Ummm...I have basically quit since I got pregnant, it was SO tough at first though. I'll tell you what helped amazingly, it was the electronic cigg. It was like smoking without the whole cancer part, and it really helped me just taper off naturally. I just started smoking less and less, and then I just kind of quit without even noticing. In my opinion, def worth the $$.
Good luck!
Good luck!
electric cig is expensive. Im gonna try the gum and patches and see how it goes.

^^I heard the gum makes people throw up and the patch makes people pass out for no reason
I never heard it but I dont dismiss that possibility. Of course not everything works for everyone. Im gonna try it though. Its not the smoking part thats hard, its the withdrawel.

i stopped about 2 years ago now, smoked for 8 years, two reasons why i stopped 1 was because in Ireland they stopped selling packs of 10 and two the price of them now. I got up one day and said ok thats it i'm done and that was it. I stopped did'nt use any other aids whatsoever just will power it was hard for the first while and i was like a demon without the nicotine lol but then after a while the cravings went and the times i did want to smoke i said to meself "ahh its been a month now mite as well see if i can make it two" and so forth. So will power is all i owe my success to stopping smoking.
I stopped smoking 43 hours ago, have not had 1 cig. I have the nicorette gum but not sure if its helping, might just be giving me a placebo effect. Willpower is a huge thing, I jsut keep telling myself I can do it.

I am the exact opposite.i find it catastrophic to myself to drink beer if i am trying to quit it.

I've not smoked in a week, mainly because I've not been bothered to go out and buy any.
I did quit for a period of two years at one point, without the use of any gum/patches. The first month was pretty tough, then the cravings went altogether.
So I'd say willpower, going cold turkey is one of the best, albeit most difficult ways of beating the habit.
Still smoke now though, though its out of enjoyment rather than addiction. I seem to be able to switch off them for months and months at a time now.
