If you’re interested in learning how to quit smoking for good, then this article will show you several of the most popular and successful methods that have helped other people to give up smoking.

One of the most common ways to stop smoking is to gradually reduce your nicotine intake. This is most easily done by chewing nicotine gum. This gum releases nicotine into your system gradually while you’re chewing. This helps to reduce cravings for a cigarette, and over time you will have less and less cravings until you eventually don’t need the gum any more.

Many times the decision to quit smoking is made in haste, usually fueled by anger or frustration. How many people angrily or disgustedly crush a pack of cigarettes in their hands and throw the pack out a window? It is an impulse and many times the person is stops to buy more cigarettes when the reality of the situation sets in.

A lot can be accomplished with anger or the energy built up over time with the frustration of living with a tobacco addiction. It’s okay to be angry and to vent your frustration. We don’t need to go into the many ways tobacco companies lied and manipulated for years, it is sufficient to say many smokers are justified in their anger.

I had just come off the squash court the other day after playing a robust and extremely energetic game. I usually play twice a week with my friend. He had just returned after two weeks holiday and it was his first game back for about three weeks.

His energy levels seemed to be somewhat depleted. Was it due to the fact he had been on holiday? I remembered he had quit smoking about four months earlier. When he was smoking I noticed his energy level fell off considerably at about the half hour mark. So I asked him “Have you been smoking on holiday?” The answer as you can probably guess was yes.

I remember as a kid, I would watch my mother smoke. This boggled me since we were learning how bad cigarettes were in school and my own mother was doing the very thing that we were told would eventually kill her. The concept of addiction was something that my young mind was not able to grasp. It didn’t seem realistic that someone would need to be defendant on something like a cigarette. Well, I decided to prove everyone wrong. At the young age of 16 (coincidentally, the age I started to make my own money), I made the conscious decision to start smoking just to disprove the concept of addiction. Well, guess what happened. Yup, you guessed it. I got addicted. Young, stupid teenager…
