Take a look at what's killing me:

[zach79]

I'm paying $3.50 a day to slowly kill myself with these.

Good Luck!

Funny enough I'm also shooting for Monday as my quit date. I'm going to be quite the irritable bastard for a week or two though.

Just a suggestion... but don't smoke all your cigarettes when you quit. Keep the last one in the pack as a reminder, and whenever you get the craving, you can smell/play with/pretend to smoke that last cigarette. Maybe that'll help with the urge to buy another pack and start smoking again. It's worked for me for the past year, and I've probably sought comfort from that cig about 5-10 times. and I've told myself that if I start smoking again, then I have to smoke that old one first, and there's no way I'm smoking a stale old cig! so I've beat the addiction! FINALLY! ...I hope.

This might help.

My brother never actually gave up smoking.He just says he'll have one later.

So far later has lasted 30 years.

 

[T.H. Oughts]

Good for all of you giving up, I wish I had the will power to do it....

Just don't replace cigs with food. I gave up for a few months a few years ago and piled in on. I started again cause I hated the weight gain and lost the weight.... carefull of food.

Cut a plastic straw the lenght of a cigarette and have that with you. Even sit it in a clean ashtry beside you. I found that helped me.... all mind play.

I've tried to quit myself a few times. The problem is I tend to drink a bit on the weekends and I lose all will power.

I thought I was doing it softly with my song...

 

[Soblue]

You sing? I think we all need to hear that on an audio file

I've tried a few times to give the fuckers up too. I keep saying as soon as the stress lightens up in my life, I'll be able to try again. Like that's gonna happen!

I did have some success ith Zyban a few years ago, altho I fell off the wagon and started smoking again.

Good luck everyone.

I am not worried about smoking. I know my luck. Something is going to kill me and it isn't smoking. As far as I know smoking doesn't cause skin cancer, or does it?

I gave up drinking. I could quit smoking. I could diet until I look like a skeleton, I have already taken all the good stuff out of my diet. And then some ass in a SUV would run over me. Or I'd be struck by a meteor.

I want to die happy. So light 'em up boys!

 

[OUTSIDER]

Good luck guy's I hope you can kick the habit, I'm lucky I never got started on those things even though most of my family are hooked......I just never saw the point of smoking.

Once again good luck.

 

[SINthysist]

I sing.
I dance.
I like to play in the front of my pants...

 

[Soblue]

This calls for pics and audio!

 

[Kitte]

Good luck, I have given up everything but the occasional wine and my ever present cigs. Maybe someday.

In the UK you pay the equivalent of about $9 for 20 Marlboro's.

I'm going to be quite the irritable bastard for a week or two though.

And what's new about this? *giggle*




Just teasing sweetie!!! Honest!!

Only 5% of quitters quit for good.

If you need help, call your state's (or somebody elses) QuitLine.
Here's the one in IOWA 1-866-U-CAN-TRY for example.

There was a time in my life when people said "If you keep smoking and drinking like that you are going to die."

All I could think was "When?"

It is 'funny' how the older I get, the less I want to kick the bucket. I stopped drinking. I hope to stop smoking. But it will have to be when I want to, not when someone tells me to.

I fell in to the peer pressure trap. To be cool you have to smoke Kools. Plus my parents smoked, hell I got so much second hand smoke I guess I started smoking when I was born.

I warn my students, don't start, if you do, stop. The longer you smoke, the harder it is to quit. They listen about as good as I did years ago...

If you quit smoking one pack a day you will save $108.50 in a 31 day month.

In a year you will have $1302.00

In 5 years $6510

Save up and take a really nice vacation.

 

[Backyard sweaty]

Good luck!!

Supposedly if it's done cold turkey you have the greatest chance of not taking it back up again and now (4 years later) I'd agree.

Although......only $3.50 eh?? mmmmmm..............

SchoolTeacher, the great economist Walter E. Williams smokes and says shame on you to those whom say he should stop. Firstly, his body is his property. Thus he contends, if you want his organs when he dies, you must purchase them. If you don't then he has no incentive to keep them in any better shape than any other part of his body. That is, to wit, that he wants his whole body to pretty much give out at once. If one part gives out and the others are still good, then one hasn't really lived fully!
