I stopped by using 4mg Niquitine tablets. I haven't beaten the addiction to nicotine, but the tablets are a far safer way to get it.

Just don't buy ciggies anymore! I quit by doing that 5 months ago and have never felt better for it. Sure I get the urge but try not to socialise with people who smoke for a few months. Lock yourself indoors if it gets too bad. I'm not even joking! It done the job for me. Cold turkey. None of this pfaffing about with inhalators or gum etc. I would check with your doctor before doing it though.

Think like an acoholic - one day at a time. Pick a date, and before you go to bed that night tell yourself you'll try not to smoke the next day. Keep busy and every time you think about cigarettes give yourself a mental pat on the back. Try again next day, and the next and the next ... This sounds simplistic but it worked for me, and best of all you're doing it all by yourself, without any patches or gum. Most important, if you don't succeed, don't give up on giving up. One day it'll happen.

I had been on `the weed` for fifty years and I have not smoked now for about six years, and I have heart disease also, so if I can do it, am I better than you? I hope not. The way I did it was to smoke horrible cigars which I hated until I decided to pack them in, which was easy, and vowed not to go back on fags. So find an awful fag you don`t enjoy and try that.
