Dear lybrate user,
you may need a bit of willpower to stop smoking permanently. You could easily abstain yourself from smoking during the initial 2-3 days.
But after few days of abstaining from smoking you will feel a strong craving to smoke a cigarette whenever you face any tense situation.
Here lies your real test. You will need a lot of willpower to resist that craving & face any tense situation without the help of nicotine. However, you can take homoeopathic mother tincture daphn...more

Okay, if you are not that keen on medications follow this recommendation: You have to quit cold turkey because the body and mind will torture you endlessly while attempting a reduction in smoking. The tobacco tar in cigarette smoke lines your lung with huge patches that make that portion dysfunctional. Your oxygen carrying capacity is jeopardized, and breathing is impinged on. But don’t be discouraged because it is not too late even now to reverse all the ill-effects of smoking. I don’t know wha...more

You can meet with a doctor who will prescribe medications to help you with the craving and to reduce the withdrawal symptoms. To quit do the following: When quitting, you must take one day at a time.

You must focus on the here and now, on that day to be precise. After all quitting is not that easy due to many factors. So eve...more

But your desire to want to stop is the most important factor. It is important to find out about the ill-effects of smoking to have a reason that alarms you about c...more

Congratulations that you want to quit smoking and chewing tobacco. Tobacco consumption, either through smoke or other edible forms, is always harmful. The desire to quit is a good starting point. The best way to quit is to know more about the ill-effects of tobacco. The knowledge is astounding and scary. That information itself should help you to want to quit.
