ITS QUITE IMPOSSIBLE TO QUIT SMOKING ONE FINE MORNING UNLESS YOU HAVE A STRONG WILL POWER TO RESIST CIGARETTES. FEW POINTS I CAN CONTRIBUTE ;

1. TRY TO AVOID CARRYING THE PACKS WITH YOU.

2. AVOID SMOKING IN OFFICE AND INSIDE YOUR RESIDENCE.

3. REDUCE THE FREQUENCY OF SMOKING.

4. KEEP YOURSELF BUSY..

FINALLY, CALL IT A DAY, DONT WAIT FOR NEW YEAR OR YOUR BDAY TO QUIT...

CHEERS N ALL THE BEST...

Hi Guys!

No matter how hard you try, a smoker can rarely quit smoking. He/she may act in front of others that he/she would never smoke , but ultimately he/she starts again. May be he/she will increase the number of cigarettes he/she smokes a when he/she restarts.This is one of my best friend's experience.

I unfortunately have the same problem. It is not really the nicotine withdrawle that is my worry. The mental issue is my worry. I have heard that hypnosis this very successful. Does anyone know if this is available in Doha?

Cold Turkey.. Substitute the craving with something other than food.. I had a cup of chopped ice with me at all times.. I found that if I munched on that for the first couple of weeks it helped.. Whenever I wanted a cigarette I substituted it with the ice. I also walked a lot and exercised when I started to think about having a cigarette. I did not give myself a lot of time to think about the cigarettes. It was not easy to quit.. This worked for me..

get a piggie bank with a lock throw away the key, every time u want to smoke put Qr.6.50 into the box, whatever just keep putting money into the piggie bank every time u feel like smoking. Next surround urself with non smokers, try not to even inhale second hand smoke, take up a sport to keep urself busy. Idle mind is the devils workshop, a busy mind is a healthy mind.
