if you are quitting smoking, why?
just go outside, walk past all the smokers and take a 10 minute walk or something..
obviously being around smokers is temptation.. i made it almost 6 months of going with the guys for their smoke break and just chatting.. but then when bad stuff started to happen to the project, i fell for the same hook again, thought i could have a smoke when i wanted since it's all mental addiction, but that doesn't jive because i don't want to smoke. one cigarette tells your mind that you want a smoke, which means you haven't _really_ decided to stop.
i have fallen for the "1 cigarette" hook twice now.. shame on me.. |

I have A question..
A friend of mine quit smoking two years ago using Nicorette...
I am happy she quit but now she is addicted to nicorette and has been chewing it regularly since... :wtf:
I know it's better for her lungs but she is still getting the same amount of nicotine...
Is it still bad? |

This is the book i was talking about. It really does the trick. |
i was recommended this book by a friend who had tried dozens of times and failed.. stopped right after reading the book (as always occurs).. he stopped before I stopped last time.. he must be closing in on 1 year without smoking..
i liked this book so much i bought 5 copies and left them on the lunchroom table at christmas.. they were all gone at the end of the day.. |

You will have to go cold turkey with smoking because it's the only way to quit (no joke). |
100% true, but this is because you don't "manage to quit" smoking.. you "decide to stop" smoking.. anybody who succeeds using gum/patch only managed to make that same decision.. |

whether it's still bad I'm not sure.. I'm sure a quick google would tell you the answer tho..
what i do know is this relates directly to my above post.. she still has the mental addiction to nicotine.. |

i was dating a girl once, and she didnt tell me she was a social smoker. One night out at a bar, i go to kiss her, and boom smoke! i was disgusted!!!!
the next thing she said was "that doesnt bother you does it?" lol. oh it bothers me alright. |

Acupuncture points (in the ear) have been proven to significantly help relieve the craving of nicotine.
I recently read an article too that they can now stimulate the same pressure points with the TheraLasers (low-intensity healing lasers) that chiropractors and sports medicine ppl use to do the same thing, only more effectively.
If I was addicted to smoking, it'd strongly consider that.
Ill try to find literature on this and I'll post it here. It's fascinating and marvelous.

I just had a beer (one of those big, 710ml ones) and I'm getting a HUUUUGE craving!! :(
I think I'm gonna go buy smokes in a second cause I can't take it anymore. I'm like having an argument with myself...
"no, i'm not smoking"
"oh come on peter, u know u want it. plus, you'll end up having a smoke anyways so just spare yourself the torment and lets go buy some smokes!"
it's like Gollum in Lord of the Rings :nervous: :nervous:
somebody save me!!!!
ps. beach420; check your PM's please!! :) |

so do you want a smoke, or do you think you want one?
do you want to [insert cons of smoking here] to yourself for a smoke or are you fooling yourself you need the effect of a smoke? |
