In the early part of this century, cigarette smoking was accepted, and even considered healthy and glamorous. It was seen as a way to promote mental acuity, efficiency, and relaxation. People tend to smoke more of them, or inhale more deeply to get the same amount of nicotine. I feel so strongly about people not smoking that I will not accept patients who are users unless they have made a commitment to quit. None of these methods works reliably for everyone.
Most successful quitters do it on their own after one or more unsuccessful attempts.
Don't get discouraged. If you can't quit today, you may be able to tomorrow. You want to be motivated. You need to do this for yourself, not because someone else wants you to. In fact, the best predictor for success is making attempts to quit.
