The most popular ways used to quit smoking and not in any particular
order are:
1. Willpower-
This is probably the most used ways
for stopping smoking and one that does work. Actually a certain amount
of willpower will be required no matter what method of quitting smoking
you use.
Unfortunately willpower kind of
suggests a fight and suggests that if you are strong minded you will
succeed and that if you fail you are weak minded. The description
willpower is not helpful as far as stopping smoking is concerned because
of the perceived battle that the word suggests.
A better word
would be 'decision'. Just make your decision and then that can be that.
But make it a final decision and not some half-hearted attempt and then
you can quit successfully.
2. Cutting down-
This involves
willpower with the idea of feedback that you are succeeding plus knowing
that you are gradually weaning yourself off any perceived chemical
dependency of cigarettes. In theory it sounds great because if each day
you smoke one less cigarette you know you are getting closer to stopping.
Unfortunately
in order to know how many cigarettes you are smoking you have to count
them and then know at any particular moment of the day how many you have
had and how many more you can have.
This method means that you
have to think about smoking much more than if you were smoking freely.
If something is on your mind more often, then it can make it harder to
stop it. If you really want to succeed with using the cutting down
method, do not get into counting each cigarette.
3. Patches, gum
and lozenges-
These methods still give you
nicotine. The idea is that it helps with any withdrawal symptoms you may
ordinarily put down to stopping smoking. It is an odd sort of logic in
that patches, gum and lozenges still give you nicotine as a way of
helping you to stop taking nicotine via cigarettes.
Also as long
as you chew gum, suck lozenges or have to wear a patch it constantly
reminds you of smoking. A constant reminder is not a useful method to
use to help stop doing something.
4. False cigarette-
This is
a substitute for the action and behavior of smoking but without the
intake of all the chemicals involved.
It helps those who would
ordinarily miss doing something with the hands, or those who would feel
less confident with having nothing in their hands.
