Or have you given up?
I am hoping to give up but am already very dependant.
I was wondering what method y'all think is best :dunno:
I really really wanna give up because i have seen the effects it has on both your inside and out :cry:

yes
i smoke half a pack/a pack a day.
trying to smoke a little less

used to do a pack a day...why? idk really, i liked it, it was relaxing a bit, it was one thing i didnt have to think about.

people started bitching...how i stopped... i outed it mid cigarette and gave away the rest of the box.

the end. pretty independent person i guess...i think dependency is disgusting.

meh but im sure i could have a smoke without going crazy for them
I'll leave my mark in this world

I don't & never smoke coz I believe it's not good for health... bad for skin complexion... bad breath... caused some lung problem & disease... etc..

I quit smoking the first time in a very similar way to Simone, just one day put it out half way through and didnt smoke again for like 6 months. Mind you i did not do because people were bitching etc?? I do not let other peoples judgements affect me, i enjoyed smoking cause it was relaxing and calming.

I again am going to quit, just need to be in the right state of mind to do it, will power is the only way!

Best thing though, make sure you quit at a time where you are able to keep busy and in not so much stress!

Good luck

Looks like I am the heavy around here, I do at least 2 packs a day including waking up at night and also having a smoke.
I did stop once for two years but started again after I realized that the craving is there to stay. Felt the same craving for a smoke after 2 years as I did the day after I gave up.
Just did not feel like living with this craving for the rest of my life.
I do realize it is a nasty habit and will not smoke in my house or car if I have other non-smoking people with me.
I do not drink though as I hate not feeling in absolute control of myself at all times, same reason why I have no time for drugs.
In my enviroment smoking is no big deal but I can imagine living in a country where smoking is banned nearly everywhere it could be a issue.
Regards to all
And good luck to those smokers that wants to give up.

I may not be a model, but I can tell you that I definitely don't smoke. Growing up with older siblings, parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents who did smoke quite often will leave you annoyed with smoking after a while. I won't even go into most bars because of the smell of smoke!

I quit 5 years ago after trying to quit many times. I was getting sick all the time and realised that I had to give up for good. I read a book on quitting, can't remember the name of it. The basic concept was that the first couple of weeks are the worst. If you can get through 2 weeks then you know that each day becomes a little easier. The main incentive now becomes knowing that taking just one cigarette at this point puts you back to square one and you have to go through the pain of those first 2 weeks all over again. Therefore everytime I got the craving I told myself I would be giving up on all the hard work I had been through for the last x number of days. Before you know it you are 1 month free, 2 months, 6 months, 1 year etc. The bottom line here is you really have to want to quit to make it work but it worked for me which is more than I can say for gum and patches.
Trust me it takes a long time to completely be craving free. Even 5 years on I still enjoy the smell, but no way do I ever intend to take one.
btw also switched to eating ice cream when I got cravings and put on 50lbs. Have now managed to lose 30lbs of that. My sick days have gone down to zero and no more bouts of pneumonia. For me quitting was one of the hardest and most rewarding things I have ever done.

sometimes. but i think i should stop now.


Have never fancied smoking n have no intentions of smoking in the near future..actually i find it disgusting...so help me God..I dont wanna go that direction:saint:

:D ice cream..everytime u got a craving..darn..that's a speedy/high rate of ice cream intake:lol: u r lucky that u didnt add more than that..nway th good thing is that u managed

I started at 24... late I guess... but stopped at 25.

I noticed small physiological withdrawal effects when I had a two week break on a shoot in the snowfields of north Japan.

It was so cold I didn't want to take my gloves off - LOL.

Anyway, I figured if I am getting headaches and mouth ulcers, sleeplessness, etc NOW - then it's better to give up then in another year or 20.... as my Dad had to at 50 because he was having heart problems that they said were directly from his heavy smoking.

I had no mental addiction, so it wasn't hard to beat. A few times a year I may still have one cig if I am particularly in the mood - sometimes I smoke cigars actually - but rarely... anyway...

I have heard a few times that the key to beating it is to take up "non-smoking".

The thought process being, if you consider yourself a smoker "trying" to quit or cut down, then there is room to have a couple here and there, or indeed a packet here and there.

If you take up non-smoking... when you are offered a cig, your answer is not "I'm trying to quit" but " I don't smoke" . ONce you choose not to smoke, you won't.

I mean, if you don't buy them, you can only get them when offered - and if you "don't smoke" - then you shouldn't have an issue.

The gum helped my Dad though. Maybe good to ween off the nicotine cravings etc.

Good luck.

It's up to you not us.

Smoker. I smoke toooo much. Yesterday a pack + half :S
This is because I'm stressed and nervous.. :(
Actually I'm trying to quit smoking. Today just one - yeeeah :muscle:
While we are sleeping, angels have conversations with our souls.

HHmmmm.... Bump....

Yeah, Karl, almost the cost of a 40D. My relatives love you smokers. They grow tobacco in North Carolina. I grew up in the stuff. The chemicals they use to control pests and plant growth are part of the problem in my estimation.

In the days when we only put DDT on it to kill bugs and trimmed the plants by hand, I never had a moment of sickness. After the new poisons were mandated and a chemical was developed that killed suckers (offshoots that reduce leaf production), I'd get sick regularly working in the fields.

Then there's all the stuff they add after it goes to the cigarette manufacturers...

Quite frankly, I believe if it were left alone to grow how nature intended it, it wouldn't be as harmful. When we were in Paris we visited a botanical garden that had some tobacco plants grown on manure fertilizer. The leaf smelled wonderful and I could rub the leaves and not have any sensations of tingling or after effect of nausea.
If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try!

I had a relative, who smoke 1 cigarette a day. But once he decided to count how much money did he spend on it per year… The same day he stopped and didn’t smoke until the end of his life.
That’s because he had a strong will…or maybe was just sparing enough.

I do not smoke...it's so bad for your skin and your health!!
My mother almost died from smoking, so I am EXTREMELY against it!!
It makes people smell disgusting and honestly makes people look disgusting...
I hope I don't offend anyone by what I said, I just do not think smoking is attractive.:dunno:

I used to smoke regularly ~15 cigs/day from 17-23 and quit cold turkey (several attempts though) until I was 29. After a messy break-up I started again, but not as heavily as before, and just recently have stopped again. It has been over a month since I bought a pack but have relapsed a coupla times while drinking alcohol. The trick is to never have one again, because one will lead to another. Just like any substance abuse issue, you must admit to yourself that you're an addict first and come up with reasons why to quit. Health, economics ($8.50/pack in NYC), hygiene, etc and each time you have a craving you have to convince yourself not to give in and cite the reasons why you quit in the first place. After a while, the physical addiction dissipates and only have the mental side to deal with. Go for walks when you have a craving, that can help too.

On a side note, just about all the girls on this site are smoking. Smoking hot that is!!!

I recently became a non- smoker, and those who say it is a mind over matter issue are right- the power of thought is really what works best. I used a new product called Chantix and it worked well for me, though some side affects - mainly nausea ... I was also irritable and still have occurances of being on edge - now three weeks without Chantix or any smoking. I kinda want a cigarette.. but I just have to get my mind off it -(anything working with hands is a good distraction) after a few the craving fades and you just keep being a non smoker...
it is rough that many of my friends still smoke, and I find the hardest time to fight the cravings is when I have a latte' .....

I once knew a guy that had quit smoking for twenty years. He used to say that he hadn't quit smoking, but that he just hadn't had a cigarette for twenty years. He said the craving never really went away.

never smoked and never will smoke.i hate how the cigarettes smell and i know that are not good for our health
