how'd you do it. what do you recommend?  

can't give you advise since I don't smoke but I am estatic for you!!! If you need someone to yell at when you get weak. Give me a call!! :) 

I went cold turkey, with regular chewing gum, been smoke free for 4 years. My parents used the lozenge and it's worked quite well for them, they've been smoke free for 6 years. 

lmao. im feelin very weak right now! im cold turkeying it so far, but for the sake of my husband and daughter, there has to be an easier way.

I don't smoke, but my mom did.. and did for 30+ years, she used Chantix. You start taking the meds, and you slowly ween yourself off of the cigarettes.. you don't just quit abruptly. Good luck!! 

My mom and dad have both used the pill. Chantix is what's it's called I think. My dad smoked for 40 years and used it to quit last year. 

People say to stock up on suckers to satisfy the hand to mouth motion. Chew gum like she said. I don't smoke but wish you the best in quitting :D

I don't smoke but wish you the best in quitting :D Yup, i've been doing this. but for biting my nails. lol. i haven't bit my nails in over two weeks. now it's time to quit smoking! Im looking into the Chantix pill. but golly, my husband better do this shiit too! 

how'd you do it. what do you recommend? I did cold turkey, when I was about 22/23... I'm 28 now. I got tired of stinking like an ash tray. 

Well I don't smoke but I do wish you the best of luck!! 

try electronic ciggs... esmoker.com i think. like a cigg, but not. you can go from high, med, low to 0 nicotine. my hubs is about to try this. my cousin uses them and she hasnt touched a real cigg in over 2mths.. good luck. 

its hard. 

Get pregnant!! No better reason than to create a healthy human!! LOL. But no, for real, when I quit, I did not do it cold turkey, I quit with no meds, and slowly weaned myself down to 1 smoke a day, then when I felt I was good, I just stopped buying them. The 1st month was a little rough knowing when I was stressed that I did not have that to look forward to, but it has been over 4 months now, and I have no problems. I wish you the best of luck!! 

the patch takes the edge off 

i just up and quit. started walking to keep my mind off it. and now im getting in shape and dont smoke. 

i used the patch and chewed lots of gum. 

i'm not sure if they do it for dependants...I dont see why they wouldnt, its a great program and wonderful to help everybody live a healthier life, but call the naval hospital and they have a program called smoking sensation or something like that. you go to a little class, and depending on how long you've smoked and a plethora of other things they'll give you medication. And i would assume its all covered by health insurance. I'm getting ready to go to the class, I'm just waiting for them to call me back. It's time. If you need someone to go with you I would be happy to and we can do it together! just holla!! and good luck!! 

I didn't read the other responses, so I don't know if something similar has been posted yet (if so, sorry! lol)...but what I did was just to cut my number of daily cigarettes in like half. I only took about 4 or 5 drags off of each one before I put it out. Each week, I would just cut down the number I allowed myself to have. Good luck!! 

try electronic ciggs... i seen this on the news the other day. they said its even worse for you than smoking. but i was offered the chantix by my dr. you have to go to some class before you get it. i never got a chance to doit before i left though 

I need to stop egghhh 

I smoked for 6 years. Even through my whole pregnancy, that didn't stop me. The only reason I quit was because I got really sick with pnemonia(sp?) and it hurt to smoke. I spent a week in the hospital and by the time I got out it had already been almost 2 weeks since I have a cigarette, so I was over the withdrawls. I just spassed my one month not smoking. But since I don'tt hink you wanna go through it like I did lol My did it another way. Licoric root. It's a real root you buy at health food stores and it's been proven to help you quit. When you want to smoke you hold the root like you would a cigarette and just kinda suck/puff/bite the end
