Here are some ideas:: 1. Allen Carr's Stop Smoking book - find it on Amazon. 2. Consider medications: like nicotine gum or patches available without prescription. 3. Talk to your doctor about prescription meds to help you (bupropion or Chantix). 4. Bribe yourself by setting up an award system with the money you save on cigarettes. 5. Don't give up. Sometimes it takes a few tries - worth it! LGromkoMD

Therapy and meds: The most effective treatment is to enroll in a program that provides counseling, brief therapy and pharmacological treatment with meds such as bupropion, Chantix or a transdermal nicotine patch. Other methods include hypnosis which may help some individuals.

Not one "best" way: Actually, the largest number of people who have stopped smoking are those who do it completely on their own without any formal help, but those folks are also likely not the most highly "addicted" smokers. If you look at people seeking help, the highest "quit" rates (about 40%) are in those who use Chantix (varenicline) together with a formal cessation program. Nicotine replacement also works well

Quitting smoking: is not easy, but you can do it. Talking with your provider about your physical and emotional concerns can help you find the best way for you to quit.

Everyone is: different but setting target date to stop and then stopping completely on that day can be effective. Learning some self-hypnosis can support this plan of action. Chewing gum or eating mints is useful, especially at high risk times like coffee breaks. Peace and good health. Clinical hypnosis and self-hypnosis training can also be helpful.
