Quitting nicotine cold turkey can be an extremely difficult thing to do but it is definitely not impossible. All that’s needed is a lot of determination and of course strong will power. If you have got this far you obviously have the determination but keeping it will be your biggest obstacle.

Quitting cold turkey is a very popular method for quitting cigarettes and is always looked at first when it comes to quitting. Many smokers quitting this method give up trying after the first failure and the trick here is to keep at it – don’t give up on quitting!

A very popular method of quitting is the Allen Carr’s Easyway to quit smoking. Allen has had an enormous influence over smokers and their habits the world over. The book is a light read and has a compelling argument for smokers. If you are serious or looking for a loved one to quit this time of year I suggest you purchase a copy. With over 10 million copies sold you should be able to find one in your nearest bookshop.
Not everyone is inclined to quit smoking cold turkey and if you would prefer an aid we definitely encourage you to look at a method that is suitable for you. I strongly suggest that if you use patches, pills or hypnotism that you still arm yourself with knowledge of quitting by purchasing the book recommended and reading through our Quit Smoking Advice section. After all knowledge in this regard won’t have any nasty side effect! I’m not here to say which method is better – we are all different, we will all have a method that appeals to us the most and we will all have a method that works.
Many people think quitting is easy and all you have to do is slap on a patch but without will power you could end up smoking while still using the patch. Many smokers also keep trying to quit and will wain in and out of the habit and years will pass before eventually they do quit or worse go back to a stronger addiction. If this is you or if its your first attempt at quitting we trust you will make the best go of it and hope to see you quit real soon.
