Answer:
Just. Quit. Nicotine isn't that addictive, and it's out of your system in a few days if you can just stick it out.
visit your doctor for Chantix
i quit cold turkey
but my hunni cut down then quit.
Read a few books on quitting. Seriously, once I had decided to quit, they pushed me the rest of the way. i quit cold turkey and hardly look back. but when i do i remember all the things i know about why i shouldnt smoke and i decide again not to. good luck!
I think cuttin' down slowly is the best way
my friend's dad stopped smokin' suddenly and he puked very bad and he had 2 go 2 the hospital so.. ya, slowly stop
hey
try gradually smokin les and lesss every day
Today u smoked 2 cigaretes suppose
tomomarow u smoke 1
and the next day u dont smoke at all
or you could try a quit smoking program or nicorette patches
I found cutting down gradually only delaying the stop date. I used nicotine gum and chewed a piece anytime I had an urge. I could generally make a piece last about 30 minutes.
It took about 6 months as I gradually tapered off the gum. I would chew other kinds of gum or suck on hard mints.
Also part of the bonus of not smoking is having your sinuses clear out. That won't happen if you taper off.
