If your being sarcastic stiz then if people have thought of that and havent done it then they are WEAK minded. Its that simple.

I always come across people who want to quit sooo bad and say they have tried everything and blah blah but yet I see them go to get gas or something and they come back with a fresh pack! haha its so dumb.

If you want to quit then just stop smoking. I mean how hard is it to tell yourself no?

I decided to quit because I use to be able to wake up and run 3 miles with little or no breaks. I started smoking and tried to do that and could barely run 1. I was like "fuck this" and just quit smoking.

Those patches and shit are lame. Limiting yourself could work but then your still smoking. The whole point is to stop, not keep it to a minimum.

I quit/quitted cold turkey last month and have not relapsed.

The first couple of days was hard but after a week I didn't even think about it.

Sex > Cigs

So everytime you have a craving, go take the gf to the bedroom. Easy as that. Well, maybe not that easy.

Bubbles · 08-15-2008, 09:35 PM

Fucking on the streets and at the workplace.

I want to live in a world where you can buy a pack of girls for a few bucks and each one is good for one fuck, then you get rid of it, no emotions..........I'd never touch another cigarette in my life.

Is nicotine really an addictive substance?

The U.S. Surgeon General, the American Psychiatric Association, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse have declared that nicotine is an addictive substance. Nicotine is recognized as the most powerfully addictive drug in common use.

Worldwide, deaths attributable to the nicotine driven behavior of tobacco use are currently about 13,700 people per day (World Health Organization, 2006). Smoking affects the health of nonsmokers, including unborn children. In the U.S., secondhand smoke causes 65,000 deaths annually (CalEPA, 1997).

Studies show that the relapse rate for nicotine use is high. Some NicA members have found that quitting became more difficult the second or third time around. We have found that willpower and determination were insufficient forces to overcome an addiction to nicotine. The program made it possible to get free.

Nicotine Anonymous sees nicotine addiction as a disease that affects the nicotine addict physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Two characteristics of an addiction are compulsive use of a substance and continued use despite adverse consequences. Our use of nicotine has certainly been compulsive and the consequences tend toward fatality.

Too often, even major health problems do not cause the nicotine addict to stop using for any sustained length of time. Heart attacks, cancer, and emphysema are directly linked to tobacco use. Health concerns can generate fear and anxiety such that we return to nicotine to allay these emotions.

There is a physical craving, too, which is very real and very powerful; it is hardly noticed until one tries to do without nicotine for a day or two. At that point, many take to nicotine to quell the craving.

We may become dependent on nicotine to soothe our emotional pains and to fill the emptiness that results from the absence of a spiritual power in our lives. To end our dependence on nicotine we must find something that can fill its role in our lives without killing us. Recovery is our goal in Nicotine Anonymous.

The attitudes expressed by some of those people that say smokers are "weak," that's the kind of attitude that keeps people from quitting, because they become self-defeated.

If the OP wants to quit smoking, exhibit more support, instead of being an asshole.

TravisSW · 08-15-2008, 11:28 PM

what my friend did to try to help his brother quit smoking

every time he lit up, my friend would punch his brother...HARD
good method, but sadly it didn't work. I don't think he's so much as a smoker, but a..um..shit forgot the word, but ah! a social smoker lol
--

When I was with my first gf, she smoked. I wanted her to stop, I made her actually cut down and quit because I said I wouldn't kiss her at all if she smoked. I did it once, omg it was ass!

**West** · 08-15-2008, 11:42 PM

Seriously, get the Gum. Go to wally world and get the most narsty normal flavor/cheap brand. No reason to start enjoying the gum chewing. You will think you are addicted to the gum for awhile, its good shit

After awhile just have 3 a day, 2 a day, 1 a day, etc.

If you aren't completely against chewing tobacco get something plain like Beechnut and chew it IF you ever get a wicked craving. But I would stay away from it.

It works, me + 2 friends are proof via the same method. Its been 6 months without any nicotine. I had a cig when I went out and was drinking and nearly barfed. Nasty shit.

In the end you have to be committed.

*DALAZ_68* · 08-16-2008, 04:00 AM

i went from 3 packs a week to like 1/2 a pack a weekend... im slowly getting there but its getting there...i dont smoke during the week just rarely during the weekend

Yup. It's not cheap nor is it too expensive. And yes, everyone I know who had this laser therapy has stopped smoking.

If it was that easy for you then good for you bro, more power to you. But to most other people it ain't that easy.

ESmorz · 08-16-2008, 04:41 AM

I just realized it was killing my lung capacity and singing voice.

It was as easy as throwing out my last pack.

Have never even though about habitual smoking again. I might have one once in a blue moon when I am shit faced, but even thats rare.

Thanks?

I apologize if you or anyone else thinks Im being an asshole about this topic but Im really not trying to be. I understand that there are those people who have smoked for like one or two years and quit cold turkey and then there are those who have smoked for 10+ years and cant just put them down. My mom is one of those people who has smoked since she was like my age and she is 34 now. I understand that shes not going to be able to just throw away her pack and never think about cigarettes again.

But what makes me upset is when she complains to my aunts and shit how she is trying to hard not to smoke and how she has tried to cut back and stuff but then everytime I see her she has a pack laying right beside her.

This is where it comes down to how bad you want it. If you cant quit cold turkey then here is what I would suggest.

First try the patches or gum. Buy that shit and try it but DONT buy cigs. Patches and gum still contain nicotine so you somewhat get your cravings by those. Just keep clear of cigarettes as best you can. When you go into the store to pay for gas or something dont look at all the yummy cigs and just tell yourself no.

Also you can start to exercise more and that will get rid of your cravings. Try working out for an hour or jogging your local walking track. I promise you after about an hour of lifting weights or after jogging a mile or two you will NOT want to smoke. Even if you do it will hurt you and taste nasty as hell and you will want to put it out.

My bad if most of you people think I was being harsh or an asshole. I come from a family of die hard smokers and it just pisses me off when they cant quit and dont make any effort to quit.

It all comes down to how bad YOU, the smoker, really wants to quit. If you want to you will take every measure you can to either quit or SEVERLY cut back which will lead to quitting and if its just not that important to you to quit then your just simply not going to.

OKR_240SX · 08-16-2008, 05:21 PM

Go to a hospital and ask to see someone with lung cancer. My girlfriend made me start to quit then seeing a guy I used to party with in the hospital due to lung cancer and loosing the battle. He's only a few years older then me too. Gum and working out has helped.

Andrew Bohan · 08-16-2008, 05:43 PM

my dad quit when he had a stroke in 1990

but then he started up again and tried to keep it a secret from me. it was fuckin hilarious how much he failed at hiding it.

sometimes i'd look outside and see him smoking, then he'd see me and throw the cig away real quick, like i wouldn't catch that

and he'd a pack in his shirt pocket, like i couldn't tell what it was

not to mention his breath always smelled like smoke. LOL

eventually he actually did quit. he's been on gum for a long time now.

my mom quit cold turkey at the same time. just stopped like that after smoking for like 40 years.

i went to the body worlds exhibit when it came to san jose, and they actually had a smoker's lungs on display

YUCK

drunkmunky · 08-16-2008, 05:52 PM
