i am new to this site, very glad to see so much info on quitting smoking. i need all the help i can get. i live in the states and also have heard of new treatment with magnets for the ear as an aid to quit smoking. i have tried many many treatments to quit smoking, have ever quit smoking for a few years at a time. i made the mistake every time smoking just one cigarette. i want to try hypnotherapy.

My own experience (while I was smoking almost 20 packs (10 in one pack) - age 24 for 10 years)

Self determination

1) Logical thinking to remove Nicotine from blood - I used homeaopathy Nux Vomica 200 dil (3 drops in water) This works for 30-40 days. I could overcome constipation.

2) Slow breathing, deep and releasing slowly - 5 times (whenever I feel for smoking)

3) Postponement of smoking - increasing interval of touching cigarette. Each time I used tell my mind, why not after 5 min.
   I could achieve 5 cigarettes (half pack) a day. Continued this for 1 month.

4) Meanwhile I starting taking Echinacea (tincture) 3 drops in water before taking morning tea. (for one month)

5) Alfalfa tonic (3 drops in fruit juice) every alternate day.

 3 rd week onwards I started getting nausea of cigarette smoking, although I was smoking 5 per day, but interval between 2
 was 1 hour.

5th week onwards I did not feel to smoke, although I was getting pressure from inside - why not one puff.

6th week onwards stopped totally. No more thereafter. I am now 67 yrs.

I haven't been a member of this forum long, but after reading the different suggestions of stopping smoking I will be trying some of them. I have been smoking a pack a day since I was 12 years old and I am 36 now. I did stop once and that was only for 4 months about 2 years ago. I was diagnosed when I was 16 (a very young age) with emphyzemina(I think that is how you spell it) and was told that I needed to quite then, however, I did not. They gave me the medication for the emphzemina and I ended up stop taking it although the doctors told me that I was going to be taken it for the rest of my life the medication was so expensive by the time I turned 18 I could not afford to stay on it. For the last couple of years I have tried everything that I could think of to stop smoking. Except for the 4 months that I did stop smoking. Now I have tried to stop smoking many times since I started back again with no success. I have bought the magnet things that you put in your ear and it didn't work for me except for making my ear so sore that I couldn't touch it for 2 or 3 days.
I would like to tell everyone that posted the different methods that helped them quite smoking thank you for the suggestions I will try them. I want to be able to quite smoking again and this time for good, but I have one problem, my finacee also smokes and he has a tendency of smoking in front of me and when I am in the beginning stages of trying to stop smoking, I tell him not to smoke in front of me he does good for a day or two and that is it and it mess me up.

You cannot always term laser to be useful. It depends on the physicit though. I know some cases who have had very harsh after effects from the laser.

@ Shweta. Will your husband drink medicine? It is homeopathic. But is in liquid form and give 100% results. The desire to smoke dies away.

Hi,

Homeopathic Tabaccum 200C helped me when I quit with the cravings. Still smoke free 1 year now after 20 years worth of smoking and attempting to give up. Take as needed to relieve cravings.
