Smoking what I wish to be my last cigarette now. I've quit before but the second I get stressed or upset the urge overcomes me. Any good tricks for beating that psychological urge? Thank you please.

Aside from cessation, one trick I have found is to never have your last ever ciggy. That just makes it forbidden fruit, which is far more tempting.

I allow myself cigarettes in very specific and limited circumstances. For example, if I'm out drinking in town (which is rare).

Another thing I did was to still go outside as I would have done if I was still smoking. Not sure why, but I think it helped trick my brain into thinking that I'd actually just had one.

Thank you. I always go outside to smoke but not making it the last ever is a good call

When i gave up 9 yrs ago, i just went cold turkey..

My trick was if i got an urge to have a ciggie i would say to myself 'I'll have one in a bit' and the next time i thought about it i thought it again and so on until the thought went out of my head...by that time the urge had gone..

Addiction is a very interesting beast.

You've just got to power your way through stressful situations without smoking enough times to change the habit.

The urge is strong, but doesn't last forever.

Tablets that help you stop smoking. They get mixed reviews but I thought they were amazing (until I got pissed and started smoking again).

I believe this exactly, it's habit. I was once told by a counselloryou areeither a smoker or not, decide what you want to be.. my own mother gave upon the day her brother died from lung cancer, she said she just decided to stop. I hope it can be that simple for you.x
