Do not try and do it without NRT (nicotine replacement therapy) or patches in simple terms. Use them and keep using them as the instructions tell you to. You are far more likely to stay quitted with help. I would also recommend nicotine gum/lozenges to take the edge off the worst of the cravings, when in the pub, after a meal, when driving - whichever gets you worst.

Patches aren't cheap, but they are less than cigarettes and they won't kill you. Believe me, stopping smoking will change your life for the better.


Mark,

Kudos to you fella. Making the decision to stop smoking is a huge step in the right direction. I agree with Murf though - a lot easier to do if you use NRT in one form or another. Avoid drinking if you can help it as it lowers the resolve and leads to temptation. And don't view it as 'giving up' your not giving up anything, your GAINING, health, life, money, brighter teeth and fresh breath, clean clothes (less cash on dry cleaning just to freshen them up) etc. etc. Think positive and write out a list of all the things you hate about smoking and why you want to quit. Read it often.

Good Luck,

Jim
