So you have finally decided to quit smoking? Where do you start? Which methods to quit smoking really work? You might find yourself quitting for the first time or this is your 100th attempt. With all the options on how to quit smoking out there one can become confused finding a real workable solution.

Everyone has heard of the first method, probably the one tried the most, going cold turkey. Cold turkey is throwing out your cigarettes and vowing to never smoke again. For those with exceptional willpower, this really works. For many people, they struggle and/or fail doing this. If you are going to go cold turkey, you might want to gradually limit your nicotine intake over a period of time as well as change your diet to avoid sever withdrawal symptoms. If you have superior willpower, go with this. If not, try something else.

Hypnosis is another common method to stop smoking. Essentially, the idea is to trick your mind away from it’s mental addiction to nicotine. Again this has worked for some people, but many have also failed with this method. It’s debatable on how much you are using your own willpower and how much the hypnosis is actually helping you.

Yet another method (and one of the better ones) is to use quit smoking aids. These would be the patches, gums, and pills that can assist in the process. You have to be careful in your choice of these items since many have high doses of nicotine. You might break your habit with cigarettes but may also still be addicted to nicotine.

If you decide to go for quit smoking aids, there are gums and pills without any nicotine in them at all. These can help curb your desire for cigarettes, without leaving you still addicted to nicotine.

With all the methods out there, remember there is no easy way to quit smoking.
