		<description>Without medication - it can be done and is one of the best ways to do it. I think it is usually best, if you find you are really addicted to take a week off of work - go somewhere really remote far away from a liquor store and leave the cigarettes at home. Think like having a friend drop you off in the woods for a week and camping. Take plenty of water, vitamin C --- citrus fruits and bottled juice, and some form of protien (peanutbutter, nuts, or jerky if you are a meat eater). The worst time is the first 4 days. During that time think about why you are quitting and make sure you are keeping active to work through it. 

When you come back, it should be a bit easier to deal with ;) 

The other option is to throw the cigarettes out and go cold turkey at home. Again - drink PLENTY of water and citrus, as this will help to flush your system. Have low cal snacks like veggies around to help with the oral fixation and just go through it. 

I have tried to quit smoking myself 3 times in the last couple of weeks and it is tough. I did get the Commit Lozenges last time, and honestly they work really well. But it always makes me feel like I am prolonging the inevitable. In about 2 months when it gets warmer I am going to try the other way I mentioned - I think that if I can go cold turkey for a whole week, I will be on easy street when I get back and better prepared to deal with the cravings.

The key is really wanting to stop. And don&#039;t be too hard on yourself. On average it takes a smoker 9-11 times to quit before they are fully successful. I am noticing with each quit time it is getting a bit easier and easier. Good luck :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Go to a hypnotist.  I know it&#039;s kind of weird, but I&#039;ve heard that completely stops it immediately.  

Hope that helps you!  Congratulations on quitting!  :D&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>I think you really have to want to stop.  I had a friend do the hypnotize thing and it worked for her, I am sure it doesn&#039;t work for everyone.  I think the most important question is how bad do you really want to stop.  Are you doing it because you want to or because everyone tells you that you should?  If you really don&#039;t want to for yourself, I don&#039;t think anything will work.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
