It is alway easier to quit something later....you are stalling so get it in gear and quit now.3

I smoked for 18 years. Quit 6 years ago. I didn't have any withdrawl pangs bc of the method I used. It was like a miricle. I came across this book in Meijer one day a long long time ago and it changed my life. Now I tell anyone who will listen about the book. It's under 7 bucks on Amazon. I hope no matter what method you use you succeed https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Carrs-Easy-Stop-Smoking/dp/0615482155/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501083806&sr=8-1&keywords=easy+way+to+quit+smoking+allen+carr1

I quit in 2009. I used Swedish snus until I got used to not smoking, then quit the snus. Quitting the nicotine was pretty easy once I quit the smoking habit.
I did have a doctor tell me that losing weight was more important than quitting smoking, but I wasn't doing either particularly well at the time. I finally decided to quit because I was working as a math tutor and had to get right up to people and got really self conscious about the smell.1 -
Best thing I ever did was quit for good in 2006. My advice...Just do it cold turkey. You will not regret it. You don't fully realize how awful smoking is for you until you haven't done it for some time. I would rather be 60 pounds overweight than be a smoker if I had to choose. But being a nonsmoker combined with being at a healthy weight is the best option.2

I have been a vaper for 18months and ciggys are starting to sneak back in! I don't know about you but I get a kick out of the first smoke after exercise and that would probably be one of the hardest *kitten* to quit if I where to pack in all together.
I used to use the logic of 'if I can run a mile better then a non smoker then there is no reason to quit' ... addiction makes you rationalise the weirdest stuff! haha but 18months ago I wanted to be a healthy person, and smoking outside the gym as a loner is pretty embarrassing so I chose to vape in the car ... all I know is it has just been another way of extending the quit date. So relating to the 'quit after summer' statement, why do you want to pro-long it?0 -
I used to be a 2-3 PAD smoker...quit cigarettes in 2012. I still smoke a cigar on the patio most evenings.2

Same here, switched to vaping , need all the O2 you can get at exercise.
I swear to never give up drinking beer or wine though3 -
I have been vaping since 2012 and haven't touched a cig since then. I feel Soooo much better without tobacco.0

I've been trying to quit since May...not going very well. Been smoking for 16 years. I was given the book the easy way to quit smoking by Allen Carr, and I am still finding myself smoking. Its all in my head though, and its funny because I even realize that, yet still smoke occasionally! Pretty much only when drinking, on weekends. And the weekend drinking stalls the weight loss...it's a never ending cycle for me.0

I smoked for nearly 10 years. eventually I got into vaping with a decent mod and quality e-juice. After a while I worked my nicotine levels down low. Then I got sick and quit my job soon after. Both of these removed any desire to vape and I quit that as well. Vaping is so much less addictive than cigarettes.
About a year after I quit smoking I began losing weight thanks to MFP and calorie counting. Two years later my SO and I are down 113 and 72 LBS with little to no added exercise.1
