easy way to stop smoking

my boyfriend really doesn't like me smoking and i want to quit. The only reason he wants me to stop is because emphysemia runs in my dads side of the family, and quite a few members of his family died from cancer, and he watched his grandad pass away from cancer. Please help me, any suggestions would be great. thank you. x

I quit 11 years ago by first cutting down drastically. I switched to ultralights (didn't like it at first, but kept going). Then I started using a system of filters I got in America which gradually removed everything I was inhaling. After a couple of months I was basically sucking on air. I found I could watch a film all the way through without a cigarette and eventually was able to go all day at work without a cigarette break. Then it was just the oral & manual thing I had to overcome.

I was lucky at that point. I met a lovely man who didn't smoke (we've been married 10 years now) and he took me camping around the coast of Sardinia for 2 weeks. I left the cigarettes in the car at the airport and never used them again (when I had an occasional pang, I turned my full attentions onto my new fella).

In retrospect the trick for me was motivation and the opportunuty to get away from that same old sofa, in front of the same old telly, with the same old cup of coffee in my hand and the same old smoking ex, all the things that made me crave a cigarette.

Good luck!

Another brilliant example of motivation & opportunity is my 64-year-old mother-in-law. She knew I didn't want smokers around her new granddaughter and she quit cold turkey when she came to stay with us for a few weeks after the baby was born. She had smoked 40-a-day for 40 years. She's been off them a year now!

If that isn't enough for you though, I have had several friends who have quit successfully with Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking. The idea is that you simply read this book and you have quit by the time you finish it. I know it sounds mad, but it really did work for 3 of my friends.

Introduction to Allen Carr#39;s Easyway to Stop Smoking

please, only answers from those who've tried it. i want to know how it effected you and what kind of side effects occured.

it helped me quit after forty years. it still takes a lot of will power but i think its a miracle drug and many of my friends and family have also had success. the only side effect i noticed was i dreamed more. you have to want to fight the addiction and this drug makes it much less frustrating

hey, my friend was a chain smoker. tell me the easy way to stop his bad behaviour

Hi there !
After knowing that it is a "bad behaviour",
if you are continuing the habit, that shows the lack of motive for stopping it..

Follow these guidelines :
1. Make the firm decision to stop .
2. visit the post operative / recovery
section of a nearby "cardiac hospital"
or a "cancer hospital".
3. after the visit, dont buy the cigarettes.

best wishes !

It is by Allen Carr.
Anyone tried it? What was the outcome.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

I haven't read it, but I was a smoker for sixteen years (started young - thought it was sooooo cool) and I haven't smoked in about 5 years. Don't miss it, either!

If you *want* it badly enough, you can do it. Heck, if *I* can do it, anyone can!!

Good luck to you!
