Quit Smoking

try chantix

I tried the patch for like 4 times already, my mom quit with the nicorette gum so im going to try that next

I wonder if he actually wants to quit? If he's unwilling to try most things, then he might be hedging against the idea altogether. As an ex-smoker, I know that you can't quit until you are good and ready. That said, keep encouraging him to quit. Whether or not he wants to now, he will in time and he'll need to know you're there to support him. What I did when my time came was take away a cigarette every day (first day, take one away so you have 12 and then the next day take another so you have 11 for that day and continue on) until, after about 13 days, I was left with none. I had to quit because I wasn't going to allow myself any more. It's tough but it can be done with only suckers (and a horrid mood) to aid in quitting! I'd suggest adding a work-out regimen, as quitting often comes with weight gain and the endorphins might improve his mood.

Where There's Smoke There?s a Program. There is a twelve step program for everything. I heard there is even a Surfers Anonymous for people who just cant get out of the water. Nicotine Anonymous has worked for a lot of my friends, many of them with nary a patch, gum or chaw. Find one in your area with this link: http://www.nicotine-anonymous.org/meetings.php There s even a program for people like myself who just can t stop talking (or blogging.) Its called On Anon. And on. And on.

Smoke-free. Here's a CDC-sponsored website that apparently teaches people how to quit smoking and talks about withdrawal, sticking to the habit, etc.: http://www.smokefree.gov/ I don't have an answer for you that's concrete, since most of the people I know have quit cold turkey, but others have sworn by Nicotine Replacement Therapy. However, changing your behavior and getting support for it are also imperative to quitting smoking. Other people I knew told me that going to the gym regularly helped them kick the habit, also.
