quit cold turkey, watch what you eat and no nicotine gums and patches wont help.

Just quit cold turkey!!! Its the only way it will work. I tried the gums, the patches, etc… They are all just crutches and will eventually lead you back to a smoke! I didnt gain weight, but it was hell on my body. I quit almost two years ago and i still have cravings now and then!

The thing about gaining weight is think that when people quit smoking they tend to replace their cigarette addiction with food.

I quit cold turkey over 20 years ago. I did gain some weight initially but with careful eating and exercise it came off easily. There is a temptation to smoke when you are stressed. What helped me is to just take a couple of deep breaths instead of giving into the temptation. Good luck – your lungs will thank you for it!!

cold turkey. just quit. its a good idea to plan in advance,and stick to your plan. it is far better to worry about a few extra pounds, than the possible death sentence of lung cancer

The gum worked for me, and I gradually replaced that with sunflower seeds for those times when you are “supposed to smoke”, like in the car, at a bar, after a meal, after sex, ok maybe not that one. I haven’t had a cigarette in 2 years, but I am up to about a bag a day of seeds. You may gain some weight, I have, but don’t worry about it right away. Deal with one thing at a time. You can work off the weight later once you can breathe again.
Good Luck!!

The best way I found to quit smiking…..is just cold turkey…and hold your ground!!!
You only have to fight the each nicotene fit for 3 minutes….after a week or so they will start to come less often and be less powerful. Whatever you do……
DO NOT PICK UP ANOTHER CIGARETTE.

Everyone is different. If you can quit cold turkey do so. If you have the discipline to gradually reduce your number of smokes it might cut down on the craving after you quit.
The big trick is to avoid being around friends who smoke. Tell them you are trying to quit and to either take their cigerettes elsewhere or at least wait til you can get some gum or something. I dont drink but many say you should avoid drinking alcohol because that is a easy to have a cigerette relapse. The big key is to have the will power to quit. If you sincerely want to quit then you will. But if you can’t face the discomfort of minor withdrawl symptoms then you might be in for a protracted battle.
Try the tobacco gum if it helps. Arm yourself with toothpicks or hard candy. Smoking is kind of an oral fixation. Keeping your hands busy or sucking on a peice of peppermint will distract you long enough to to resist the urge. After a couple of days you should be free of the addiction. I wish you luck and Happy Birthday!

I think it is best to quit cold turkey. I’ve never been a smoker, but have been around them my whole life. My dad quit a few years ago and he was using the patches. He said they worked pretty well, but they were expensive. After using them for a few weeks he finally gave up the patches because he was tired of putting them on. He quit and hasn’t smoked sense. Also, when I started dating my boy friend, he was a smoker, but he knew I hated it. He tried the patches, but they would never stay on. He tried smoking different kinds, getting the ones with the larger filters, but he just smoked more. In the end, he hated the dirty looks I would give him, (not even on purpose) and he quit cold turkey. It has been five months and he is happy. So, whatever works best for you. Try cold turkey, but if you can’t do that, go for the patches, they work better then anything else I’m told. Good Luck!!!!

First I’d like to give you a pat on the back and I truly wish you success! Your own will power will be the thing that allows you to quit smoking when all is said and done so don’t waste your money on those other products. Drink lots of cold water, and watch your weight by eating a very healthy diet and exercise, that helps with cravings too. After the first 3 days the cravings should subside quite a bit.
