Does anybody have a way of giving up smoking withouth the gum or patches??

well the patchs etc are really just for makeing you feel good they dont actualy do that much its more about you thinking they are doing somthing and your brain believeing it.

think of the money you will save over time? maybe thinking like that working how much you spend and thinking of somthing to save the money for ?

never actualy had to quit since i dont smoke but thought id throw it in anyway good luck mate!:y:

Na matey, any ideas are much appreciated.
Gave up a while back for 8 months because i met this girl and she was propper motivatin to quit like.
But we split up, i did the "i'l just have one" which turned to "i'l just finish the pack" and so on.
best thing to do would be get the bird back but there is a 99% chance that will NOT happen lol

everytime you would normally buy a pack of fags, go to petrol station and put petrol in instead... the money saving should appeal...

i have never smoked so i wouldnt know though.....

how about get hooked on weed instead??

Take an old coke bottle

Fill it part up with water

Put a load of dumpers in

Shake it up

Put lid back on

Leave for a few days

Smell

^^ That there is enough to make anybody sick, not to mention the fact it's whats happening to your insides ...

My dad had been smoking for over 40 years and had tried and tried with loads of methods to quit. But none worked.

Then he read this book by alan carr on giving up smoking. Basically it re-programmes your mind to make you belive you dont need the fags. He quit after reading it and hasnt smoked for 3 years now!!

Don't think about it.
Don't go near smokers.
Chew normal minty gum.
And drink lots... Cause people mistake certain cravings for thirst :]

Tis how I gave up!

My problem is i like things too much that i shouldn't.
Like ciggies (obviously) and drink... even weird stuff like...
there was a computer in my old school that when you put your hand on the metal top, you got a little shock (like off an electric lighter) and i foookin loved it!
