What's the fastest most effective way to stop smoking cigarettes?

$: Look at the price of a pack of cigarettes, multiply it by 365.....Then think about what you can do with the money instead of having it go up in smoke!

use best treatments: Fastest = use best options.There's 3 types of proven treatment to increase chances of quitting. Use the best! one is free coaching -- they never nag - 800-auit-now and http://www.Smokefree.Gov/ nicotine replacement meds include patch, gum and lozenge. These are over-the-counter; some insurance pays for them. Prescription-only meds are bupropion and varenicline. Best treatment =coaching + meds.

Cold turkey.: As far as quitting without any nicotine replacement, the cold turkey method is great. But plan it ahead of time. Pick a quit date in advance, maybe a meaningful date like a birthday or holiday, and gather people who are aware of your attempt that you can call upon for moral support if you start to falter. Good luck!!
