    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

    Thumbs up

    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!!!!!!

    On and off struggling to amass the willpower to quit, thanks to all here for the advice.
    I thought it was a tampon joke!

    Well I have had a long history with the "ettes". Smoked em for over 20 years. Hopefully done with them now. I had stopped smoking them for over three years. Started with the cigars. Enjoyed cigars quite enough, and one day on a whim decided to get some roll-yer-own baccie, for a "quick smoke". Oh, the beginnings of a long slide. The RYOs became a new habit very, very easily. Stronger than regular cigs. Then the occasional pack of pre-rollies. Ah, it is a slippery slope indeed. Then it fed itself into a heavier cigar habit and the cigar habit fed the ryo habit. Hmmm. I began searching for the strongest fullest body cigars (not cheap), and going through bag after bag of Bugler. Not good.
    So then I tried the pipe. Thankfully, I was directed to some strong baccies to try. These pack a firm nic punch and you really feel it. Not instantly like with a cig, but over the course of 5 or 10 minutes. I think this delay of nicotine delivery is important in the long run. It was so easy to lay off the RYOs and pre-rollies, like they just fell by the side. And the sense of urgency for a nic-fix is gone.
