I smoked 15 to a max of 25 a day (Marlboro reds). My eldest child asked me to stop because he wanted me to live as long as I could. For them that have children, you'll know how touching a thing like that can be.
I went online and did a few searches on how to stop the habbit and came aross this article on Cancer.org

After 3 years since I quit, all the facts in this quote are 100% accurate (even if they are 20 years old).
It's very hard and your only chance is if you're moraly aware of what can happen to you if you don't quit. If you have children then you have a good reason to quit.

great tip... though i dont like the taste of zoethout
i finally attempted to quit a while ago when i really wanted to. 3 days without a cig and i noticed it was really easy. But then i thought hm one cigarette wont hurt. It wasnt a severe craving, i just felt like smoking a cig and thought it is so easy to quit, why would i smoke the rest of the pack if its so easy? But its the habit of smoking when you have access to them. Smoked the rest of the pack in 2 days and now im full on smoking again...

and you can only quit if you want to! I really wanted to quit so thats why those days seemed so easy, then i started thinking 'oh it doesnt hurt if i smoke one' and then its over.
Dont even attempt to quit if you are not 100% behind it.

This is how I quit in August of 09 and have not smoked a cig since.

Every time I wanted a cigarette I would take a bong hit instead. It made me quit smoking after 10 years of smoking.

Downfall: Now I smoke a ounce a weed every week. ;\

Use the patch and never drink booze again. I'm not going to lie to you. It's been 3 years for me and I still have trouble from time to time. If I was to drink, I would be smoking again.

Just quit. It's easier than you think. Just stop smoking?

ice cold turkey. Craving only lasts for 15min - tough it out. 2 weeks you'll be good. Try not to drink because you will slip up and have one - After a few while having drinks it's a slippery slope back to full time

About eight years ago my brother told me:

"JUST QUIT AND STOP BEING SUCH A FUCKING PUSSY ABOUT IT..."

That worked for me...

Hypontism which takes you an internal tour of your body and makes a pit stop at that black lung that is displayed in this thread. Completely workfed for me.

Don't buy any.

in the uk, the nhs is offering some wizz bang tablets that make you want to stop, plus counserling.

my mate is doing it and has quit smoking.

if any of you are in the uk, contact your doctor about it.

if your not in the uk, heck why would you want to stop, as you have nothing worth living for. he he.

Stop buying cigarettes.

A practical trick that works is to take your pack of cigarettes and lighter right now, and carry them preferably to another floor of your home. If you are in a one story home, place them on top of the refrigerator. If you have 2 floors and you are on the top, the smokes stay on the bottom and vice versa. In short, stop keeping them within an easy reach! When you get that desire and do the automatic reach, you will remember that you are quitting and they are not there. The first few times you resist walking to the fridge, you will be rewarded with a dose of hooray brain juice and you are firmly on the road.

Eventually, you'll hold out longer than ever and have one more in the pack and you'll butt it out. Now you have to remember that you're not buying them anymore. If you are dying then raid an ashtray, smoke one of your butts. Pretty gross, so do it until you dont have anymore tobacco anywhere in the house. You should be done with it by now, so hold a mock funeral for all of your smoking gear. Throw your ashtrays in a shoebox and say goodbye to your old "friend" by tossing it in the dumpster, or bury it in the yard. Seriously. Those things have been part of you all these years, and you should mark their permanent passing.

Nope - people who know me or have worked with me know the meaning of my user name (hint: see sig :thumbsup )

You should try Blucigs
I cut down from a pack to about 4-5 cigs a day now, love smoking it at the Office...

I like the fact that you can smoke it just about anywhere :winkwink:

BLU isn't a good choice
How much does their affiliate program pay, anyway?

WTF am I going to do with 10 Humidors stuffed with cigars now?.I gotta smoke em

I'll have to remember this approach whenever I'm affiliating something...better than randomly spamming shit like most people do here, unless that's a regular cig chopped to have a blue tip, lol.

I love Rolls Royce
And that guy seemed like he earned his

get addicted to snus !

A buddy of mine went that route, now he smokes OP's.

I'm serious about these e-cigs
I been off of cigarettes all month except a couple times when I was drunk
Even when I was drunk I had two one time and three another time

Today I thought I wanted a cigarette and half way through it I almost puked and threw it away

Unbelievable

I tried countless times to quit smoking over the years and nothing ever seemed to help stop my cravings. On March 11th I tried the patch for the first time. I have now been tobacco free for 7 months. It took a lot of will power but I would never have been able to quit cold turkey.
