Quit Smoking Advice


These clips are from the BBC: Horizon documentary series entitled “We Love Cigarettes”. The advice Allen Carr gives is pretty damn good, it convinced me (a 5 year smoker) to quit cold turkey. It has been a couple months now and I’m still going strong. Update: It has been over one year since my last cigarette and I have never been tempted to look back. I really hope this simple advice has helped someone else.

    I also stopped smoking, this man was a genius, his smoking days came at a price though as he still died form Lung Cancer, even more reason to listen to him

    Nothing worse than a smoker thats quit telling you what a bad habit it is….. But here it is… I quit and I now see what they were talking about.
    Take it from me, I feel so proud I quit. Give it your best shot, you wont regret it.

    I hate to break it to you. It is as easy as he said if you read his book. I went overnight from a smoker to being a non-smoker.
    I was skeptical at first with his method, but I went along with it and the next thing I know, I don’t want another cigarette after finishing the book.
    Like you, I thought it was impossible to quit as well until after I read his book.
    If you still have that temptations, maybe you should try reading his book.

    I would like to add that unlike you, my temptation HAD LEFT.. for good…

    I quit smoking after reading his book. Allen Carr did more good to humanity than Benny Hinn and other preachers that ask you for donations so that he/she can buy a new mansion or private jet. Idiot. So quick to judge other people and saying that a good man lied, yeah, you’re living the bible dream.. asshole.

    Fuck no I don’t need no Jesus to stop smoking. People thinking christianity is the only way to live should stfu, because that’s just their opinion. Saying others are wrong because they didn’t/don’t stop smoking through Jesus are biased morons who just found another addiction instead of freeing themselves.
    Please respect other peoples ways to stop smoking madmax – this is called humanity and this is basically the point of the bible and Jesus.

    @kalesteinsegek well yeah, but keep in mind this is cannabis here, thc basically prevents the smoke from doing real damage. =)

  17. kalesteinsegek says:

    inhaling smoke is never good, doesnt matter which kind

  18. julie1300 says:

    @Tom6093 good advice…..also picture someone you love in this world more than anything who wants you to quit smoking….everytime a craving hits imagine their face change from pride to utter disappointment….it’s a fact if you wait out a craving (for anything !) at least 10-20 minutes (distract yourself like CRAZY !!) the craving will pass and you will get through it …..Just like they say in AA & NA it works if you work it !

    this is a very good vid but dng it only gives info about smoking and no really good advice…

  21. HecstasyQ says:

    I haven’t smoked in 1 week and I feel like shit. (Trying to quit)

  22. mmmmmarcus says:

    Maybe a punching bag would help? Like when you just get mad during withdraw?

  23. mmmmmarcus says:

    Here’s an easy way to quit– Smoke joints every time you need a cig. Good for ya, and wont cause cancer.

    A little expensive, but its cheaper than those fucking patches, or the gum. The oral fixation is a big reason why its so hard to quit, the tobacco companies know this. Couple that with the addictive chemicals, and there you have it.

    Its like thumb-sucking, they control you with a primal instinct from your fetal life.

    The newspaper is dated January 20th, 2006. Allen Carr died about 9 months later… It’s a damn shame. How many lives has Allen Carr saved? A lot… millions I think. It’s not fair that he quit smoking, and then died from lung cancer anyways.

  25. BadRonald69 says:

    I finally quit… been 22 days and counting. I used nicotine gum for the first week, and then stopped. NRT works for some people… like me. What about everyone else?
