Quitting smoking (HONEST!!)

[Dowly]

AARGH!! The mornings are a bi**h without a smoke. It's 2PM here and I just got up, not that I was tired but I really didnt want to as I wanted to get my morning fag so bad.

Oh well, alles klar now. Eating something helped abit.

More good advice on how to quit smoking.

Every time you see skinheads smoking, punch them in the face. When you finaly recover from the beating you take you will never want to see another cigarette again, if you do then reapeat till coma and/or distain for cigarettes is achieved.

Violence, it solves problems.

Now cut a slot in the middle of the lid....just big enough to take a Euro coin.

Every time you have a fag, put a Euro into the bucket.

Pretty soon that bucket will be full....send it to me.

In no time at all you'll be too skint to be able to buy a packet of fags.

On the positive side....I'll be quite wealthy and promise to spend 10% of yer cash on SNUS and send it to you as a goodwill gesture. :rotfl:

I should do that to my oldest bro, so many times I tried to get him to quit. Succeeded for a short time then find him with a cigarette in hand.

In a week or two I'll be sending those skinheads round 'to take blood'....to test the nicotine levels, obviously

Won't work, you will never succeed in making someone else quit. They have to do it on their own because they want to do it for themselves. You can and should though support their efforts to quit when they do decide to.

I have to say that a lot of the comments and suggestions I have read here don't hold any scientific weight at all. There are no magic treatments that will make you stop smoking, and very little that will make it much easier. About the only proven thing that can help a little is the nicotine substitutes (which can ease the physiological cravings), but those can transfer the addiction if missused. In the end you will succeed or fail based on your own motivations to quit, and your own willpower to stay that way. August is absolutely correct in his assertion that "commitment and personal discipline" are key.


Now about that quitting smoking book..

I have to say from initial examination that I am deeply skeptical of the effectiveness of the book (or therapy sessions), and that my initial examination raised a lot of red flags. For one thing its very obviously a money making venture. Second I looked at the often cited research studies and found them to be very flawed in their approach (they have a huge problem with confound variables, lack of a control group, etc) which pretty much nullifies their value in my view. There are also other factors at play which can explain why the book may be a bit more effective (including the fact that people who purchase something will very often rate it higher, and believe that it worked, simply because they put money into it). Testimonials are also worthless as there is no way of knowing if it was the book that was the major reason for success or other factors.

To those here who recommend it, I would question if it was in fact the book that got you to quit, or was it really your own willpower and desire to quit, along with other factors that was the principal reason why you quit. A lot of people find it easier to succeed when they attribute success to an outside influence (God, a book, etc), and as I said when you put money into it, you have an investment to justify in your own mind making you more prone to validate that investment.


Anyhow I'll end off with the some links to quitting smoking from the Canadian Government. I like their site as its clean and direct, and most of all backed up by hard science.

Dowly,

This advice I'm going share you and this is no joke it 100% pure real straight out from a family doctor (GP) mouth, are you ready............ cause I am going to do my very best to explain .

The answer is.........is SEX! Why because this will help you and to keep you in full control in yourself and in your mind. their for you are only focusing on a woman not a Cigarette or a Fag!

The more you focus and concentrate on a woman during sex this will help you to achieve your goal to quit smoking because your handsome hot dog is very powerful than a Cigarette or a Fag, and it take over your problem and your mind off the Cigarette and you are in control with a woman.

Do you understand what I am trying to explain because your brain it more powerful and in full control of yourself to quit smoking is SEX!.

Very important when doing this advice is you have to do as much sex as you can in one FULL LONG DAY! drink plenty of water and eat plenty of food to keep your DI-K alive and going mean it need energy to recharged.

Don't believe.............try it for a week then come here and then you tell me the truth is SEX is mighty then the Cigarette or a Fag.

Oh! and one thing please make sure the woman keep you in control during sex because you cannot do this on your own, this has to be in for full control between a men and a woman..................NOT! the Cigarette or a Fag.

PS. Good luck with your DI-K vs the FAG!
