health How Can I Quit Smoking?

[greatguy]

drop by medical city lobby, there you will see an exhibit of the physical degradation effects of continued smoking (as well as beneficial effects of stopping smoking) such as:

 

(1) gangrene

(2) collapsed lungs

(3) clubbing of fingers

(4) blackening deterioration of teeth

 

Just stop and if you can't see a doctor, it's not habit its nicotine dependence. For your sake and the sake of your loveones.

i'm currently on my 3rd day of smokeless life.. although this is my 7th attempt , i hope na magtuloy na.. this time ang strategy ko "basta tinigil ko na lang"

im actually trying to quit smoking..so far ive cut down to just 1 - 2 sticks per day. i used to smoke around 10 sticks a day.. what i do is that i try to stop thinking about it. when i feel the urge of doing it i just dismissed it right away. believe me its not that easy since i've been smoking since i was 18 and i also 1 of those call center peeps who have this nasty habit. doctors adviced me stop smoking since both my parents died because of the Big C.

quit cold turkey, that's the only way.

Quit cold turkey. I know it's hard but that's the only way to go.

 

 

It's my New Year's resolution so I haven't smoked in nine days. It's a daily struggle though.

cold turkey is the way to go. you cant do it gradually. you tend to justify why you have to smoke a cigarette in a given time ex. after eating or being stressed at work, and after that you will realized you've consumed the same amount of cigarette when you havent decided to quit.

im in this forum just to say that i am kicking this habit as soon as i finish this one im puffing hehehehe

 

kidding aside, im again determined to quit and i WILL quit, period. i've stopped for more than a year but for some unbelievably petty reason i've been at it again. it's funny how cigarette tastes awfully bad when i started smoking again after more than a year... i almost couldn't inhale it.

 

i've done it befoe and i could do it again.

I went cold turkey myself last year. But since I had been smoking already for over 20 years, it had temporary adverse effects. I developed hives. The dermatologist I went to see was pretty sure it was a reaction to my abrupt quitting. I took some anit-allergy medicine for a few months and now I'm okay. I still take a puff or two every few weeks, but generally I don't look for it anymore. Yung first month lang talaga yung mahirap.

Recently stopped after smoking almost everyday for 7 years straight. What's working for me are Lollipops (kasi i miss the gesture, syempre pag may nakita kang iba gusto mo na din magYosi, suck on lollipop instead) and the mindset (though mine is nonsense lang, kapag bumalik ako sa pagyoyosi hindi na talaga ko gGraduate, meaning pagkaGraduate ko pwede na ulit!haha making me even more motivated to meet my goal)

 

Btw, I've been yosi free for almost 2 months, also gave me better performance sa gym.

Try Zyban, by prescription, it's non-nicotine based. Na-try ko na lahat, eto lang nag-work talaga. 8 years smoke-free.

I was a smoker for almost 20 years. Kung gusto mo talaga mag quit just don't pick up a cigarette again. Do it cold turkey so there won't be any excuses. There will always be adverse effects but if you really want to quit you will quit. No ifs, ands or buts about it. But you have to be motivated by something whether it be your health, job, image, etc. I was motivated to quit when I saw my young children trying to emulate me smoking a cigarette. That was the last time I ever smoked.
