Quitting Smoking

[BIG_SUPERMAN72 10+ year member]

MY dad quit after smoking for 17 years. He has lung cancer now though. He lost his left lung completely. And his cancer spread up to his head. Im currently 17 i was chewing a tin and a half a day for about a month. Overrall ive only chewed for about a year. But the last month was the worst. I quit last thursday n I decided to buy a tin of kodiak because ive never done kodiak ice before(i heard it was very good).Im trying to take it light with it so i dont get the urge to throw in half tin dips. All the stress i get from my mother and my father makes me want to do it more. The worst thing is now. I get extremely angry. And get pissed at any little thing. Cold turkey is the way to do it.

A good buddy of mine did it cold turkey this year, was hell for about five months...he just buried himself in work.

That's one of the major things that helped me. Stay busy. When you get a craving, go do something, anything. Working on your car is a good thing to do //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Also, get out of habits that cause you to smoke, like after an argument with someone go punch a wall or rip apart something instead of picking up smokes.

I started a thread like this several weeks ago and am pleased to report I've been smoke-free since. Cold turkey, no excuses. I still feel cravings sometimes too, but around the end of the first week it became a lot easier to shrug them off.

Good for you that you're trying. Don't become a pack a day smoker for 10 years like me. I ****ed myself over something awful and will probably pay for it the rest of my life.

Yeah man, don't get bored. I am also quitting, not only smoking, but also all pop. I have quit smoking before, then my girlfriend figured that out and got my back . Now we are both quiting smoking together. Its not hard as long as you don't surround yourself with smokers. I've done my best with that, but most of her friends still smoke. However, pop is **** hard to quit. Its everywhere and even more addictive than nicotine IMO, but I still haven't smoked or drank pop in the last month.

i've been addicted to crystal meth and cigarettes. i quit both. meth was harder but i did it. its all in your mind. and in my mind, i loved weed too much to be wasting my lung capacity on the other two. im only addicted to marijuana and i have no intentions of quitting. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

i smoke newports, which i believe is the number one most addictive/harmful cigarette on the market.been smokin for a year. sometimes i just do it when im bored at work or something. if theres nothing to do i go outside for 5 minutes and kill a cigarette and hope i have something to do when i come back. cigarettes dont even get me the buzz i used to get anymore, even if i smoke 4 in a row. its hard to quit, especially newports ive tried goin to camels, marlboro menthol lights, marlboro lights, Kools, all that shit, and im back to the newports. and their killin my wallet 3.49 a pack.

Funny the topic of quitting smoking came up. My friend just quit quitting smoking. He was going to quit for some girl, they got into a fight, and he quit quitting. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

No, and actually the psycho b*tch is getting better. She hasn't camped out or called anyone 5,000 times in a row, but then again.. he's got a job now and when he's not working, he's with her...

I quit cold turkey last wednesday. Both my parents and girlfriend smoke, and i havent really had a problem since the first day i quit...just got sick of it.

Smoked a pack a day for 7-8 years straight..after a week i feel much better, health wise.

i smoke about half a pack a day. it's worse when i drink, about 1 pack in a night sometimes even more if i give a few to someone.

Haha, you have me quoted in you sig, anyways, just do it for her if you really do love her man, dont be a puzzy, any 1 can quit smoking, when it really tells you "hey smoke me ill make you feel good" thats when its working thats all you have to think about, so when that happenes just dont smoke and it will decrease.

not true this old british lady that used to work at the gas station near my work smoked all of her life and she developed a brain tumor. even after she found that out she kept smoking. She was a cool lady, sold me cigarettes when i was a minor. but she died last month. God Bless her soul.
