Well i think am going to give up my smoking. As much as i do like it i have to give it up. Its getting harder and harder to find places to smoke my Winstons just went up use to be 4.00 a pack now 4.16 :evil: . Most of all it will most likely kill me. So do any of you guys out there that use to smoke have any advice that help you stop. I did stop for 8 months and like a A$$HOLE i started again. But when i did quit i quit cold turkey. The hardest part i think is going to be when i drink coffee and beer. Another thing am young and single and i notice that the girls i meet at bars etc. dont smoke and dont like smokers so thats another plus. So if anyone had so good ideas or something you did when you quit i would like to hear it THANKS.

Congrats on wanting to quit! I quit about 18 months ago and feel so much better. The best advice I can give is to get away from thing you did while you smoked...at least for the first few weeks. Think of it as a whole body experience for getting healthy. Drink a bottle of water instead of coffee. Walk as much as you can, but make it worth your time...speedwalk! Snack on carrots, celery, breadsticks, etc. to keep your hands busy. Boredom is your worst enemy. Sit as far away from the smoking area as you can...with your back to them...no temptations! After a few weeks, slowly get back into the coffee, breaks, etc. As a second time quitter (as I am), you will quickly remember how good it is to quit, how much worse you felt when you smoked, and how bad your clothes and breath actually smelled!!! BOL and hang in there...do it for somebody, even if that somebody is yourself!!!

First off, forget about this nonsensical BULL&HIT about how it is difficult to quit smoking; that is TOTAL BULL&HIT!! :twisted: :twisted:

Hell, back when I smoked, I quit hundreds of times!!

I just cold turkey. You'll get some serious headaches first couple days. Just tough it out.

Cut back to half a pack a day...then quit...after 3-4 days...you'll be fine. After a couple months...you'll see yourself craving...just stay tough. I had cravings from time to time even as much as a couple years after....but they are just momentary.

I use to love my Camel wides...or Pall Mall's. I still miss being able to smoke...but I won't go back. It's been 6 years now for me.

I smoked when I was younger and quit after about 5 years of smoking...but back then, it wasn't frowned on so badly. Most of the women smoked too. I quit for like 12 years...and started back up after allowing myself just a couple smokes.

You can just cold turkey. You are a Trucker. (tough guy)

Guy's that get arrested aren't allowed to smoke in Jail. Ask any of our CO's here. If those sissy's can quit cold turkey...anyone can. Haha...they get stuck in a holding cell...while they detox. We could do that to you too if you'd like?

Mackman, When I was ready to quit, I smoked about a pack a day. The day I decided to quit, I smoked about 2.5 packs. The next morning, I felt like a pile of :dung: . I threw everything dealing with smoking away...cigs, ashtrays, lighters (even my zippo went in the trash). Don't keep it around, it will just give you a "reason" to start again! BOL

everytime you feel like having a smoke either brush your teeth or have sex. If nothing else you will be happier and have white teeth.

You got a harem that you have someone available when you need to a smoke? Don't believe I want to know about your child support. (If I brushed my teeth that often, I wouldn't have any anymore. They'd be worn away.) I can see it now.....

"Come 'ere, Darlin', it's either you or a cigarette while I nail these shingles down on the roof"

Oh, the possibilities ending in jail for indecent exposure..... :roll:

Let's see... 20 in a pack, and a pack and a half a day.... Sex 30 times a day.... I could live with that... All you need is a woman that is independantly wealthy, and equipt with a bionic vagina.... :lol: :lol:
