Best method to quit smoking?

Question 1
Best method to quit smoking?...  I am 27 and have smoked for ten years. I have tried different methods to quit but never really had any success. I just started Zyban and I am really driven to quit now. Has anyone had success with this or are there any other recommendations?

Patch, gum and cold turkey didn't work very well for me.

Answers
1)   throw them away - KevinTheMovieManiac

2)   You could try hypnotization or e-cigarettes.

3)   Just take the decision to quit and be consistent , you may start by having less cigarettes per day , but i think if you just stop it will be better but would be harder for the first 1-2 weeks . - osarha

4)   Everyone I know who has actually quit has done so cold turkey.

As lame and cliche as it sounds, just say no. Every time you want a cigarette, just tell yourself no. Unless you plan to be on the patch/gum/e-cigs/drugs the rest of your life, at some point you are going to have to learn how to tell yourself no. So why not just learn how to do it from the start when it is arguably the most difficult time to do it?

The reality of it is that quitting cigarettes is easy. All you have to do is not smoke. Actually not smoking is EASIER than smoking because you don't have to buy cigarettes, find something to light them with, deal with ashing, deal with the butts when you are done, etc. You don't do anything.

The only thing you have to do is not smoke. - EatATaco

5)   its always easier to say than to do right?
substitution seems like the most painfree way to go about it. at least it'll give your mind something to do while you convince yourself you dont need to smoke a cigarette no matter how good you think it would feel at that moment.
i've heard good things about Chantix for quitting. you should ask your Dr about it though.
but obviously cold turkey is the simplest, most efficient, and popular way to quit.
whichever your decision, it all comes down to your will power.
be strong and get through it.
best of luck to you sir! - Eric Alvarez

6)   well Champix worked for me but I was very driven to quit so it's hard to tell if it was a placebo effect or almost coincidence that I was taking it whilst motivated.

even if you are motivated to quit you will still have massive urges to smoke. Its hard but no one puts that cigarette in your mouth. you have to go to the shop buy a pack, take one out, light it and inhale. YOU do all those things and only you can control that. all the drugs in the world won't stop you putting a smoke in your mouth and tasting the sweet tabacco smoke filling you up with satisfac..... no no wait. darn it. pure will power mate. believe in yourself because it is better on the other side but it's so hard to imagine.

There are so many advantages to quitting. Cancer etc aside
you WILL feel fitter.
you can run longer. (not at first, it's worse at first)
your hard on will be bigger (by about an inch).
you'll smell nice and use less aftershave.
you don't have to keep going outside in winter.
smoking in this day and age makes you look like a dick.
money money money.

GOOD LUCK - Angelhil

Question 2
What does the evidence say about copper bracelets?...  

Answers
1)   The point of your skin is to keep things out. I would be surprised we all hadn't died by now with the harmful chemicals around the place if it was that easy for copper to seep through your skin. It may get into your top layer, but doubtful it will get to the blood vessels. - Dazza

2)   In relation to what?
The only use for copper bracelets I know is some people wear them as an antidote to pain from wrist joint etc. if they suffer from arthritis or rheumatism. An ex work colleague wore one for many years and swore it kept the pain at bay. Other people use magnetic bracelets for the same reason. - TERRY H

3)   For arthritis at least, they are apparently useless. - Sarah

4)   The evidence says they are a placebo.

See this 2009 study:

"Therapeutic effects of magnetic and copper bracelets in osteoarthritis: a randomised placebo-controlled crossover trial.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that magnetic and copper bracelets are generally ineffective for managing pain, stiffness and physical function in osteoarthritis. Reported therapeutic benefits are most likely attributable to non-specific placebo effects. However such devices have no major adverse effects and may provide hope."
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19942103 - Gary Y

5)   Copper bracelets are a placebo.

This reminds me of the time when my ex-husband's sister went to the chiropractor because she had a cold. (This family hates actual doctors, and go to the chiropractor for everything.) He told her to stop wearing any kind of metal jewelry for a week, and her cold would be better.

Amazingly, it worked! It was a flipping miracle!

(Of course, anyone who has a cold will be better in a week, no matter what they do or don't do, but still... this chiropractor is a miracle worker! He knows how to cure the common cold!)

6)   Magnetic and copper wrist bracelets are a scam. They haven't been demonstrated to have any effect on pain, or physical function in osteoarthritis. - Rhianna does Medicine Year 1

Question 3
Is this for real? or just a very well done scam? online pills with no prescription.?...  http://ipharmacylist.com/

How do people get away with such a thing? Can't cops track this?

Answers
1)   It's a scam. - You're bad at CoD

2)   Well by attempting to get pills without a prescription you would be liable as well meaning you could be arrested so they don't need to worry about you reporting them. And yes cops can track it. And yes we get that you are trying to force people to go to this scam site.

Kids go on this site and so do some stupid people so don't try to scam them. - john

3)   just email me your credit card number and ill verify the information for you.
i can do this for you other answer folk too!
lol! - Snail

4)   It is possible to buy medicines online - the companies that offer them are based in overseas countries where either the medicine is available without a prescription or where the manufacturer's trademarks do not apply or are routinely ignored, thus making it possible to supply either the actual medicine very cheaply or a cheap copy.

However, it's not advisable to buy them, The savings may be tempting, but there have been many instances where people purchased what looked like medicine which later turned out to have no active ingredients or even to be harmful. - JackC

5)   How can the cops track it. The registrar is privacy protected and they are usually based in a country where local law enforcement won't do anything

I honestly don't know why anyone would trust drugs from an unofficial source - there are always stories about how dangerous these counterfeit drugs are. - Kittysue

Question 4
natural ways of cleansing ,toning and moisturizing your face?...  1) my face is very oily ...shud i have to moisturise it??

Answers
1)   there is a very useful website called - dailyglow.com u should see it. it gives beauty tips and more.
and a good thing would be to hydrate your face very often and wash it before sleeping every night. and moisturize your face, it helps to soften skin and helps pores - hey

2)   Nutmeg gives slow but good results. Take a spoon of nutmeg and add milk with it and make a paste. Apply it in your face from bottom to top movements. Wash after 15 minutes with warm water. - zenthil

3)   Nah ...not at all ....if ur face is oily it is already moisturized ......
Dont wash it with ordinary soap but always wash it with basin ( channa dal powder)
i don't remember its name in english ...:(
if u got the name like my answer .
It really works...
Stay blessed! - naina

4)   I would suggest a visit to the website below which has some great ideas for home-made natural cleansers, toners and moisturisers.
Yes, you should moisturise. Over oiliness does not help to moisturise your face. I know it is tempting to just try to get rid of the excess oil and not use a moisturiser, but in the longer run, areas of your face which are never oily, such as the delicate under-eye area will become damaged without regular moisture. Aggressively removing the oiliness with harsh cleansers and toners can also make the skin try to compensate by producing more oil.
Hope this helps! - callalou1

5)   The cosmetics industry just loves to push notions that sell products. If you want to have nice skin for life, never wash your face with anything but cold water and mild soap and pat dry with a clean towel. If your face is very oily and/or you perspire a lot, you can wash your face several times a day. The only people who may need to moisturize are people who live in colder climates in the winter time. Consuming lots of omega 3 fish oils will even make this unnecessary. Your skin, and the collagen layer beneath it is nourished by what you eat. Not what you glop on it. - thenoseknows
