I\'ve been smoking for 2 years, a pack a day.
down to my last 5 smokes, wanted to know if anyone here was a smoker and if they have attempted quitting.
If you could share how long the cravings still hung around i\'d appreciate it
-
I\'ve only been a social smoker. I nearly got addicted as a teen to smoking but luckily, every girl I went steady with didn\'t like smokers so I would stop. Hence, I\'ve never really gotten hooked.
You should try to cut it down to just a few sticks a week. It\'ll save you a LOT of money. Just add up all the money you\'ve spent on smokes and you\'ll be surprised. Some people spend thousands of dollars a year on smokes. That\'s literally burning money.

stoped almost 3 years ago and when I drink I still "crave" one. Worst habit I had even gotten myself into.
-
don\'t smoke, did for about 1 year when i was in year 7. long time ago and haven\'t touched one since.
-
Never even tried it, don\'t want to either.
-
I\'ve smoked a pack a day for the last 13 years.
I\'ll be dead soon.
-
Smoked and quit multiple times. I smoke 2 packs a day now.
If you can make it 4 days you have it licked. I usually have another bad craving at around 6 months. That is the one that gets me back on them.
-
Non smoker here. I have \'other type\' of cravings ......:laughing: (how \'bout some good luv ! )

In july my father suffered a severe heart attack in which the doctor told us it was a miracle he surivived. Even more, he has mad a 98% recovery since then. He was a frequent smoker and plaque build up had been sitting in an arterie and under stress it suddenly released inducing a massive heart attack. He hasn\'t touched a cigarette since that day. He used to smoke 2 and a half packs a day. Furthermore, my mother got so scared because of it she stopped completely also. She smoked a pack a day.
-
never have done...woudnt start...dont c why anyone my age would
-
2 F***ing packs a day capcom? That shit is rediculous.
My mother smoked up until a year or so ago.
Ive smoked "squares" and weed but i hated that shit (cigs). Didnt do anything for me. The part that sickens me about that shit is that theres this whole smoking etiquette and style. Its like you cant get away with just plainly smoking one, you have to look "kool" doing it. Not only that but nobody here will ever say cigarette because it sounds "stupid." Some people dont and im not saying all people do but theres rarely a person i know that doesnt have this "way" of smoking.
I mean if you want to **** your lungs up and not be able to be physically active then be my guest but theres no way in hell you would catch me doing that shit again.
Sorry to seem like a dick but sometimes i cant help but feel a certain hatred towards people that either smoke at my age or just have this way about them.
meh.

thanks for the input guys...I stop at midnight tonight.
1 CIGGARETTE left

I used Nicorette to quit and on December 11th, it will be 1 year without smoking. It was hard for the first 2 weeks, but after that it got alot easier. I didn\'t even chew the maximum 20 pieces a day, I only would chew about 4-5 pieces per day. You might have more success with an aid like Nicorette, or Nicoderm. It\'s expensive though.
-
I know Vapor smokes pole if that counts
-
i have one a day normally after dinner
more if i go to the bar
a pack a day (or more) is just frightening (and stupid)
-
I used to be really bad about smoking a pack a day (or more). But now I made myself leave my cigarettes at work, so I can only smoke them there. So a pack pretty much lasts me a week now, and it\'s a good stress reliever at work... even if it is killing me.
I once quit for 6 months a few years back, but went out to a bar with some buddies that smoked and couldn\'t help myself after the 8th beer. :(
-
I took one hit from a cig. At a party up in school. Hated it.
-
My co-worker says accupuncture worked for him. The doc put the needles in his ear (not the canal) and within 3 sessions his cravings stopped.
He told this to a woman who also wanted to quit, she tried it out and it only took her one session. :eek:
Worth a look if you\'re serious about quitting.
-
same can be said about 1 a day mm.. go figure.
-
If he can control it to 1 a day it really isn\'t that bad. I\'ve never smoked but 1 a day isn\'t going to kill you. And if it does, something else would have killed you eventually anyway.
-
soully is just mad cause the aborigines smoked in the grass hut he lived in and burned it down
-
Good joke mm :rolleyes:
I think u need more friends, maybe practice some new material with them. Your jokes are just LAME
-
I think I\'ve might have had 5 cigs in my life. Now a fine cigar is another story.
-
How the hell can someone smoke 50 cigarettes a day?
Where do you find the time?
Thats 2 per hour if you stay up, 3 if you sleep...
Hell, 20 a day is frightening...
-
I\'m clean I don\'t smoke. I\'d like to keep my lungs thank you very much ;)
-
I\'ve never tried one. The only reason I could ever come up with to smoke was to get addicted and quit cold turkey just to be able to tell people they were pussies when a craving made them go against their will power as they tried to quit.
"My doctor showed me a picture - it was a smoker\'s lung.. Woah it was gross and disgusting! Then he showed me another picture, a healthy guy\'s lung... Woah it was gross and disgusting!"

Anyway, I huff spray paint.

Blah...rehab is for quitters <---- has nothing to do with anything...
Anyway...hmmm...yeah...my dad stopped smoking cancer sticks when the doctor told him he had lung cancer...hmm...I don\'t know why he\'d stop after that :rolleyes:. It turned out it was just pneumonia, but that scared the shiz outta me. Plus he\'s had cancer before, but recovered from that...so I haven\'t seen him smoke in like 3 years.
My uncle is up to 2 packs a day...I think...and he looks like ass...like a walking corpse...except overweight? Never mind. He has emphysema, and at his last birthday party, he couldn\'t even blow out a candle. The doctor showed him his lungs...they looked like barbecue chicken. Smoking is really good for you...:D:D:D

k day one is almost done.
didn\'t have a pack of smokes today like I usually do.
so far i\'ve had 6 puffs (2 drags) from smokes my friends had going.
its been rough but I hope to keep cutting that number down day by day.
-
^^^^
Yes...good for you...keep it up man. Good luck...
-
I smoked from 14-26, haven\'t had a cig or even a puff for 2 1/2 years.
Best thing I ever did. I\'d say it took me about 4 months before I just didn\'t care about them anymore.
Strange thing is sometimes I dream I had a cig and wake up and think I\'d ruined my 2 year run, then I\'d go hang on it was only a dream.
