Conside Natural Techniques

1. "Cutting down" is of questionable usefulness, as it is usually just a way of putting off quitting for real. However, some people do use it systematically as a way of preparing themselves to quit by some other method. It's just difficult to do so without some kind of plan and the resolve to stick to it.
   
   An electronic device marketed under the name "Life Sign" provides just such a plan and helps you to follow it. It is like a pager that you carry around with you at all times. For the first week or so, you just carry the device and smoke normally, pressing a button to inform it whenever you smoke. Then it gets used to your smoking habits and, when you want to start cutting down, begins to tell you when to smoke by beeping at you. It gradually cuts down the amount you smoke. It is also purported to break the psychological addiction by removing your usual cues for smoking and replacing them entirely with beeping. It is simple conditioning based on the idea that when the thing stops beeping, you won't feel as inclined to smoke.
   
   Quitting "cold turkey" is extremely difficult, especially for the seasoned smoker. But for some people it is possible. The following tips should help defeat the nicotine addiction:
   
   Smoke until your last day of work or school and begin quitting on the weekend (or whatever days you have off).
   Indulge in other things you like, to the point of foolishness if you feel like it, during the first few days.
   Avoid any place where people will be smoking.
   Have something to do with your hands and your mouth. If you like chewing gum, chew it; if you like ripping apart action figures, do so.
   Remember that you're one cigarette away from failure.
