Gradually reducing the number of cigarettes smoked - called fading - may be more effective, says Lirio Covey, PhD, Columbia professor and smoking cessation expert.
I smoked for 11 years. Had to go cold turkey, fading would suck me back in. The withdrawing was horrible, I literally got sick. I'm one month cigarette free now. Best decision I ever made!
I smoked for almost twenty years and used this fade method to quit many times but it never happened and I quit all of sudden now am feeling alive and more hungry 😁😊😊
The best way to quit is to not tell anybody and suddenly quit out of the blue rite before you lite the cigarette. It just gives you more power and more control.
Fade method is devised to keep these 'experts' in business. Never worked for me. After 15 years, I quit the day my daughter was born. Never picked it up again. You quit all or none.
Do both, duh. Fade fade fade until one day your body even starts to reject it. While you're fading, mentally prep yourself. When you decide to quit cold turkey, watch videos on smoke cessation and the health benefits of not using/detriments around using. It is working for me so far. Create a playlist of go-to videos like this one when u get cravings. I'm 4 days in. I'll be back to update you guys. Good luck to everyone.
Smoking for last 12 years 20 cig a day, suddenly quitting is not effective in my case, I tried many a times but failed, and now am reducing day by day😌 and it is really working better. Video gives me courage that am going right further
My advice Fade if you are heavy smoker from long time .. I try cold turkey I must say it's too much hard .. and withdrawals are worst ... fade is best .. I know personally cold turkey is worst choice if you heavy smoker from long periods of time
Im on my 4th day of cold turkey.. 1box per day and my withdrawal are shocking.. im in pain, im having anxiety, restless, and i can feel my heart pounding fast... my god.. stress out, should i do the fading process since ive stop for 4days already???
For your bodies health stopping now is best. I tapered then quit. Found physical activity to distract me. Then went to a place where there was no tobacco and stayed till I was free
I respectfully disagree. I've tried that method so many times, but it didn't even past the 2nd day. Now as Im typing this comment, I'm 568 days smoke-free. All thanks to cold-turkey. Its tough. But the reoccurring rate is much lesser than the fading method.
I smocked over 15 years now i finally decide to Stop smoking.. i didn't smock last 2days and it's very difficult to stop day1 I was frustrated anxiety little pain on my head... Now suddenly I'm coughing.. feels different day by day let's see I can quit smoking 🚭 or not 😤
True! I smoke 5 A day l can't get down 2 zero yet❗help me Lord❗l stop smoking in my car ,house, around my kids and grands.or went l go out. U can't smoke here or there. Which is good😉❗
For me I quit cold turkey and failed many times but eventually one time it stuck. I used to say I’d only smoke when I’m drinking or turned to vaping but it doesn’t work unless you commit to quitting nicotine entirely. You shouldn’t see those failed attempts as failures though, see them as little breaks from smoking. Every time you quit for a few days then go back to it you haven’t failed, it’s a small win. It gets easier over time and eventually when you do finally quit for good it’s not even that hard because of all the little breaks you’ve had from previous attempts to quit. You really have to decide to quit entirely though, the first time I resolved in my head that I was quitting for good was the time it actually stuck.
I smoked for 11 years.

Depends on yourself

Agreed.
Good advice. Great actually

so you smoked pregnant?
Facts!
Most expert are non smoker themselves so it is kind of a non swimmer teaching you how to survive in the sea.

Hey man how are u doing now? Is it over still?
I find anything other than just looking at the time and quitting, you're just playing a game with yourself
My advice Fade if you are heavy smoker from long time .. I try cold turkey I must say it's too much hard .. and withdrawals are worst ... fade is best .. I know personally cold turkey is worst choice if you heavy smoker from long periods of time

@@abynoura7253 fade is best cold turkey is for 2 or 3 cigarettes per day people's not for heavy smoker
Sounds good, and i get to make a schedule which i realy like making 👍👍
I did it cold Turkey I’m clean now feel fucking amazing
Fading doesn't work. Just quit. I went to a place for a week where cigarettes were not available.
For your bodies health stopping now is best. I tapered then quit. Found physical activity to distract me. Then went to a place where there was no tobacco and stayed till I was free
Fading never works .. I tried a lot but it doesn't work... so If you want to quit than quit suddenly
I respectfully disagree.

do not worry , you will smoke again, you want it......
@@blablablablablabla8178 haha unfortunately not. Day 715 today. U probably need it. 👍
@@DerrickTay88Bro Uhh Are a Winner 🎉😊 Btw What's the Number Of Days Now?
As I am reading such types of comments I am more determined to go cold-turkey. I smoke as if this is my last time ,
That cutting is not effective.. If u want to quit then quit!! Fight the nicotine withdrawal..
cutting is effective but you r low in character
The mindfulness book "30 Days to Quit Smoking" by Harper Daniels is good.

Nice video but I believe in pulling your pants up and just getting on with it.
