What have you used in order to stop smoking that actually worked? Is there such a thing as a REAL product that works?

    well my parents tried everything last year andfinally stopped with the smoking pill but it tends to send people mad so it wouldnt advise it. The inhalor works quite good though

    Patches do help as well as some mild anti-depressents. But the biggest help is determination. You will stop someday let it be today.

    I’ve had very good luck with Chantix. They have and excellent support system on line, and the product itself has mild side effects.
    No product will work without some modicum of will power though.

    Well first and foremost I would never have been able to quit cold-turkey. Kudos to those it works for. I smoked 1 1/2-2 packs a day for 24 years and have now been smoke free for 5+ years. I don’t constantly think about it or crave it one bit despite that some ex-smokers say they do. And I’ll never pick the habit up again. Here’s what worked for me:

    The most important thing was that I sincerely wanted to quit. I didn’t do it because I “should” or a doctor told me to. I was so determined that I was going to find a way and failure was not an option. That’s how bad I wanted it. And what encouraged me in the first place was that I sold my house and decided to only smoke outside while it was on the market. I was shocked to realize that that alone cut my habit down to about 1/2 a pack a day without experiencing any nicotine cravings. In other words–most of my smoking was “just because.”

    I used the nicotine patch and zyban–the most effective method at the time was to combine the two. And it worked very well–ALMOST. I didn’t crave the nicotine–the patch & pill took care of that. What I missed was the physical sensation of inhaling the smoke. Since you can’t smoke and continue to wear the patch I took off the patch, bought a pack and continued to smoke for another month while searching for answers.

    I found a tobacco shop that sold non-nicotine herbal cigarettes and bought them. Now in all honesty they tasted rather nasty, but they satisfied that urge to inhale. At the same time I de-sensitized myself to my “triggers,” you know–get in the car light up a cigarette. Fire up the ‘puter light up a cigarette. Finish dinner–smoke for dessert. Every time I thought about lighting up I just told myself I don’t do that any more and gradually the triggers became meaningless to me. I’m convinced that the addiction is at least as much mental as it is physical. And gradually I got away from those stinky herbal ciggies too.

    There are a couple of ways to use the patch and one of them is to just change it every 24 hours. I went through the first box of them and then stepped down to the lower level of nicotine with the next box. One day I was at work and it occured to me that I had forgotten to change my patch. For a split second I felt trapped, but then I thought about it. If I was only just now thinking about it (8 or 9 hours after the fact) then I obviously didn’t need them anymore and I never used one again. Looking back I guess that was the defining moment when I realized I had done it!

    Anyway–I hope you find perhaps some useful info in this answer. I love being a non-smoker! Good luck to you.

    quitting smoking is hard because people smoke for differant reasons and require differant ways of quitting.

    For instance… if you smoke out of anxiety, usually you need a strong medication from your doctor

    the patch works for sme people who smoke because they need the buz from the nicotine

    And some people smoke because they have an oral fixation, which I hear gum helps.

    My husband had tried quitting 4 times since I met him, he’s an anxiety smoker. When I became pregnant, he finally went to the doctor and talked to him about quitting. He perscribed a few pills (Don’t remember what they were called, but your doc would know) he only needed them for a few days and hasn’t smoked in 3 months. I sugest talking to your doctor to figure out WHY you smoke, and he can help you find the right way to quit. Good luck, and props to you for trying to get rid of such an unhealthy habit.
