How I quit smoking

[@ytugtbk]

Congratulations, hope you are still Quit. I quit smoking cold-turkey 7 years ago after a 36-year habit, and have never looked back. Don't even think about it anymore.

[@VenezuelaNow]

I quite smoking by getting pneumonia being bedridden for 11 days, when I got out of my death bed no longer had a craving for the filthy habit, July 1996 haven't touched one since

[@piciulnostru575]

I drank water when I had cravings and tea, that's what worked for me/ Meditations, Allan Carr, and videos on youtube. No patches. I focused on eating healthy and it worked. Everytime you don't give in to cravings : nicotine, sugar you increase your will power

[@piciulnostru575]

I actually had a dream about 2 weeks ago, someone gave me a cigarette and my response was " I don't smoke" . Quite happy :)

[@jodiegg9243]

Me too, 14 years as well. When i gave up my life completely changed. Thanks to Allen Carrs easyway book!

[@sterlingwalter6225]

Thank you so much for sharing your personal experiences with smoking and quitting, it has helped me on my 5th day of Not smoking..... I believe I too will escape that evil weed.!

[@InRajWeTrust]

I absolutely lalalalalove the way you glow with pride... go on and be proud, you deserve it! I have smoked for 18 years and next month will be 6 months without a single puff. Thank you for making such a thorough and thoughtful video!

[@mrsreemarocks]

I never smoked I just like to see people's experience on how they quit

[@stevealharbi5447]

The best way to quit smoking is by using the Cold Turkey method .. And keep in your mind ( Never Take Another Puff ) ..

[@kailai366]

Allen Carr is a genius. I don't exactly know what he did, but I stopped smoking half way through his book. I suffered, of course. But it didn't feel like the withdrawal symptom was impossible to overcome.

[@fitfooduk]

Kai Lai Well done! So many people praise his method!

[@kailai366]

fitfooduk A few days have past, and I've had moments that triggered me. Don't worry, I am not relapsing. However, I now start to have the feeling that life will never be as happy without smoking. How long is this going to last?

[@stringbenderbb]

Kai Lai If you have the book read it again. Carr explains this illusion (...life will never be as happy...) in detail. I relapsed after 6 months: I was not addicted anymore (after a week you realize, you dont think about smoking that often anymore).I relapsed, because, of that illusion. DO NOT RELAPSE!. It.is not worthing it.

[@stringbenderbb]

Dumitru Furculita Agree. It works only once, thats why it is so important, never ever to smoke again, once quitted.

[@poubelle5349]

Kai Lai I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else trying to find out ways to stop smoking naturally try Elumpa Smoke Stopper Alchemist(should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my partner got great success with it.

[@pretzels2011]

I haven't smoked in 2 days! And that says a lot I used to go through 1-2 packs a day. I got tired of chest pains, shprter breath and feelikg of being trapped by the habit. When I feel like a need to smoke I brush my teeth or I do something with my hands like a puzzle or even clean. I cut down on smoking first then when I felt I didnt need a puff every 4 hours I quit just like that. I barely get ceavings and carrot sticks help. Or if u still need a crutch get a non-nicotine ecig. They have them out in stores in different flavors. You can definitely do it! Just go the pace you wanna go.

[@fitfooduk]

Thank you James! Good luck! Best thing I've done for myself, regret that it took me 14 years to do that! But then again it's never too late :)

[@dpruitt1002]

Thanks for the video, I am on day 4 cold turkey and hanging in there fairly well. I have read articles and watched videos to get as much information as possible. I chose the CT quit style due to the 72 hours and nicotine levels are near zero. It has been interesting to say the least...a little edgy, light headed at times and trouble staying focused. But, for now I have not come close to lighting up. I want to encourage anyone thinking of going cold turkey, prepare and go for it. Has it been easy, not really easy...but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Thanks again for the really informative video!!

[@geordiejen]

well im doing well with the quitting,bought one pack of cigs before I smoked my last.still sealed pack and I bought them because I always had a fear of not having any.i haven't given up anything to discourage me from smoking.still have my coffee and a glass of wine or a few beers.when I feel like one I use a Nicorette inhalator.i walk my sons dog every day for a few hours and although I eat a bit more I work it off by going up the hills with the dog.its very strange because im finding it a bit easier this time compared to all the last times ive done it.

[@geordiejen]

ive tried cutting down over the past few weeks,some days I smoked 2 or 3 a day,some days I smoked more.when I think of not having any cigs in the house I feel fear.i feel im having an argument with my own brain at this point.having tea or coffee makes me want to smoke,taking that ciggie makes me feel crap and weak.i am disappointed in myself because I always think I can do it,ive been smoking for over 20 years and I know I need to stop as it will eventually effect my health.

[@BoneThugsN]

since 4years i have quit smoking two times for about 6-7 months . after time passed ull forgot the reasons that determinate u to quit smoke then u want to try it again ... thats hard part of quiting , u must be so strong.the day after the new year i have decided to quit again without a reason,i have just feelt like that , i dont feel any smoke needed ... that becouse im so resolute in my choice . u must want to do these and nothing can stop .after 6 years of interse sport life tigaretes not doing good to me so i wanna let them back you are verry beautiful btw keep me update

[@PenguinFucker86]

im trying to quit smoking and Ive also tried all of the methods you mentioned; the patch, the pill, the electronic smoke, and so on.. my problem is that I know I love to smoke, although I feel so shitty about it at the same. thank you for sharing your story as I have gained some insight to help me on my path towards a healthy lifestyle

[@fitfooduk]

good luck x

[@transmitterrelay11]

One thing I noticed about quitting after 7 days (relapsed) I found out that breathing was really nice, especially in your abdomen. I actually felt my six pack and felt good about it.

[@fitfooduk]

I felt my breathing improved straight away after quitting too! Especially when I was working out, no shortness of breath!

[@ABMultimediaDesigner]

Good for you :) I'm actually 21, and in all fairness, I have never smoked or drunk anything in my life so far. Hell, when I turned 18, I never had a drink or had a cigarette because I didn't like it. My older-idiotic brother tried to get me a drink a pint with him, and I refused to drink it, not because I didn't like the stuff, but because I made a commitment that I would never drink or smoke because it's not worth it. If people want to drink and smoke, that is completely up to them. I'm happy people such as yourself (whoever you are in the video) are quitting smoking (even though its been a year and a half since you quit)

[@fitfooduk]

Ashleybradbury Thank you :) It's been now 2.5 years for me!

[@fitfooduk]

I'm glad I could help a bit :)) I did eat more when I quit, it's natural- you have this habit of putting your hand to your mouth if it makes sense but I opted for healthy snacks like nuts and seeds and I was craving lots of fresh veg maybe my body needed that to help detoxify. I gained almost a stone BUT remember it is only temporary and after few months you go back to your normal weight if you eat good diet and no sugar etc.I had problems sleeping first 2-3 weeks, sweating a lot

[@sharkeyes2004]

Have you guys have tried using Personal Vaporizers (PV's)? Dump $40-50 into an Innokin MVP 2.0 and some delicious 6-8% e-juice. Battery lasts all day, maybe 2-3. Turn it up to 10 Watts and enjoy! I am in my 3rd week with no issues. 2 of my co-workers have quit completely as well (2-3 wks into it with very little withdraw symptoms). We were all 1-2 packs a day, 10-20yrs. Its definitely worth dumping $50-100 and having a solution that has countless people. Find the right flavor e-juice and the correct nicotine content and watch magic happen. Good luck! Note: First 72 hrs are the "toughest" because of the psychological reminders. After that, you will begin to hate the smell of regular cigarettes. Its crazy!!

[@sharonpurnell7316]

W00H00T i have one ...its been 2 days ..nocigs just vape

[@vidfio4602]

www.Whyquit.com is the right place to go to after you quit and stick to that site.

[@MrThumpsupordown]

End of day 6 for me... I have to say I really appreciate your video here. You have cheered me up tonight :) Thank you, and I hope your still off the smokes today.

[@fitfooduk]

Well done and keep strong! It gets easier day by day!

[@fitfooduk]

Hi! Thank you for kind words. I would say, get your diet right first before giving up. Cos I think most people put on weight because initially your metabolism slows down. When you get the diet right then even after quitting when you have cravings, you reach for something healthy. That's what I did, I craved lots o veggies and nuts. I put on 6kgs (1 stone) but after 6 months roughly my body started going back to normal and I started losing weight. Good luck!

[@Aussie1963fe]

Great video, I am thinking about giving up smoking now, thanks..

[@sterlingwalter6225]

+Aussie 66 you have to find a copy of Allen Carr's book (Quitting the Easyway), since he appeals to your intelligence, and completely understands the psychology, working for me 6 days now, so grateful.

[@fitfooduk]

lol thanks for kind words :) And keep my fingers crossed for you too! It gets easier with time!

[@JASERELIJAH1122]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been praying a lot and I am on day 4 now ;0 I was so happy to have watched your inspirational video..You have such a lovely personality and you are stunning btw. God bless sister, and thanks for the words of hope.

[@fitfooduk]

You're welcome! And I will keep fingers crossed for you! That image of me breathing through a whole in my throat scared me SO much that I thought I can't end up like this! It's sometimes good to get scared, it pushes you to make the right decision :)

[@amberlynmarlowe8704]

Ah! You already gave the book title in the link, here~ sorry! And thanks again! Very thoughtful and thorough presentation~ a great help!

[@amberlynmarlowe8704]

This is brilliant~ thank you. That book looks smashing~ what is the title of it again, please? Thanks a million!

[@amberlynmarlowe8704]

Right! You had it there all along~ thanks again! I've quit since I posted that last and just looking at inspiring support such as this to enjoy.

[@Mostafa-rq9rm]

Lol, this blonde is smart. You went the scientific route and I'm happy it worked for you. I'm in midst of Allen Carr's route and feel great. While different methods, we both agree that the brain is the key-- not gum, pouches or other gimmicks.

[@mjt13131]

you still look smokin' to me

[@clarehope05]

Hi! I found your video extremely helpful so thanks so much for making it! I am in the process of quitting right now so i have a few questions to ask you. 1. Did you find that you ate alot more food while you were quitting? 2. Have you gained weight since you've quit? 3. Did you sleep more or were you depressed when you were quitting? 4. Did you experience any constipation? 5. How long did you experience withdrawl symptoms for? 6.Do you look and feel better since you've qui

[@mrlozmoore]

i quit w/ allen carr --- have never looked back. it's so liberating.

[@fitfooduk]

***** I have heard about the book but never got the chance to read it!

[@mrlozmoore]

fitfooduk well if you still crave/not quit/using will power then i suggest the book, or better still -- attend a 1 day session which i did in Wimbledon. it's been 14 months and i can honestly say i find smoking 'disgusting' and do not wish to smoke one bit. no withdrawal, no weight gain, and feel so much better. it's drug addicion plain and simple. g/luck x

[@Straight2HellMetal]

***** hi everyone ,if anyone else is searching for how can i give up smoking tips try Skyarza Amazing Smoker Star(do a google search ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my colleague got amazing results with it.

[@fitfooduk]

Thank you, I can't imagine going back to it!

[@jodo6329]

Your canthal eye tilt is fantastic.

[@fitfooduk]

Jo Do Thanks to you I got to know what a canthal eye tilt is :D Well you learn a new thing every day :)

[@stormzacomming8133]

fitfooduk hey. sooooooo I have quit as well....but. . there's always a but. ...I have fallen off the wagon here and there. Here's the thing. ...my girlfriend is still a smoker and having cigs around are tempting me all the time. It's causing some fights. 😠 it's hard enough to quit but living with someone who still smokes is driving nuts. I'm hoping you have a suggestion.

[@fitfooduk]

I am so sorry about it Andrew! Maybe it's worth trying some natural supplements? Like magnesium, omega 3's, 5HTP or st johns wort or valerian root? They have all calming properties.

[@fitfooduk]

Thank you so much for kind words! i really keep my fingers crossed for all of you who are trying, Just take one day at a time. This was the best advise someone gave me when I quit :) Don't think about how it's gonna be in a month or even 2 weeks, the most important thing is you can tick off another day as a smoke free day :) Take care :)

[@fitfooduk]

Will keep fingers crossed for you! Good luck!!

[@essen00cat]

Iv stopped for a year , well done to you also .

[@fitfooduk]

:)) I'm actually Polish living in London :D

[@ibrahimsalah570]

One year since this Video, I'm quitting these days, but I use Champix, you scare me to say that it has side effects, should i stop it? thanks for the great video it encourages me, by coincidence I start only yesterday , 5th Feb 2014, the way of quitting cigarettes, i would like to have the link for that forum you mentioned about...

[@fitfooduk]

It's 2 years today for me!!! Here's the link for the forum! www.nosmokingforum.co.uk/ It helped me a lot!! With champix I wouldn't advise it but it's everyones personal choice. I keep fingers crossed for you! Good luck! You can do it!! :)

[@ibrahimsalah570]

Thank you, I will consider your advice, I try to use gum I think for me it helps, meanwhile I think I will go with Champix first doze which is valid for two weeks, then I will focus on sports, I'm 46, even though I'm into sports , thanks for the link will go through later on. Appreciate being positive, thx a lot ....cheers.

[@lubnasaqer9300]

i have stopped maybe 4 days after you... i am still.. craving still but a noon smoker finally... how r u doing?

[@fitfooduk]

and waking up at night which I never experienced before. When it comes to constipation you need to remember to eat lots of fiber, I thought I would be constipated but I wasn't but as I said I eat lots of fiber. First 3 weeks are the worst, then after 3 months I stopped constantly thinking about smoking :) My skin definitely got better and shortness of breath stopped straight away! I feel MUCH better! Best decision I ever made for myself:D I will keep fingers crossed for you! You can do it!

[@dreamyasd2133]

Hi. Love your video. What did you do about the weight gain? Did you gain any weight? I was 20 kilos overweight when I started smoking, so you can imagine my fear. Do you have any tips you can share? I know your blood sugar drops considerably low after you quit.

[@gbg9fa]

I'm only on day 3 but thanks for the video...hopefully some of your advice helps!

[@GhostFace_517]

Im 24 and decided to go cold turkey, not really as hard as I thought.the first couple of days was,then I woke up one morning feeling refresh.

[@redlymansfred4876]

Keep it up and save your such a beautiful smile :) great effrort

[@fitfooduk]

That's great! I kept on thinking about me going round with oxygen bottle in few years hehe and it worked!!

[@fitfooduk]

Thank you :) I keep fingers crossed for you!!

Thanks in advance for replying! I look forward to reading your answers!! And Congrats!!!!

[@lovelybliss3191]

What's the name of the vitamins you used? You said Ginseng and what else?

[@adambaker9702]

I quit jan 26th this year. It has been one of the greatest things I have accomplished as it's a tough addiction to beat. Now onto the weight gain from quitting. Guess I need to stop eating.

[@y34r]

i'm a heavy smoker for 17 years ,and one day almost year and half ago , i decided to quit. my mind has made up thus i can quit successfully, cold turkey , no patch , no e-cig. No point if you think you gonna use patch or e-cig to substitute cig, you would finally go back to smoke oneday anyway. you must decide to quit it all, your mind has to reach that conclusion before you would be able to really quit.

[@fitfooduk]

Hi! :) I was a heavy smoker too, like you :) I am so grateful I managed to quit! You can do it! And it gets easier the longer you don't smoke, I know it's hard at the beginning but it will be worth it in the end! How did you like Poland?? I was born in Poland, moved to London when I was 21 and it's been 12 years now in the UK :)

[@kelantettero7615]

have you tried a carrot stick and lighting it

[@fitfooduk]

I hope you didn't have it! Hang in there!! Have you tried the support group ? It helped me a lot as there were people going through the same thing. I think I posted a link under video?

[@lovelybliss3191]

How old was you when you quit smoking? If you don't mind.

[@Arab.ghetto]

i quit cold turkey first attempt it was awfull undescribable felt like shit but i was realy strong no matter how powerfull the urge was i kept telling my self dont dont dont it will wear off it will disappear until i successfully made it for half day then i relapse

[@fitfooduk]

Different things work for different people :) I tried so many things that worked for other people before and couldn't quit.

[@fitfooduk]

I agree :) And I think you need to want to stop to actually succeed.

[@fitfooduk]

You're probably right! I never thought about it before :) I actually think that smoking is as addictive as drugs so you need a similar approach! I hope you will quit next time for good, good luck Shaun :)

[@stringbenderbb]

Thanks for the video. Although I do not agree with every point I always apreciate it when someone takes time to help others, to quit. For me the most important thing you say is at: 19:30. By the way, do you mind revealing, which country you are from :-)

[@fitfooduk]

stringbenderbb I'm originally from Poland but live in the UK :)

[@stringbenderbb]

fitfooduk Thanks, I knew it somehow...my wife is polish .)

[@fitfooduk]

Ill keep fingers crossed for you! Remember it gets easier with time so keep strong! :)

[@kaylaalynn]

Just wondering how old were you when you quit smoking?

[@fitfooduk]

32 :) 5 years ago!

[@fitfooduk]

I believe that :) I also prayed before I quit for a long time for God to help me quit :)

[@fitfooduk]

For me the hardest was first 2-3 weeks :) Hope you're still doing well :)
