If someone has a cigarette with their nightly pint, it doesn't mean that they're addicted to beer

And where exactly did i mentioned this? Or you trying to twist my words again

. I was talking about types of addiction and if you can`t live without having a bear or two you are probably an alcohol addict. Read before posting or attacking, empty words have less effect mister "positive" guy

it means that their brain has associated one pleasurable experience with another.

And if they brain demands those mixed pleasures, it means addiction to smoke and alcohol

(probably has some term wish i don`t know).

And then it goes away quickly.

I think a lot of it is re-training yourself to believe that. You've used cigarettes as an accessory, but you just have to remind your brain that that accessory is no longer there.

You can do it!

Absolute bull. If someone has a cigarette with their nightly pint, it doesn't mean that they're addicted to beer - it means that their brain has associated one pleasurable experience with another.

If you don't have anything positive to add, stay out of this thread.

Any tips? What helps to get over the worst? Anything to avoid that makes me want to have a cig?

HEEEEEEELP!!!

Had a triple bypass 2 years ago and basically it was from smoking for 38 years.

I'm glad I quit smoking I should have done it years ago.

I have a friend who gave up cold-turkey 3 years ago and still uses this
technique with great success.

Then it wasn't really 'cold turkey'.

My dad visited a cancer ward in 1976, and quit the next day. He hasn't smoked once in thirty-four years.

The cold shock of reality is often all it takes

Oh yes, everything turned out as... expected.

My parents smoked and that was enough to put me off even trying one, when I was younger I had really bad whooping cough and my parents offered to quit to the doctor, he said no - it'd have no effect! They have both since quit due to bad health but are reasonably ok now.

Well done to all here that have quit, and are trying to quit.

We need a foolproof method to stop teenagers even beginning, but short of a total ban or raising prices even more (in the UK anyway) I can't see a way? I'm against living in a 'nanny state', but am also against the tobacco industry

There is no such thing as a foolproof method to solve anything, let alone convince teenagers not to do something they find enjoyable.

Tell them it's good and healthy for them to smoke?
