The Stop Smoking Program: A program I used when I was a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and it helped a lot of people.


1.  The first thing you want to do is decide if you have the Desire to quit smoking.  You first need a desire to change the bad habit.

2.  After you have decided to quit smoking you can move onto signing the agreement form, a certificate that explains what to do and the party at the end if you do everything in the contract.

3. The person that wants to quit smoking signs the contract and gets all the ash-trays in the house and hands them to the person in charge of the program. (A person in charge must be a non-smoker motivated to help and cheer on the smoker) The smoker will also get all the packs of cigarettes and squash them and tear them apart and throw them in the trash--this lets the smoker tell himself I am in control and bigger than the cigarette and will follow through with this program.

4.  The program will last two-weeks with no smoking, if the smoker has a major craving and needs help he will call the non-smoker.

5.  All signs of smoking need to be out of the house.  The house needs to be cleaned and homemade signs of the dangers and bad things that cigarettes do to the body can be posted throughout the house.

6.  Every morning the person will gargle with a strong cinnamon mouthwash and will brush his/her teeth.
Coffee needs to be eliminated as well because this will trigger a need for a cigarette. Vitamin C is critical to recovery and to help eliminate some of the build up in the lungs. Drink orange juice in the morning and eat a healthy breakfast.

7.  Eating a healthy diet is also key and the person needs to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and have healthy snacks throughout the day. Fruits and Vegetables are important to eat.

8. Prayer is also essential and the person needs to pray to God and the beginning of the program and will keep close to God throughout the two weeks by praying morning and night and at mealtime and also pray throughout the day for strength to overcome the addiction to cigarettes.
