Hypnosis helps/makes some people quit smoking, but it wouldn't probably work on you. word of advice: as long as you really don't want to quit, it will be tougher to quit.
i used to smoke daily when i was younger, then I started cutting back just because i hated how i smelled. afterwards, the only time i smoked was when i hung out with friends who smoked, or when i had a drink during a night out. now i almost never smoke in the daytime and if i do people are shocked. i only smoke when I'm out and having a few drinks and enjoy it when i'm drunk.
I just prefer not having my mouth taste like a dry ashtray when I wake up. that's the reason why i happen to smoke less. |

Well I've been smoking regularly for around 8 years, quit a few times, although not really, obviously. ;)
I remember talking about this on here I guess a little over a year ago with regards to New Year's resolutions. That worked out real well for me. :D
So lately I've decided it's time to quit. I was down in SD last week hanging out with a friend who smokes 2 packs a day. And whenever I'm around someone smoking, I smoke. So whenever she lit up, I did too. After a few days my throat felt so ty I said, "Screw this, I'm quitting!" :)
So I decided I'd try to taper down to 10 or so a day, then 5, then 3, etc. Monday was supposed to be my first day of doing so, and of course I smoked a pack. :(
So now I've made up my mind to do what my doctor told me to years ago when we talked about smoking: choose a date that seems far in the future, smoke like a chimney till then, and then STOP. :p
I have spring break from school starting April 7th, and luckily since I work for the school district I have work off that week too. So I'm going to go up to the dispensary, load up on cheap outdoor (which is actually decent and cheap as all get out!) and hang out at home all week, and NOT SMOKE! (cigarettes, that is :p ) I figure I'll be spending a lot of time lying in bed and crying. :haha:
So good luck Billy, and anyone else on here trying to quit too! And wish me luck! :D |

Yea, that part sucks. You'll have a hacking cough for a couple weeks after you stop (depending on how long you've smoked). Mine lasted around 3 weeks. It happens because the cillia in your lungs which have been consistantly numbed by smoke for the past few years (or however long you smoked) are finally starting to become active again, and clear some of that old OUT of your lungs! Stay strong! |

any other tips would be greatly appreciated. |
I use the "Nicotrol Inhaler" for long flights. (you can get it from an MD) it kind of looks like a plastic cigar, and you pop these little inserts of nicotene goodness in the bottom, and suck away. in awesome. (i only need 1 drag, and i get a super nicotene buzz (it even burns a little...mmmmm...) also helps with hand to mouth fixation..

The other thing is, I can't smoke a cig w/o having a piece of gum or a mint in my mouth. If I try smoking just the cig and nothing in my mouth, I'll get rid of the cig quick! |
it's reallly bad to smoke with gum or something in your mouth :nervous: all the toxins stay in your gum long after you're smoking, and then you keep chewing on it...(one of the bigger causes of mouth cancers, etc...) chew after :D orrr...take out the gum/mint when you take a drag, and then put it back ;) |

I am now a non- smoker, i smoked for about 9 years, and i didn't go ONE day without smoking ,even when i was ill.
I tried, hypnotherapy, gum, patches, Everything until my friend suggested a book called "Allen's carrs easy way to stop smoking"
It is AMAZING!!! it does work , it's weird... but it works!!!
Now every time i see or smell someone smoking it doesn't bother me, i don't want a cig, i haven't gained any weight, it' wonderful!
Please try this, it will change your life........ for good!!!!
Good luck |
