Here's Some Tips to Help You Kick The Habit

from SmokeFree.gov : Why Quit

• Think about why you want to quit
• Decide for sure that you want to quit. Promise yourself that you'll do it. It's okay to have mixed feelings. Don't let that stop you. There will be times every day that you don't feel like quitting. You will have to stick with it anyway.
• Find reasons to quit that are important to you. Think of more than just health reasons. For example, think of:
  • How much money you'll save by not buying cigarettes
  • The time you'll have for yourself instead of taking cigarette breaks, rushing out to buy a pack, or searching for a light
  • Not being short of breath or coughing as much
  • Setting a better example for your children
• Write down all the reasons why you want to quit. List ways to fight the urge to smoke, too. (You will find tips for coping later in this guide.) Keep your list where you'll see it often. Good places are:
  • Where you keep your cigarettes
  • In your wallet or purse
  • In the kitchen
  • In your car
• When you reach for a cigarette you'll find your list. It will remind you why you want to stop.

it cut me off! LOL... as I was saying... similar to a product I had as a prescription many years ago. I believe that was called a Nicitrol Inhaler). That one sort of worked, but it burned my throat. Eventually I ended up just using it without the nicotine cartridge which really helped with the habit part of smoking. SO - my question is - has anyone here used an eCig? If so, what kind? And what did you think of it? Thanks!

I have been smoking pretty much since my early teens. I have quit a few times for anywhere from a few days to 5 weeks, even two years at one point. Quiting is the easy part! It's staying "quit" that's hard. I read the post about nicotine replacement not being the answer, but I disagree - IF it can help you to eventually quit completely by lessening the symptoms of physical and psychological withdrawal. I am going to get an eCig this week. It's actually similar to a prescription prod

Allen Carr's Easy Way To Stop Smoking book worked for me and a few other friends who read the book. Forget nicotine replacement. This is what doctors should be prescribing as how are you supposed to overcome an addiction to nicotine by continuing to take in nicotine from patches or gum?

This book really does make it easy to stop smoking. I think it's a total shame it's not more widely known because it really does work. Everyone i know who has read the book has quit smoking easily.
