i think its great you want to stop using now... it shouldent be hard considering your still 17/18 and its all in your head and any phsycical addiction you have is simply out of boredom

i quit using cold turkey, but i still smoke and drink (legally mind you) ...

i smoked for a couple of years...decided i really wanted to quit and quit...maybe have an urge to smoke a cigarette but i know from my experiance...2 years of smoking for me it was not hard to quit at all..just dont think about it...thats all you can do

i noticed everytime i dident even think about smoking something serious was going on... vacation in miami beach, gettin beat down (and the recovery a few days afterwards), wedding in the family...

go out and do something ... go rock climbing, jump off a cliff (with a bungee cord) , or go off roading in a 4x4

dont quit it all at once, quit drinking first, then cigs, and weed wont be hard, youll want to, but its not like cigs or alcohol withdrawals.

Cigs are the WORST thing - work on that!

Get on the patch, it helps. If you are strong willed (like me) it should be no problem. Some helpful advice is to keep busy with your hands - anything will do *fap* *fap* *fap*.

A friend of mine told me he was able to quit by telling himself he would have a smoke when a non-smoking buddy would light up. It worked for him.

Drinking and smoking go hand in hand. That, and drinking coffee. Mind over matter...

thats why i said stop drinking first, when you drink youll want to smoke, so stop drinking and then smoking wont be as hard.

yeah... when she leaves itll start up again thats what happened to me.. i only drink once a week now ive been blazing and smoking ciggs for 4 years with asthma its not helping it..

hanging around the right crowd makes a difference too i notice when i hang out with the non smokers i dont think about it because nobody is smoking around me. i've been weed free for a week and it feels like im keeping my head straight.. as of ciggs im taking it slowly and am just smoking on the weekends or when i drink.

go to the gym and run it will motivate you to quit smoking too

I tried everything...patches, gum, just plain old cold turkey. Nothing worked. A long while ago I heard of Chantix. A nifty little pill to help you stop. Now I heard from people that there husband brother, sister, mother, or what have it quit it no time. I got a prescription for it and never took it, that is until my fiancee's step dad took it. He was a 3 pack a day smoker. He started taking it and the next week went on vacation. This was april 6th....he hasn't smoked a cigg since then nor does he even want to. I am getting ready to try my script finally....
