Have you ever tried to stop smoking in the past? What helped you? What caused you to go back? Why did you want to stop? What do you love about smoking? the smell in your clothes, or on your hands, which one?
My daughter used to tell me...you are going to die... I would be like "them damn commercials" oh well...have one of your kids ever said that to you and how did you handle the that?

The Road To Becoming Nicotine-Free - Dealing With Withdrawal
The Road To Becoming Nicotine-Free - Dealing With Withdrawal
By Daniel Dimarco
Everyone that's attempted to quit smoking or seriously considered stopping, has faced the same problem.
Withdrawal.
Depending on who you talk to, the withdrawal symptoms can go from severe to excruciating. The reality is, however, very different. If you have armed yourself with a good system, and you are determined in your decision to become nicotine-free, the withdrawal symptoms you'll experience will be few and far between, and much easier to ignore than you would have though.
Think about it for a minute.
When you go to sleep every night, you sleep for 6-8 hours, right? And the great majority of smokers don't wake up in the middle of the night to smoke. I know that some do, but they are the exception rather than the rule.
How is it, then, that during the day, when you are awake and alert, you can barely go a single hour without a cigarette, or at least without the apparent desire to smoke one? It seems to me that there must be some other factor at play.
After all, the withdrawal symptoms that you must be experiencing during the night are not even severe enough to wake you up!
It is when you are awake that you mind plays tricks on you, and convinces you that you must smoke. It has been ingrained in your head your whole life that quitting smoking is difficult and the temptation to smoke well-nigh irresistible.
Nicotine is a very fast-acting drug, and as such, also disappears from your body very quickly. In fact, after not smoking for three weeks, there is not a single molecule of nicotine left in your body! The greater part of the cravings and withdrawals symptoms are nothing more than creations of your mind, however convincing, and can therefore be banished by it.
The key ingredients to becoming nicotine-free are a good method -- whichever you are most comfortable with -- and determination to stick to your decisions.

Quit Smoking Without Gaining Weight
By Julio J. Cancel
Quitting smoking without gaining weight can be a miserable stressful experience because of the nicotine withdrawals. Here you will find about cancer and natural health products I took and still take to detox after quitting smoking the nicotine from my system along with nicotine replacement therapy nicotine gum, nicotine patch, and no nicotine therapy, no nicotine herbal patch to quit smoking. Some of many chemical agents and carcinogens that are in cigarettes and cigarette smoke.
People who are smoking are aware of the harmfulness without love for themselves or humanity, quit smoking when diagnosed with severe sickness from smoking in hopes of gaining extra days to spend with there family. You will quit smoking when your doctor tells you that you are going to die. My father quit smoking after he was told he had a month to live. He took better care of himself gaining 7 extra years. He lost weight and fought every day for a breath. And without his youngest son by his side passed away, he had arrived the following day.
I quit smoking without gaining weight so can you. I could not quit smoking until I saw how much weight my father lost and eventually he lost the battle and past away. Mental commitment to quit smoking is the key to quitting cold turkey without other harmful chemicals or strange hypnosis. Combine mental commitment along with natural health products and nicotine replacement and no nicotine therapy you better your chances of quitting smoking. One of many excuses smokers use to putting off smoking is I will gain weight if I quit smoking, without even cutting back on there puffing. Quitting smoking does not mean you will gain weight its all in your head. When you smoke your blood circulation increases and when that occurs you burn calories.
Exercise when you get cravings to smoke this increases your blood circulation and burns calories. Don't numb your cravings by eating. Exercise when you quit smoking and you will not gain weight. To quit smoking without gaining weight is one thing but what about the fact that nicotine is so addictive; more addictive than cocaine heroin and other drugs. And that is why your body is always wanting more and more.
''Quit smoking without gaining weight'' No!!! quit smoking so you could breath better, and your family does not get respiratory problems or cancer. '' Quit smoking without gaining weight '' What about quitting because of the pesticide (Nicotine), formaldehyde and other lethal chemicals added to the tobacco which make it even more addictive and deadlier than nicotine alone. Here are 12 of 599 government approved toxins added to cigarettes; Turpentine, PropyleneGlycol, Lead, Formaldehyde, Cadmium, Benzoapyrene, Butane , Benzene , Ammonia , Arsenic, acetone, and Zyklon B, (also called hydrocyanidic acid).
Quit Smoking Without Gaining Weight and Carbon monoxide, nicotine and toxin levels in your bloodstream will return to normal levels. You will breath easier, food will taste better and you won't smell like nicotine and smoke. Also cutting back the risks of cancer and heart disease.
'' Quit smoking without gaining weight '' quit smoking because you identify with the fact that its not a habit its an addiction and sickness. And that is why you smoke not because your bored or you need to fit in or look cool and cope with stress.This is all subconsciously in your mind. What you are doing is really subsiding the crave for nicotine and government approved toxins by smoking a cigarette.
'' Quit smoking without gaining weight '' this is not why smoking was banned in enclosed work and public places or with children in the car. Quit to stay alive and healthy, life is too short.

Obama Says He's Quit Smoking
Obama Says He's Quit Smoking
1 day ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Barack Obama said he has successfully quit smoking cigarettes despite the pressures of a closely contested and lengthy presidential campaign.
"I've been chewing on this Nicorette, which tastes like you're chewing on ground pepper — but it does help," the Democratic candidate said in an interview that aired Thursday on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
His wife, Michelle, had used his smoking as leverage when the two were discussing whether he should run for president. She would agree only if Obama agreed to give up smoking.
"I had been sneaking three cigarettes, four cigarettes a day for a while, and she said if you're going to do this you've got to stop — precisely because the stress was going to increase, and it'll just get worse," Obama said. "So that's an example of my wife making me a better man once again."
The Illinois senator told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres that dancing on her show had helped him win voters.
"I just want to say that we were kind of in a slump until I was dancing on the show," he joked, referring to his appearance on her show last fall. "My poll numbers skyrocketed after that. Everybody saw me bust a move on Ellen — that's all it took."
On Monday, DeGeneres showed up by satellite at a fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton on the campus of George Washington University in the District of Columbia.
DeGeneres told Obama that she and many other voters find the two Democratic candidates appealing.
"I really like you. I really like Hillary. And I think a lot of people feel the same way," she said. "Why vote for you?"
Obama said he can unite the country.
"I think I have a better chance at getting Democrats and independents and Republicans to come together and put aside some partisan bickering that has been going on for a long time now that the Clintons were involved in," he said.
