You Can QUIT Smoking - Here's How! (Part 6)

Stop Completely!

Some have found that deep breathing and exercise helps overcome smoking, by getting the mind off the temptation and onto something more worthwhile. The basic key to remember however is simply this: When you quit, quit completely! Stop all smoking. Use the "cold turkey" method. Tapering off almost never works!

The "tapering off method" only spreads the agony of withdrawal over a long period of time. As one man put it, "Tapering down is about as humane as cutting a dog's tail off by inches so it won't hurt so much." Some few may quit smoking successfully by "tapering off." This method is not recommended anyway. It is too risky and doesn't work for most people!
