So i did something,which friends and family thought i could never do ...

Well after smoking a pack(Dunhill) every 2 days for 7 years straight.I have offically quit smoking its been almost 48 hours since i had my last smoke.Well im using the NicoDerm Patch trust me it works.So happy,in 2 more weeks i'll be joining a gym and its going to be strict workout from then on.

good for you! stay off that shit...

it will definitely kill you, if not make your breath and clothes stink, and turn off potential mates.

enjoy your new healthy life!

Wow awesome. I want to quit smoking badly too. I should try this out...but great job !! I hope you keep it up...

I honestly never understood this shit - why do people always make a big deal out of this? This notion...that quitting cigarettes is like next to impossible.

Before someone goes on a rant about how addictive nicotine is, I'll save you the trouble � I know exactly what it does to your nervous system, and the effects it generates. But the thing that boggles my mind is...

Honestly, I'm sick of hearing this from every other person that 'wants to quit'; I think it's absolutely pathetic.

Now granted, I want to reiterate that I understand fully, the craving factor. However, I have great respect for self-control, discipline, willpower...call it what you want. When I hear people talk about how their parents, girl/boy friends, spouse, family etc... and how they're being affected by that individuals smoking habits, and their inability to stop � I mean wtf, if you can't force yourself to stop smoking for the people closest to you...wtf are you good for?

anyway, this wasn't directed at the author of this thread. Good luck to you...
I'm just sick of hearing about people who want to stop smoking...but can't show any fucking restraint, even when their family is involved � heck if not for anyone else, these idiots can't even stop for their own sake. It's like, YOU KNOW you're shortening your lifespan, but apparently that's not a compelling enough reason for you to make a decision to seriously stop killing yourself.

i'm not saying this is all in your head...what I am saying is, okay yeah so it takes like treatments and support to help someone stop...but can someone honestly say, that the majority of people who 'want to quit' have used every resource available to them? fuck no man, most of them just keep talking.

if you seriously want to quit, there is a world of support aroud you (if you know...you can't show any form of willpower for your family) so what's stoping you from reaching out?

God i'm still a little drunk, but I stand behind what I said.

i can never understand the deep intense cravings people feel for cigarettes. for me i honestly only feel cravings around other smokers

i quit in 2005 cold turkey

I consciously quit smoking February 2005 and have not been corrupted again. If only I could quit all forms of illicit drugs for good. LOL

My lungs are so AWESOME now that I've taken up swimming and will try jogging in the very future...

January 14th 2005 and haven't touched one since...

Most difficult thing I did - lost my short-term memory for 6 months and my asthma isn't really any better but I smell great!

The benefits of giving up are definitely hyped IMO but who cares what the benefits are, smoking is shit.

I have never smoked a cig in my life but I don't discount the effort people need to make to stop -some more than others. Just like with anything else, some people simply have a more addictive personality.

And I can appreciate people saying they want to quit, but havent actually done so - for many it's a huge effort and time commitment and the side effects are not pleasant. It's not like losing weight or exercising, which can have some enjoyment...I've seen parents and grandparents and friends struggle with quitting smoking and it's not a fun ride.

Personally it just boggles my mind how much people spend on this stuff. I am so relieved I never started...I have enough other things to waste my money on! heh.

Congrats on your success with it, PB...

This is quite fascinating, would you mind elaborating? I'm quite intrigued by this phenomenon.

September 2004 for me. Never gone back, never get a craving, nothing. Willpower works as long as you set your mind to it

my parents never a raised a quitter.....obviously some parents did raise a bunch of quitters....If you start something you should see it through to the end....thats the problem with this younger generation....never see anything through to the end. In my day we would smoke two packs of smokes before we got out of bed.

Quiet you.

Been a slightly bad boy and had just one cig everyday for last 2 weeks. When everyone around you smokes and you're stressed out and sometimes drunk, hard to resist that cig.

Saw a pack of Dunhills for sale couple of days ago and never been so tempted... (But willpower won)

Thanks for the kind words everyone I havent felt this good about myself in ages.


I know i suck at will power,but hey not everyone is the same right some are strong some arent.

Dood if a guy like me who used to wake up wash his face and light up a cig and smoke all day and just before going to bed light up the last one LOL can quit, i think anyone with no will can quit as well ....This stuff if good you wear a patch for like 24 hours and you dont crave for a cig at all.If you(or,anyone) need more info on this pm me, i'll be more than happy to help with this.



Cheer's

I'll congratulate you in 2 weeks then
Good luck!

Quit cold turkey just over 3 weeks and probably have saved a couple hundred bucks already.

Three ways I know to quit smoking:

1) Eat a cigarette whole. Filter and all.

2) Smoke half a pack and then chug as much milk you can. You will throw up and never be able to stand the smell of cigaratte smoke again.

3) Whenever you get a craving exhale as hard as you can. More than half of what you smoke is air.

LOL... Interesting

I quit July 2005... cold turkey

Now i only smoke when i am on vacation or when i am partying. Bieng a regular smoker is terrible, such a stupid habbit.

My advice to you is not to touch even one smoke for at least 6 months to a year. After that time i believe that you will regain your self control.

If you quit, you've wasted $17,444 with nothing to show for it. Might as well go back to the habit.

Just dont smoke... forget about it. Dont go outside while your friends are smoking. After one night of partying and not smoking any cigarettes, you will be suprised how much better you feel the next day.

Maybe try smoking some grass if you are realy craving the feeling of smoke in your lungs.
