Any of you smokers manage to quit?
Hey folks. Im 29 and been smoking since i was 17. So. 12 years now ive been smoking. And i wanna quit, i do the typical on off thing where i fall off the wagon.
Any of you smoke for 10+ years and manage to quit? Any tips? Normally i just go cold turkey, ive managed to quit for a few months here and there. Longest i went was 4 months, but my girl couldnt quit and she started smellin like cigs so i just started again so i wasnt kissin the perverbial ashtray.
Last couple attempts i have bombed miserably.
How did you quit? Or have you been able to?
Oh yah, and to everyone who doesent smoke, for christs sake, DONT start. Seriously. Each time i manage to quit for a month or so i start feeling awesome. More energy, better mood, i feel great. Then i go back to smoking and start feeling like crap again. Do yerself a favor and DONT START.
they got a smoking ban that will take effect in a month or two. I wanna quit before that cause i dont want to think the only reason i quit is cause some ****ing hippy lobbiest thinks they need to make my decisions for me.
im rambling......

ROFL, do yerself a favor and quit now. it will be much easier than quitting later. the longer you go the harder it gets, Besides, its gonna be banned everywhere sooner or later. Denver will be a very tence place on the 4th of july. the ban goes into effect on jul 1st. gonna be a lotta fights. lol
It becomes to embedded with yout daily routine and mannorisms that trying to quit feels like writing and entire 10 page term paper with no punctuation. it just seems wrong not to smoke, even if you want to quit.

don't smoke cigs but i know people that do and they say it's one of the hardest things to quit. I smoke weed but that ain't good for you either no matter what anybody says. My cough is horrible just from that. Good luck though, hope it works out for ya

It sucks trying to quit. I'm in the exact same situation. 29 now and started at 17. Smoked a pack a day for 12 years now. I tried the patch twice and cold turkey once. I'm going to try smoking cessation classes at work and if that doesn't work, here comes the hypnotist.

I haven't smoked in a while. I started last fall off and on. I never found myself addicted to them though. It was more or a social thing where I would smoke when I was with certain friends.

i was smokin for a few months...
i just decided i didnt want to do it anymore and quit...
If ya wanna quit then ya REALLY HAVE TO WANT TO...
If you want to then it shouldnt be a problem...
personally, I dont get addicted to tobacco/ nicotine...
I have been chewin tobaco since sophmor year... so thats 4 years... 2 summers ago it got old and i didnt buy it for the whole summer... then a new flavor came out, lol...
If ya want to quit then just do it... dont buy ciggerettes and dont smoke em... it all comes down to self control... if you cant control yourself and keep yourself from smoking, then ya shouldnt be allowed to drive a car...
best of luck to ya bud
ya'll do ok
