Hi, I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure and the doctor has advised me to stop smoking. You would think that the diagnosis would be enough to make me stop, unfortunatly it is not the case. I am finding it really difficult. It was only on monday when I was told. Have any of you got any tips that could help, I have been offered patches and I'm also considering zyban. I would love to hear from anyone who has tried these or other methods. Thanks
Suggestion:
I tried everything without success; thought I was never going to be able to quit. The I found out about smoking withdrawal programs where you UN-learn the habit. Most of us had to learn how to smoke and the we began associating events with smoking. Those connections can be unlearned. It worked for me. Below are some programs similar to what I used. Investigate them.
Congratulations on your decision. If I can be of any help to you please contact me.
I've been smoke-free for 17 years! You'll be amazed at the positive changes quitting brings.

I have been a non smoker now for 17 months i tried a few times to give up I tried Zyban i just kept on smoking i tried patches but had terrible nightmares .This time i tried different patches the clear ones and they were brilliant, i had no problem giving up, even though my husband still smokes so even if you have to keep trying different things Don't give up on giving up
Hi there
I was a smoker for 15 years on more than 20 a day.
I stopped smoking 4 years ago and I used a hypnotist.
No patches or gum or any more chemicals in my body.
I wont lie it was expensive (about £250) BUT seeing as I smoked over 20 a day, at £5 per pack it paid for itself after just 50 days, so less than 3 months!
I haven't had a cigarette since and no desire to either! It was hard at first but with the support of my family and friends I haven't looked back.
Good luck and keep trying it gets easier I promise!
