Okay, I'm a smoker(of cigarettes)...Have been on and off for the best three, almost four, years. I'm trying quit mostly because I'm really tired of having to ask people to buy smokes for me(underage, place usually cards) and I don't have the money for smokes. So it should be easy right? Wrong! I feel keyed up all the time now, in my in between smoking times I usually revert to some even less favorable habits(cutting, throwing up) only I can't do those anymore because people get so mad at me when they find out and then I get sent to a crazy hospital. Does anyone have any tips for quitting smoking? My best friend, also a poster on here, quit and has been free for almost two or three months now...She said just stop...Not exactly helpful. If anyone knows anything, please help!

I read somewhere to wear a rubber band around your wrist and to snap it everytime you want a cigarette. Soon, you will begin associating the pain you feel from the snap to the craving for a cigarette. I don't know if it would work for smoking, but you could try it.

If I think of something else, I will let you know.

I do the rubber band for cutting. It does help. And I use it for my panic attacks. I'm sure it will help for smoking. Smoking is hard to get out of, trust me.

Good luck.

I don't think the effects will happen overnight. It takes some time. Just hang in there.
