Everytime I want a smoke, I read articles on this site. Works for me.

Good Luck. Expect to feel tired for a week.

I was a smoker and I am a reader. When ever I wanted to stop smoking, I go to a website. This website is not run for profit. It is made up of real stories about real people that you can interact with..if they haven't died already...ugh.

It was started by a NASA employee. It covers all the topics. No matter your learning style, you'll get the message loud and clear. Talk about graphic pictures..and you can talk to these people. Dificult things are always easier with a friend and you will find plenty of support from these people.

The forst 3 days are the worst. then again in 3 weeks, and again in three months......you will always be a smoker. You just may not be smoking, but the addiction is always there. I wish you good luck. Contact me if you want more support locally.

...your body in 3 days, but the effects that nicotine had on your body last forever. Withdrawal is NOT all in your head. That's a very important thing to remember when trying to quit.

In the process of getting addicted, physical changes occurred, (mostly to the pleasure/reward centres of your brain). This is not to discourage people from quitting but to prepare them for the effects of quitting.

It will, (probably), be very, very difficult. If it was easy, you would have done it by now. Cold turkey usually doesn't work. You have a much better chance of quitting if you get some help.

Try a bunch of quitting helpers; gum, patches, inhalers. For a time, you will have to quit, (or severely cut back), the things that trigger your smoking.

This is very, very important; Look on the bright side. The psychology of quitting is very complex but maintaining a positive outlook is one of the keys to saying off your drug of choice. If you get sneak a smoke, you have to look at how long you were clean, not that you failed. Next time, you'll do better.

Ok...enough lecturing. Good luck in your quest.

...and part of my research revealed that nicotine will leave your body in about three days, the rest is all in your head. If you can remember that you got it beat. Unfortunately I didn't....this time.

Put it in writing. Write down your reasons for quitting on 3 X 5-inch index cards so you can refer to them when you are tempted to smoke.

Explore your motives for smoking. Keep a journal before you quit to document your feelings about your habit. You want to include details about where you smoke most often, when you smoke, with whom and why. Review your diary after four or five days to identify feelings and circumstances that trigger your cravings for nicotine.

Modify your behavior. Write down your "triggers" on the left side of a piece of paper and on the right side, jot down how you plan to either avoid or cope with those situations or feelings that send you reaching for nicotine.

Reduce the pleasure quotient. Most people have favorite brands of cigarettes. In the week or so leading up to your quit date, ditch your favorites for other, less-appealing varieties. For example, buy menthols if you normally don't smoke them. Buy low-tar filters or light versions of your favorite brand or try new, unusual brands that you've never smoked before.

Spread the news. Tell everyone you know you're quitting to develop a network of family members, co-workers and friends who can support your efforts.

Get rid of smoking paraphernalia. Throw out all of your ashtrays, matches and lighters.

Go cold turkey. Despite an urge to gradually cut back, stopping completely on your chosen quit date is the best approach to kicking the habit for good.

Reward yourself. Come up with reasons to celebrate your quitting at regular intervals. For example, a week after you quit, go to the movies or bowling. A month after quitting, go to a nice hotel for an evening or treat yourself to a shopping spree. A year after quitting, go on a nice vacation with the money you save from no longer buying packs of cigarettes.

If you relapse, don't panic. Identify what it was that triggered your desire to smoke again and come up with a way to cope with the trigger. The urge to smoke -- no matter how overwhelming -- will pass after a few minutes, whether or not you give into it.

Seek help. If you aren't able to quit on your own, try using aids such as nicotine gum or the nicotine patch. If you still aren't able to quit, see your doctor about other options. You may also want to join a support group. Whatever you do, don't give up!

Just imagine everytime you put a cig. in your mouth someone is holding a loaded gun to your head pulling the trigger- Russian Roulette. Cigs are just as deadly.
