Just don't light up your next one!

mcmc · 06-08-2004, 03:26 AM

pure energy · 06-08-2004, 03:30 AM

One less cigar everyday!

kmanrox · 06-08-2004, 03:48 AM

grow up and just stop smoking?

FlyingIguana · 06-08-2004, 03:56 AM

when you want a smoke, jerk off

mcmc · 06-08-2004, 04:28 AM

30 times a day ? .... LOL

Bendox · 06-08-2004, 04:30 AM

Hypnose is a method

30 fags a day? you cant stop it, the fags will tell you it's genetic... i've never had a fag experience nor do i intend to.

Pappa · 06-08-2004, 06:27 AM

I quit smoking a while back. Lasted 2 weeks
Good luck quiting.

mcmc · 06-08-2004, 06:45 AM

The way I quit smoking is cold turkey. It's tough the first week or two, but after it gets easier. Pretty soon you will just realize you dont smoke anymore.

Seriously , when you get your urges , just DONT smoke. You dont have to, just dont do it, think of how shitty youll feel (mentally anyway) after for cheating. You can do it ;)

replace your smoking addiction with a $5 a day pokie machine addiction, maybe you'll win some money

I would highly recommend giving Quitnet a try. After over 20 years of smoking 2 packs a dayI could NOT have done it without that place.

Lykos · 06-08-2004, 07:31 AM

Just quit it

you'll quit after a heart attack or lung cancer.

I had a heart attack and heart surgery, cured me.

that big scare down the middle of your chest is a great reminder.

Thanks for the link

kowntafit · 06-08-2004, 08:04 AM

I'd definately try some of that nicorette shit. Patches, I think you can even get tablets which get rid of the cravings. Smoking cigarettes seems pretty pointless to me.

zzgundamnzz · 06-08-2004, 08:06 AM

Stop smoking completly.

Throw out all your smokes, matches, lighters.

When the craving gets really bad stick a patch or get some nicorette.

Good luck quitting.

doober · 06-08-2004, 08:12 AM

when your mind is ready to quit you will quit, unfortunately for you and many others the mind is never fully prepared hence they will smoke forever

ImLost · 06-08-2004, 08:12 AM

if you find a way let me know, i want to quit badly. i quit once for a month with the patch and wellbutrin, but once i stopped those i started smoking again. you might have better luck.

EviLGuY · 06-08-2004, 08:14 AM

It depends.. some people they can quit no problem at all. Some people like my mother and one of my ex's couldn;t quit to save their lives.

I think the patch or the gum might be worth a shot.

That won't be a problem for me anymore as smoking in all bars, restaurants, night clubs etc is illegal as of 1/6 this year in Norway. Going out drinking and not smoking is actualy easier than I thought it would be. Problem free actually.

Several of my friends tried that. They all quit smoking right away, and have never smoked again. Guess how I plan to quit?

Anyone trying to quit should absolutely try this.

Nifield · 06-08-2004, 08:23 AM

I've been on the patch for about 2 weeks now, working great for me i dont have any cravings for cigarettes at all.

Bigfuck · 06-08-2004, 08:29 AM

Quitting is hard I'm down to 1 or 2 a day now

bizmak · 06-08-2004, 11:11 AM

don't even start. like me.

StarkReality · 06-08-2004, 11:15 AM

I already tried several times, from my experience Zyban works best, you should consult a doctor before taking it, but it helps for the first most critical days...I felt a bit like drunken, but didn't want to touch a cig...long term you need to get this "smoking is fun" out of your head, something I didn't manage to succeed with...so far.

True, the only problem about this is that once the craving start hitting you, mind changes pretty fast

Eat more and go to the gym... Thats the best way bro..

the costs of a package of cigs here is a good incentive to stop right away.

YEP... totally agree... went 24 hours once.... lost a lot of friends within that period.

I even tried a substitution... started smoking only weed... still did not help

LuvJen · 06-08-2004, 11:38 AM

I've been wanting to quit for several years, been a smoker for 8 years now and I'm not even 23 yet. I first heard about the book about a year ago here on GFY and thought it was a joke. The bf and I were at the bookstore about a month ago now and saw it on the shelf. I looked at it everyday for the following week on my desk and laughed. I finally did pick it up to read it....I smoked while reading the whole book and 3 weeks and 2 days later, I quit just like that. I didn't even think that it was possible since most of my friends and co-workers are smokers but it really works. Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Smoking

SleazeQueen · 06-08-2004, 11:38 AM

It was easy for me to quit. My boyfriend at the time and I were on a trip in Wyoming. One morning he couldn't stop looking at his tongue in the rear view mirror of the van. He had a sore spot that wouldn't go away.

Fast forward to the end of our 3 week trip. I convinced him to go to a doctor and it turned out he had tongue cancer from smoking. Right where he used to always hold the cig in his mouth to take a drag. They removed a piece of his tongue the size of a quarter and gave him 3 months of radiation therapy that made everything taste like alluminum foil and made him talk like he was retarded.

Fast forward again 8 months. All of the sudden he had a big sore bump on his neck. Turned out to be more cancer. Here's him after the surgery:

Had his jugular and that whole muscle on the side of your neck removed along with all his lymph nodes. After that, more radiation and this time 6 months of chemo where he barfed for hours and hours until he would beg me to give him some water to drink so he'd have something to throw up instead of dry heaving.

A year after that, his left lung removed. Scar from the middle of his chest around to the middle of his back. He couldn't walk a quarter mile without being winded. No more surfing. No more windsurfing. No more playing with his teen aged sons the way he used to. No camping. No hiking and really limited on his fishing.

More fast forward. October 1993... he was sitting in the car on the way to the doctors and he shifted in the front seat. There was a loud crack and he was screaming. He shattered his cancer ridden pelvis. A few weeks later he didn't know who I was as the cancer was in his spine, pelvis and brain.

I never had another urge to smoke.

Personally... life it too short not to do what you enjoy... if you like to smoke... do it... if you like to eat... fuck the diet.... Live life to it's fullest while you can... Why prolong a life when you are not living it to it's fullest and doing what you like to do... no matter what the outcome is.

easiest way to quit smoking is to never have started to begin with.

What a fucking excellent post!

If this post doesn't shock and wake people the fuck up to stop killing themselves, nothing will.

Who knows how many people will quit after reading this and therefore how many lives you will have saved/prolonged.

Well Done
