i guess the real trick is to keep busy.. smoking is something i do when i have nothing better to do or am feeling lazy
so yeah today rather than buy another packet of smokes i cycled to the beach, and by the time i got there i had no urge to smoke. but when i got to work that all changed :p poor discipline!

Tear apart some cigarettes, and take the tobacco, then mix it with a little water so the tobacco sticks together, then roll it up into a giant tobacco burrito, then eat it, by that time you should be so sick of cigarettes, the thought of tobacco will make you want to puke.

Labium: I don't think that would work with me actually.
Rocken: It would seem to be the best way,i don't really have that much to do i guess i could go out of my way to write a new track or something but that might do me in.

someone said that the best way to quit smoking is to smoke as much as you can as fast as you can. stop when you vomit black liquid. chances are that you'll never want to smoke again.

Skink, if you really want to quit, stick to that guide, and follow it. Otherwise you are just kidding yourself about wanting to quit.

but equal things out by reading of the beneifts of stopping smoking such as energy levels, flow of oxygen through the blood, better skin, less of a requirement to sleep as much etc

the most important element is your own resolve, understanding why you want to quit. i recommend writing down the reasons you want to quit. for example, you might feel that you don't want to die prematurely, and that you want to be able to walk up a few flights without getting out of breath, and you don't want to stink of smoke, and you don't want your mouth to taste like an ashtray. be as complete as possible, every last detail. make a physical record of everything that's motivating to give up smoking.
whenever you feel the urge to smoke, return to what you wrote and above all, hang in there! in three days most of the physical discomfort will be gone, then you've only got to deal with the psychological stress. it will help if you can unselfconsciously assert to yourself "i am successful, i am ending this habit, i don't smoke, i don't want to smoke." avoid using the forms "i will be successful, i will not smoke" etc. make the issue one of *now*, not of seven years smoking in the past, or future temptations.
it's also a very good idea to busy yourself with films, music, or even a nice long walk. you're not fit, but avoid caffeine, drink more water and exercise much more than usual, if you tire yourself out you'll diminish the possibility of insomnia.
