way to quit smoking

I know it is hard to quit smoking. But I am determined to help my friend quit smoking. Just wondering what is the most effective way to quit smoking? Patch?
I have heard of electric cigarette. What is that? Thank you

Chantix worked for me, it was the least stressful way.

How to quit smoking cigarettes by dissolving cravings and withdrawal. A self help method to stop smoking that really makes quitting possible.

I'm not a heavy smoker, I only smoke about 5 a day, but I still feel the addiction and I want and need to quit completely.

What is the most effective/successful way to quit smoking? I've been cutting down little by little. Is that the best way or should I just quit cold turkey and force myself to not smoke through sheer willpower?
I don't use the patch or gum because I don't believe in using crutches like that.

mattyboymma, Smoking addiction can be extremely serious. Many everyday people have lost jobs, homes, family, friends, and loved ones simply because they could not break thier smoking habit. I recommend you seek some help. I found a site that has addiction information and a directory of addiction treatment clinics so you can help. http://www.addictionselfhelp.com

My girlfriend has been smoking for a few years before I came into her life and now since we are at 6 months I told her that I want her to start quitting because I hate smoking.

She has cut down to almost 3 a week when shes around me, but when she is with her friends (current smokers) or is drinking then she chain smokes non-stop.

It's obvious that her trying to quit isn't really cutting it and I want to find a way for her to be able to quit throughout the whole day everyday.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Keep in mind any attempt of me to take action by force results in her getting quite pissed at me, which stresses her more and makes her smoke more, so I'm trying to find an easier way for both of us

Thank you
*EDIT*

Umm we do get drunk more often then usual and the 3 cigs a week is ONLY around me, but she smokes at least half a pack if she's with her friends.

It's not a case that she's has dangerous habits now, but I want to prevent them later if this goes any further. Lord knows if I even thought of asking her to be my wife or somethin', then smoking would be something of the past

My mom smoked all my life, and I have a few health problems due to the second hand smoke. I will not bring my children up that way. Even if the person smokes outside they will still smell like it and be a bad influence. Not to mention die early and leave me with two children and a morgage. That is not the life for me!

When I first met my husband he was a smoker. I would not date him. He chased after me for months and when he finally asked me why I would not go out with him I told him what i just told you. He understood and began the long process towards quitting. It took him 4 months and I wouldn't date him until he was completely done, but now we are happily married and it was all worth it. Set your standards and don't ever compromise. If she won't quite for you and your future children, find someone who will....

I have been smoking for way too many years, and now that I am pregnant, I REALLY want to quit. I have found it is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.... HELP!!!!!

Think about the fact that the placenta is chilled around your baby for 3 minutes when you smoke and you are cutting off oxygen to the brain.
