i went complete cold turkey and just kept myself in a smoke free environment and hid my debit card with my roommate so i couldn't run down to cumbies and get a pack...it blew but after the first week you loose the chemical dependency and after 3 weeks you loose the mental dependency and compulsion. it sucks but it's so worth it, and you can actually breath again!

I have seen too many people that I love die from cigs. That's enough for me to have never picked one up in my life. Possibly the fucking dumbest thing you could do to yourself.

I'm quitting again for like the 3rd time in 15 years. Today is day 3. I wish smoking wasn't so damn expensive and terrible for your health because I absolutely love to do it.

seriously, easiest thing ive ever done. if you have spiteful friends they'll hate on you non stop so dont tell them (dont tell people anyway IMO) and just do it. youre a strong, big dicked killing machine and you dont need cigs! just remember that any time you think you wanna give in and laugh derisively at the thought of breaking down and having one, theyre good but not that good.

also just replace it with something, like gum or sunflower seeds or mints or hard candy or something. easy as shit, and once youve gone a few days youve already taken the hardest step, dont give in youre not some pussy!

Lets clarify, there's a difference between people who habitually smoke when they're sober, and people who smoke a couple of cigs when they're drunk.

You're not a smoker if you only smoke cigs when you're drunk. I truly hate the fucking do gooders who try and tell me how bad it is for me. This one fat bitch tried to lecture me one time at the bar, I told her that her heart would fail long before my lungs.

Ive smoked on and off for almost 4 years now.  tried the gum this time and it actually works really well.  I'll dip once a day (doing it once a day after dinner till i kill another 2 tins then im being done with that too) the only time i have any desire for a cig is when im drinking, otherwise the smell and taste makes me sick.  This happen to anyone else, once you quit you cant stand the smell of it? is that why i do to non smokers all the time when i smoke?

yeah dude, I'm the same way. After I quit the last time, I was amazed at how easily I could smell it on people...and it smells terrible. The first time I smoked again after quitting I distinctly remember thinking to myself, "god damn, this tastes terrible. how did I ever think that this tasted good?"

My girl has never been a smoker and bitches NON STOPPED about the smell. It's half of the damn reason I'm quitting again....just so I don't have to listen to her...haha.

Just don't be like my roommate. Quitting cigs by not buying them...and bumming them every time someone else is smoking one. He smokes less but it is annoying as shit

If you smoked alot then quiting wouldnt be the easiest thing in your life. Many studies have shown nicotene to be more addictive then heroin. Therefor I give you this reading to inform yourself about how "easy" it isnt for people who are actually addicted to quit.

Im in the process..quit last sunday. somehow managed to smoke only 1 cigerette up to this point. Although i did by a 12 pack of clove cigars to hold me over ha. I think im doing pretty good so far. i smoked quit often. A cig does complement a chairlift ride and a beer so well tho

You didn't really quit then.


I'm at 2 weeks, I took one drag of a newport red a week ago, just because I always wondered what it would be like if they made regulars. i had no choice but to take one drag. Been turning down cigs so far.


Chewin gum like crazy. Reg gum. Quiting nicotine cold turkey. Not sure how far I'll make it. Wanted to get close to a month, just to prove that I can do it. First time I've really tried to quit. Sucks cause it doesn't really bother me. I don't know what I'm going to do when I go to shows. At one of the phish shows last fall I smoked 2 packs during the day night. Granted I probably gave some away, just the fact that I smoked a bunch was kind of nasty.


Need moar gum!!!!!!!

your right, its not that hard to quit when you are some 17 year old kid who "smoked" a pack a week for a year and half. If you actually got yourself into the shitty situation where smoke 15+ a day for a couple years, then yes, quitting is extremely difficult you arrogant little faggot.

you might want to light up some weed every time you are getting withdrawl symptoms.... if you smoke weed that is. i say this because it is pretty much proven that weed isnt anywhere as destructive to your lungs, non-addictive, and will help replace the act of smoking cigarettes itself which will break the psychological part of addiction. the high from it will help you get your mind off cigarettes and the withdrawl symptoms which can get pretty bad for some people. best of luck to you bro, however you choose to do it!

Everything I've read psychology-wise suggests you are wrong. Telling people leads to premature feelings of accomplishment and less motivation to go through with it.

haha so i tell you that i quit after 3-4 years of heavy smoking and tell you honestly that it was easy, so you give me a link that's supposed to tell me that it wasn't? haha okay

LOL at people in real life and in this thread who get pissed at me for speaking the truth.. quitting is hard but its not that hard. they are addictive but quitting is mental, plain and simple. sack up

I quit cold turkey 2 years ago.
It wasnt easy, and you have to really want to quit in order to be succesful. It was kind of tough when most of your friends smoke, especially when we are all hanging out drinking. And I also found it tough during ski season. Those times when your sitting on the lift buy yourself or sitting in the woods and its all quiet. Now I just do a shot of Jaeger instead! haha

You don't think your grandfather tried to quit at some time in 40 years smoking 3 packs a day before he actually did? I'm sure he did, almost all smokers are always "thinking" about quitting, it just took him 40yrs to actually succeed. Your 15... you have alot to learn.

Fuck you. You're posts in this thread are retarded. Nicotine addiction is ridiculously strong. Even though it comes from something as easy as smoking a cig.

And he was right. People that smoke a cig here and there and quit, is completely different from smoking regularly and quiting.

you tried this shit with me earlier in the thread. i'm older than you, probably have smoked more than you, and quit. end of story. now you can tell me i'm wrong all you want but here is the state of affairs: i quit, you apparently didn't (or else wouldnt be bitching out people who did), and you're trying to tell me i'm lying or something. OH, or i'm 15 and "didn't smoke." that's a good one too

That's great for you, good job. If you weren't so self-centric maybe you would be able to understand that even if you did it, it doesn't mean its easy. I know lot's of people that have the willpower to put themselves through situations that you probably wouldn't last a day in, but still can't quit smoking. The vast majority of people have a hard time quitting, and lot's of them fail and end up dying because of it.

that's true, you said i was 12. good call


also, nice try at making it look like i'm the one who's mad. you're mad cause you can't quit and im rubbing it in your face accidentally. if you think the fact that i called out some pissy guy on a forum means i have serious issues, you should see the kind of dreams i have

chill out, don't have a cig, it's not that hard...

without giving a fuck what the past 3 pages said

I think quitting is pretty easy, you just have to neglect yourself the right to buy them, and know that if people are gonna bum you one, you can't accept it.
My problem right now is, I take vayvanze, which is super adderall, this I feel makes your personality more easily addicted, and the joy of a cigarette or dip while you are raging is unreal. Not sure how to break this habit other then quitting when im not raging, although when i dip and i'm raging it puts you into a super rage where you get shit done.

Not sure about 8 miles back in the thread, but I never mentioned anything about you're age recently.

And your post, lol. I can quit anything it's not really hard. Only problem is I don't really want to quit. I enjoy smoking at the mountain and at shows. Especially when I'm fucked up. My lungs haven't fallen apart yet.

"if you think the fact that i called out some pissy guy on a forum means i have serious issues"

Lol I'm not pissy. You misunderstand ze intrawebz. I just like yelling at stupid 12 year old kids. There i called you 12, happy?


Now go play in the sandbox, or traffic.
