When someone wants to quit smoking, what would you reccommend they do? Maybe start out by cutting back or something else? (I'm curious, because my boyfriend says he wants to quit, but that he thinks it's best he slowly cuts back on cigarettes per day.)
Nah, scaling back never works.
He's got to quit cold-turkey, with or without any of the various aids. He needs to get rid of cigarettes, lighters, ashtrays. Not put away, but get them out of the house.
Have lots of stuff for his mouth to do–hard candy, mints, gum, etc. Later he'll have to wean himself off those, too.
Tell him how proud you are of him. Tell him how nice it is to kiss him now. Tell him how much better the apartment smells. Tell him you know this will help him live longer, look and feel better, and free him from an addictive need that can take a person outside in the dead of a winter night or in a thunderstorm. ("OMG, I'm out of cigarettes!")
Help him by taking him to places where he won't smell others smoking. Ask his friends not to smoke around him for a while, until he's more firmly quit.
And forgive him if he backslides–but encourage him to get right up and try again.

Two of the most famous and well-reputed new quit smoking drugs are Chantix and Bupropion. Both are non-nicotine medicines, that require a certain period of treatment in order to be effective and which should be supported by professional counseling sessions. Before starting using new quit smoking drugs, it is best to have all your medical investigations made and to have the doctor analyze your record.
Chantix is a new quit smoking drug that comes in tablet form. Produced by Pfizer, this drug was conceived for pregnant women and teenagers under 18 who have to quit smoking. It is varenicline tartrate derived and it is considered to have a superior rating smoking cessation than Zyban. The usual Chantix treatment lasts for 12 weeks, but administration of this new quit smoking drug can be extended to a longer period depending on the case.
Bupropion is considered another revolutionizing new quit smoking drug that enjoys great result in nicotine addiction cessation.

This is the purpose of taking a quit smoking counseling course, because it offers the psychological support that you need to get rid of smoking and all its side effects. Just think that after quit smoking drug treatment, you will be over unpleasant breath smell, tiredness, low immunity, persistent cough and so on.

In order for someone to see the quit smoking health benefits, one should first know what smoking does to your health. Warnings on the harm it does to your body and mind are stated on all cigarette packages. These warnings are no exaggerations. The ailments associated with smoking range from bad smell breath to lung cancer, chronic bronchitis or coronary disease, heart attacks and strokes. Besides these, there are other minor health problems that smoking brings about. So, quit smoking health benefits are huge.
If you decide to quit smoking, and you will stick to that decision you will find yourself to be a new person, due to the incredible transformation that goes within your nicotine free cells. Quit smoking health benefits show immediately, right the next day. The pulse rate decreases, the blood pressure is lower, and you’re experiencing the first recovery and coming back to normal. And these are just the beginning of the quit smoking health benefits. Many more are to follow gradually, as the cell regains basic functions without the interference and stimulation of nicotine.
Smokers usually have digestive problems such as burning sensations, which will disappear within a few days after giving up smoking. One of the most important quit smoking health benefits is that you can breathe easily, without panting or getting short breath. Without nicotine your blood is richer in oxygen, and physical effort won’t be such a torture anymore. If for a smoker, climbing stairs may be breath taking, once the person quits, he or she will be able to take part in outdoors activities effortlessly.
Better sleep quality, less anxiety, better general condition, are other quit smoking health benefits that won’t take long to appear as a result of nicotine elimination.

You don’t cure the body without also purifying the mind.
