The best remedies to smoking addiction and other vices take time to stop. Here are some tested tips by others that succeeded in overcoming bad habits:
1. Buy and carry your chewing gum 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Every time you have the urge to smoke, take and chew your gum.
2. Start changing your diet and drinks. Eat mostly fruits and vegetables. If you have to eat meat, always eat fish instead. Eat lots of beans and nuts to substitute your need to have protein from chicken, beef, pork, etc. Drink green tea and herbal teas. Drink lots of real fruit juices. Avoid the soft drinks.
3. Keep yourself busy by doing productive works, hobbies, etc. According to the very good to excellent psychologists, when people smoke they are actually lonely. Smoking, among the addicts, is like having a friend or companion with them when they are alone.
4. You can stop smoking by realizing that you are subtracting 10 to 15 years of your lifetime even if you are ran over by a drunk driver or victimized by a terrorist!
5. Drop out your addicted friends from your diary and/or appointment book. Avoid contacts with all of your unconverted or so-called "Christian" friends. Make new friends with the members of the Seventh Day Adventist, Church of God, Messianic Jewish/Israelite groups, etc. They are always health conscious people. They follow the biblical principles of healthy living.
6. If you profess to be a Christian, bear in mind that your whole body is the temple of the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit does not dwell in the body of the Christian who continually violates the physical laws of God (Leviticus Chapter 11).
7. God our Father and Christ our Savior promised to give rewards to those that believe: "Faith without works is dead." You have a dead faith if you do not keep the commandments of God, for instance! Keep praying. Try and keep fasting. Spend time studying the Holy Bible. The devil and his demons will flee away from you when you stay close to God and Jesus Christ all the time!
Here's something that definitely worked for me. I really vouch for this because after all the extensive years in the US Army, I thought that I became a hopeless addict to nicotine. I tried chewing gum, I tried waning the habit: I literally tried almost everything to kick the habit. None worked but one, unexpectedly.
Here it goes....
When I went through the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia, to train with several elements of the US government's law enforcement agencies for 16 weeks, I was continuously straggling behind the younger guys during our physical exercises. I easily lost "wind", and picking up the "second wind" was almost an excrutiating wait. My strong determination to successfully graduate really made me duke out the odds.
One day at the dorm, doing my personal hygiene in preparing for the morning classes, I looked at myself in the mirror and told myself how stupid I was for spending all the money for cigarettes just to abuse my body and smoking my lungs out! You see during my US Army days, I did not feel the after effects of nicotine during our exercises because we were always moving. Being in an airborne, combat engineer outfit, we ran 5 miles a day - that's about 8 kilometers a day! In addition to that, I was younger then.
Anyhow, back to the dorm. Something turned in my brain - maybe a loose screw that got tightened a bit. Next thing I knew, I trashed all my Marlboro packs and dunk them in water. (Mind you, I smoked the hardcore stuff too like the non-filtered Pall Mall and Chesterfield brands.)
So beginning that day, I successfully tackled the classes while fending off the withdrawal after-effects of "COLD TURKEY"! Each time I got the cravings for a stick of cigarette (especially when nearby smokers), I dash off to the nearest water fountain and drank like there was no tomorrow! I literally drank myself full at each episode of craving. Hell, I pissed like a horse too!!! Water had got to come out one way or another!
To make the story short, I finally beat the guys who were always ahead of me. I achieved a 6-minute mile (approx 16 minutes per kilomenter) run and became our class' "Super Jock"! Even in our martial arts sessions, no one dared to spar with me anymore because a lot of them easily ran out of wind.
Ultimately, I graduated as the "Outstanding Graduate" in our class having excelled in the academic sessions, law enforcement survival tactics, physical exercises, firearms expertise and self-defense.
Conclusion:
1. That water allowed the expeditious "cleansing" of my body off nicotine. 2. Food became tastier and my appetite increased adding more energy and fuel that my body needed during each rigorous training. 3. My pulse became steady and better thus eliminating the shakes of my fingers or hands during firearms target practice and qualifications. 4. I experienced better timeframes of concentration and ease in perception. 5. My body as well as my breath did not stink anymore. 6. I began to hate (with a passion) the faintest smell of cigarette smoke; and I began to despise the nasty stench of cigarette breath of an inconsiderate smoker. 7. I began smoking in 1963 and ultimately quit smoking on October 12, 1987. Never dared to smoke since then.
Water, my friend, water. It's cheap and non-addicting. A slew of chewing gums might be good so long as they're sugar-free. They're not cheap though. After a while, you'll also attain the nasty after-taste of chewing gum in your mouth that sometimes impedes your morale. But with water, I don't think you'll have a problem. Nice about it also is - the body needs it - and you cleanse your body with it at the same time. Only one drawback - gotta have CRs nearby, or you might have to do it behind a tree or something!

Day Emiat,
Do you also mean that you'll lose the sense of pleasure for sex? In a way, this type of medication may be good for those who really are hard core smokers and trying hard to quit! For some it could be such a very hard bargain knowing that during the time when they're trying to quit smoking, they also lose the appetite for sex. On the prescription part of it, however long it would take for one to quit smoking could also be very expensive considering issues on health insurance coverage.
For cost effectiveness, water (plus a stable "will power") is still good in fending off the smoking habit. I already have a few friends who tried this remedy, and they too swear up and down that it works!
Best of luck to those who are really trying....
OT Warm regards to your dad, Emmanuel Go Duarte.
