text: any advice on kicking the smoking habit? i would really like to quit smoking and am taking welbutrin to help but still can't seem to stop.  any ideas to aid me in my quest to stop smoking? hi...these are just tips, but they're useful: 1-count the cigarettes you smoke every day, ...-1 each day/week,slowly! 2-if you're into coffe-cigarette thing, stop drinking coffee! 3-if you can't help smoking one, smoke it with the hand you usually don't use, don't sit, stay in a place you don't like. uncomfortable feelings related to smoking do help! 4-don't buy cigarettes!at least you can ask someone for one.but if you haven't got the packet, it's more difficult to smoke! 5-no lighters in your house, no ashtrails.no one is allowed to smoke in your house, not even you. 6-tell everyone you quitted smoking, so if they see you smoking they're going to have fun on you or think you're weak-willed. 7-is there a taste in your mouth that doesn't make you smoke at all (for me, strawberry candies)...use it! 8-are you into alcohol/beer-cigarette thing?avoid it! 9-i think it's better to quit smoking slowly instead of quickly, but if you want to try...then choose an important date (your birthday party, the arrival of a thing you're waiting, your new car's first day, first day of holidays, stuff like that) and from there, you cannot smoke! 10-you smoke because you're stressed, or need a moment of rest in the day?buy a fake cigarette. smoking, apart from nicotine, is a substitute for meditation!think about it. when you smoke, you slowly inhale, wait, then exhale your breath, slowly, feeling the air coming inside you and going to the lungs and then going out through the mouth/nose...it is meditation!try doing the same process with a fake cigarette, a pencil or whatever.breathing deeply helps... i hope you'll succeed. good luck! cheers
