Quitting Smoking With Help
When it comes to quitting smoking I advise you to get some help.
It can come in two forms - a spcialist - not someone who just going to reccommend nicotine replacement therapy, but someone who has a proven track record using tried and tested techniques and behavioural changes.
Or it can come in the form of a quit buddy. Quit buddys can be a pretty good idea, for a start you can swap ideas on what has worked / doesn't work for you. You can discuss the benefits of carrying on smoking compared to the benefits of quitting. You can both find a new activity that will distract you from smoking and you can support each other when times are tough.
Quitting smoking on your own, with nicotine patches and gums or with will power can be extremely difficult and can take up to ten attempts. Find someone who can give you the best tips and advice to help you quit in one attempt, in a few weeks rather than in seven frustrating attempts over eight or none months.
Don't forget that at least 84% of people who try to quit on their own or with patches will ultimately FAIL and will be smoking again in a matter of months - it's innevitable. Quick-fix methods don't work, they are the equivalent of a 'get-rich quick' scheeme - sound like a good idea, show some prmise but ultimately are a complete let down and you often end up worse that when you started off.
