I found that the most sucsessful way to quit was going “cold turkey”. Nicotine doesn’t help people give up nicotine. I have no faith in doctors because they still prescribe nicotine to people that want to give up nicotine. They care more about making money than the health of people.
This guy helped me to understand how to quit smoking. All his videos are free.
"Cold turkey" ... I agree. That's the way I quit. Quitting is not a problem when you WANT to quit. Nicotine is not a drug, it's a poison.
I worked with a friend who smoked four packs of cigarettes a day. He had a heart attack and while in recovery, he asked the doctor when he could start smoking again. The doctor said, "Harry, the next cigarette you smoke is going to kill you." Harry never smoked again.
