What is the most successful technique for quitting smoking?
This is a common question most smokers will ask. There are countless of methods offered by the government, smoking cessation experts, professional health organizations of the world and the pharmaceutical industry.
The best method?
The important group of people that you must find and who are already quite credible to you. It's the people in your family and your friends in your real world who have successfully quit smoking and been off all nicotine products for at least one year or longer.
Find out how the people you know who are long-term ex-smokers actually stopped smoking. By long-term I mean people who are currently off all nicotine for at least a year or longer.
"You have tried to quit"
You will see that many of them had previous quits and relapsed, using all sorts of methods that are endorsed by professionals and maybe even a few of them had professional help with previous attempts. You will find that almost all of them did not follow what is considered the standard recommended advice on how to quit yet they did quit and are still going strong.
You'll find that they quit by simply stopping smoking one day for one reason or another and then have been able to stay off by sticking to a commitment that they made to themselves to not take a puff.
Find the Real reason to quit
You must find the real reason for you to quit smoking. Only you will know the answer. Not some smoking cessation experts, gums, sprays from pharmaceutical companies. If your reason to quit smoking is not strong enough, you will easily relapse and go back to "I'm just taking one puff"
How I Quit
I quit smoking when I found my real reason. I have been smoking since I was 14 years old. Back then it was cool to be seen smoking and everyone was curious in their teen years.
But curious turn into habit and I was happily puffing away 30 sticks like there was no tommorrow. Soon I realised that I was smoking for 15 years and I kept falling sick easily. I was seeing my family doctor for at least twice a month. Then one fine day I had enough of falling sick and I determine the cause of my sickness to smoking.
That's when I decided to stop smoking altogether. but there are difficulties ahead...read my upcoming entries...
