A member asked:
Im a asthmatic what are the best ways quit smoking cold turkey! so far 1 day good. any suggestions on what 2 do to help cravings besides using patch?

Try this: Every time you have the urge to smoke, give yourself a 2-3 minute break. Usually the urge goes away by then. There are also drugs such as Chantix that can help reduce that urge. You need a prescription for that so you need to see your doctor to get a prescription.
