Quitting Smoking?

Cold turkey is the way to go. I quit several years ago by just stopping all together. Last year was really bad for me and I started up again.... I need to quit again too. Like NJ said, have some gum or something ready to use. All the money that I give to Marlboro will be going to Wrigleys soon.

The first week of quitting smoking is like quitting going to the bathroom, it only gets harder as time goes on. After about a week it gets a bit easier. When I was younger I used to quit smoking for a few days at a time just so I could get a head rush after my first smoke. Oh, and Sears, the next step after smiking ultra lights is smoking pole. Think about it.

I've tried the gum, didn't like it. Actually smoked more because of the rush.

Cold turkey would've worked if I just stopped drinking, going out to bars all together, or seeing any of my friends for two at least months.

Might try the hypnosis just for shits and giggles. If a hypnotist can get me to quit for good, then i've got a laundry list of other things for them to fix. :tongue2:

My dad quit about 10 years ago, and started back up again, but now has cut back again anyway two things that he did.

First smoke all you want for say a week or so. But the rule is you have to ash and put every butt in the same big clear jar. After looking at that you relize how gross it is.

Then after He did that everything he wanted to buy a pack of cigs, he put the money in a different jar, you do that for again a week or so, and relize how much money is actually in that jar

Where are these hypnotists at? How do I contact them? I'm sure you don't look in the yellow pages under hypnotists.

Acupuncture? How in the world is that supposed to work? and where do you go to get that?

My father in law is a hypnotherapist. If you would like I can get you touch with him. He lives here in Hilliard and works out of his own home.

I don't understand why anyone would start smoking knowing about the dangers of doing it. I feel sorry every time a see a young person doing it. To me smoking is a waste of money that will kill you.

I've always wondered the same thing. What causes someone to say, "You know what, I want to inhale on that thing that reaks, will give me cancer, and make me smell all while costing me an arm and a leg to purchase!"

I don't get it.

i quit smoking. i made a bet w/a friend. the loser of the bet had to pay $50 and take a six foot bong hit of tobacco...i wasn't about to lose that bet! so about a week or two into the bet i caught the guy smoking and i figured it had come so far, i might as well just quit. so now i only smoke when i drink (which used to be alot obviuosly) but i have zero desire to smoke if i'm sober. which is good, b/c cancer runs in my family. my dad's dad died of lung cancer, my aunt had lung cancer and my dad had prostate cancer. in about 20 years i'll probably have every cancer in the book...

Here's how it starts for 95% of people who smoke(that I know). They started with one or two whenever they got drunk or stoned. Then they would be sure to always bum one off of someone, still certain they would never get hooked. Then they would pick up a pack for the occasion, and there would be a few left over the next day. Remembering how much they liked them, they'd smoke the rest of the pack and Voila! we have an addict.

Crump,

You brought up another point that I always get peeved at.

Keep in mind I'm a non-smoker, never even tried one in my entire life, but I hate people who always bum cigarettes from people.

I golf with a guy who is always bumming cigarettes and never, ever, has any of his own. Cigarettes are expensive and I hate people who leach like that!!:mad1:

I've seen a 6 footer of Marlboro Red(for those of you who don't smoke, this is probably the harshest of all cigarettes) smoked once. This jackass who always used to hang around and contribute nothing to the circle went to the bathroom on his turn. Unknowingly, the Marlboro was freshly packed in his honor. He coughed until his face was beet red and he also began to cry-a lot. That is a bet I would not want to lose.
