Quitting Smoking

It's easy to quit. You just have to have enough incentive to do so. For some people it takes dying, for others it takes some hot chick telling them to stop.

You have to determine if your addiction is habitual or chemical. Habitual is far easier to stop, usually all it takes is some sort of oral fixation issue, sunflower seeds, coffee stir sticks, the pen15, whatever.

I've quit a bunch of times too. Then something happens...like ***, camping, eating a meal, then I decide I don't want to quit anymore.

I don't get how people get addicted so easily. Ive smoked for a few months, some days i only smoke a few, other days half a pack or more.

never had a craving for them... ever

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.

3.49??? thats it? 5.45 a pack here.

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.

Thats just one human being that didnt try hard enough, to me, she just wanted to die. But any one can quit, theirs no such thing as "I cant quit smoking" if you say that you deserve to get smacked in your nutz and penis slapped in the eye.

I used to smoke a pack a week last summer. I still get freakin cravings //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif Not really physical, just metnal, as in "Wow now would be a nice time for a bogie..."

I picked up cigars at the end of last summer to help quit smoking cigs, and they worked for me. You are still somewhat dependent on nicotine, but the dosage interval and the convenience just kils any mental addiciton whatsoever. You can pull out a cigarette and smoke it almost anywhere (even pull a light in a school bathroom). But with cigars, you need to dedicate a half hour or more. I like the taste of tobacco and it's relaxing, but cigarettes were just horrible. I'm convinced that the dosage of tobacco in cigarettes is so evenly distributed that smoking one makes you want another almost an hour later.

I still light cigars once a week or so, but it's not that bad of a habit, and you don't get a lot of shit from anti-tobacco people. It's also a little easier to cover up, and it smells pleasant, as opposed to harsh. Atleast in my opinion.
