How to quite smoking?

Oh man, there are also those fancy electric cigs now that are actually cheaper than buying real cigs.
If you REALLY want to stop smoking, get something more like little cigars and less like cigs. It will have nicotine, but you will have to subject yourself to awfulness to get it. When i was still smoking almost a pack a day, I had to buy these cigarillo things one time cuz i didn't have enough money for cigs that day. I seriously spent the whole week on that one pack and cut back on my smoking considerably without even trying to. The shitty cigs trick really works.

Well it depends on how addicted you are. Some people say they are addicted, but they only been smoking for like a year. I say go with patches or a pill. Maybe you can see a doctor. I'm going to start with the patches. I've always enjoyed smoking so that's why it's so difficult for me to stop. I've tryed some of the things AVC said. Like not buying cigs or playing cod4 instead. P.S any smoke you inhale is unhealthy so don't buy cigars and those electric cigs. That's just getting rid of one bad habbit and replacing it with another.
getting the elctric cigs is not inhaling smoke, part of the addiction is in the action. You get pleasure from feeding your addiction, the act of doing so gets associated with the act of feeding your addiction. Thus, the act of inhaling smoke is sometime enough in itself to feed the addiction to a certain point, even if no nicotine is present. Pleasure centers of the brain still become more active. Taking away the smoking aspect of the addiction will most likely reduce the activity of the pleasure center due to the act alone, thus breaking part of the habit. Making this a new habit it a bad idea, but a big first step is simply to break from the habit, to throw things off, to make yourself vulnerable.
This is why switching to a shitty brand helps. You don't WANT to smoke that brand or that electric cig. While patches and all that are good, it is more constructive in the long run to actively quit smoking. Doing very obviously things to change your daily routine will make the act of smoking ACTIVE rather than passive. You want to be DOING it, not having it done to you. You will stick with your actions more. It will be a stronger quit. Even if you chew the gum, I bet you will find that you are taking in more nicotine and chewing more gum than recommended (more nicotine than you would have simply by smoking). This is because you aren't participating in the act you have associated with your nicotine delivery system.
The best thing to do is slowly stop the act of smoking, then go to teh gum, then switch it up every once in a while. You don't want to get addicted to the gum or the patch. One thing you can do with the gum, if you become addicted, is to chew half a piece of the nicorette while chewing a full piece of other kinds of gum. The flavor of the nicotine gum will activate the pleasure centers in your brain associated with getting your fix from the nic gum, while you realy aren't feeding your actual nicotine addiction.

Electric Cigs do produce smoke that is inhaled.
It's not smoke, its water vapor with the taste and characteristics of smoke
I quit smoking about 2 years ago real easy. My eldest son came up to me one day and said "dad i want you to stop smoking", when i asked him why he said "because i don't want you to die" I quit there and then. Everybody needs some sort of motivation to quit and that was mine. Prior to stopping i had been on 40 a day for about 22 years, so it can be done, just be prepared to put on weight.
Good luck dude, all the best for trying to quit.

As I said earlier.. I used Chantix..
I took the pill for 2 weeks and smoked. I set a quit date and on that date I actually quit.. I took the chantix for another 2 weeks (they recommend 6-8 weeks) and drank tons of water. Chantix has a great website with a daily tip and some inspirational shit. I quit a 5 pack a day habit in 4 weeks. I have ZERO cravings for a smoke.. I can't stand the smell of them and hate the "after" stench that is on your clothes, etc after someone smokes..

The electric cig's are so expensive it's like 4x the amount i usually spend on cigs a month. Again i can't go to a doctor because they won't and can't prescribe anything since im under 18 it's so stupid. I tried and the doctor said "sorry but if it has nicotine in it i can't prescribe it to you, still underage." Ok well i have a plan set up.
Basically what im doing is starting off at a start point so atm i smoke 4 to 6 cigs a day and every week im going to take one cig away. So in 6 weeks i should be down to one. The way im going to stop myself from breaking the rule is i've handed my smokes off to a buddy who lives across the road and we hang out all the time he said he'd just give me the number i needed before school each day and he'd kick my ass if i went over. I've also determined my self enough to NOT go get another pack and hopefully this long but steady approach will work

Not a bad start. You should also divide the cigs that you're planning on smoking that day in hours. Start telling yourself no cigs for 4-6 hours, etc.
Keep at it, you'll get there.
Like Dude said, doing something else will help you keep your mind out of it.

I don't see how smoking 1 every 4 hours if he plans to smoke 4 a day gonna hurt? Basically, if his plan for the week is 4/day; 16 hours being awake then it's 4 hours per cig. And yes, if you go over the allotted limit, you should punish yourself for it.
