Nicotine free cigarettes
I bought smoke free herbal cigarettes online and I smoked them instead of Marlboro lights. Every time you want a butt smoke the herbals and then eventually you stop craving them because you will not have the nicotine anymore but still get the satisfaction of smoking. It worked for me and I had been smoking for 25 years off and on.
Good luck

Good Luck
Hope you can beat it!
I've always thought
that cigarettes aren't the problem. It's the matches!
Now is the time to focus on the essential
and banish the nonessential from our lives. Soon enough smokers may be forced to quit because of supply interruptions, at least till the black market ramps up. Those dependent on alcohol, coffee, and even soft drinks will have to do without.

Good luck friend
You cannot fail.
you will not fail.
Every cigarette that you don;t smoke is a victory.
If you slip up, it's no big deal. Think of the ones you didn't smoke, and extend the time between even further.
If you get a chance, rent the movie "Cold Turkey"

it can be done ~

Hardest addicton to overcome, in my personal experience ... I quit a number of times ... but it is the most rewarding, and can be done. Both of my parents died too young because of their smoking habits. As a result, I quit 10 years ago, knowing I couldn't entertain that addiction, due to the genetic hand I was dealt.
I traded one habit for another ... a daily frozen yogurt and video, so I'd strongly advise to monitor your sugar cravings! Drink lots of water, and whenever you feel like a cigarette, just deep breathe, and it will relax you. Remember, the urges to smoke are like waves hitting the shore. In the beginning, there will be many, but they will lessen over time. However, a wave still may resurface, even after ten years.
Realizing this, I don't kid myself ... I just remember that I am powerless over cigarettes, and so I can never have one again. I was raised Catholic and there was a phrase about "avoiding the near occasions of sin". For you this means, at least temporarily, avoiding smoke-filled bars and smoker friends until you can build up your resolve. Good luck!
Anyone who has the courage to
tackle the US Empire, CAN kick the smoking habit. Once you get through the transition you'll have more energy to work for freedom.
note:
A few weeks ago, our governor (here in PA) outlined the next state budget: Smokers lose, everyone else wins. he was increasing taxes on cigarettes, making entirely new taxes for all untaxed tobacco products...
Do you really want your state's government to steal less of your money?
Anyway, I hope you can quit smoking.
Reduce your tax bill
Quit Smoking! One more reason to stay motivated.
It's really not that difficult.
All a matter of mind over matter.

but quitting is fairly easy. Just don't smoke.
I think alot of the difficulty with quitting is how it is engrained in us that quitting is so difficult. Actually, not doing something is fairly easy. Just don't do it. Don't think of it as a difficult thing.
This has worked for me in the past. The harder thing is not to go back to it. It is easy to think, months after you have quit, oh, that was easy, I can smoke again and it won't be a big deal. But it always re-activates your addiction. Just remember, all you have to do is NOT do something.

Quitting smoking
For me it was so easy, I just quit, just like that, I just said, this is bad for me and I stopped over night, but I have another problem, I cant stop eating. Im not obese, Im just very overweight, and I really need to lose weight but its just the hardest thing.
Cigarettes really are disgusting to me and were very easy to quit. I just told myself how disgusting they are and I havent touched a cigarette since, but its hard for me to stop eating. And I dont even eat a lot of sugar since I dont like it all that much, I eat a lot of MEAT, really large amounts of meat and lately because of my studies I wasnt able to workout at all. I just feel so powerless.
Personally I think cigarettes are nothing compared to the love of foooooooood. But thats probably just because of my experience.
thats tricky
Fortune Favors the Bold
because it's not like you can just stop eating food. I guess if it were me, I wouldn't worry so much about the food, and try to excersize more? Bike riding is something that burns alot of calories, but is also very fun. I don't get those people who use stationary bikes. It's like, you're taking something fun and turning it into work!

I quit April last year
I used the Commit lozenges and they worked great. Maybe that will help you. I smoked for about 13 years. I feel much better now and it saves me a heck of a lot of money.
There are so many morons I can't keep track

To quit smoking is easy:
I have done it dozens of times. And everyone quits eventually. lol
I too am struggling with the same thing right now. I am about to put them down again today. I have been doing it for about 35 years and know it will help me stay around and fight a little longer if I give it up. For some, it is not so difficult. For others, it is a horrid addiction. I am the latter rather then the former. I will be cheering for you if you will be me. Good luck.

Here's some advice for
Here's some advice for quiting :
Drink lots of citrus type drinks - orange juice, lime juice etc.... Citrus will help remove the nicotine from your body naturally and quickly.
Don't be suprised if you get kind of sick for 2 or 3 days such as getting the runs.
Good luck.

anybody who actually does quit! I have been smoking for 41 years. The longest I was ever able to quit was 2 months. For me, it did not get any easier. It was the mental withdrawal I could not handle. During those 2 months, this was what my brain was saying to me MY EVERY WAKING MOMENT: "Cigarette. I want a cigarette. I really need a cigarette. I'd like to have a cigarette." I also never felt so ill as I did those 2 months...and it was when I was young and still relatively healthy. I have wanted to quit for over a year. I have cut my cigarette consumption in half, but that's all the closer I've gotten to that goal. I recently found out about electronic cigarettes and purchased one. You are still getting the nicotine, although you can conceivably wean off even those since they come in high, medium, low and NO nicotine doses. They do not have the chemicals in them that are in tobacco today. They do not produce smoke, but a vapor, which I feel may actually be helpful to the lungs since the vapor could help break up thick secretions. I cannot take Chantix, am allergic to Wellbutrin, the gum burns my throat and doesn't work anyway, so this is my next logical step.
I don't know your age or how long you've been smoking, but I hope my story may help you in some small way.
Let us know how it works out, hon...

Which ones and where did you
Which ones and where did you get your electronic sigs? How do they taste?
Except for the fact that
a cigarette has a "soft" filter and an electronic cigarette has a hard plastic filter...I would say the experience of smoking an electronic cigarette is exactly the same as smoking a regular cigarette.
puresmoker dot com sells the e-cigarette (I have DSE901)
Now for me, I do NOT want any propylene glycol products...in fact, I'd like to know who the "idiot" (harsh, I know) is who woke up one morning and said, "Let's put propylene glycol in food products". But I digress. I only use the no nicotine cartridges because I do not want propylene glycol. I purchase the nicotine juices ( NON PG [propylene glycol]) from
Johnson Creek Smoke Juice. They have 10 different flavor sample bottles for about $20. Once you decide what flavor works for you, you can then order bigger bottles.
The guy that sold me the product said the hardest part is finding out which juice works for you. This may be weird to many, but he likes banana. So far, I prefer the tobacco flavors. They have peach, cherry, strawberry, chocolate, mint...et cetera...
Hope this has helped and if you need further information, please feel free to let me know...I am at daily paul on a regular basis. May all smokers break this vicious cycle...

You can do it!
Don't let your failure stop you from trying again. They say most smokers take several attempts to finally quit for good. That was true for me. I would quit for several months and then would have a couple thinking I could just be a social smoker but I always got hooked again. So I know that is not an option for me. I was just too addicted. I finally quit for good August '02 and so glad I did. Although I must say, there are STILL times I think "I sure could go for a smoke".
good luck with that , I've tried many times.
Whenever I try to quit I become pretty evil as well.

Good luck, love!
I've never smoked, but after being married more than 22 years to someone who's tried to quit a million times--and finally did in '08--I can tell you it can be done. I hung in there 'cause it's worth it to put up with the other person's "challenges" as they try to detach themselves from that awful hook.
Hang in there--good luck. It gets better one day, one hour, one minute at a time.
DO IT!!!!!I quit 21 days
DO IT!!!!!
I quit 21 days ago today after being a smoker of 15 years...I was given welbutron(sp), so I guess I cheated..but after 4 days of taking that I was done for good..You can do it...good luck and know that we are here for you..; )

You will never regret it.
Butt-head, again :)
My daughter-in-laws uncle, smoked until he was 65 and quit. At 75 he started coughing up blood. Lung cancer. He was told the meds they gave him would feel like a heart attack. Well, he had a heart attack and thought it was the meds and didn't go in. He wasted and looked like an Auschwitz victim before he succumbed to cancer. They should of had a closed casket funeral. His bother-in-law (emphysema) was going in and out of the funeral home for smokes. Go figure...
You are playing with death !
P.S. Do you know what a smoker does, when you tell him to stop smoking ?
flip you the bird
and light up a smoke. My death may be ugly but, it will be my own.
The Plumber
The Plumber
My ex-deceased brother-in-law was a sewer plumber
Heavy smoker, triple by-pass thirty-five, died rodding out a toilet early forties. He smoked two packs the night before croaking, and knocked back nitro-glycerin for chest pain. Since the pain didn't go away he didn't think it was his heart again. Dieabetic, Pepsi and double dogs with fries for breakfast. He was a wise guy and a laugh a minute.
His boy, a plumber and smoker too at age 40 just had a stroke last year. It is sad seeing him crawling on the floor half paralyzed.
A wise man learns from others mistakes, a normal man learns from his own mistakes and a fool never learns from anybody’s mistake.
Enjoy your smokes while you can.
Good 4u!
You can do it! It's a choice and it's all in you're head. I quit after 20 years - it'll be 2 years this May and I'm not going back!!
Oh yeah, when cravings got bad I'd take off for a walk or a jog to get your heart rate and beathing up - that helped pacify cravings.
Also, get something for the oral fixation like chewing gum or straw to gnaw on.
Good luck! Keep us posted (pun intended) on your progress.
Good luck!
Good luck!
