+1 for that book!



Oh yeah that book is like god. I mean really. Just read it, do everything it says (which is not much) and you will stop it. It´s really the easy way^^ I quit smoking 5 months ago using it.

I don't think that you should stop smoking all of a sudden. You should gradually diminish the amount of cigs you consume everyday so your body can gets used to having less nicotine in it.
For example: first week -> only half a pack everyda, second week -> only a couple of cigs everyday -> third week: stop completely.
At least that is what most non-smoking programs recommend.

Good luck man! Keep us posted

As a previous smoker, this didn't help me.
Thing is, you still carry cigarettes with you: once you light one, you could light another.
Then you get nervous for some reason and light another.
Then you go out with friends and why not, let's smoke another and so on.
Also, despite the quantity, you are still smoking so your mind isn't really focusing on the thought of quitting.

That's my personal experience and now I've been clear since more than a year, never been on a program however.
Your Opinion has been counted. Only 3 more Opinions needed for a reddit thread.

Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.

Somewhat different for every person (and different each time they try to quit). Generally, everyone always talks about the first 3 days as they're the toughest from moment to moment, but they have the obvious advantage of lasting 3 days while the rest lasts the rest of your life. :/

The difficulty also shifts, in that at first the difficulty is ignoring the constant cravings while later on the cravings are rare and somewhat less strong, but it's hard to constantly keep in mind why you wanted to quit in the first place and to resist the urge of 'just one cigarette since I'm not addicted anymore'.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

Fan-tastic! From a fellow smoker (should I be using past tense by now, for you?) I earnestly hope the best for you on your challenge. It is no small mountain to quit from a pack a day. My Aunt (may she rest in peace) had emphysema from smoking nearly her whole life and she did 'stop' smoking because of it, but she always said the only thing she wanted was a cigarette on her death bed. For some it appears to always be a gremlin in the room, that you have to be strong enough to just say no to, over and over and over.

Go Ret!
I used to smoke a lot (about a pack and a half every day since I was 14 until I was 26).
I'm now 27, I've been clean for 1 year and it feels GREAT!
You can do it,we'll be rooting for you! :D

How does this help anyone? These are smokers discussing how to quit smoking. Unless you're some psychologist or expert on brain chemistry, you have no way of contributing to this discussion as a non-smoker.

That's the most useless comment you could possibly make on the matter.
