That's what I have heard from the radio this morning
First thing that came to my mind was to find a hypnotist
to help me quit smoking. :) What do you guys think?

Pls help....and how much to be able to hire a hypnotist?

Hypnotist? Please buddy, just use some good old fashioned willpower.

I was a 2 pack a day smoker for 10 years and quit cold turkey. Not saying its easy, but its defintely do-able.

Good luck! :)

Bah, smoking sucks.. anyone who smokes is lame, in fact they should just die. Wait.. wait.. lemme put out my cigarette first.

In all seriousness, i've tried alot of things to quit smoking. Wellbutrin/Zyban, patch, gum, cold turkey, alcohol, crack, heroin.. none of it worked. Anyone else have a suggestion?






P.S, Ok, ok.. I really didn't do the last three... well.. two.

Good - the higher cigarette taxes the less people smoke. It's a fact and they should keep jacking up taxes.

Is it really a fact?

I asked a guy for a ciggarette in a bar the other day and he handed me a pack of papers and a can of tobacco. Pretty funny.

You didn't mention Hypnotism.

My Dad went through Hypno-therapy 26 years ago and it worked.

I know that in nova scotia when they raised cig taxes there was a huge decrease in the number of teenage smokers. If a pack costs $50 it's going to result in a lot less 16 year olds smoking!

just think raised prices = more tax dollars and less spent on health care for the idiots that smoke... I kow everyone has the right to health care but when something like this is self inflicted maybe they shouldnt...

Hey wait...this might work out good. The US could get all their prescription drugs cheap from Canada, and we in turn could provide cheap cigs to them. :D

Here's a surefire way to quit smoking.

Go cold turkey, but allow yourself to cheat when you need to. Only caveat is, everytime you do, you only smoke a single cigarette then throw away the rest of the pack. This will allow you to really gauge how much you need that smoke.

Sure, it can be expensive, but i doubt you'll smoke more than 1 or 2 a day, and it won't last longer than a couple of weeks.

That's an awesome way. I had a fellow who lived on my floor freshman year who chewed. He realized his chewing was a problem when he'd hit his lip until it bled so he could get a fix. He would take dip as needed, but would throw the rest of it out the window.

After $100 spent on dip in a week...he stopped forever (at least for 5 years).

i know you can go cold turkey or chop both your hands off..this and that
but they seem to be hard..because cigarettes are too easy to get

just wondering trying the hypnotist maybe a easier? :)
