Wanna Stop Smoking? Here's How.

Chula Vista · 01-22-2015, 08:09 PM

Smoked from 14 until I was 40. Tried stopping a number of times and nothing worked. This method finally worked. I haven't smoked in almost 15 years.

1. Fill up an ashtray with a bunch of butts and ash.
2. Get a glass jar with a lid and fill it halfway with water.
3. Toss out the butts, empty the ash into the jar, shake it up well, screw on the cover tight and let it sit for a couple of days.
4. Get yourself a bunch of these.

5. Choose the day and on that morning when you get the first urge to light up grab the jar, take off the lid, and take a nice big whiff of the contents. Then immediately grab a toothpick and use it like a cigarette. (they taste really good BTW).
6. Keep doing this throughout the day. Get an urge, take a whiff, and "smoke" a toothpick.

After about 3 days I was able to ditch the jar and only use the toothpicks. I was able to get rid of them after about a week. I kept the jar and picks handy though and occasionally would have to use them but only once in a while.

Trust me, if you can light a cigarette and inhale after smelling the inside of the jar you ain't human. And the toothpicks give your hands and mouth something to do. Plus your teeth get nice and clean!

Good luck!

How to stop smoking:

Step One: Actually want to stop, and don't just say you do.
Step Two: Do it.

I assume that you've never been addicted to a substance before, else you'd not be so quick to imply that everyone who fails to beat an addiction just wasn't "serious" enough about it. And if you have had an addiction before, then shame on you. You should know better.

the toothpick/jar thing is a bit too elaborate for me.

i think i'll just pick up a crack habit instead so i can't afford cigs anymore

I agree whole-heartedly. I am and always have been a non-smoker, but would never lecture anyone on how to give it up, because basically I have not the first clue what it's like to be addicted to something like nicotine. I think it's pretty reprehensible to denigrate what may be continual efforts to kick the habit by people which did not work. To say it's just that "they don't want to" is really quite an insult.

I think Vowels was referring to half arsed people who just say they'll one day do something but never end up doing it, not that people who fail to beat addiction aren't serious about it.

Having that kind of mentality towards addiction does help some people get out of it. Not saying it works for everybody or it's okay to bag on people that it doesn't work for but it does help for some.
