[Poll] HOW DO I QUIT SMOKING?
October 2, 2008 - 11:56 AM

Hi Everyone,
I have a freind who has been smoking for about 35 years, 2 packs/day. He has tried so many methods to finally quit smoking. He wants to do it for his family and ofcourse health reasons. He tried the nicotine replacement methods through patches, inhalers, gums, you name it. They all work for a certain period of time but fail to keep up the effects in the long run. Essentialy, its the same effect you have with smoking, putting more nicotine content in your system.
There has been a lot of talk now adays about laser therapy. Has anyone heard of it, knows the effects, or knows if it is a safe method to use? I came across a better alternative to laser therapy called electrical stimulation. It works the same way, targetting acupuncture points in the ear, but it's much safer as it uses the electrical impulses to stimulate the nerves (the same electrical impulse the nerves use anyway within the body). I even read that it may be the only method involved in detoxifying the body and actually getting rid of any nicotine buildup there is from over the past years. It's called IQS and I came across their website the other day. www.iqscanada.com . It seems like a very valid and controlled program, and it is affordable too! Let me know what you think and if there are better methods out there I can recommend to my freind. Thank you for the help. I really appreciate it.
What is the best way to quit smoking?

Chewing gum is a good way to quit smoking. I have seen many people do this. And they quit it already.

Ok, as for the survey, none of the above. One of the reasons smoking is so hard to quick is because of the behavioral addiction. You're used to smoking after you eat so each time you finish a meal its a battle, or you smoke before you go to bed, so on. Keep a record of what you're doing each time you crave a cigarette and replace it with a different habit. Like every time you finish a meal, make tea. Or meditate before bed, or go running, whatever. Just find actions to replace the times you were smoking. The idea is to get these new actions as a part of your routine instead of smoking so you stop craving.

Lady Sarah,
We are hman and with the differenthabits we accumulate within our life time does makes us habitutal to thethmingswe get addicted. Soome are positive and some are negative. Positive addiction we long for because others too appreciate our endeavour negatives other will shun nad we to feel ashamed of and would like to leave.
Addiction is a psychological point of view thus it is not just one thing or another which we will have to leave to get away from it. People need behavioural therapy approach for the reduction of their behavior. as per the friend you are concerned of he has serious addiction 2 packs a day. Lady it was really a touching article youhadhaving concerns for him. Therapists have some procedural approach for removing bad habits to goodhabitsand we do not know what a good person hewill be after 2 weeks.
I am sorry Idid not take part in yourpoll becoz things are not so easy in practical life. Please forgive me for the same.
With warm regards,
Smiles,
Basistha.

Make a Plan. You can’t just up and say, “I’m gonna quit today.” You have to prepare yourself. Plan it out. Have a system of rewards, a support system, a person to call if you’re in trouble. Write down what you’ll do when you get an urge. Print it out. Post it up on your wall, at home and at work. If you wait until you get the urge to figure out what you’re going to do, you’ve already lost. You have to be ready when those urges come.

Put The Damn Thing Down! Throw it away. Don't light it. And if you really want, you can stick it in your mouth backwards, suck on the tobacco untill your tongue and cheeks are all brown and then gag in a very repulsive manner!
