Have you ever been a smoker? Well then you probably wouldn't understand why people who are smokers stay smokers. Don't be so judgmental when you don't have reasonable grounds to judge. It's particularly funny that you pose your argument as the product of rationality when your experience regarding the subject is so limited in the most instrumental of regards. EDIT: @ OP: Good luck. I would suggest you try not to drink if smoking while drinking is a problem, at least for a little while. You should also certainly tell your friends not to give you smokes. If you have to buy them and can't get them during the social encounters where smoking is rampant you will find yourself much more accountable for your actions. | ||

For the win! I wouldn't mind quitting, but... Honestly, cancer feels so farfetched that it doesn't scare me enough to make me quit. The cost doesn't hurt me, and it tastes AWESOME. The only time I managed to get the strength to quit was when my GF asked me to. Picked it up again when we broke up. Good luck to you who are fighting it though. I know the pain. | ||

I will join you, but i'm not on messanger a lot. In fact, when im on my computer i'm either on TL or youtube. (I am in university and only have a shitty mac so no SC). I will post my status here everyday though. I'll let you know how i'm doing and maybe we can make progress =) My problem is that i'm addicted and i'm trying to fulfill my major requirements in my last few years here so i gotta push 5+ classes per quarter. I also have a GF. Most the time i smoke is in between study breaks, after sex and while drinking. Other than i probably smoke 1-2 times a day just randomly, sometimes our of boredom between classes or waiting for the bus. Any tips on how to quit in those high desire moments? BTW, i've smoked 6 cigarrettes today. | ||

back then i used to think gradually reducing the number of cigs would eventually help me quit but it never worked for me. i would have less than a pack one day and then over 2 packs the next day. cold turkey is the way to go if you're really serious about quitting. all you really need is will power. putting something in your mouth may help (i used to chew a ton of gum when i first went cold turkey). from my experience the cravings only lasted about 3 weeks. after that it's plain sailing. | ||

In my experience the only way to do it is to prepare yourself mentally for the worst case scenario -> that you're going to suffer and be uncomfortable for an indefinite amount of time, and embrace it. I didn't change any of my habits( drinking, going out, coffee) and was miserable for about a month and then it got easier. I imagined it like some guy torturing me everyday nonstop and me telling him over and over:"Well if thats the best you can do, you can go fuck yourself lol". Anyway just to be clear, the desire never really goes away, you can be fine for 2 months and then you're out having fun and you get the urge again, I personally deal with it with cigarillos(you dont inhale and it's 100% tobacco) which I find is a good method because they're prety much disgusting, you smoke one and you don't think about smoking for awhile lol. Good Luck Tried that, just got addicted to cigarrillos LOL. | ||

Actually i've heard plenty of success stories from the gradual reduction way. But its all relative. Also, only 3% of smokes who try to quit from free will actually make it per year. I hope that doesn't discourage anyone. Just see it as a kind of motivation to BE that 3%. | ||

BTW, i've smoked 6 cigarrettes today. Sounds great!! I had 14 cigarettes today. Tomorrow is the day Im gonna make it happen. I'm gonna rise up 6:40 and run for 30 mins. Been doing that every other day since I tried to quit smoking 2 weeks ago or so. It usually helps to encourage me from not smoking that day or atleast not until late afternoon. Unfortunately Im gonna help a friend with schoolwork tomrrow and I seriously wonder how that will work out considering that I always smoke when I'm at a cafe and I always have the worst abstinence during the evening. This "lesson" is, of course, going to take place at a cafe in the evening.. good thing she doesn't smoke though! I've decided not to go to certain places that are likely to make me smoke. That include going ouside during the break, going to the regular cafe where I smoke a few cigarettes every day or having a drink/beer. No one else up for the challange!? I'll report in tomorrow with a good result anyway I hope. We proboably should find someother place to report on in order not to spam the forum all to much. ....oh yeah, I also threw my last half empty pack of cigarettes on my way home today. | ||
