Anyone successfully quit smoking?

[Mr. Stefani]

How did you do it? cold turkey, gum? yeah i'm up to a pack a day at 18 years old and i need to quit because it's a bad habbit.

[The Chauffeur]

me and Rob both quit something like 3 years ago, I quit cold turkey and he went on the patch. I lasted for nine months :cuss: Rob hasn't touched a cigarette since. I'm trying to syke myself out to try it his way though...it seems to have worked for him.

[WhoStheBoss_Fan]

I've tried more than once now, the longest I went was 2 weeks, its extremely hard to do. I did it cold turkey, I have also tried the gum which sucks, it made my cravings worse. As of now I am smoking again....I don't know how to not smoke, its scary to think about.

[Pentimento]

The first time I quit, I went cold turkey and it didn't last. A few years later I tapered off until I was only smoking four or five cigarettes per day and then I quit. No patches or gum, but it worked. That was fifteen years ago. I still have dreams about smoking, but I haven't had any serious cravings in about five years now. It can be done. One bit of advice that might sound a little weird: drink a lot of water. My lungs hurt like hell the first week or so after I stopped, but I read that water would help, and it did.

Best of luck to you. It's very difficult, but it's worth it.

i did try to taper off before going on the patch, and chewed a lot of gum for a couple of months afterwards (and I HATE gum) but it worked for me - it'll be 3 years this march.

it is DEFINATELY worth it, do it as soon as you possibly can.

[80s_Fan]

I quit cold turkey; just like that over 2 years ago and haven't touched one since. Still now, I get a craving for one but I know that if I touch one; I might start up again so I try really hard not to do that. I wasn't a heavy smoker to begin with but I was still one and I'm so glad that I've stopped. :woohoo:

i don't smoke, but my boyfriend did over two years ago cold turkey. He had been a smoker since he was 17. He quit at the age of 45! He just out of the blue quit. I am glad, the difference is amazing. No bad breath! I am sorry, but for those of you who smoke, you have no idea what your breath smells like!:eek: and no matter what, your clothes reek of that smell. What a difference. Being around him now is like being around a very clean open field of flowers as opposed to an old diesel truck spewing black smoke!!!!:mad:

:lol: we know we stink! The problem is the addiction part. It's probably the hardest thing i've ever had to kick. I only hope I can kick it. I don't wanna be chasin Rob around dragging along an Oxygen tank in our Golden Years :lol:

I know the addiction is hard. I had a bad habit of drinking pepsi and coke all day long. I couldn't stop. the taste would come in my mind and I had to have one AT ALL COSTS!!!! I am now slowly weaning myself off the stuff. Mmmmmm, juice sounds good right now!:D

[Number 9 Dream]

I quit smoking 2 years ago-- just slowly started cutting back and eventually just quit cold turkey.

My dad smokes. Its disgusting.

[Ireneparalegal]

Please for those of you who smoke, it's an addiction I know, I would show my boyfriend pics of smokers lungs and he was shocked. We all want you to be around for a very long time. Please try something. When you feel the need to smoke, get on the computer and post on SO. Keep the fingers busy. Here is a pic of a smokers lung:

Nasty and sad at the same time. :( :barf:

[Dean Winchester]

I never understood why smokers even bother buying cologne, perfume or body spray, the reek of the cigarette totally masks the scent anyways.

[Babes_Cat]

:eek: tim, i will never kiss you if you smell like cig. smoke! disgusting!

[AllIWantIsYourClutch]

My dad got some laser thingy done to him and he doesnt have cravings anymore. But then my aunt and grandma went and had it done and they still smoke a pack a day.

Well, I am 15, and have been smoking for a year and a half. Hey TIMO87, the word is habit. You added an extra b.

[Ireneparalegal]

Yes the lungs are real. and believe me, those were the best looking ones.

[Ireneparalegal]

:eek:

[gilligan fanatic]

I don't understand whey you would even start smoking. We know that nothing good comes from doing it. Jack Klugman is the inspiration to me why not to do it.

[Mr. Stefani]

:eek: tim, i will never kiss you if you smell like cig. smoke! disgusting!
haha i usually brush my teeth after every one, if i can. my mom doesnt even know i smoke, so i must not smell!

[Janice]

I quit cold turkey 18 years ago and never looked back. My husband quit 20 years ago. If you smoke, quitting is the best gift you can give yourself.

[dawsongirl]

My mom has a friend who went and got hypnotized. She didn't want the craving and the withdrawl symptoms, so she did that and she hasn't touched a cig since. Costs a lot (I think she paid around $300), but it worked.

still, smoeking is my #1 turnoff, so you better change that if you want to be my man baby. ;)

Oh I know. We get some customers that smell SO BAD of smoke I seriously have to hold my breathe til the transaction is over. Its as if they bathed in the ashes.

Surprised you know that considering you skip class.

:eek:

That is sooooo gross. Ewwwww. :barf: Then again, it's good that you posted those pictures...people actually need to see the harmful effects of smoking.

[Karen*]

A lot of people I know (Including dear Dad) smoke. I don't dislike someone if they smoke, but I am very much against the whole habit of smoking. Nothing turns me off more than being right next to someone who just had one or two cigarettes. I can tell when y'all have been smoking...cuz I smell it on you!! :p
