This is it, I'm doing it and not looking back! I used to smoke well over a pack a day for years now. Yesterday I tested the waters and only had 5 cigs which was not that easy. Today I figure ill push myself all the way since its the fastest way to get rid of all the nicotine dependency in my system.
Just one day of feeling like shit should do the trick for the most part.

u jealous?

yea actually :/

lol lemme know how you do :], tried knocking mine on the head a few times but never took it seriously, felt like complete arse for the entire time i wasnt smoking tho, not just the 1 day :/

best of luck mucka

and yea cold turkey is the only way i reckon, anything else and youre just kidding yourself

post in this thread a week from now.
u mad?..

VERY .. I just cannot seem to be able to quit

Cold turkey is the best way, but just make sure to get rid of any paraphernalia relating to smoking too, like ashtrays and lighters. Bin all of them.
Also, be prepared for a very angry week.

And you WILL still have cravings or dreams related to smoking a LONG time after giving up. I gave up completely about 6 years ago, and even now I still occasionally have dreams about smoking.
And by completely, I mean completely. I'm not one of these people who gave up but has a crafty fag on special occasions. I know if I did that, I'd be back smoking again in no time at all.

I got lucky and totally lost the taste for it. I can barely choke down a full cigarette unless I'm drinking now.

Best of luck.

The couple of times I successfully quit smoking the thing I found helped me the most was just telling myself that I'd have one later. I was able to quit fairly easily, my problem was staying away from them when I got stressed out.
I haven't smoked in years, but I still dip about a can of Copenhagen a day, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

I enjoy turkey, either cold or hot.

I never got into smoking, what's the point?

makes u look cool

The first two or three days are the worst physical craving wise, but it's doable to get past. Then you have to start working on the triggers, which I found way worse. For me, one was that I would smoke in the car, and I always had one lit by the stop sign at the end of my street. It's harder to break triggers than the nicotine, I think. I still cave and have a few if I'm drinking or after smoking some pot.

Just don't smoke that first cig and you'll be good

Smoking seems silly...spend money on drink instead.

Get a buzz, fill a void, fight boredom, calm your nerves, fit in socially, impress someone, peer pressure, have an addiction, etc...

why does there need to be one ?, i actually quite enjoy smoking, the downside is what it does to your health... if there werent any disadvantages id have a fag in every hole 24/7

you got a problem with fags ?, take it outside

I've had smoke blown in my face since i was a baby, I got a carton of cigarettes for christmas when i was 16.
Not one in my family does not smoke and my mom just got throat cancer last year.

Zyban works, It makes cigarettes taste like shit and Zero satisfaction from smoking.. If i had kept with the program i would be smoke free.

Bought an electronic cigarette 3 months ago, that did not work.

I will quit but not today, i said yesterday.

Good luck, i just quit cold turkey on sunday, i'm at the point where the nicotine is out of my system, and it feels great

I think that is what got me to start. My grandma chain-smoked unfiltered Pal-Mals and I was always spending time over at their house playing games and stuff. I loved the second hand smoke.

Do it dude, I quit cold turkey too and I don't regret it. I was smoking a pack and a half a day it was rediculous. Just stick to it and if you go back just keep trying to quit. Or do what I do and smoke weed all day too...

1.5 packs a day? fuck man. I guess i'm lucky, I smoked about a pack every 3 days, except on weekends it was about 3/4 pack a day.

Edit: In Sept. I'm back in the gym, been on a 1.5 year hiatus from working out. Still play baseball, hockey and my job is somewhat labour instensive. So i'm buy no means a chub, but I'm no longer the 7% bodyfat machine I was 2 years ago

yeah not trying to poke fun at myself but when you go out drinking everynight you smoke like a chimney so you know... life in the clubs and all

edit: oh and poker... man... pretty much one every other hand lol.

My ex-stepdad smoked FIVE PACKS A DAY. He had a massive heart attack, has had tons of circulation problems in his legs, brain surgery, and lots of lung problems. FIVE packs a fucking day. That's one every two minutes over the course of a 16 hour day. One in his hand, and one or two burning in ashtrays all day long. It's a miracle he's still alive.
