TL-DR - Rely on your willpower and nothing else, the aids are just that 'aids' to make it easier with the withdrawal. If you go into it thinking 'this can replace my cigarettes' then you probably are not really ready to quit. | ||

So many success stories. . . my dad quit after 30+ years in just 1 week, me after 7+ years and 2 weeks, my boss after god knows how long, and more. I quit taking it after 2 weeks since it made me feel bloated as hell, but it does work. You can sit there, think about chain smoking, and not get a craving - it's crazy. The main reason for me stopping was a pneumothroax, though. For those that don't know, it's a collapsed lung basically. I said fuck it after that. | ||

It's a good way to relax and enjoy life. I mean it's not like one cigarette is gonna kill you. People just don't know what moderation is. Sure, smoking two packs a day is fucked up. Doesn't mean you need to quite forever. | ||

Each individual cigarette may not kill you, but the compounded effect of all of them through your lifetime will significantly increase risk of illnesses and death. It's also a money drain. | ||

Cancer is meh, if the chances of a person getting cancer are 0.1% then a smoker would be 0.2% which is not that big of a deal. | ||

I was addicted (literally would skip meals and cancel plans with friends at the last minute) to playing World of WarCraft, and I can safely say that when I actually did quit, it was 'cold turkey' so to speak. One day I woke up, I was in raid with the guild I played with, and I had an epiphany - this is mind numbingly boring, we sit here wiping all night because of six to eight people who don't get the fight and even if we had a flawless group who cares that we killed the boss? I stayed to the end of that raid, and then didn't log in again for 6 months. I play again now but I can play the game like a game - occasionally, I'm no longer addicted in any way. When I quit smoking it will have to be the same way. I will need to make up my mind about it and do it. I've tried the gum, the patch, the inhaler, and so on, and none of them worked. Because in my mind I still don't want to fully quit, even if I consider it. TL-DR - Rely on your willpower and nothing else, the aids are just that 'aids' to make it easier with the withdrawal. If you go into it thinking 'this can replace my cigarettes' then you probably are not really ready to quit. LOL WoW is not addicting, you ever suck dick to play WoW? | ||

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus Also Cigars is an option, since they don't harm the lungs, but it's a expensive habit an not really a suitable replacement for an addiction. Perhaps cutting down on the cigs to half or less and smoking a cigar or two each week instead, that would be a real treat to look forward to! Good luck to everyone trying to quit the cancer sticks!

If you want to quit smoking.. great... I have to say that I work in a Hospital Emergency room and I know what kills people. (and how horrific each death is) Smoking will most likley kill you from heart disease (possibly COPD but thats rarer) and all in all.. heart disease isnt really all that bad a way to go out. I can tell you that the 2 most horrific ways to snark it are Dementia and Obesety.. (sure there are some pretty bad tropical diseases out there but Im sticking to whats probably going to kill you) After that herpes is pretty damn grim.. and there are some pretty horrible things that happen to alcoholics. If quitting smoking was a guarantee of immortality.. Id quit tomorrow.. But it isnt and no matter how many healthy options you take you are in the end.. a dead dude... The best reason I can think of to give up is if giving up will help yo score with a hot chick.. other than that.. dont bother. | ||
