Its free to join. Everyone on it is newly quit or has been quit for a long time and can give you plenty of advice about going cold turkey and managing it so that you stay quit.
Depends what kind of smoker you are. How many do you smoke a day? Do you smoke mainly social to do something with your hands, or not?
all you need is strong willpower to quit
and you will do it!
Just dont buy cigarettes.
I hear drinking milk helps. After drinking milk, cigarettes supposedly taste awful. After you’ve had several bad experiences with nasty tasting cigarettes, your body will actually associate that taste with the thought of cigarettes and your cravings with be drastically curbed.
Without spending money? Well, if you want to quit smoking, try the gym, 2 hours of gym makes you not want to smoke and if you smoke after gym, you feel shitt and it doesn’t make sense and the whole smoking need slowly dies.
By really wanting to stop smoking, then you can do it w/o the help of stuff.
willpower and money management if your a chain smoker who smokes like 1,000 boxes a week you can use that money 2 buy something
havent you ever heard of cold turkey?
if you wanted to quit that bad then you could just stop right?
you make you decisions not a plant wrapped in paper
It’s more than just spending or not spending your money. It’s about how you utilize your will.
Think about all the circumstances you find yourself smoking. Once you’ve done this, remove each circumstance one-by-one, until you have removed all associations with smoking (eg., after dinner, or with a drink, or chatting with friends, or while you have your morning coffee, etc., you get the idea). For me, it was also visualizing the black gunk going into my lungs. I could never smoke when I had a cold or the flu, so, when I got sick about 2 decades ago, after I recovered, I threw away my cigs and haven’t smoked since. It is possible to not spend anything if you let your will help. In fact, you won’t be spending money on cigs! Best wishes~ and good luck. Even if you reduce your smoking over the next few attempts, you’re doing your body a favor.
in england you can go to the doctor and get tablets or patches on prescription. if you qualify for free prescription you wont have to spend anything. i dont know where you are but there may be somewhere where you can get free support. good luck
That’s too easy. Stop buying ciggies. It costs nothing and you quit smoking.
Really you have to stop "cold turkey" Im still trying and can’t. I have been told to chew gum, chew on straws, toothpicks, anything to preoccupy your mouth. I understand..its so hard.
Cold turkey is pretty cheap, financially speaking.
The mental, physical, emotional and spiritual price-tag may be a bit steeper, however. 😉
There are gums and patches and pills and replacements of all shapes, sizes, and functions, but they require coughing up some dough. In your case, though, it seems that you may be more concerned about coughing up a lung, so I’d certainly consider using the money you’d otherwise be spending on cigarettes anyway to try one of these approaches.
If you’re mind is set that you’ll be avoiding costly alternatives, you’re going to have to possess (or cultivate) a hefty bit of resolve…but luckily that’s cheap, too.
If you’re a pack-a-day-smoker that can’t seem to quit all at once, by all means wean yourself off a a couple cigs at a time per day, You’re pretty much going to have to be alert at all times, since smoking is not only a physical addiction but a habitual practice that engrains itself into many daily activities. When smoking is part of your routine, sometimes you’ll find yourself yearning for a smoke simply because you’re driving your car down a certain road, or drinking your morning cup of coffee, or doing some homework or balancing your checkbook…whatever. This is a big roadblock. Psychologists and doctors alike will tell you that you have to consciously acknowledge the cravings you have for cigarettes and replace those cravings with something else (you might pop a piece of gum or a sucker into your mouth, for instance, every time you feel the urge to light up, or come up with another way to keep your hands and/or mouth busy like shuffling a deck of cards, keeping a bottle of water in your hand when you drive, carrying one of those stress-ball things, etc…)
It’s also recommended that you identify these smoking-trigger situations and simply avoid them completely for the first few weeks. If you smoke only when you drink, cut back on drinking and avoid bars and restaurants that you might associate with your cig habit. If you always smoke at a certain time, like on a coffee break at work or between classes at school, find something else to do at that particular time. If you can visualize the exact moment and location that you light up in a routine car trip, take another route. Extreme and cheesy as it may seem, if there’s one particular person or group of people that you always smoke with, either take a littler breather from the close contact, or at least distance yourself a little from others when they’re smoking so you don’t get peer-pressured into bumming one, too.
You might wanna try some positive reinforcement, too. If money’s an issue, for every day that you don’t smoke, put whatever money you think you’ve theoretically "saved" by not smoking into a jar. Tell yourself you’ll buy yourself something cool when you’ve reached your goal. To make it trickier, every time you do smoke, take some money out. Find a NEW (smokeless) hobby…like maybe disc golf, ping-pong, some other sport, a video game of interest, whatever. Find somebody you’d feel guilty smoking around, like a little bro or sis or your grandparents, and make a certain time each week to hang out with them (almost guaranteed no-smoke session). Make it harder on yourself — don’t carry lighters or matches on you, and reconsider even having a smoke on hand (or money to buy them) in certain situations.
You could also just inform everyone you hang with that if they catch you smoking, they are free to give you a good boot in the hamstring, or something. 🙂
In short, quitting smoking is hard. I’m still battling with an occassional craving, myself, but I’ve worked it down to probably a few cigarettes a week. You’re gonna hafta be strong in mind and body, but it’s definitely possible to quit without marketed stop-smoking aids. Just remember that slow and steady wins the race — completely depriving yourself all at once isn’t any way to make yourself happy, but giving up and inhaling a whole pack just because you slipped and had a puff or two is no good either.
There are a lot of good websites out there devoted to helping people give up a smoking habit. Google just might be your best friend. Good luck!
Try to locate a non smoking group in your area,where smokers get together and help each other out with tips,tricks,etc,on how to quit for good,or try to find free counseling in your area.
