Stop smoking products

I have tried all, but not recently.  Is there one that has been successful for most?

I may just have to steal that!   Mandolinrain‌  And am putting it in https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/message/30685-quick-quips

I use patches the first couple times and Chanticleers this last time. The chantix helped this last time but I think one of the best things I did was change habits. Before my quit day I had changed my daily smoking routine around and identified triggers, tremendous help

Thank all of you for your input.  I am trying to take it all in.  I did get Allen's book and am about half way through it.  All hints welcome!

Have you set a quit date yet?

[JKM5849]

Yes, May 16

Perfect timing to prepare and learn all you can! I'm happy for you!

I unsubscribed temporarily because of the emails.  I wasn't able to adjust it.  May 16.

If you're email account is overloaded with emails from this community, you can adjust it under preferences on your profile page (click on your avatar and scroll down to preferences). You can choose to just get all emails from your inbox, or a synopsis of the day, or none at all. I had to change mine, cause the volume of emails was too much.

Looking forward to your quit date of May 16th!

I know there's a lot to take in, but just worry about the preparation for now, getting yourself in a positive frame of mind, making sure you know what your triggers are and what you'll do to handle them, making sure you have a good list of reasons why you want to quit (that you keep with you), and that you've got your support lined up (you already know we are here for you!)

The best stop smoking products are education about nicotine addiction, planning what you will do instead of smoking, recognizing that smoking does nothing FOR you but it sure does a lot TO you, committing to staying smoke free no matter what, and the support of the people on this site.  

Everything you need is here.  Quitting smoking is a journey and not an event and it keeps going for as long as YOU do!
