Replace it with something else, like hookers and booze.

It's the only way...

Cigarettes or something else? I had a prob with somethin else and took up drinkin like staed above and I honestly like it better and it doesnt seem to hurt my reputation as bad as ppl callin me a pot head and I dont even drink that often really as I wanted to get high everyday.

im actually experimenting right now in why everyone gets so addicted to tobacco. For the past couple months i have been smoking Black n Milds. Non-filter tip too. Well, what i can notice so far, its all in the mind. I can not want to smoke when i want too and when i want too. I dont know what's so hard in quitting. Can someone shine some light on me why i'm not addicted?

This helped too, I figured the girl I loved was more important than other things I thought I needed and it was true.

I got to where I would smoke occasionally on my break at work because I got bored, I always wondered why others done it but I figured it was somethin to do and I took it up and it really isnt worth doing.

i just quit, been about 4 or 5 weeks now without one, find someone to help you. my friend wanted me to quit and so did i, so he helped me. just hang around with people who wont let you smoke, there was some dumb biches who used ot like blow smoke in my direction and wave them in front of me, i just freaked out at them and told them to grow the **** up and get away, people like that just bring you down and are plain retarted

last time i quit, it was so bad...physical pain, cramps/uncontrolable kicking (kicking the habit) it was messed up....and wtf, started again 10 months later...and now when i am wanting/needing to quit again, i really do not want to do it, for i know the aggonay i will be in...its messed up, kids really need to just not start smoking in the first place...

its hard, but you just have to do it, and get it over with, and then just never ever start agian...

Smoke real ciggs. No black n milds. Smoke marlboros, camels, etc. Smoke em when you feel stressed, when your bored, etc. Eventually you will feel very trapped and not sure what to do when faced with a situation wherre you cant smoke. It happened to me today. When i found out about my grandfather with all my relatives around I was freaking out. I couldnt calm down and couldnt deal with the stress since i have always smoked to deal with it. Its insane how hard it is to quit. I want to but its hard even thinking about it

yeah.. black and milds arent the same as good ol cigs. I love my cigs.. though i need to quit as well. If ya wanna experiment and wanna do it quick.. get camel wides, either menthol (my fave) or regular filters. Also, the new KOOL XL (big fat menthols) are comin out this week as well... HOORAY NICOTINE!

I'm on the patch right now.

Quitting smoking is very hard. Ive kicked other far more serious habits, but i cant seem to give up the cigs. I can smoke wearing the strongest patch, and not even catch a buzz.

I have cut back from like 1.5-2 packs a day to maybe 1-2 cigs a day with the patch. Its really freaking hard though, but i will overcome.

I quit 7 months ago and haven't turned back. I started when I was 13 which translates to about 10 years of smoking...needless to say it wasn't a secondary social habit with me. This is actually the third time I've quit, but I'm 99.9% sure it will be the last and here is why.

1st time = Cold Turkey, didn't work at all

2nd time = Cut back somewhat but just didn't want to quit honestly

This time I did three things...

1) Gradually cut back over a long period of time. I did it by (starting at about 1.5-2 packs a day) cutting out 1-3 cigarettes per week. 30 the first week, 28 the second, 26 the third, and so on. Under no circumstance should you let yourself cheat.

2) I bought a hookah (which I now use maybe once-twice every other month if that). I started smoking the hookah because there is virtually no nicotine and it makes cigarettes taste like shit.

3) Research the risks.

Honestly, if you are going to sucessfully kick the habit, you have to honestly want to do it. I enjoy smoking, but i enjoy being able to breathe more.

I smoked for about two years. To this day, I still feel its that it all in my head. Ill smoke a black and mild or cigar every once in a while when Im with the guys though but Ive quit cigs. For me, all I had to do was tell myself I dont need them anymore. This my sound a little stupid but bare with me. As a suggestion whos seen other friends quit, dont carry enough money to buy them when you're out. Cant smoke if you dont have em. Also, replacing the habit is a good idea too. Chewing gum sounds a little cliche but it helps.
