The lack of a best way to stop smoking does not mean that there are not plenty of ways to help you quit. People have described each one of the “tricks” below as their best way to stop smoking. Read what they say:

Julie, 25: “I am 25 and I have been smoking since I was 16. Until last year when I quit. It all started like a game but one day I realized that I have increased the number of cigars I smoke per day to up to a pack. This fact somehow scared me and I decided to quit. It was not easy so I though what will be the best way for me? I came up with a list with all the reasons why I should stop smoking. As you can imagine the list was long and terrifying. Each time I was dying for a cigar I just read the list. This turned to be the best way to stop smoking for me.”

John, 47: “I am an ex-smoker since 2 years, 3 months and 3 weeks. I have been smoking during all of my reasonable life. The best way to stop smoking for me was to use some medication that helped me overcome the nicotine addiction I have had.”

Joshua, 32: “I stop smoking 3 months ago and still I have my moments of desperation when my mind is just crying for a cigar. The support I receive from my friends and the ex-smokers discussion group I am attending is what is helping me to cope with this. The best way to stop smoking for me is to just stop and get as much support from other people in my situation as possible”

Nicole, 39: “The best way to stop smoking for me was changing my whole behavior. I have tried several times, unsuccessfully. The last time when I decided to stop smoking I sat down and made a realistic assessment what it will cost me. I realized that if I want to quit I have to change all my routines that included smoking. This was not only helped me leave this dangerous habit behind, but actually brought me a much better, interesting and healthy life”

Helena, 45: “To stop smoking I used a non standard way - acupuncture and yoga classes. As I was interested in such things whole my life I decided that this will be the best way for me to stop smoking.”

Initially, when you stop smoking, you’ll probably be preoccupied with just not giving up the idea of giving up and running down to your local shop for a packet of cigarettes. Next comes the phase where giving up has lost its novelty value and you’re getting really fed up.

Unfortunately, one of the problems of giving up is what to do with your hands when you’re not actually using them for something useful. You may be tempted to chew your nails - don’t do it - that’s another habit that’s hard to kick; you may be tempted to eat - more on that later; you could carry Arab “fiddle beads” with you, but the most constructive thing you can do is take up a hobby.

If you feel at a loss without something in your hands, why not put them to good use. There are plenty of hobbies which require both dextrous hands and serious concentration, both of which will take your mind off not having a cigarette. If you want something to do while watching TV, there are jigsaws, crochet and knitting or sewing, none of which will interfere with your viewing pleasure. If you like to sit in front of the television but don’t really watch it, why not try crossword or other puzzles or the latest craze Sudoku? That will really keep you occupied for hours.

Better still, don’t watch TV, it’s probably a bit too close to the kitchen, so try something that will take you into the garden, or the garage, or away from the house altogether. There’s an endless list of things you could do such as woodwork, metalwork, sketching and painting, fishing and a variety of other sports.

If you’re using one or several of the nicotine alternatives but you’re still tempted to eat as a substitute for smoking, try to choose something healthy. Keep carrot or celery sticks in the fridge with some cottage cheese. Have low fat, low sugar biscuits in the tin, or nibble on cheese (but only in moderation). If that doesn’t work, try to split up your normal food intake into several smaller meals, so that you have something to look forward to more often during the day. In any event, the majority of people trying to give up smoking put on a little weight. Some attribute it to decreased metabolic rate and some just to over-eating, but either way, don’t worry too much about it at this stage, unless you experience significant weight gain. Of course another counter-measure is to take more exercise - go for a brisk walk or visit the gym.

Finally, you make have a cough for up to three months. This will probably make you wonder why you bothered to quit smoking in the first place, but be patient, it’s just the body’s way of clearing out all the impurities including tar, that you’ve stored in your lungs over all those years of puffing away.

That’s the bad news, but in our next article will come the good.
