edit: I figured the search page for this would come up, but no dice. Anyway, just search "quitting smoking".

Go to your doctor and ask him/her for Zyban or Quonem.They aren't available in Korea, they use a Korean version/generic. If they know what you are talking about then ask for 10 days supply.

I was smoking for 20 years and gave up last month, within 10 days. The doctor gave me 7 or 8 days worth of medicine but I could feel I needed more.

You don't give up immediately, the drug is an inhibitor I think, that gradually weans you off the nicotine addiction and makes you forget your habit.

How would a lazer and smoking go together?

It's easy to kick the habit. Go to a hosptial and ask for the following perscription:

I've said it once, I'll say it a million times...

Forget drugs and patches. Pick up Allen Carr's "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking". Read it. Quit smoking.

It's been 3 1/2 years now, and I KNOW I'll never go back (and that's after +12 years of more than a pack a day). I NEVER have cravings, even when I'm in a bar and having a few drinks.

Seriously, what have you got to lose? The price of 3 packs of smokes, and a few hours of your time? If it doesn't work, oh well. If it does...? You can thank me later.

If you want to stop, just stop.

If you can't just stop, it means you don't really want to stop.

Alan Carr didn't work for me, but a few years later (two months ago, in fact), I quit cold turkey for medical reasons.

Chantix is the big drug in the states now ... doctor said it had a 60% success rate. quite expensive ....$120 per month for 2-6 months. you might try patches or gum first.

I used nicarrette successfully after a few tries. I had smoked for 9 years.

It helps to have friends that don't smoke as you can limit the temptations you encounter.

People quit smoking for life all the time. You can do it too. Good luck.
