    See this video from metacafe.

    You will understand that smoking is a slow poison. Store the video in your system and see it every day morning.

    As one of the friend answered, you should develop a mindset to quit smoking.  For that there is a technique called "Self Talk".  I heard about it in a positive mental attitude workshop.  What ever you want to achieve in your life, frame a sentence as if you achieved it.  And tell it repeatedly. (in a present tense)  

    The example given was quiting smoking.  You should say "I do not smoke nowadays".  Repeat it multiple times, every day. Your mind will start believing you, as a nonsmoker. It will not allow you to smoke any more.  

    But this will not happen overnight.  It is slow process.  But this will be concrete solution.  Surely you will stick on to the resolution you take to quit smoking. It will not be short living resolution.  You can quit this habit for ever in your life.  All the best.  You can do it.

  3. you would need to use your will power,

    and try not to do the things or being in places or situation where you smoke.

    take up a hobby, like swimming to relax your mind.

  19. Dear Harry,

    I am 54 years old. I started smoking at the age of 13!

    My cigarette count per day was finally 70.

    Two months ago, I felt a bit uneasy and got myself admitted into the hospital.It was a false alarm.But a blood test showed that my HDL was very low(good cholesterol).This was attributed to my heavy smoking.

    I was advised to at least reduce my smoking, if I could not stop.

    I realized that it is very difficult to reduce the habit.So I just stopped smoking.

    To stop smoking it does not require any tobacco substitute or counseling.  You just need the desire to quit and something to take you mind off that next cigarette.If you can succeed doing this for 24 hours, you have won the battle of your life.

    In my case, I took two days leave and stayed at home.Every time I had a craving for a puff, I climbed into bed and went to sleep.While asleep you don't need a cigarette.Right?

    When I woke up, if I felt like a smoke again, it was back to bed and another nap.

    By evening the craving had come down dramatically.

    The next day I woke up as a new person, since I did not miss the cigarette at all! Just that first day was all it took, and I have been 'clean' ever since!

    Several times, people  have blown  puffs of smoke into my face, I have not felt any fresh craving for a cigarette.

    I now personally know one thing. Nicotine was not addictive, tobacco was not addictive.

    It was only that habit of putting that cigarette in my mouth, lighting it up and puffing away, that was addictive.

    So, if at 54, after  more than 40 years, I can do it so easily, for a young guy like you who is only 20, it should not be a problem at all.

    Quit while you can.Do not try to reduce, just quit.

    Good Luck.


  20. First of all, congratulations on thinking of getting rid of the habit.  Good Luck.  May you succeed.

    Do not try it to give it up at once.  U can try chewing gum, candy or divert your mind to something else and kick the habit.

  21. I used to smoke. I smoked for many years. I quit. It's been 15 years since I smoked. The trick of it is,you have to have the proper mindset to do so. You have to really really want to do it.

    I know several people that used the patch & it helped them to quit. They said that it made the urge to smoke go away. I myself,quit cold turkey.  I hope you can find it within your self to quit.

    if for no other reason,cigarettes are really expensive!

  22. Use some alternative such as chewing gum nd remember, "It totally depends on u" Drink for water Use to chewing gum & Mind upset time read for your concentration likely book or Newspaper.

    god bless u

  26. Here are 12 techniques that will help you quit the habit.

    Remember - you can do it!

    1. Deep Breathing Perhaps The Single Most Powerful And Important Technique: Every time you want a cigarette, do the following. Do it three times.

    Inhale the deepest lung-full of air you can, and then, very slowly, exhale. Purse your lips so that the air must come out slowly. As you exhale, close your eyes, and let your chin gradually sink over onto your chest. Visualize all the tension leaving your body, slowly draining out of your fingers and toes, just flowing on out.

    This is a variation of a yoga technique and is very relaxing. If you practice this, you'll be able to use it for any future stressful situation you find yourself in. And it will be your greatest weapon during the strong cravings sure to assault you over the first few days.

    2. Taking In Fluids:

    The first few days, drink LOTS of water and fluids to help flush out the nicotine and other poisons from your body.

    Remember that the urge to smoke only lasts a few minutes, and will then pass. The urges gradually become farther and farther apart as the days go by.

    3. Stay Away From Alcohol, Sugar And Coffee

    Do your very best to stay away from alcohol, sugar and coffee the first week or longer, as these tend to stimulate the desire for a cigarette. Avoid fatty foods, as your metabolism will slow down a bit without the nicotine, and you may gain weight even if you eat the same amount as before quitting. So discipline about diet is extra important now. No one ever said acquiring new habits would be easy!

    Nibble on low calorie foods like celery, apples and carrots. Chew gum or suck on cinnamon sticks.

    Stretch out your meals; eat slowly and wait a bit between bites.

    After dinner, instead of a cigarette, treat yourself to a cup of mint tea or a peppermint candy.

    4.Taking An Oral Substitute

    In one study, about 25% of quitters found that an oral substitute was invaluable. Another 25% didn't like the idea at all - they wanted a clean break with cigarettes. The rest weren't certain.

    One can use cinnamon sticks, chewing gum or artificial cigarettes as a substitute. You will mostly find that after the first week of being a non smoker, you wouldn’t even need these.

    5. Get Exercising

    Go to a gym, sit in the steam, exercise. Change your normal routine – take time to walk or even jog around the block or in the local park.

    6.Pamper Yourself

    Go ahead and join a yoga class or maybe reiki – they're great! Get a one hour massage, take a long bath - pamper yourself. Get yourself involved in a hobby.

    7. Ask For Support

    Ask for support from co-workers, friends and family members. Ask for their tolerance. Let them know you're quitting, and that you might be edgy or grumpy for a few days. If you don't ask for support, you certainly won't get any. If you do, you'll be surprised how much it can help. Take a chance - try it and see!

    Ask friends and family members not to smoke in your presence. Don't be afraid to ask. This is more important than you may realize.

    8. Destroy All Your Cigarettes

    On your quit day, hide all ashtrays and destroy all your cigarettes, preferably with water, so no part of them is smokeable.

    9. Write It Down

    Write down ten good things about being a nonsmoker - and then write out ten bad things about smoking. Do it. It really helps.

    10. Don’t Pretend

    Don't pretend smoking wasn't enjoyable – it was. This is like losing a good friend – and it's okay to grieve the loss. Feel that grief, don't worry, it's okay. Feel, and you heal. Stay with it - you can do it!

    11. Affirm Yourself

    Several times a day, quietly repeat to yourself the affirmation, "I am a nonsmoker." Many quitters see themselves as smokers who are just not smoking for the moment. They have a self-image as smokers who still want a cigarette.

    Silently repeating the affirmation "I am a nonsmoker" will help you change your view of yourself, and, even if it may seem silly to you, this is actually useful. Use it!

    12. Holding Out

    Here is perhaps the most valuable information among these points. In Phase 2, the period which begins a few weeks after quitting, the urges to smoke will subside considerably.

    However, it's vital to understand that from time to time, you will still be suddenly overwhelmed with a desire for "just one cigarette." This will happen unexpectedly, during moments of stress, whether negative stress or positive (at a party, or on vacation). If you are unprepared to resist, succumbing to that "one cigarette" will lead you directly back to smoking.

    Remember the following secret: in these surprise attacks during Phase 2 - and they will definitely come - do your deep breathing, and hold on for five minutes, and the urge will pass.


  27. I was a smoker too.

    I just couldn't be bothered to buy it anymore. i made a decision and it helped.

    U know everything is by decision, I believe a 20 years old can make a good decision. One thing i know is that it has a lot of effects in the fuutre and you wouln't want that. So quit straight away.

  28. Here are few tips.

    1.Try to drink milk as many times as possible ina day regularly, it keeps you away from smoking.

    2.quit  from your friends before they start smoking infront you.

  29. Dear Friend, Quit smoking, it is really bad for health, the lungs get black smoke and it also destroys the whole family's health, so give it up, just promise yourself, never smoke. I am an invisible friend, will you accept my advice, will you give me that honour.
