Re: Quitting smoking
A friend of mine went from smoking cigarettes, to chewing nicorette gum. She was hooked on the gum. Then she started the patch and tried to chew normal gum. But earlier this year she started to smoke again more often. I think she still does.

Today I’d sell my soul to the devil for a cig! Or to God. Whomever shows up first. :halo:
Sahar, yeh, like I said, it’s quite a well planned and executed lifestyle change if you’re serious about quitting. A lot of people quit for, say, few months and then get back on because a) They lose that determination down the road they had when they started on quitting – b) they forget how bad it was to smoke and quitting does not remain as important as it was. That’s the point where you’ve to be mentally strong because your cravings are over, it’s just the urges now and then to smoke.
I think eventually that goes away too once not smoking becomes part of your habit and lifestyle.

Most of the ppl I know of who gave up smoking successfully did it over night not gradually.
Re: Quitting smoking
Femme, yeh, I think there was something on the radio about doctors now think that it's best if you quit smoking cold turkey. I'm not sure why is that. But I think still different things work for different people. Someone who is, say, training to participate in a marathon probably won't need zyban because physical excercise itself creates those chemicals in the brain so you don't need an aide.
Re: Quitting smoking
