I don't wanna buy them..Can I make them from home?

Probably not. Unless you have a way to separate nicotine from tobacco leaves.

I cannot use any stop smoking aids, ie the patch or gum etc... any good methods on how to quit smoking?

Make sure you surround yourself with support from before your quit date arrives. I found online forums most useful as we were all experiencing the same thing. I'm proud to say I'm now over 3 months quit.

Good luck with it and below I've provided a link to one of the great sites I found most helpful.

my boyfriend has been smoking for a few years now and it really is getting to me i dont know what to do to make him stop, his used the essentails the nicotine patches, gum etc but its not really made any difference is there any other help out there?

my sister used these 'inhalers' nicobate makes them or soemthing and you have this inhaler and you put nicotine 'capsule' things in it and you 'smoke' the inhaler just as you would with a ciggy and my sister went through all the gum and everything, but she also chewed the gum while using this inhaler, i strongly recommend it, it worked a charm on my older sister

I was recently diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma and sometime in the near future I'll be meeting with an oncologist and starting treatment. I want to quit smoking to help my situation, but I don't know the best way to go about it. Quitting cold turkey would obviously be a good idea, but I honestly don't think I'm capable of doing that. I've used patches successfully before, but it took a matter of months to quit that way. I'm not very familiar with nicotine gum, prescription stop-smoking aids, or anything else that may be out there. I'd like to quit a.s.a.p. to avoid becoming sicker during treatment. I'm also concerned about interactions between a stop-smoking aid and chemo/radiation therapy, if my method of quitting did need to take place while I was being treated. Any suggestions or info would mean a lot...

Ask the oncologist office what they would suggest..here are some links on Hodgkins and some books for info...Stay AHEAD of any nausea with the anti-nausea pills (if given to you). Once you are nauseous, you won't even want to look at a pill.

Attempting to stop smoking is not very easy, learning the precise reason why you essentially smoke is typically important to the successfulness of the project.

They can range all the way from something as trusting as smoking when you're depressed, stressed or when you desire a fast pick me up. The assumption that smoking a ciggie will make your projects depart is a trusting concept, but in fact, it is totally wrong. Generally what's really favourable is the undeniable fact that you can take one or two transient moments out of your life to see precisely what's going on.

One such example is people who work at a disturbing job, anticipating your next fag break is usually going hand in hand with attempting to break away from the strain for some transient moments. Learning to cut down the stress while at work can be terribly useful to cutting down the amount of cigarettes you want also.

Other reasons that many folk smoke is due to being of the opinion that they'll be unable to smoke. This returns to the old concept that you're never hungry at night excepting the evening before a medical test when you're not permitted to eat after 8p.m.

If you're going somewhere and you believe that you will struggle to smoke, the need to smoke might be much stronger. This regularly has zilch to do with really requiring or perhaps desiring to smoke. It isn't anything more than a psychological game that we play with ourselves. Many smokers find they are solely interested in smoking if they're bored.

Bothering to make a schedule for yourself you can keep, without leaving too much down time is important. If you pack your agenda with too much, you'll create stress, which could make you smoke much more, if you've got too much spare time you may become bored which can also lead to smoking more. A correctly balanced schedule will ensure you are productive without stressing. A last consideration you will need to consider is getting lots of sleep. Many individuals smoke because they require a pick me up in the middle of the day. Finding yourself in this position isn't good. Avoid staying up unduly late when possible. Even retiring to bed early once each week can mount up to reducing the sleep deficit that you are experiencing. As lives are increasingly busy, it is kind of easily forgotten how important sleep actually is. This may make a big have to do something, virtually anything to stay awake. Avoid smoking and make sure that you are getting the rest you actually need. This straightforward step alone will help you to chop your smoking by as much as half if you're devoted to getting the sleep that your body truly desires to survive.

It gives you something to do. So you wont think about it as much.

Like what brand of the patch works best. Does the gum work? Do the perscriptions work best?

I used the patches and was successful. The cheaper brand of the patches have the same ingredients as the name band so you can save a few bucks. Good luck!
