Going Cold Turkey and Other Ways to Kick The Habit

After my smoking blog earlier in the week I heard from people who have kicked the habit. I thought you might be interested in reading their comments and suggestions.

Go cold turkey. Just stop lighting up.
Don't put pressure on yourself to quit. Just try to go one day without cigarettes.
Tired of coughing, "I stared at the cigarette, crushed it, and never looked back."
Try hypnotherapy
Try acupuncture
Use the nicotine patch. It helps with the cravings.

Other suggestions include quitting with a friend, doing stress management, finding a replacement activity when you get an urge to smoke. Please remember, I'm not a doctor. I'm just relaying suggestions from people who used to smoke and feel better now that they don't.

The American Cancer Society's website has a lot of good information that can help you break the habit.

.Good luck! You can do it!
