What is the quickest and easiest way to stop smoking?

February 2nd, 2010 | by admin |


I have a mental addiction to cigarettes. I can go home, and not have one, go on vacation for upwards of a week and not crave one at all, go out drinking and not want one at all… However, when I get to work, at my non-stress related job, which I love as much as one can love his job… I absolutely must have a cig… How do I get over this? I want to stop completely.

Different strokes for different folks; what works for others may not work for you. Don’t waste your time trying to get the "right" answer from other individuals. Google stop-smoking sites until you find one that offers the pros and cons of all the medical aids (patches, gum etc.) on the market, then try the one that appeals to you. One thing I think I can assure you of, though: quitting, no matter how infrequent your smoking is, is never ever "easy" and for lots of smokers, not "quick" either; lots of recidivists among "ex"-smokers. But don’t beat yourself up if it happens to you. Just keep trying again. Good luck.

    In your case, cold turkey is probably the best way, seeing as you were clean for several days already. What about your workplace makes you crave smoking? Do you need a different office that smells differently than your current one? Make a stop at the dr’s office, and see if there’s anything he can advise.

    The gum or patches usually work.
