How to Quit Smoking for Good

Posts Tagged ‘nicotine’

I don’t smoke, I’m just curious. How hard is it to quit smoking? I know Nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs, apparently. Please, people who’ve tried to quit (whether you’ve failed or succeeded), what’s it like? Why is it so hard? What’s it like to quit smoking?

I’m 16 years old and I want to quit smoking without my mum finding out. I looked into getting a quit kit from the NHS but they seem to come in envelopes with QUIT KIT written on them so that would be really obvious. I tried to quit before just on will power but it’s really difficult so I was hoping to get the nicotine patches you can get, but I can’t go out to get any because I’m grounded for an unrelated reason.

Help me please

I recently quit smoking but now I’m super irritable. Will taking nicotine supplements ease the edge? Any other suggestions?

I still have bitterness in the mouth. I know its nicotine. I try to chew sweet-gum, but the bitterness is still there. I am also drinking lot of water so that it dissolves and goes away, it has helped to an extent. But it still it feels bitter.

Any suggestions? I quit smoking cigarettes about a week ago.

my boyfriend has been smoking for 10 years now, and he has decided to quit last year. but lately he puffs 3x to relieve his chest pains. will this in anyway help him really get the nicotine out of his system?
My bf had smoked for 10 yrs. He stopped Apr 2006. He gradually reduced his consumption until he only puffs 2x a month or whenever he feels chestpains (withdrawal symptoms). It’s been 12months now, is it still advisable to take some puffs once in a while?

FYI he doesnt crave for a cigar. Can last 1 month without a stick. But then when he has chest pains decides to get a puff.

Is this just normal? Or should I tell him to endure the pain and not smoke. Is this possible? Or all quitters get through this pain with the same solution (of occassional puffing) ?

thank you for all those who replied. Really great help for me.

I’ve been smoking heavily for several years now and I’m looking for various methods to quit smoking. I think my biggest problem isn’t the nic fits, it’s the physical addiction.

I’m looking for some sort of fake cigarette that you light, and smoke, but contains no nicotine. Best thing I’ve come up with so far is to buy the fake marijuana substitutes and roll that as a cigarette.
I guess it doesn’t have to be something you light, but something to drag on and inhale would be so helpful.

Okay, I read that in order to break an addiction you gotto trick the brain and replace the habbit with something else. well I want to do this so smoking plants and leaves and things like that just to try and break the addiction work? then once my body has stopped craving nicotine cause there is none in the leaves and plants. Then I stop for good???

I know this sounds stupid but I want to do it to quit…

I am bound and determined to quit smoking, it’s been two days since I’ve had a smoke. I used to smoke a pack a day. I went cold turkey, and am using nicotine gum But the cravings are still really strong to smoke. I know individual experience will vary, but how long did it take for your really bad cravings to go away?
