Help! Want to stop smoking. have tried all throughout my life.?

Issue
Started smoking when I was 13, I am 47 now. So far no health problems that I have noticed. But I know they can't be far away. Whenever I have tried I gain weight. Not just a little. I am talking anywhere from 30-80 pounds. I have a weight problem as it is. I smoke up to 3 packs a day. I tried the raw veggie thing years ago, but know I have had my top teeth pulled so can not chew them. Did that patches & gum. Went to my Dr. he told me that pill (can't think of the name, it starts with a Z) is all in the head. I have come to the conclusion that a padded room with no way out might be the last thing. Just a figure of speach. To seclude myself from the outside world. So if there is anyone that has another idea please let me know. I will try anything.

Best Tip

GOD BLESS YOU HONEY!!!! I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING OUT THERE. NOTHING WORKED. Any one who smokes knows that they should quit. But as we know it is harder than the non smokers make it out to be!!!

I THINK IF DOCTORS CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING FOR THE HEROIN ADDICTION PEOPLE, THEY CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING FOR US. OR MAYBE THEY WOULD LOOSE MONEY?????

for some people patches work real well. but i think its also pure determination! just GO for it and QUIT! join a group with other people quitting for support. keep a journal and reward yourself. but watch wut u eat, b\c it is easy to gain weight here. but you can always lose weight, quitting is worth it. good luck!
One of my co-workers has a sister that is 50 and has just been diagnosed with emphysema. Quit now, long, slow, painful death should be motive enough. My Aunt died at 49 of lung cancer. She weighed 105 when she was diagnosed, but she was strong as a horse and lived another two years. She weighed 60 pounds when she died and suffered incredibly. Do you and your family a favor and quit while you might still have a chance to save yourself. For all you smokers out there, you might as well have yourself shot up with cancerous drugs for all the damage you are doing with smoking. Show some backbone and respect for your families and quit today.
Go Commit A Small Misdemenor Don't pay bail sit in Jail 20 or so days. When you get out you will have a better chance at looking at it. It will be all out of your system and after all that maltreatment u'll feel good.
Try getting hypnotized. My mom did it, and she stopped.
All I can say is you just are not ready to quit. You either put a cigarette in your mouth or you dont. unless someone is following you around and shoving them in your mouth you are doing it. or maybe you have a compulsive disorder and you cant stop sticking things in your mouth. If you can control your behavior in other areas then you can stop sticking things in your mouth. the only other reason you smoke is because you want to more than not. People quit everyday your not unique just weak.
