Giving Up Smoking

[Otrere]

OK. Whose done it? How did you do it? I want to stop.

Tips and advice all welcome please.

(No lectures about how bad it is for you, blah blah blah (I know all of that)) - just want useful tips about what to do to stay calm, keep hands busy etc.

Cheers.

Hiya. I would definetly consider Allen Carrs books as suggested above. I wasnt even thinking about quitting 5 months ago when a work colleague suggested I read the book just to see what happens! I read it and completely shocked myself by not having a fag since. My boyfriend read it and did exactly the same. Its brilliant!

Good luck to you x

I do smoke actually and what i would say to that i basically smoking is a habit think of what made u start and how it developed.  The reason why it is so hard to stop is because it is a habit.  Find another habit, another way to take up your time.  COLD TURKEY!
