Advice on quiting cigarettes

Anyone have some good recomendations for quiting smoking cigarettes? I haven't been smoking for that long but I still feel an urge to have one in the evenings and after big meals. I hate the smell, and the morning cough and crap in my chest. I would really rather not use any quit smoking products (gum, patches, perscriptions). Are there other natural ways to quit?

Just quit cold turkey and use your will power! Take the suffering for everything it is worth and don't go back. I was never a smoker but I had my vises and that is how I did it. I went though hell and I came out better on the other end.

No. The only way to quit anything naturally is to just quit it. That mean's go cold turkey--put your cigarette down and don't go back to another.

But you won't be able to do that as long as you have a job and money to buy more cigarettes and access to them.

Therefore, the only way you're going to go cold turkey--no nicotine gum, patches or Wellbutrin (buproprion) prescriptions-- is if you give a friend all your money and let him leave you on an island where the only thing around you is water and sand. Your other alternative would be for him to bury you and leave yo in a hole for a week. Seven days with no means whatsover to get near a cigarette is all the time you need to starve that addiction out of you. Seven days without a cigarette and you will have permanently kicked the habit.

It sounds as though you are a 'light' smoker that hasn't been smoking for years. 'Cold Turkey' should be fairly easy for you.
