Is There a Simple Way to Quit Smoking?

There're many ways to quit smoking, but is there a simple way and will it be simple for you? See if this article will give you a push to the right direction :)

Go Cold Turkey

The simplest if you can pull it off. Takes a LOT of willpower and most likely invole having cravings and side effects (weight gaining, increased anxiety, etc.). This one is still probably most popular among smoking folk to try but also very popular to fail. That's the one people say: "tried quitting smoking three times and tried quitting to quit smoking four."

Pros: cheapest
Cons: very hard, side effects.

Reduce the Number of Cigarettes

The hardest among any as there's so many little ways of cheating yourself for an extra puff and so many little excuses and temptations (e.g. social smoking). This one can be hardly even considered as a way to quit smoking unless you have already quit using this method.

Pros: cheaper than smoking
Cons: hardest to quit, side effects, have to be good in Maths.

Medications

Quit smoking drugs normally fall into two groups: nicotine replacement (Nicotrol, Nicorette, etc.) and non-nicotine medicine (Zyban, Chantix, etc.). They're all based on the concept of reducing nicotine cravings while you're quitting smoking. The effect varies, but some people find them quite helpful.

Pros: easier to quit
Cons: not cheap, side effects, quit often no guarantee (wasted money if failed).

Pros: easy to quit, cheap, no side effects, satisfaction guarantee.

Laser Therapy/Acupuncture

Laser therapy is becoming very popular as well. It's based on applying "cold" laser beam on particular energy points of your body that would affect in releasing natural chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins are supposed to calm and ease your carvings while you're quitting.

Acupuncture is based on the same principle of applying pressure on particular points and you can say that laser therapy was actually derived from acupuncture.

Pros: may be quite effective.
Cons: not cheap, may not work for everyone, side effects.

Other Ways

There're more ways of course, but they're less popular or less practical, such as: yoga, "suicidal substitution" (start drinking or smoking pot instead of smoking tobacco), voodoo, etc.
