If you have followed the tips so far you will have learnt about the power of nicotine addiction, why you smoke and how to deal with weight gain , cravings and stress, it is now time to begin putting this together in your personal quitting plan.
Top 10 Tips

1. Start with some pre-preparation by ensuring that you really do want to quit smoking and understanding why you smoke. Are these reasons powerful enough to motivate you when you are faced with those tricky situations? Write down your reasons for quitting. You may want to take a look at some of the benefits of quitting.

2. Set yourself a date for quitting. Try and choose a date that will be stress free but when you can find plenty to do to keep yourself busy. Try and set a date within about two weeks of reading this.

3. Ask your doctor for advice. This is especially important if you have health problems or are concerned about issues such as weight gain.

4. Consider finding yourself a quitting partner relatives, work colleagues and friends are a good place to start. Set a date to quit together and you will be able to give each other support.

5. Tell your family and friends about your intentions. Ask them for their support before you quit and explain that you may not be yourself while experiencing withdrawal. When you reach your quitting date rely on those that have been most encouraging for support.

6. Think about starting an exercise program and a sensible eating plan. Again speak to your doctor or dietician. Exercise will give you more energy and help you to relax and relieve stress.

7. You should know what triggers your desire for a cigarette, such as stress, the end of a meal, drinking in a bar, etc. Avoid these triggers while you are trying to quit or if that's not possible, decide how you will deal with the triggers.

8. Decide what you will do when you experience cravings. As we've discussed deep breathing, a short walk and keeping you self busy will help to take your mind off the cravings. Perhaps you can think of other ways. Write them down. Remember these cravings will only last for 3-5 minutes at a time.

9. If you have tried quitting before maybe you came across a stumbling block which we have discussed such as finding something to do with your hands. If so, you need to arm yourself with a solution to these foreseeable problems. Get yourself a pen, or stress relief aid to fiddle with, if occupying your hands is a problem.

10. Be positive and confident you can quit. You have spent time and energy planning how you will deal with the task ahead. You can and will do it if you persevere. Ten of thousands of people are quitting every day around the world. You can be one of them.

Good luck to you,buddy.

A different way at trying to quit smoking!

My experience with Alcoholics Anonymous has been that a lot of the people in the meetings smoke. If 12-Step is such a wonderful program and can keep you from drinking why don't these people us the same program to stop smoking?

Because the 12step method doesn't work.

Folks in AA will give you a song and dance that you shouldn't try to quit cigarettes until you are comfortable with not drinking, and then use every scare tactic they can so that you're never comfortable. They keep you off balance to keep you bound to AA. It is very cult-like in this regard.

80% of people who quit drinking do so without any type of treatment or program:

is there anything i can do to remove this black stuff off my lips, why do they turn black in the first place? i know some smart ass is goin 2 say 'stop smoking weed' but i aint trying to hear that.

Your right, But you don't have to be smart to know not to smoke weed. You just have to be extreamly stupid to smoke that stuff. I think you deserve minging black stuff on you lips because it teaches you a lesson.
You know that weed could have anything in it that could and probably will kill you, so the black stuff is the least of ou problems.
I hope you get a brain before you die...

Around 3 times a day, usually at night, our smoke alarm goes off. There's no fire, no smoke, nothing. What's causing it to go off so much and how can we stop it?

Ain't that a pisser?!
It probably is a warning that you need new batteries. Maybe? lol
Maintenance and repairs. Not my best category.
Good luck with that, dahlin. ;-)
