Places like stop smoking forums could aid you to stop with no other methods whatsoever. Got an urge, just create a topic and receive help quick. It truly helps! Just give it a try, you'll be surprised how many people would attempt to aid you stop. Good luck. I rarely hear people mention online support places to stop smoking.

We tend to respect doctors and trust them - maybe less so today than back then, but doctors are still figures of authority. It’s very hard not to respond to the claim “trusted by doctors” or “recommended by pediatricians more than any other brand.” The idea is that people will respect the opinions of someone who is assumed to have a lot of knowledge about the product. People feel better knowing that someone with authority - an expert - has recommended what they are about to buy. This has been widely used in the past in cigarette ads.

Persistence pays off. @ Diana: I agree. @ Gabriel: This is GREAT! What an amazing accomplishment. What you describe sounds like going on a food diet - my husband did that a few years ago when he needed to lose a few pounds - you're hungry for a few days, but then your body gets used to it. @ Scarlet: Thank you! Persistence pays off.

@ Diana: I agree.

You don't have to throw all your cigarettes and lighters, keep them in a safe place, so you will spare the stress of not having cigarettes near you. Don't rely on patches or medicines, this is expensive and not efficient at all. If you just stop as I say, you will feel very hungry for about one week, then after it's more in the head. Just don't smoke again for any reason. You'll find that you sometimes secretely think "Just one, it cannot be bad" or "nobody is looking me, let's smoke and nobody will know". You will also dream about smoking. It will stop after about one to two months. But after one year, it is just a bad souvenir. I never think to smoke and certainly don't want to smoke again. Hi,

I read an article said that none smoker are in more chance of having respiratory disease than those who smoke. Because smokers will blow the smoke out from their mouth, more possible that the smoke will be take by none smoker like children. It will also cause air pollution. But I'm curious why people do smoke when there is always a warning in a cigarette pack that: Warning cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health. I advise that if you are a smoker, better quit now.
