How difficult it is for you to quit smoking depends on how difficult it is for you to make a decision. :esmoking: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay-qu Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Im sure it would differ from person to person, the length of time they have been smoking would also be a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1ay Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 FWIW, I quit smoking nearly 7 years ago after having smoked for 25 years. I still have the cravings but I've simply learned to live with them. This is why smokers that have quit for days, months or even years slip back into the habit. It is a difficult addiction to face and only the persistent will win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got any comparisons to how difficult it is to quit to something else similairly as difficult? Is it harder than starving yourself for a few days?It is not easy.It depends a bit on how addictive a personality/genes you have.Some say it is as hard as giving up heroin. I found the best thing was Cold Turkey. You also need strong motivation; Do it for your family. In Australia they have phone help lines to support those quiting Some people find nicotine gum helpful but then get addicted to that. I found a big dose of Ginseng helpful as it also jags the adrenals (About 3 tea bag/ Korean instant tea? 3g x3 whenever the urge hits you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Bang Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 It's not pleasant, but you will be successful when you decide that you WANT to quite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
