Haven't caved so far, but have given up 'counting' the amount of time I haven't smoked/am not going to smoke for. If you just do it on a day-to-day basis (I will not smoke today/right now instead of I will not smoke ever again), I've found it to be much easier to do. If it keeps going as fast as its been going, I think in another couple of weeks it won't even be on my mind anymore. | ||

I've been on a fitness craze since December, and I think that has helped a ton. Hit the gym 5 nights a week, do active fun activities the other two to stay busy. What I'm really scared of is the detox mode if it hits me hard... sitting around coughing up phlegm for a month or two does not sound like fun D: Edit: Spelling  | ||

Never had these coughs till now... (smoked 2 packs for like 10 years..)... I wouldn't worry to much  . | ||

I'm having the most shitty time of my life, being in my ER shifts is a living torture, since there's pretty much no way to calm myself (I seemed to have a pretty strong association between chillaxing and having a cigarrette, LOL). Should I go for the e-cig? If you've used it, would you recommend it and why? | ||

(ecigs are nicotine) I'm still coping with the massive amounts of anxiety involving nicotine abstinence. Asked a colleague who is an internal medicine specialist in bronchopulmonary medicine if he recommended something for cases like mine. He prescribed me Chantix. Still can't feel the anxiety leaving me; on the contrary, I feel kind of a build-up and I've only been on it for a day. ... But what I've noted is that I just can't fucking stand to smell a cigarrette now. I feel nauseated almost instantly upon smelling cigarrette smoke. Noticed this morning when a colleague greeted me at the hospital and she reeked of cigs. I nearly threw up, LOL. | ||

Should I go for the e-cig? If you've used it, would you recommend it and why? I stopped cigs one month ago, and I am with an ecig now. First I used the most famous one, the Ego Tank model. Then I switched toward a more confortable and efficient model, the Provari. Using an ecig made it impressively easy, once I switched to ecig with a good eliquid, it wasn't possible for me anymore to smoke a regular cig, it tastes like crap. I am now reducing gradually the nicotine value of the eliquid I vape, and everything is very smooth. I basically enjoy the vape and the taste, without the cancerigen thingy. Since I switched for a very good ecig, I basically have more "hit" and more taste with lighter and lighter eliquid. You can check a very easy to read description of standard ecigs here : http://www.ecigaddict.com/beginner-guides/which-is-the-best-electronic-cigarette-to-buy-for-beginners/ If you have more specific questions, don't hesitate to contact me through PM, or in this thread :-). | ||

Or what kinda logic do you apply here? No dude, he's right Antidepressants ARE used to stop smoking. Wellbutrin and Champix ARE antidepressants used solely FOR that, but patients taking them NEED TO BE SUPERVISED by a physician. Trust me, I'm a doctor. I know. | ||

I'm so glad I found this, I was actually thinking that I would smoke until I die but this seems to be an easy way to quit, of course you'll need motivation eventually when you want to quit ecigs too but man, good stuff | ||

I actually didnt quit yet, but I'm smoking 2 packs a day since I'm 16 (or the equivalent in "rolled" cigarettes, dunno how to say it in english but the ones you roll yourself cost a lot less, I couldnt smoke), I'm 22 now and I really feel like I'm fucked. But a friend of mine made me try e cigs, and I didnt smoke a cigarette in 4 days without ANY WITHDRAWL, so of course you still get nicotine with e-cigs (depends on what you use, you can have from nicotine free, to high nicotine dosage depending on your consomation, but I actually was fine with the lowest nicotine dose (6mg) and I really didnt feel the need to smoke a cigarette). This surprised me sooo much, when my friend told me to try I laughed at him, "like it could seriously work, you dont have the feel of the cigarette, the smell etc etc" well, I was wrong, but then, the e-cig which was poor quality kinda broke, so I have to get new ones, but as a start to quit smoking I feel like this is the best option, plus you got no smell, you can smoke that all day in your house with people around wont bother anyone, and it costs nothing once you bought the e-cig because the liquid you use to recharge the thing is really cheap. I'm so glad I found this, I was actually thinking that I would smoke until I die but this seems to be an easy way to quit, of course you'll need motivation eventually when you want to quit ecigs too but man, good stuff The thing is, with ecig it is pretty easy to gradually reduce your nicotine addiction by progressively reducing the value in your eliquid. I totally agree with you, using ecig makes it incredibly easy. | ||
