How To Quit Smoking:

The simple 2 step method :)

Step 1: Hold the chemical engineering please.

Next time you go to get smokes, take a look at that "TOP" or "Bugler" tobacco in the pouch or in the can (yes, just like the bums get), they usually come with rolling papers so you'll be all set.

I hear some people whining "But I can't roll!".. Don't worry, you'll learn pretty damn quick if you want to get your fix.


There are numerous reasons for "switching" brands and going to roll-your-owns when your wanting to quit.. lets list a few:

A) You don't like your brand anyway (or you wouldn't want to quit)

B) There are less additives and chemical engineering efforts put on "roll-your-own" tobacco. You'll actually have a chance to ween yourself from roll-your-own, as opposed to the name brands who are famous for engineering your cigs to spread the nicotine all around your body making you crave it more as it depletes.

C) Because your lazy -- Do NOT buy a roller & DO NOT preroll smokes. Make yourself roll one every time you want one. This will help build your desire to quit.

C) For the visuals -- In 30 to 90 days look at your fingers. Pretty no? Your fingers should have a nice orangy black tint (nicotine stains) where you hold the smoke -- after only 30 to 90 days, FROM JUST HOLDING IT. Now imagine what your lungs look like after the xity x YEARS that you've been smoking.

When you see how fast it will stain your fingers, this should also help you increase your true desire to quit smoking.


Step 2: Patch Up!

(If you've tried the patch before -- read this anyway)

Now that your actually READY to quit smoking, go get yourself 2 boxes of nicotine patches. If you smoked around a pack a day, get BOTH boxes (30 days worth total) as the ~7mg patches.

You'll probably be worried you wont get enough nicotine or whatever, but remember the idea to get OFF the nicotine here, not redirect the addition to another delivery system.


Now, here is the MOST IMPORTANT thing to remember when on the patch. There _will be_ times when your stress level raises and you feel like you need a smoke. But just calm yourself & breathe because you are getting nicotine, but for whatever reason your stress level spiked higher than the nicotine supply & you feel like you need more. So calm your ass down & in ~10 mins or so you'll be cool again from the nicotine being cranked out by the patch.

The key thing to remember is you ARE getting nicotine, you don't need a smoke at that point, you need to relax & work through the stress on your own. Because very soon your going to need to handle stressfull situations without nicotine in any form ;)

And NEVER think about giving in, because once you start contradicting what you told yourself you were going to do -- it's over, you'll be smoking within minutes.


Note: The patch makers would like you to go on a ~10 week program...but fuck that. You should only need 4 weeks tops or your a weakling and don't really want to quit : )



Good Luck :thumbsup

BRB i gotta get a pack of smokes

Step #3: Get a pitchfork and stab yourself in the crotch with it repeatedly...because you're gonna feel like you want to die anyway...might as well give yourself a solid tangible reason...

I'll smoke to that

I roll my own smokes... always have, always will. It actually only takes about 5 seconds to roll one once you get the hang of it, and the nicotine stains aren't that bad.
Tastes a lot better than normal cigarettes as well.
