Can you offer advice for smoking cessation?

I am quitting smoking today, and I have quit before. I had a decent prior attempt lasting 45 days, but I would like some more advice. I feel like my last attempt was just luck. Please do not quote the CDC, About.com, or any websites. Offer your personal opinions. I am not adverse to exercise, a lot of sleeping, and herbal/vitamin/tea/other healthy distractions during He** week. Thanks.Can you offer advice for smoking cessation?
Go down to your health food store and purchase Passiflora incarnata tablets. This herb contains a substance called benzoflavone that can help alleviate nicotine cravings and can also ease anxiety associated with nicotine withdrawal.





Another herb that can help is Avena sativa (oat straw) extract.

3 years since last cigarrette
The first thing you require for quitting smoking is your will power and a solid resolve. You need to overcome 2 factors.





a) Withdrawal symptoms like mood change, anger, depression, insomnia and headaches.





b) beat the Nicotine craving.





Along with your will power use an external aid. There are a lot of quit smoking aids available like gums and patches etc. I recommend a natural remedy from my experience. I used a natural remedy 'Crave Rx'. It is effective and has no side effects.

Good Luck!!
Don't feel like you have to ';go it alone';. Seek out non-smoking friends, if possible, until you have months of being a non-smoker behind you. Or quit with a friend...that's reinforcing.


It is a strong addiction and I applaud you for going the ';cold turkey'; route. Not all of us can do that. But don't rule out smoking aids like Nicoderm patches (my sister followed the directions exactly and quit 8 years ago) or Chantix (a new medication that partially blocks the nicotine receptors in the brain) I know a lot of office workers who quit using that method and I am taking it now. You may need a low dose, since you have good will-power.


Or, use some techniques I learned in smokenders years ago...change your routine. Sit in a different chair at the kitchen table. Brush your teeth or take 3 slow, deep breaths when you get an urge. Write down reasons you want to quit and post them where you are most likely to be tempted. Try to keep your hands busy. Observe non-smokers and notice wheat they do with their hands...and do the same, if appropriate. As for emotional challenges (impatience, when you are waiting, when you are irked by someone), say to yourself ';Smoking will not make the situation better';.





And, above all, believe that a cigarettes is not your friend. It is a rolled-up, chemically bleached tube with weeds placed inside, to which even more chemicals have been added,


in order to make you smoke more so the cigarette companies will get rich and you will become poorer.
Sometimes it鈥檚 a group thing, if you try to acheive something difficult as part of a group, the group will help you acheive you goal, cause you are all going through the same thing.
