I found trying that way just meant i slipped back soon enough. didnt work for me

But to each his own, might be the right way for you. Good luck

WARNING!!!! Cutting down your smoking or smoking lights are almost a sure way of increasing your smoking habit. For many years I tried all sorts of ways of quitting and lead up to me smoking two packs of reds a day.

I quit cold turkey, only way it works I think. The hard part is gettting a reason stronger than your addiction. For me it was when my son, 2 at the time, was pretending and playing that he was smoking. Put down the cig, and didn't pick one up again. The hardest is the first three days, everything else trails down from there and gets easier. Simply make it past three days. (If you are a heavy smoker, prepare everyone that you'll be a real asshole for a couple weeks).

I do pick up smoking again anytime I go on a deployment (because there's no alcohol or sex permitted and I need something). Quit everytime I come home. Found that the three day rule applies pretty much to any amount of cigarettes you are smoking.

Good Luck.

I fully support you. QUIT!

I'm surprised that no one said anything about patches or gum, but cold turkey is a good choice. I don't smoke, FYI.

I have a mate that didnt smoke, but for some reason another guy at college decided to give him a load of Nicorette gum. And now hes addicted to smoking. Bit backwards methinks
