Smoker?

i did 2 or so packs a day..finally got fed up with it and just cold turkeyed it.... the faster it is out of ur system the better and in a couple weeks your done. u just have to want it... if u use any of those stupid aids that are out there..u dont want it bad enough. those things just keep u hooked.

Well, I had tried many times and gone back. I quit once for a year and a half, went back. Tried gum, patches, you name it. One day when I was DONE, I just quit. Was it easy..HELL NO! But I guess I was just done. A few things that worked for ME were knowing that I wasn't going to be a smoker forever and if I picked one up, the NEXT time I quit I'd just have to go through the crappy part at the beginning all over again..NO THANKS! I'd been through that enough. I wanted to make that time the last time. For some reason, and yes, this is weird....I would smell my hair when I got a craving! lol I'm fully admitting it was weird and I'm also admitting that it requires no explaination, you have to find what works for you. I guess because it had smelled yuck for so long from smoking that I discovered how good it smelled and for WHATEVER reason it helped! HAHAHA. I would also take a huge deep breath. That helped pass the craving a lot of times. Hey, if skipping 3 times yelling your name helps you quit then I say do it! LOL It doesn't have to make sense if it helps you somehow! lol

how about electronic cigarettes? these are amazing, its how i quit smoking

i would say fail on this..unless ..u actually quit... trading cigs for elec cigs is not quiting. my dad started with those stupid things.. lies to his gf and says he quit smoking and has his gullible gf thinking there safe. so he is puffen in the house all day long with that thing.. u are still getting the chemical nicoteen ur adicted too..and u do now completely use the chemical so what is not use is released in to the air when u exhale. which is just as bad as second hand smoke as far as the chemical goes... i can still taste it and smell it in the air.. my dad let that thing up in my car and about kicked his *kitten* to the curb.

Electronic cigarette helped me to quit too. I used it for about a month or so and I was done. Haven't had one since.

I guess it depends on the person but I would recommend these.

How do people actually get into smoking ever since the 90s it's pretty much common knowledge it's suicide...

Its simple, when you are surrounded with smokers everyday especially if your parents and some siblings smoke then what can you expect?

Congratulations!! I hope it is as effective for you as it was for me.

I smoked 1 1/2 packs a day for 10 years and one decided that "This is stupid~and it's expensive!". So I quit. That was it. 4 years ago and counting. Best thing I ever did.

I was a pack-a-day smoker for 35 yrs. I first cut down on the amount of cigs I smoked within a day's time, then set a quit date. I have been smoke-free for 3 yrs this coming New Year's. One thing that helped...I got online and read tips from others who had successfully quit and applied as much of that information as I could to my own experience. My advice: prepare and arm yourself for the hardest times when you're going through the withdrawal phase.
I don't regret quitting. I don't want to start back. I don't crave cigarettes. I initially gained a few pounds but have now lost that weight.

Good luck to you. It's good that you're wanting to quit. That's the first step.
