Even if the success rate is only 50%, it depends on your efforts and will power to make it 100% in your case.

So far though I have not seen mention of a very important factor when trying to give up, and that is - Stress. I lost my job last year and am still out of work and trying hard to scratch a living, this insecurity has put me under great pressure, and I suspect many other people too, in consequence I now smoke double what I used to, and I really do not feel I could give up right now, despite knowing the health risks because I feel it would actually have a detrimental effect on me personally knowing that nicotine seems to help me better cope with the effects of stress.

I agree with you that there needs to be a long run. I myself also didn't care abotu statistics when I gave up but that information may have been useful to my wife who was trying to support me. Being a non smoker she probably thought that it was a lot easier than she guessed. Statistics can reinforce that.

I think that it's hard, but for the majority, this is just the way that it is, and so we have to lean their way. I think like the term common sense, usually you can get 20 people and get 10 one way and 10 another and then the next group could be 18-2...so what's common.

I used to watch TV with the inhaler in my mouth for hours. Shortly after a few weeks I went back to smoke regular cigarettes. What worked for me ?, well straight forward cold turkey. One night I ran out of smokes and went to bed that night and the next morning I kept procrastinating in buying a new pack and now is been 4 years thank God.

I crave picking something up, putting it in my mouth, stomping it out. I need to have something to do with my hands and I find myself using cigarettes as “thinking” aids. I am hoping that the newest product out will help me with this. They are called vaporizers, have you heard of them? I am going to try them and even wrote a post about them. if you are as addicted to the act of smoking as I am they my help. I have also started a simple program to help save other lives by helping buy and distribute vaporizers to other smokers that need or want to quit. People on oxygen that still smoke are d-a-n-g-e-r-o-u-s and vaporizers can stop or at least greatly reduce people blowing themselves up while on oxygen. .-= Richard´s last blog ..<a href="http://rwpcs.net/save-your-life-then-save-another-life/">Save Your Life, Then Save Another Life…</a> =-.
