Quitting cigarettes

[ashauler]

I will have to say that I wish I had totally given up the nic when I quit smoking cigarettes, I think the cravings would have left already. I challenge myself to not smoke anything at least 1 or 2 days a week, and I always try to smoke an entire cigar when I light one....no hurried puffs and quick put-out.....just make sure its the taste/experience that I am after, not the nic. Its hard, and I wish you all the best!!

If I can quit smoking cigaretts anyone can. I laid em down in 1984. It took several years for the cravings to go away. Now I detest cigarette smoke.

Be strong...It can be done.

I laid 'em down in 1980 and picked them up again in 2004.

i haven't had a cigarette in 2.5 months and i'm over it now... i'll get the occasional craving when i'm with friends who smoke but for the most part its out of my system... i had to resort to a dip 2-3 times within the first week but after that i've been perfectly fine... i don't smoke strong enough cigars to get much of a nic kick so its not really keeping it in my system from what i can tell

good luck with the quitting, keep it up, its worth it

Yes,yes. Cold turkey. Whenever I got the urge for a cigarette, I just told myself it'll pass in a minute or two and I'll be fine for while. Easiest way to pick up something and smoke it is to have a few drinks and then you really really want that smoke. Take it easy on the booze while youre at it. And start back slow. A strong smoke after taking time off can make you feel like Good Luck

I admire anyone that goes cold turkey. I'll not wish you luck, because there is none involved. Either you want to quit or you don't. Take it fom a person who smoked two thirds of his life. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!
