How to solve this health problem?如何解決這個問題

Go cold turkey and never light up another cigarette. It will be tough, but it is the smartest thing smokers ever did in their lives. (直接停止吸煙。Cold Turkey作為一個俗語，它的意思可不是冷火雞肉。Cold turkey作為俗語的意思是指一些人突然終止某種已經(jīng)成隱的習(xí)慣，如非法吸毒、酗酒或抽煙等.)

Ween yourself off is the best. Cold turkey will just drive you back to smoking, because it will drive you crazy so fast, you'll want one, and you're hooked again. Just start off with a number, and work your way down each week until you hit zero.(慢慢戒，循序漸進，逐步遞減數(shù)量：Ween off )

THINK of family members every time they want to smoke. According to psychologists one way of changing is motivation. If people have strong motivation to change, change will likely to happen to you.(精神勝利法)

Stay busy, because your hands and your mind is too used to having them filled with a cigarette. Hard candies work well too. (分散注意力法。使自己忙起來。)

Psyche yourself to the point that smoking will never be an option for you--that it is detrimental to your lifestyle and your loved ones. But watch your temper--you can lose it quickly during the throes of quitting.(精神勝利法)

Rid your house of all ashtrays and tobacco products. Take plenty of vitamin C, drink grapefruit juice regularly, if you can, and brush your teeth immediately after every meal.(飲食療法)

It's hard for everybody to quit smoking, and often pure willpower isn't enough. Try getting a patch or some nicotine gum, and take less and less of it every week. Eventually you will be used to so little nicotine you will be able to stop taking the patch/gum altogether!.(輔助療法：戒煙貼或香煙口香糖)

If that stuff isn't for you, maybe try eating sunflower seeds or chewing regular gum .!.(替代品療法：吃瓜子或普通口香糖)
