People say I have tried to stop smoking several times and failed,Some people say others can stop smoking easily,listen if I can stop smoking after 40 cigs a day over 42 years you sure can.

Quitting the habit quickly is important, especially since there are a variety of dangers that go along with smoking. More than likely you already know all the dangers that come along with smoking, so we’ll not go into them here, but you shouldn’t stop thinking about them.

It’s not easy to kick the habit.

There are literally thousands of methods out there. Some will work for you, some won’t.

What works for you may not work for someone else and, conversely, what worked for your friend may not work for you.

This is why you can’t just dismiss a method for stopping smoking just because you’ve heard people say it doesn’t work or it just seems too ‘weird’ or ’stupid’ to possibly help you quit smoking.

So let’s talk about substituting one habit for another.

I have heard of people giving up smoking using this method, where they replace their habit with another habit.

We all have habits, they dictate much of our lives. Some are bad, some are good and yet others are neither bad nor good.

The trick in this instance, if you’re gonna try this method, is to pick a habit that will distract you sufficiently from smoking (at least long enough for the craving to pass), but that will also not become damaging in itself!

For example, I have known people to stop smoking by sucking on boiled sweets whenever the urge arises for a cigarette. The problem is pretty obvious: gaining weight, rotten teeth, etc.

One of my attempts to quit smoking involved chewing on a straw! Strange as it sounds it did actually quell my cravings for a while.

Here are some other habits (good ones only!) you may want to try:

- sugar free boiled sweets/lollipops/gum (watch this one, the sweeteners can cause a laxative effect in excessive amounts!)
- chewing toothpicks
- chewing straws
- take up a hobby
- spend more time with your kids/pets/spouse/family/friends
- spend more time with a non-smoker friend (this one’s quite good actually)
- go somewhere pretty, like a park or the beach and enjoy the view
- get fit, take up swimming or running or whatever takes your fancy
- take up yoga, meditation or Tai Chi

Willpower is the key to controlling any habit and if you can strenthen your resolve to stop smoking then that will help you enormously. This seems to be the idea with hypnosis so that your subconcious mind becomes more convinced that you do not want to smoke a cigarette at all. I have not tried this myself but it seems that some people have found this a very effective way of overcoming their desire for a cigarette.Try out this and you will see positive changes in your life click the link -Easy Quit Smoking System
