Quit Smoking Ways That Work
Most smokers admit that they would like to quit and are looking for quit smoking ways that will make it easier, minimize irritability and ease other withdrawal symptoms. There are so many quit smoking ways on the market that it can be overwhelming to choose one. First you need to make the decision to quit smoking, no matter what. Next, you should choose one quit smoking product and combine it with additional quit smoking support tips. The most important part is making the decision.
There is no one quit smoking way that is ideal for every smoker, which is why there are many quit smoking products and aids available. Pick a method that is right for you. Here are some common quit smoking ways to consider:
1) cold turkey;
2) nicotine patch, gum or similar;
3) hypnosis;
4) herbal products;
5) acupuncture; and
6) behavior modification.
The first two quit smoking ways above, have the lowest success rate and are not recommended. There are some herbal and hypnosis quit smoking products that claim a success rate of 90% or more, these are your best choice.
The most successful quit smoking ways available includes: using a hypnosis product, include behavior modification and other quit smoking preplanning tips. By combining multiple methods, you drastically increase your chances of success. Behavior modification includes:
1) identify triggers that cause you to light a cigarette;
2) find alternative methods of dealing with these triggers;
3) avoiding people, places and activities that you associate with smoking; and
4) create new habits and routines, which are not associated with your prior smoking lifestyle.
These changes will make dealing with withdrawal symptoms easier, provide confidence that you have a formal plan to quit smoking and break the mental connection between smoking and your daily activities.
The most successful quit smoking ways also involve preplanning, such as the following:
1) make a list of all the reasons that you want to quit smoking;
2) read this list twice daily before and after your quit date;
3) set a quit date at least 2 weeks away;
4) tell people about your quit smoking plan;
5) identify the behaviour modification techniques that you will use;
6) consider quitting smoking in your house and car before your quit date. This will break the mental connection between these places and smoking. It will also help remove the smell of smoke from these areas before your quit date;
7) find new ways to occupy your mind such as reading, taking a class, crossword puzzles, etc and acquire needed tools beforehand;
create a special reward for yourself to celebrate your success; and
9) learn all about the health risks of smoking and the benefits of quitting.
One of the quit smoking ways many have found to help is to figure the cost of smoking and plan on a reward for yourself with the money saved from not smoking. If you smoke $5 worth of cigarettes per day, in one year you will save $1,825 by not smoking.
It is difficult to stop smoking. But if you are prepared and use the quit smoking ways above, you have a good chance of succeeding. Make up your mind to quit smoking, prepare your plan and just do it.
If you need support, there are many organizations and volunteers who are willing to help a person kick the habit. They can share more quit smoking ways and tips to help you succeed. There is no harm in asking someone to help you quit smoking. Make the decision to quit smoking and do whatever it takes. It will be one of the biggest accomplishments of your life.

Mar 16, 10 at 10:34 pmI recommend cutting down gradually until your quit date. I did this. I cut down to half a pack. I did this for three months. I smoked by the puff, not by the cigarette. I took only the amount of nicotine that was necessary to satisfy my urge to smoke and put the rest of the cigarette out.
After doing this for three months I quit cold turkey.
Now I’m eating more candy to distract me but its been 10 months. I have urges but they don’t last more than a second or two. If they’re lasting more than that then you’re concentrating on the cigarette. Don’t do it. Concentrate on something else.

Mar 16, 10 at 10:38 pmThe key factor when considering quitting smoking is deciding whether you really want to quit. If you do there’s lots of help out there. If you don’t, then nothing is going to do the quitting for you…
Hypnosis helps some people to quit smoking. Research has shown that it is about as effective as other methods (such as nicotine replacement therapy or counselling). It has been found to be superior when compared to doing nothing (evidence here: http://www.hypnosisandsuggestion.org/smoking.html)

Mar 16, 10 at 10:40 pmLike many others I smoked when I was young but managed to kick the habit before I was totally hooked, I was lucky and suffered no damage to my health. But for a close friend it was different, even though she was only a moderate smoker, her health was being seriously affected and getting worse with time. Now this is where I really sympathize with smokers. She like many smokers knew the dangers and had genuinely tried many different ways to quit smoking. She tried patches, hypnosis and read several books on the subject of quitting, nothing had worked. She always ended back at square one, knowing she needed to quit, but how, nothing had a lasting effect. That was until she tried Smoke Deter.
So why am I telling this, because I played a small part in her success. You see I heard about Smoke Deter through my son, his best mate had quit smoking using Smoke Deter and I convinced my friend to try it. She was very skeptical, but I was so concerned about her health that I said that if it didn’t work I would pay for it, so she had nothing to lose and that convinced her. That was a year and five months ago, it worked and she is no longer a smoker, she has never has the urge to smoke since she quit using Smoke Deter, that’s a fact and it’s the only product she tried that she’s happy to tell others about.
Smoke Deter is an herbal based liquid oral spray that is used 3 times a day, this is also supplemented with herbal pills which when combined is very effective at reducing your nicotine cravings. How quickly it works depends on the extent of your habit, it can work as quickly as 2 weeks or may take 3 months, regardless of the time, your health is worth the effort to kick your smoking habit.
It’s worth noting that Smoke Deter is safe, natural and has no known side effect and no known drug interactions. It’s highly rated on many stop-smoking product review sites, often with genuine testimonials from people that have also kicked the smoking habit using it. So I am not the only one that knows Smoke Deter gets the desired result.
Smoke Deter also offers a lifetime free membership support program, so you are never on your own, help is available 24 hours a day if you feel the need, like if your resolve is weakening. There is also a free Stop Smoking Relaxation Audio MP3 available, it might not be for everybody but my friend said it was definitely a help to her, it changed the way she thought about smoking. That’s what I like about Smoke Deter it changes your whole attitude to smoking, it works on your mind as well as your body. Unfortunately I’ve seen the damage smoking has done within my own family and also in my circle of friends, consequently I’m fully aware just how hard it is to stop smoking without some kind of help. I’ve seen first hand how Smoke Deter helped my friend quit smoking and so it’s not surprising she can’t say enough about it. So if this article brings Smoke Deter to your attention and as a result helps you kick the smoking habit, then for me writing about it has been worthwhile.
So if you’ve been wondering if these quit smoking products work, well I guess some do and some don’t, but one that has my recommendation is Smoke Deter, I’ve personally seen it work when other methods failed. I’m happy to pass that information on so that others looking for a safe natural way to quit can try Smoke Deter if they wish.
