Okay, so i need tips on how to quit smoking. I tried cold turkey and it didn't work so well, so i'd like all you peoples opinions on how to quit.


I'm confused... about life. and life hates me.

My suggestion is that you go and see a doctor. Each person is different; some go cold turkey, some use the patch, some use gum, and some use other less orthodox methods. There is a new drug called Chantix and is quite expensive, however, many who've taken it say that it works wonders. Most important is a support group, either friend(s) or family.

Whatever you do, congrats on attempting to quit. It'll be tough, but if you succeed, you'll feel much better.

try self control. I really dislike smoking because my shithole dad smoked and it basicly destroyed my early childhood. Now hes an alcholic but atleast i can breathe again. Dude get your confidence up and believe in urself. Self control is the best way to quit dont use a stupid patch. Just say no. think about concicuences. use your head kid Wink

I've never smoked, but I've heard if you chew gum you don't want to smoke as much because your mouth's busy. Don't know if it would make a difference, but hey, you could try. It could be an old wive's tale though.


Just because nobody understands you, that doesn't mean you're artistic.
