    1. Convince yourself to stop smoking :-) (I know this is the hardest part)
    2. Give your self a date (to stop)
    3. Tell your friends, family, office mates to you will stop smoking on that given date
    4. Don't take any alternative such as candy, it will become a hobbit
    5. Don't rush your self, Ako I planned it for a year :-) but when I stopped I never looked back. Oh by the way I was consuming a pack a day before I stopped smoking :-)

    This is what im afraid off i might consume one pack or worse more than one pack a day, so as early as know i should start it, im not addicted naman sa smoke just puffing when im in stress or pressured.. I just really want to remove as early .. and have a good healthy life again

    between almost 3 or 4 years that im prisoned into this kind of hobbit

    it IS possible to stop smoking. though it might be tempting in the first few months, your body will soon be independent of nicotine. 1 good advice i might suggest is to eat leafy vegetables. it's a good way of getting NADP for your body.(note that when you are smoking, it is also flagged by your body as your source of nicotanimide derivatives)

    PS. i never smoke
    Damn, son! Where'd you find this?

    Ganyan din ako nung nagso-smoke pa ako noon, 2-3 sticks a day lang , basta gusto ko lang yun pagkatapos kumain. Nun nag-quit ako, cold turkey! As in biglang hinto! Mahirap lang yan sa simula, pero after a while, masasanay ka din. Kailangan lang talaga malakas yun conviction mo to quit. Good luck, bro! Kaya mo yan!

    Was smoking a pack a day for 15 years, total of 20 'smoking years' when I decided to stop cold turkey.

    I stopped for two reasons: First. I was tired of having upper respiratory ailments. Second, and the most important. I was inspired by my wife and kids to quit.

    I just quit cold turkey more than a decade ago. Never had cravings. Never looked back. It's all about discipline and will power/

    I smoked since college 2nd year until last year I quit... I smoke minimum 10 sticks a day to 1 pack..

    How I quit, I got sick and was hospitalized for 1 week syempre no smoking for 7 days.. after I got out from hospital I told my self that pwede naman pala di mag smoke ng isang lingo so sinubokan kong e challenge sarili ko to resist smoking.. nung nalaman ng anak ko at asawa natuwa sila ang encourage me more.. until today almost a year na ako nag quit smoking... I think its the determination to quit and help from close family members wife and son...
