I understand that at the momentโฆThe mere thought of quitting might overflow you with hesitation, anxiety, and fear.
So I am going to ask you to put that hesitation aside -just for now.
Why You Need a New Best Way to Quit Smoking Naturally
You see โ all smokers who are trying to quit, find themselves at various levels of STUCK. Iโve been there too.
Thereโs just so many things to change, so many habits to reverse and so much fear about how we can cope with life without our cigarettes!
And with all the methods and products out there, that overpromise and under-deliver, quitting gets really frustrating โ and extremely hard.
Donโt you think?
But it is not your fault โฆLike I say in my TED talk, what you need is a quit smoking solution that makes quitting what itโs supposed to be: easy!
When I was a smoker, I tried to stop many times, and I am not ashamed to admit that I failed miserably every single one of them.
No matter what approach I used.
I felt smoking was my crutch, my stress-aid, and my friend through hard times. I couldnโt imagine my life without it.
Or, at least, thatโs what I told myself.
After I discovered how to quit smoking naturally without feeling stressed and deprived, something great happened:
I smoked my last cigarette, and I felt so happy and free, that I only wished I had done it sooner. (But I will leave this story for another time)
The important thing is that the over 8,400 ex-smokers whoโve used my method, felt the exact same happiness when they quit.
And you can feel it too. As long as you decide to say goodbye to the cigarette friend.
Now you might be thinking, โWell, once you get hooked itโs very hard to let go. Itโs difficult to stop smoking.โ
But why is it so difficult to stop?
Why Quitting Smoking Seems Hard
Reason #1 (and only):
You Try to Quit while You still Desire a Cigarette.
Let me explain.
Most smokers believe they enjoy or even love smoking.
At the same time, they want to quit because smoking has taken a toll on their health, pocket, and freedom.
So hereโs what happens:
You want to stop smoking. You have the desire to quit.
But you also have another desire: the desire to smoke.
So you experience a conflict of desires. You are torn.
Your desire to smoke comes from all the benefits you think you get from smoking.
Think about it.
The reason you like smoking is because you believe it helps you cope with stress and boredom, socialize, enjoy life, take a mental break, keep your hands busy, concentrate, enjoy your โme-timeโ or even manage your weight.
Right?
So why is it so hard to stop?
Well, because on some level you are afraid that if you quit you will lose all those benefits.
Understand this.
The FEAR of feeling anxiety, deprivation, boredom and the fear of losing a source of enjoymentโฆ and the pure habit of holding a cigaretteโฆare the REASONS why you keep on smoking.
And as long as you have reasons to smoke, you will always desire a cigarette.
The problem? When you attempt to quit while still desiring cigarettesโฆ
โฆone thing is bound to happen:
You will quit fearing that the desire to smoke will never go away. And that this feeling of โsomething missing,โ will leave you forever deprived.
I have to tell you, feeling deprived will drag you back to smoking at the drop of a hat.
What makes quitting even harder is forcing ourselves to NOT smoke.
Because when we use our willpower, we suffer.
See, our willpower canโt remove our desire for smoking. The desire for smoking is strong because smoking is an addiction.
And our willpower is LIMITED.
So we cannot try to fight our desire to smoke and our addiction with willpower.
Itโs simply not a fair fight.
Itโs hard.
But if willpower canโt fight our desire to smoke, what do we do?
The only real cure for smoking is not to resist our urge but to obliterate it.
Removing our desire to smoke from the core is the only easy way to quit smoking naturally.
If you try to stop smoking without removing your desire to smoke, then quitting will be extremely hard.
And even if you do quit for a short period of time, you will be feeling deprived and miserable without cigarettes.
Makes sense, right?
But if you think about itโฆ Which method actually removes your desire for a cigarette?
Using the Common Quit Smoking Approaches
If you have ever tried to stop smoking with willpower or other traditional ways, you probably found it very hard to remain smoke-free.
Hereโs why:
Nicotine Products (Nicotine Replacement Therapy + Vaping)
Letโs take nicotine products as an example.
- Stop smoking patches
- Nicotine gums
- Lozenges
- Nicotine inhalers
- And vaping…
ALL keep you addicted to nicotine.
These stop smoking aidsย donโt remove your desire for your smokes.
In fact, they intensifyย this desire.
Plus, substituting cigarettes with other forms of nicotine makes you feel that you are making a sacrifice by quitting.
So when you stop taking these products, you still feel deprived.
Andโฆ You end up smoking again.
Cold Turkey
You may wonder how going cold turkey works out.
When we use our willpower to stop smoking, what we’re actually doing is this:
We first stop smoking and then wait for our desire to smoke to magically fade away by itself.
But it doesnโt.
Instead, we feel deprived, and the thought of a cigarette becomes even more precious.
And sure, you can โtough it,โ for a short while, but you canโt go through life always putting effort to resisting a cigarette!!
Thatโs not how smoke-free life is supposed to be like.
Smoking Pills
And letโs not forget smoking pillsย like Zyban or Chantix.
These chemicals might stop you from smoking for a while.
But they donโt remove the reasons why you smoke. Your desire for a cigarette is still there.
So what do you think happens few days after you stop taking the pills?
Thatโs right. You have a nice smelly cigarette.
So whatโs the answer?
The Best and Easiest Way to Quit Smoking Naturallyย
What all the above approaches have in common is this:
They only try to stop you from smoking cigarettes for a short period.
They donโt remove the fears that keep you lighting up one cigarette after the other.
All the reasons you want to smoke, are still there.
No wonder why quitting seems hard.
Donโt get me wrong. The above methods have helped many smokers quit. This doesnโt mean, though, that they are the easiest and most successful ways to stop smoking.
Itโs like catching a cold and trying to find the right cure. There may beย many ways to fight a cold.
But would you rather use an outdated medicine that has helped few people in the past?
Or use the newest discovery that guarantees you will be cured in the easiest way without any side-effects?
The second of course!
And knowing how to quit smoking naturally is no different.
Please listen. No matter how you choose to quit, you need to know this:
The best way to stop smoking is to stop desiring a cigarette BEFORE you actually stop smoking.
Hereโsย Why:
- Itโs Stress- Free: when you stop enjoying smoking before you quit, you donโt experience stressful cravings.
And you donโt overthink about the situations where you canโt smoke.
So you donโt feel anxious when you donโt have a cigarette.
Because there is nothing to miss.
- Itโs Permanent:ย when you stop desiring cigarettes, you donโt have any cravings.
And you donโt even notice your physical withdrawal from nicotine!
So you donโt experience withdrawal symptomsย like weight gain, irritation, loss of concentration, headaches or fatigue…
Because there are no cravings to cause them in the first place.
- Itโs Easy:ย when you stop craving a smoke before you quit, you canโt possibly feel deprived without cigarettes.
Plus you donโt need to use willpower to stop yourself from smoking.
Because again, there’s nothing to resist.
At this point, youโre probably wondering how you can remove your desire to smoke.
Is there a method that does exactly that?
That eliminates your desire for smoking BEFORE you actually extinguish your last cigarette?
Yes, there is!
Itโs the CBQ quit smoking method.
The Cognitive Behavioral Quitting method โ CBQ โ is a unique sequence of simple scientific techniquesย that removeย your need to smoke.
The CBQ has been developed over a decade of research and testing with the sole purpose of helping smokers quit permanently without:
โขStress & Anxiety
โขFeelings of deprivation
โขGaining weight
โขWillpower
โขAnd without nicotine substitutes and medications.
It has a 94% success rate.
85% of smokers quit permanently on their first attempt, and 9% quit on their second or third attempt.
Over 8,400 smokers have been cured of smoking using the CBQ method.
And it can work for you too!
The CBQ can work for you no matter how long youโve been smoking, how much you smoke and how much you believe you enjoy or need smoking.
And if you believe the saying โOnce a smoker, always a smokerโ let me reassure you that it is a myth.
Being a smoker has been a part of who you are for so longโฆ I get it.
But that doesnโt mean that it has to stay that way.
Think about it like this. At some point in your life, you were a teenager. Now you are not.
Do you ever think to yourself โOnce a teenager, always a teenager?โ
Of course not. Your teens was a phase of your life that passed and gave way to better and greater things.
The same goes for smoking.
Every smoker has the innate ability to become a happy non-smokerโฆAs long as they use a quit smoking method that works.
So why does the CBQ method work?
How to Quit Smoking Naturally with the 4 Stages of the CBQ Method
After researching, studying and modeling the psychology of addiction, I found the exact 4 mental, physical and behavioral stages of quitting smoking. Going through themโฆ is the key to quit smoking naturally and easily.
In other words, the CBQ method works, because it follows the exact 4 stages, our brain gets attached or detached, from a habit or addiction.
Skip one of these stages, and you are guaranteed to fail, or relapse after a while.
But follow these 4 stages, in the right sequence, and you will see your desire for a smoke fade away, day after day. You will see yourself cutting down on your smoking- effortlessly. Itโs science.
The 4 stages of quitting smoking are very simple.
The name of each stage starts with the letter โCโ, so a simple way to remember them is by calling them โthe 4Cs.โ
They are:
Stage 1. Choose to Quit
This stage prepares you to quit so you can make a real decision and commit to quitting smoking.
Ok, letโs say you made a real firm decision to quit. Now, what? Do you just try to resist cigarettes with willpower or buy a pack of nicotine gums?
No.
Stage 2. Change Your Mindset
In this stage, you change how you think about smoking and remove the fears stopping you from becoming a non-smoker so you can believe that quitting is possible and believe that you can do it.
Believing that you CAN stop smoking is key to succeeding.
Stage 3. Change Your Smoking Pattern
In this stage, you break your smoking habit, eliminate your desire for smoking and smoke your last cigarette.
A big part of this stage is knowing how to cope with your emotions and feel relaxed without a cigarette.
Stage 4. Condition Your Smoke-Free Life.
This stage ensures you remain a happy non-smoker for the rest of your life without feeling deprived, suffering from stress and gaining weight.
Now, you know the 4 essential stages you need to follow so you can quit smoking naturally.
But follow the sequence (Choose-Cultivate-Change-Condition). Donโt mix up the stages.
My team and I have tested this method again and again on all kinds of smokers.
And I can promise you this:
Following these steps in the right sequence will take you from a lifetime of smoking to a healthy smoke-free life radiant with joy. A life you deserve!
Best thing? They are incredibly easy.

Anabel says
Iโve been a smoker since I was concibe. On 2016 I quit and was smoke free for 1yr 3mo. When Hurricane Maria hit our island, a very stressful moment, I started again. Also, 6 months after quitting I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in stage 3. Five years later still under treatment with oral quimo. Right now I really donโt know why I smoke (fear, routine, others). In the last months Iโve been playing with the idea of becoming a smoke free person. I think Iโm ready to start. Thanks, thanks, thanksโฆ
Terri says
I so appreciate you sharing the logic of addiction to help me understand what needs to happen first to be successful! I have tried all the nicotine replacements, the pills and cold turkey and I've always reverted back to smoking-so very frustrating. They were all temporary fixes that 'may' have worked while taking them but did not sustain me afterwards. I even tried hypnoses with no positive results. This is all so logical and scientifically sound advice AND its free-I love it!!! And best of all look forward to be smoke free very soon!!!
