I quit smoking cigs - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

blu808 · 03-21-2006, 08:40 PM

Ok so usually im bored and just sit around and smoke. I typically smoke like a pack a day max.
So i got that nicoderm patch, that you wear on your arm.
I didnt think it would work at all, but i have to say that after 5 mins of wearing it, i didnt want to smoke at all.

Then today i woke up, and felt like shit. I was dizzy, stomach hurting, fat headache, and my eyes werent working correctly.
I did some research, and apparently nicotine withdrawls are pretty bad. But then i put another patch on, and it went away.

It is really weird how good it feels to not smoke, i dont feel tired all the time, and i can actually think straight. I never figured that smoking cigs had those effects on people.

Weird huh?

sw20>>s14 · 03-21-2006, 08:52 PM

so the patch works? i was thinking about it, but its expensive...one patch is supposed to be equivelent to 7 cigarettes...yeah, recently i cut back on caffeine and nicotine...feel like shit, snap at people, have headaches, and cannot wake up in the morning...maybe i should look into the gum or patch...

Stick with it man! Damn it sucks so bad quitting, but once its done life gets better. For me the withdralws where eaiser to deal with than life two weeks later. Then I realised that I needed to adjust my lifestyle. I stuck with my old smoker schedule and found that I had an extra 10 minutes before and after everything I did. That was when the serious mental cravings kicked in.

2iv0 sx · 03-21-2006, 09:13 PM

Im proud of you.. just keep this up!

**Phlip** · 03-21-2006, 09:23 PM

Quitter!!!
Quitters never get ahead in life!

... joking, stick to it, I never started because the chicks I'm into aren't into smokers.

HyperTek · 03-21-2006, 09:27 PM

good job man stick to it.. I never picked up smoking, glad i didnt, i already got conjested lungs acting up on me every now and then..

Ricks15 · 03-21-2006, 09:30 PM

cigarettes=

and no luck getting kissed by the ladies.

Andrew Bohan · 03-21-2006, 09:31 PM

one time my dad quit smoking and he saved enough money in a year to take my mom and me to hawaii

blu808 · 03-21-2006, 09:34 PM

Thanks guys.

Its super weird i walk outside, and go into the garage, and i dont even think about lighting a cig.

I would strongly recomend the patch over the gum, from the research i have done it is easier with the patch.

kouki_s14 · 03-21-2006, 09:39 PM

good for you, smoking is bad. i never started and im glad i didnt
some of my friends, after not having a cig for a day look depressed as hell
i dont wanan be like that and plus it saved a shitload of money
money you can now spend on your car, that is when you stop buying those patches

m072514 · 03-21-2006, 09:41 PM

keep it up man! im wishy-washy myself, but the health benefits help me out!

blu808 · 03-21-2006, 09:42 PM

haha. yea the patch is $110 for a month program.

Well you definitely snap at people that's for certain. Next time you do that too me I'll kick your ass ChangMan....

ryangreg · 03-21-2006, 09:56 PM

Smoke bud to wene yourself off tobbaco!

All that shit about 1 joint is equal to 20 smokes is bullshit! Dont believe me, do some research.

-usmd-180sx · 03-21-2006, 10:13 PM

ya man, I tried quitting, then went to Europe. And came back and my lungs hurt like hell right now. So I am in the process of quitting again! DAMNIT! Im good not smoking at all for a while, and then I have a drink or 2, and then BAM! A fucken cig teleports into my mouth somehow..

Quitting smoking out of a regular days schedule isnt the hard part, its quitting smoking when your drinking!!!!

Good luck to you guys that quit, and also pray for me too =/

L1ama · 03-21-2006, 10:18 PM

My friends are trying to quit smoking cigs by smoking weed, I'm pretty sure it will work...
(sarcasm)

EchoOfSilence · 03-21-2006, 10:21 PM

blu808 · 03-21-2006, 10:38 PM

hahaha, you know you love it jay

OdessaS13 · 03-21-2006, 10:49 PM

so its a bill for a month program, how long are you suppose to use it before the cravings stop? that would explain me yellin at people, not wanting to wake up and falling asleep in class, i just blamed it on the boring as lectures, guess not

blu808 · 03-21-2006, 10:54 PM

Yea. it decreases the amount of nic supplied over the weeks. should take a month or less.

Or you could just go to jail for a few months.
That seemed to work for me back in the day.

But jail isnt as fun.

OMGWTFBBQ · 03-21-2006, 11:01 PM

how does the patch work exactly

Your body absorbs the nicotine in the patch through the skin. It keeps the drug withdrawals at bay while you work on breaking the physical and mental habit of smoking.
For me that was the hard part. I went cold turkey and it sucked, but the activity of smoking is what was so hard for me to get over.

I quit almost 6 years ago and I still want to smoke. Especially when I drink liquor!

reefer1114 · 03-22-2006, 12:56 AM

glad you stopped. i recently quit last december, just straight up stopped cold turkey. hard to be around people that smoke but damn it was so easy for me to quit. haha. good luck with it and hope you stop fully...

95zilvia · 03-22-2006, 01:02 AM

We'll see how long you can hold of.
Hope you can accomplish your goals tho.
I'm proud of you.

nistech · 03-22-2006, 01:26 AM

well if u think about smoking again, just remember everyone who is on this thread counting on u to not to smoke, and who believe in u telling u that u can do it.

blu808 · 03-22-2006, 01:32 AM

Thanks i appreaciate that.

I will.

ALTRNTV · 03-22-2006, 02:32 AM

Let's make a deal Luke. If you smoke again, you have to send me a Weld Locd4.

I started smoking about 2 years ago. I quit 6 months ago and have never felt better.
