I tried tapering off, the buddy system, relaxation exercises, even affirmations.
What means by his methods? Especially "relaxation exercises, even affirmations". I don't grasp the meaning of these two methods? Can you give some explanation?

Sorry I made a spelling mistake.
The title shuld have been "A man wanted to quit smoking."

Any my question is that "What the specific meanings of these methods?especially the last two."

tapering off means smoking less over time until you quit
the buddy system is having a friend quit with you for support
relaxation exercises could be many things, meditation, controlled breathing
affirmations refers to positive suggestions either thought, spoken or maybe written down as little notes, something like "you can do this", "one day at a time"

@Nancy88,
What means by his methods?

This is not idiomatic English, Nancy. When we ask in this fashion we use either,

What does [____] mean? // What do [__] and [__] mean?

What is meant by [__]?
