Quitting smoking (HONEST!!)

[Freiwillige]

Give yourself an absolute quit date at least two weeks out to mentally prepare. Reduce your smoking slowly in those two weeks and when you hit that date quit. Find hobbies to keep your mind occupied. Chew gum or carry a pen to chew on for the period after quiting. Mentally prepare yourself for the struggle in the first 48 hours, after that its mostly mental addiction. 7 days and your looking good. 30 days and your mostly in the clear. Never forgett the struggle you had to get clean. My past mistakes are always underestimating the power of nicotine and thinking that just one at a bar wont kill me, It triggers your brains addiction pathways and your hooked again quick!

Good luck you will need it! Oh and finally if you fail, dont give up get back at it!

I've quiet smoking since September 2007,

the first 2 weeks are thought, but here's what I did.

I smoked my last cigarette at night, I broke the rest of the package in tiny bits threw them away, and started the next day quiting.

the first days I just had a bottle of water, whenever I felt like smoking I just took the ''smoking break'' but instead of a cigarrete I just drank water.

(replacing the cigarette by candy or Nico-patches is just replacing the habbit not breaking it, also slowly quiting aint gonna help a bit 1 cig a day is already too much its the ''one more cant hurt can it'' thing.)

you will notice quikly that the Nicotine aint the bad guy, its the habbit
Wake-up cig, the after breakfast cig, after coffee cig etc etc.

whenever you crave for a cigarette just kept thinking of the negative things of smoking, it helped for me.
because if you REALLY care about yourself, you can QUIT smoking.

Get a tin....a big tin the size of a bucket.

Weld a lid onto the top.....you reckon your a welder, so that bit should be easy....even for you.

Now cut a slot in the middle of the lid....just big enough to take a Euro coin.

Every time you have a fag, put a Euro into the bucket.

Pretty soon that bucket will be full....send it to me.

In no time at all you'll be too skint to be able to buy a packet of fags.

On the positive side....I'll be quite wealthy and promise to spend 10% of yer cash on SNUS and send it to you as a goodwill gesture. :rotfl:

Why quit? You Wanna die healthy?

[Jimbuna]

Just think.....if you quit for even just a day, you would be able to buy a cable extension for that mic and then we'd be able to hear your squeaky voice on the TS server.

Smoking kills you slowly.

Eat some fish head soup cooked with cabbage, beets and birch bark when you get the urge, supposed to work. Birch bark is what does the trick though, the rest of the ingredients are added just to kill the taste of the tree bark. for real.

You know that supposed mic is a hallucination he had while he was drunk...

If that does not work you can make on hell of a nice canoe out of the birch bark. That will keep you busy and not thinking about smoking.

It does stop the craving to smoke. It is spitless. The spiced flavors are great. The package it comes in is about $1.00 less than cigarettes. I usually have one small packet (15 in a can) and it lasts about 2 hours. Normally in that two hours I have 4 cigarettes. So these really help.

Look here:

You have snus in the States? It's legal? How funny. Those Swedes and their effective marketing of their addictive products.

I have used baggy-snus but gave it up pretty quick. It does give a pretty effective nicotine 'buzz' though and is popular among athletes because it is supposedly healthier and easier to use than smoked tobacco.
