothing works.
Never piss into the wind!!

Try to drink orange juice - apparently this help purge the system.
Then you have to want to give up. REALLY want to give up. Whatever the reason is, doesn't matter.
Then you have to stop.
I've been 'clean' for nearly four years now.
I don't miss it, but I just stopped enjoying it and giving up became easy. I had tried several times before.
Now I've stopped, I wonder why I ever started.

2. Set a date, but not too soon. Give yourself time to prepare yourself for it. Mark it on a calendar. I meant to do it on No Smoking Day when there's more support, but I got the day wrong!
3. Show you are serious by throwing away all your lighters, matches, fags and ashtrays, You're giving up - you won't need them anymore.
4. Take each day at a time ("just for today, I will not smoke"). You will go mad if you think you can never have another fag.
5. Stay away from places you know will tempt you to smoke (pubs,clubs etc) for at least TWO WEEKS.
6. If you last two weeks, you've cracked it. The worst is over.
7. Don't give up giving up. If you relapse, set another date and try again! You haven't failed, you just nearly succeeded!
heres a tip, when u know u wanna quit just do something like in a quick burst, just thorow yoru ciggarettes out the car window, and when u see yourself going to by more just keep driving past..
