ummm..they should prolly not spend a lot of time around people that smoke that way they are less tempted and not have cigarrettes around to be a constant temptation.

There are patches, gums, medications, and even cigarettes that help you quit.  Just choose one.

Take up a hobby and get busy with that you will have no time to smoke. :D

I like the idea of this, but likely they have an addictive personality.  When you try and just substitute something for an addiction, often times, that new hobby becomes the addiction.  Sure, it may not be as dangerous, but the habit forming is still a bad thing.

Have them talk to someone very close to them, find something that means A LOT to them, a promise to a friend, doing it for someone who recently passed away, give them motivation to quit even when it gets hard.  The cigarettes they have, throw them away.  If he hangs out with people that smoke, at least until he quits the addiction, don't hang out with them.  When you stop smoking, it isn't a habit change, its a lifestyle change.  He needs motivation to stop quitting.  He would stop, but quite frankly, there's nothing to keep him from doing it again.  The patches, the gum, all those things help fight the urge, but they only work if you make them work.  A lot of times people basically quit quitting because they get scared when things get hard, they don't like that they're shaking, throwing up, and going into severe withdrawal, they fail to see that it won't be that way forever.  They need motivation to stop, not just ways to make it easier.

Nicotine patches or prescription smoking cessation medication like Zyban or Chantix.

I have had the patches and am on Zyban now. They both work but I like Zyban better. It's killed my cravings and got cigs outta my head.

1) Get a prescription of wellbutrin.

2) Taper off of the cigarettes, while replacing the habbit with healthier ones

3) Use nicotine patches to control cravings
