A lot of people say this book, "Allan Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking" has been very successful in helping them quit.
If you have a spare $424, there's a seminar u can attend in TO next month, money back guarantee.

Wow, a whopping $424. for that kind of money, I think Cale's suggestion would be much more effective:

This week is apparently the National Non-Smoking week until the 27th.

I know me personally, this is the year I want to quit. I haven't totally cut myself off yet, but I have been down to 1 smoke a day since Monday now. I only have about 5 smokes left in my pack and don't wanna go out and buy more. So after the weekend I suppose this means I will have to quit totally

Man I LOVE being smoke-free!! I'm so proud of myself for quitting, I never even THINK about it anymore...except when I'm thinking about how gross it is!

I really love that I truly have no desire to do it anymore. I can't even associate myself with being a smoker.

I feel like a dummy for having done it for so long though. Idiot.

I felt great when I quit for 2.5 months last summer. Then I went to Amsterdam for holidays. I thought that I would be ok, but I wasn't even landed for 5 hours before I was completely rocked and asking for a smoke. I haven't quit since then So now it is time.

Hang in there. I've smoked for 7 years. I quit on the 3rd of Jan and am on the patch. I have no cravings, not even after drinking or smoking weed or pills. I have about another 4 weeks to go with the patch and then I will see if there are any cravings. I am not one to avoid friends that smoke. Quitting is very hard. I've tried Ziban 3 times, cold turkey 2 times and this is the first time on the patch. I've realized with the patch that for me it is a purely physical addiction and not phycological (having something in my hands, having something to do). I am hoping it will not be too bad once I'm off the patch.

Good luck to all the quitters out there. I beleive in you and so do others.

P.S. Smoking is a digusting habit and I'd love to see cigarette outlawed, which will not happen any time soon.

Aw I feel the same way. I quit for a while, but one night, I got drunk and started smoking, and got re-addicted. Now I am trying to quit. It's reeeeeally difficult for me. I need more will power I guess.

Thanks, the support of people around me is inspiration enough to quit. I think it is very therapeutic to go where people are smoking, stand there, explain that I've quit, and then go on my way.

Will power. I made the decision to do it and that was it. I cut down gradually months in advance to when I knew I was going to quit, which made it even easier:

I quit smoking in November after 10 years, and it was surprisingly easy.

The main thing was recognizing how pathetic it was that I let myself become a slave to such an unhealthy, disgusting habit.

I smoked mostly out of boredom, so breaking the habit was most important for me. Once I did that, I smoked a lot less (duh), and made my eventual termination a lot easier.

Smelling other smokers really helped (and still helps) too. They stink to the point of nausea, and I find it really irritating. I just tell myself "That's what YOU smelled like! Ew gross! YOU'RE gross!!" Amazing how much that helps, lol.

I dunno...you REALLY have to want to do it, because aside from the physical addiction...it's all in your head.

It's also good to acknowledge your cravings when you have them, instead of ignoring or denying it. The feeling only lasts a couple minutes, and the sooner you accept it's there, the sooner it goes away.

Drink LOTS of water!

I've also made some other lifestyle changes...eating better, getting regular exercise, drinking less alcohol, no more hard drugs...so smoking REALLY doesn't fit.

Plus, I'm going to be a nurse...it's important for me to be an example of health if I'm going to be an advocate for other people's health.

It's just plain stupid!

Cut off your hands, then you won't be able to hold the cigarette
