Talk with your doctor about quiting. Since you are pregnant, intaking nicotine in any form will be dangerous for your baby. Your Dr will be able to reccomend other ways or ideas for you.
Good luck!
I’m currently reading this but would like to know if anyone here has had any success from it or have any other suggestions that don’t include hypnotism or patches and gum.
Thanks :]
I have read the book and I stopped for about a couple of weeks, however a friend of mine stopped smoking after she read the book. I no longer smoke and I did not use patches or anything like that, I found smoking to hard to do as there is nowhere you can smoke. By the way for me the best reason for stopping is that I do not plan my day around a cigarette anymore. I can not give you any advise on how to stop smoking just that you must want to stop, for me the biggest problem when I first stopped smoking was the fear of been a non smoker for the rest of my life,that past after about a week. I think is mentioned that in the Book, however I can not remember. But if you continue been smoke free you will understand the freedom I am talking about and the freedom that could only be understood by ex smokers. Good luck.
My bf has been reading the book and is planning to have his last smoke 2day!
Any one out thr who has read it?Any success stories?or mishappenings?
Genuine interest please
Thank you!
Allen Carr’s stop smoking books are the best books to read to stop smoking. His "Only way to stop smoking" is a lot more detailed than his "easy way" books but all of them are very effective. I think Allen Carr books are the most cost effective way of stopping. If the book doesn’t work then think about seeing a hypnotherapist as that has been proven to be the most effective way of stopping long term. Don’t even think about using patches etc. They are not designed to help people to stop smoking, they are just a big con designed to make pharmaceutical companies even more money.
I tried smoke away for a while, but it made me feel like I was on Crack and when I would go to work I couldn’t function.
Chop off your own head.
I’m 17 and I smoke about 2 packs a day. Any tips on how I can quit?

I’m so excited to be expecting my first child, and I KNOW that I must stop smoking. Lately I’ve found myself smoking more than usual, what should I do? Cold turkey doesn’t seem to be the best choice for me…any suggestions
Quitting cold turkey isn’t always the best solution when you are pregnant, it can put a lot of stress on you and that is just as harmfull to the baby as smoking. My midwife told me to cut one cigarette out per week. So if I was smoking 15 per day then next week only smoke 14 until you can quit. Count them out each morning and limit yourself to only the ones you have set out that day. Also when a craving hits try eating a lolli-pop or a popcicle, or munch on some baby carrots or something to distract you to keep your mind off of it. Hope this helps and your are succesfull.
have COPD, imperative i quit. any suggestions taken seriously
The Japanese have come up with an interesting solution which works for many smokers who want to quit – to suck on an ice block whenever you feel the urge to smoke. Although I myself don’t smoke, I think it’s worth a try. Carry ice blocks wherever you go in a cooler bag/box and suck on one whenever you want a cigarette.
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.
how do you tell someone to stop smoking pot in a mean way ?
that will upset them.
"bro let me hit that bud" take and run like hell…..
