Re: Trying to quit smoking!!

i dont see why quit?.. i mean why the fuck did u start out to beggin with, u knew it was bad...

if u really want to quit, see a therapist, get on the patch, or call a help line..

and dont wank off, that will just be like having sex, u need a smoke afterwards

im glad I don't smoke.

I always talked to my roommate about the best method to quit smoking.

"You have to quit cold turkey, its the best. I've done it a million times."

samething as that other quote....but form someone I knwo.

its all in your head

do whatever you can to keep your mind of ciggys.
go work out some more.
long runs are always good.

while your trying to quit stay away from all your friends that smoke.
and make sure you don't drink, that will kill any will power you have.

Like everyone else has said, you've just gotta do it cold turkey. If you go onto patches, you're just trading one addiction for another.

I quit about 10 weeks ago and I can tell you that the cravings don't get any stronger once you've gone three days without a cigarette (that is, if you can last 72 hours, you should be able to last for ever). Just get the idea of "one more cigarette" out of your head - pretend that every cigarette on Earth has been irradicated or something. So long as you think "just one more" the cravings will be ten times worse than if you know you're never going to touch another cigarette again.

Just stick to it and make sure you don't smoke at all. In a couple of weeks you'll be looking back and thinking "why the fuck did I do that shit to my body?" and by this point - no matter how much you crave another cigarette you - won't want another one. I enjoy being a non-smoker more than I enjoyed being a smoker and you will too if you can just ride out this initial rough patch.

yeh the thing about smoking is the actual physical addiction only lasts for 3 days, the rest is all behavioural or mental addiction.. if you think of it like that it makes it easier

One of my friend's uncle quit after smoking for about half of he's life. It was a strange way to quit too - everytime he had a nicotine craving, he would eat those ultra-sour candies [they are called War-Heads in Australia]. These lollies gives your taste buds an ultra burst of sourness for about 8 seconds or so, and it seems to lower the cravings for him hehe... Only problem now is that instead of craving for nicotine, he craves for teh lollies

not trying to hijack the thread but what happened to WARHEADS?!?!??! i used to love them, and then boom they disapeared wtf?!?!

Posted by KilldaDJ on Apr-08-2004 17:10:

i havent smoked since saturday...ran out of fags...no money to buy them, so effectively ive given up.

however i am kinda craving for one now, but my will power will see me thru this

if i get free baccy or fags then i will smoke them, no point letting them go to waste eh?

u can give up, i can give up, anyone can give up.

all u need is will power.

i havent had a smoke for about a month, and i dont plan on starting up again either!

i use the nicorette gum, works for me...

Posted by mmilo on Apr-08-2004 21:19:

Yeah, I quit about a month ago. Thank f'n god.
The cravings are pretty much gone now.

Adding to what's already been said ...

Try find a larger goal to quit, if possible. It's more than just saying "I want to quit to be healthy".
For example, is there any sport you particularly like? Make a friend of yours a rival in the sport. You won't surpass him till you quit smoking.
.... that might be a somewhat weak example, but I hope you get my point.

yeah again not trying to hijack but waht did happen, the cool thing to do for my school when i was young was to see how many you could hold down till the sourness went away, i forgot my record

about the smoking thing, my dad quit cold turkey when he started a family. he says its hard but you get over it eventually and like the aformentioned make something up like all ciggarettes are gone on earth or add up all the money you spent on cigs and see how much you save, there was a tax boost in our state so its like a pack a day you save something like an extra 200 a year on cigs if you buy the packs seperate[er dont know the brand]

I stopped completely around 6 months ago. For some reason instead of a cigarrette, I just ate & it works fine.

I hate smokers who can't quit. Just shows how freakin' weak you are.

I used to be a big social smoker, never got totally addicted to the point where I smoke half a pack a day or something.. But I know that feeling, but if you think about how shitty your lungs feel and like, take shrooms or something. You'll quit.

Posted by wienerschnitzel on Apr-10-2004 07:42:

try eating sunflower seeds. When i quit i became addicted to them because it gave my hands and mouth something to do and i kept focused on trying to seperate the shell from the seed so it helped keep my mind off it...

Posted by Inertia on Apr-10-2004 08:19:

to add a lil spice to the thread, post, why the hell did you start in the first place? as trancer already did, to keep the trend.

id like to know the different reasons, because when i go out in groups with my club friends, we're about 14, but im the ONLY ONE who does not smoke. never have put a cig near my mouth. dont plan to either. now everyone my age is starting to smoke (i'm 16) in order to look cool, i don't understand what is cool about inhaling toxic gases, and paying to do so. i suggest they stick their mouths on exthaust pipes, at least that way theyd save some cash. i guess it wouldn't be as cool, as they couldnt carry it around, or at least if they did it wouldnt be producing any more smoke.

what i'd really like to know is HOW THE HELL you get hooked. i understand that supposedly, the first time you smoke, you never like it, and you cough. if this is as true as most people declare it to be, why the hell do you go for a second time?

Posted by arctic on Apr-10-2004 08:43:

Moral of the story: don't start in the first place - unless you're into lung cancer of course.

yeah those social smokers are hilarious, they consider half a pack a day total addiction, and suggest taking "shrooms or something" to quit

you couldnt tell addiction if crawled out your ass and bit your nose, get the fuck outta here, your input was worthless
