Cigarettes are one of the number one contributors to Stroke and Heart attack. in addition it contributes directly to cancer, lung disease, emphysema, and increasing dangerous radicals in your body, not to mention creating a high toxicity of nicotine concentrated in your blood, and brain damage. Smoking constricts the arteries of the heart and brain and bronchio lung functions.
Walk through the stroke unit in your local hospital and see how incapacited stroke victims are, perhaps that will be a wake up call of what is waiting for you if you keep smoking.
The choice is yours, but I advise you stop now by any means necessary. Talk to your doctor.
Maybe join a support group. I think they even have websites like quitnet.com
Depending on your resources, some people I know have tried hypnosis, the patch, gym memberships.
There is no best way or worst way. any way is the best if you stop. Ultimately it's your commitment that makes a method work or fail, not method. want to quit? Just do It, end of discussion.
cold turkey, just grow a pair and do it
ROFL I AINT DONATIN TO U WHEN UR DIEIN U L0000ZAAAA
You really have to want to quit first. That's the first thing you need to work on. Make a list of every real reason you'd like to stop. Post it around the house.
I tried just about every product out there and so did my husband. when we finally quit it was cold turkey that did it. It is hard, expect it to be hard. Biggest thing you can do for yourself is learn the following. Change your playground and playmates. what does that mean? Don't continue going to the same places where people are smoking, don't continue hanging out with your smoker friends. if you do, you'll fail. It stinks giving up friendships for awhile, but worth while. Meet others who are not smokers and hang out with them.
You can try hypnosis and even accupuncture to help with the cravings. But in the end, it didn't work for me. I just had to get through them and deal. I used carrot sticks and rubber bands. I used the rubber band to give my hands something to do instead of fumbling with that cigarette.
Get rid of the cigarettes, every last one of them when you are ready to really quit. do this on a weekend where you can be home. Start to clean your house like crazy. Scrub the floors, the walls and even the ceiling. Change your light bulbs, clean the lights and fans really well. Wash the curtains, steam clean the carpets and furniture. Wash all your bedding and wash your clothing. Get the smell out of your house. Wash even the windows on the insideand the shower curtain. Give your entire house a good clean smell so you won't get any whiffs of cigarette smoke in your home to start a bigger craving. Next, clean out your car really well. Throw out all ashtrays, dont' even bother to clean them. Get them into the garbage and get your garbage outside! Rewash the dishes. this will give you two full days or more of non stop cleaning which will keep you busy enough and keep your mind focused to help you with the worst cravings. why sit around and listen to the craving? be too busy! Steam clean your car out the best you can! Air it out as well. clean the carpeting, clean the seats and scrub it down extra well!
Clean the computer extra well too. Get out that smell! Give yourself a great shower and wash extra well, go buy yourself a loofah and scrub your skin down really well and rub off as much of the toxin as you can.
Now, for the rubber band. Every time you get too big of a craving and the playing wiht the rubber band doesn't help, snap the band hard on your wrist. Make it hurt and continue to do so until the craving goes away. Make that craving a negative. Chew on carrots and suck on toothpicks.
You can do this, i know you can. You'll start to feel better in a month, your lungs will stop hacking so much! But it does take years to get your lungs healed from all the damage you are inflicting upon them.
good luck.
