Yes that's why every parent should go like this :
Wait... Wasn't there a thread about a 2yrs old toddler who was smoking 2 packs a day in SE Asia ?!
Nvm.

Good luck. Cold Turkey is the best.
I smoked for 10 years, been off for 7. (ya, I'm 31)
Also, try to be off work or school. No stress.
I took 2 weeks off, and just told myself "I was sick" for 2 weeks. That's why I felt like shit. Lots of water, and drank soda after meals, extra can, because that was the hardest time.
Then later I quit the soda. The important think is you quit now.

Do you have any friends/family that can support you? I believe that really helps. An obvious starting point would be to get rid of all your cigaretts then tell lots of people that you plan to quit. That way someone is probably always gonna remind you about not smoking.

I smoked for about 10 years. For the last few years about a pack a day.
I quit 6 months ago, just went cold turkey, worked well for me. Recently I started to smoke again, but only when drinking.
I think I'll continue being a "party smoker", because smoking is just too good to completely give up.

Just be careful. Thats what pretty much happend to me except I woke up the next day with a pack of ciggs next to me and figured that it would be a waste to throw them away. If you can handle it its all good, just sayin I know I cant.

Meh it's not like you get addicted to tobacco because of joints. Been smoking them for years now and still never had to urge to light a cigarette.

It actually works pretty well. For some reason I have zero urge to smoke when I'm not drinking (and I'm happy about that), but as soon as I have a beer the urge gets really strong and it's a pleasure to satisfy it.
But yeah, I agree that it could be dangerous. I'll be careful. :D

Agreed 
I find now that I do it less I enjoy it a lot more when I do do it.

Ive been smoking for about 10 years, but now recently i gave it up on a regular basis.
Drinking represents another obstacle tho, and i knew i could not overcome this one. So i made a basic rule, 1 cigg pr. 3 units of alcohol. Keep it that simple and you quickly smoke a lot less.
On another note, there is a chance you might drink a lot faster/more with this technique.

Seriously, this thread is ridicoulous. It's been a long time since I laughed this much. Cigarettes doesn't do anything good unless you're addicted.

yeah i smoked cigarettes for 10+ years, but when i quit, i quit cold turkey, already knowing that i had my last cigarette
also you should watch a movie called "The Union - The Business Behind Getting High"
there's a scene in the movie of an air plane dropping radioactive wastes on a tobacco crop!
happy smoking!
edit: imHo quitting cold turkey wins more than cutting back - cuz you directly stop feeding the nicotine receptors in your brain. :D

It's not a matter of opinion, quitting cold turkey is much better than cutting back because you no longer smoke cigarettes at all, which is a huge plus to the health meter and the bank balance.
Cutting back is however better than giving up trying to quit smoking altogether.

Just over 4 weeks now for me since I quit. I have to say it is much easier this time around than any other, and I've been smoking for about 10 years. I guess my extra motivation this time around is a 100 dollar bet with a friend.
I think the hardest part up 'til now is I randomly have a dream where in it, I'll 'sneak' a puff or 3 of a cigarette. Then when I wake up I'm all upset and wanting to smoke really bad.
My lungs feel great though.

?? Cigarettes release dopamine in your brain, so you relieve stress. Whether this is "good" or not is a stupid discussion. So the pro's is that you get more dopamine, the con is that you're gonna die and you smell like ass.

Good luck to all the people who try to stop smoking! It can be done!
Smoked myself for three years, but stoped when i went to university.
After the first month it is not much of a problem, but the first one or two weeks can be annyoing.
I quit drinking coffee for 6 month, because i just couldn't drink a cup without the wish to light myself a cigarette XD
