Smoking is gross, and it smells. Just go cold turkey. I don't even care about cancer, it's just a nasty habit and a total turnoff.

Just think about how retarded you look every time you have a cigarette. Seriously, that should be motivation enough. Spend your money on something that doesn't make you look like a tool.

Ok, your fully addicted.

If you want to do this via willpower alone. You MUST stop now and say "I will never smoke another cigarette under ANY circumstances"

If your an addict, the most difficult part isnt stopping completely, its attempting to moderate using willpower alone. Youll get stuck in a "Just one more then I'll stop" or "Well It was a special occassion" mindset and you'll never go anywhere.

When I mean ANY circumstances, I mean it as well. Regardless of the situation, do NOT smoke.

After a little while, youll lose the constant nagging urge to grab a cig. However that doesnt mean you can smoke. It just means it will be easier to resist from then on out. Always remember that if you start again for any reason you'll become addicted twice as fast and twice as strong.

Yeah, i quit smoking like 21489713429times just to start again haha
The best time to quit is when you get sick, cuz when you're sick you dont have the urge to. And when you're sick with flu, you dont have the urge for a whole week!
I'm managing to control myself with 1-2 cigs a day. Then those cigs become sooo gooood! =D
Oh, and i would quit tabaco so easily, if i had the possibility to roll a joint once in a while... week... day......

hehe this might not belong here because it's such a vague addiction compared to ciggarets, but I tried and faild alot of times to stop biting my nails, but one day I just said to myself that I really should stop, and now I have to cut my nails every week (sucks but better than biting on them).

Ahh well, just stop! dont think about it and just say no whenever someone asks you!
Really, play for fun!

I quit smoking a little more than six months ago. The first two weeks are the hardest, imo, but it varies from person to person. My only advice is to set a strict quit date, load up on gum, sunflower seeds, or whatever, and just quit cold turkey. A lot of people recommend you need to change your lifestyle, too (no drinking alcohol or coffee, eat healthy, etc.), but I didn't give up anything other than the cigarettes. Quitting is not as hard as many people make it out to be.

Any amount of cigarettes is too much!

The thing is, to quit smoking, you actually have to WANT to quit smoking. If you do not want to, you are gonna get nowhere in trying to quit.

EDIT: Oh yeah, buy A LOT of bubblegum and sunflower seeds, keeps your mouth doing something.

Im sorry to ressurrect this thread, but i just stopped smoking, its been hard, MAD hard.

I had to stop before, because i removed some teeth, and everything was going great, but my willpower failed one day, and I bought a pack, I wasant smoking cigs for like 1 month, and it was all ruined.

I kept telling myself that it would be the last pack (like ... lol, i just wanted to keep smoking) and basically, i smoked 2-3 more months.

Now im quitting again, and now im prepared for my subsconcious trying screw me up, but whoever said when you come back its twice as addictings and twice as strong is totally right, I never enjoyed ciggaretes as much as I do now, and this is one of the main reasons im stopping, i was smoking like a fucking chimney.

Im amazingly anxious.

I'm very pleased that I never started smoking cigarettes, I'm now pretty much the only person (apart from my family) I know that doesn't smoke.

Good luck with quitting D10.

just stop putting the tabac to your lips and lighting it.

there is no such thing as wanting to stop smoking. you either stop or you continue smoking.
just visualize yourself watching yourself from a third person perspective. externalize your conscience.

Yeah I wanted to stop, too, but it was too hard to stop all at once. Now I am happy that I managed to reduce my dosage from 4-5 packs/week to 1 pack a week and I can easily go some days without smoking. So I hope this approach works better for me than a total stop and I can further reduce my dosage ^.^

It's not that easy. Trust me, if you smoked, you'll understand.




Usually when people tell me to stop/quit smoking, I tell them to "fuck off". This is due to the fact that most of them are non-smokers, and are ignorant and clueless. They don't know how it feels, and they just see it as another ordinary habit, like biting your nails. It is not as simple as "just stop", or "don't buy any". If you have smoked regularly past the 2-3 month mark, it becomes a deep, subconscious part of your soul. When you can't have one when you want, you become nervous, jittery, and easily angered. When you have a smoke, you start to feel relaxed, calm, and better than you were. This is because nicotine causes your brain to release dopamine, a fluid that tells your body "I feel good". And to have that power, and to lose it, is something a non-smoker will never know.

I have smoked for almost 4 years. I wish I had never started, but sometimes I don't. I don't because even though I know I can get cancer, that feeling is too strong to "just let go". I have a bad temper, and smoking keeps me calm. It helps me deal with situations that I normally can't. During my period I tried to quit, I couldn't do things I used to do. I took seminars and classes, but they didn't help. I got angered easily, and got into many fights. I shortly started back up again.

Nicotine is the most powerful drug in existence. It's addictiveness level is stronger than every know drug, including crack and heroin. It is not a joke, because I know its true. I seem to have ranted enough, If you read through all that, my apologies. On a serious note however, if you need help quitting, someone to talk to, or advice in general about smoking please PM me. I'll be happy to help.


...After I go smoke another cigarette.

Honestly I've never smoked a cigarrete in my entire life.

The first time I tried it was when I was about five years old when my aunt was smoking one and left it there, I got curious and took a sip and immediately started coughing and never touched it again.

It was burning my throat! Since then I've hated cigarretes.
