I smoked for 15 years. During that time quit a few times, longest was for a year and a half. Been off for over 6 months now. On my 5th attempt. Yeah I want to smoke, especially when I'm out drinking. I even go out with my buddies when they go out to smoke. But I hold steady. Sucks. And it probably will for a long time. My friends quit together for 9 years and now they can't quit, tried a few times. Cold turkey did it for me this time. Actually I dipped a little bit after I stopped smoking just for a week or so.

dipping is better than smoking

Smoking constricts blood vessels. After being two months clean you should notice about a 15% increase in your cardio. It will feel great and you have much to look forward to-remember that.

Never smoked Never will. That shit should the Schedule III drug but go figure. Lost too many family members from that garbage.

get the gum for emergencies!!!!

Those electric cigarettes helped me so much

Just had to reply and say two things:

1. "Smoke em if you got em"

2. Extra small silkies

I smoked on and off from 14 to 17 and steady , pack aday or more of newports from 19 to 32. Patches are worrhless what do you do when you have a craving,? Rub the patch? Its either too much or not eniugh. So what i told.my self was . fuk it i'm addicted to nicotine i need my nicotine no matter what. but if you look up re constituted tobacco . cigs are cracked out with ammonia to free base the nicotine. true shit. So that only works to free base the nicotine if its smoked . I boought a 250 pack of nicorrette. I said fuk it i dont care if i have to chew this shit fir a year im gunna wean down. Which.is possible with the gum cause the nicotine is a slower version.
Chewd a whole piece everytime i wanted to smoke. The first three days suk until the fast acting nicotine leaves the brain . but after that the gum is enough. Slowly weened from 10-15 whole pieces a day to a few then to half pieces then to none. My new
addiction is beef jerky. I dont ever crave a cig but maybe think about one once a month and am like ha never agin .
the fire retardant they add to fsc's makes that an easy decision.

I'm two and ahalf years this time. First time went six months got in an arguement with wife and stole a cig from her. ha it was her fault i relaapsed right? I would smoke ajoint before a cig.

It helped me to look up depressing stories on utube of black lungs and early death. and i remeber a scientist shooting a rabbit with nic and said watch the ear. in five seconds all the veins in the rabbits ear shrunk so tiny the dissapeared. imagine peripheral aretery disease. no thanks.

just being in acar witha smoker makes me nauseous. u dont realize how powerful it is until you have no tolerance again.

good lucjk you can do it

I am a smoker who is working on quiting myself, my father quit smoking by replacing his cig with sour candies, im gonna try using peppermints. keep me posted this is encouragement for me ;)

I also quit and I thank god I did it

I quit for almost 6 years, and should quit again, but when I did quit, it was cold turkey, and I did it by using this little bit of info... a cig craving only lasts about 30 seconds, and I told myself I could tolerate anything for 30seconds... once I put that 30 second tidbit in my mind I had no issues with the cold turkey... wasnt until I blew up a $15,000 motor in the Pete in the middle of nowhere that I went and started again :(

It helps to change your mind. You are not a smoker anymore. These things you will go through are annoying but are also temporary. Every day the cravings and the sides become less powerful. Remember you are not a smoker anymore, you gave smoking it's time! And now you don't smoke. As long as you agree that you are not a smoker than you won't smoke. You are not a smoker who is trying to quit! You are a non-smoker! Hell you hate the smell of cigarettes!

Do not give up!

Either cold turkey it or don't bother. Quit for 2 years, been smoking again for 3.

I stopped by just stopping, I didnt want to smoke any more so that made it really easy.
I was a hardcore smoker at a pack a day sometimes 2 packs a day smoker for around 5 years. I feel like I did before I started smoking and its been around 5 years since I quit cold ass turkey. Its not as hard as you are telling yourself it is, Its not hard at all, People that tell me they cant quit because its too hard dont know what hard really is.

Get your mind straight and be strong, its all in your head brother.

Tried to quit several times over the years...I was always to proud to try pills, patches, gum, etc... Want to know how I quit? I humbled myself. Wellbutrin and a few drags off one of those "gay ecig's" when feel like I really need a cigarette. Fact is, you have to find something that will work for you.

I know people that have smoked 10 + years and they all quit by taking a pill I think is called chantex!! But it has weird sides . They all Said after month they could hold a pack in theyre dang hands all day and not even think of lighting one up.. look into it man people swear on it being amazing

CIGARS!

Keep going bro! High five! Chew the hell outta gum too. Builds a strong tongue....girls like that too. Lol

smoke weed =)

Best thing you can do , is stay away from the booze, thats how I always went back.

EASIEST fucking thing i have ever had to stop, i read this book called "the easy way to stop smoking" and i swear it was like magic. After 6 years of smoking, i just stopped right after i finished that book.

hardest fuckin thing EVER. literaly i think ever. i love smoking i wanna quit. but i love it and always will. quit for a month and it was the best ive ever felt. but then i gained a ton of weight when i swithched to candy bars cuz i was depressed about cigs so i started smoking again and started cutting up at the same time lol. doc gave me welbutrin..week later didnt even need a cig. i gotta get some more ! GOOD LUCK WOODSTER!
