well, smokers that have tried quitting. ever think 'k, this is the day' and you toss your lighter and matches. then you start up smoking again and you gotta use a fuckin' toaster or stove element all day. its snowing and im not getting matches.

I haven't smoked for some time now: I always found the ease of quitting came in cycles. There were times when I stopped smoking and didn't get any withdrawal symptoms at all, and there were times when I got withdrawal symptoms about an hour after I "stopped".

the correct way to quit smoking (or any addiction) is to slowly wean (?) yourself off the habit over a period of weeks days and months, gradually cutting down on your intake until eventually you dont need to smoke at all ! Trying to quit cold turkey is just gonna end in tears and horrible failure ! FACT

naaa totally Quit ....take the pain then start up again....then QUIT full on take the pain......after 4 or 5 goes you learn to control the pain switch your mind from the thought its masacistic just like smoking another level of feel... its rather interesting ...id start again and quit just to experience the quiting feeling again i love it. but i've found another level now and that is the feel of health and cleanliness.
but i have damaged myself. ..thats what made me wanna quit....its sad that it takes serious injury for a smoker to realise that all these serious warnings are not just for everyone else. it creeps up on you .....and before you know it your fu=ked. Just like the pollution destroying planet earth.

its like.......giving up oxygen for 1 minute 30 secs......its a freaking bitch....but when you come back ....its an awesome rush.
smoking is like holding your breath. ...stops oxygen getting to your vitals.
sugar , TV , nicotene , caffine , alcholol , lack of exercise , fast food .give it all up ...perhaps all at the same time.,.it toughens your mind up., teaches you how to control discomfort.
its all in the mind it may seem like physical pain ...in a way it is of course, but it can be controlled by your receiver , this over powering sensation (the need) can be turned down in your mind. like a volume control. or even better a switch ...think of something else ....it goes away after a few moments if you focus hard on something else.. it helps raise your thresholds.
the most destructive i found was caffeine i slept for days without it.( well a long time , rarely could i be arsed to get up) but after a while i was free of the shit.( a few days 3 -4 ) all this helps level out your energies. freaking hell i sound like a hippy.. .
skin aaahp

smokers just look more and more stupid to me as i go longer and longer without smoking. it smells worse and worse to me. i see a smoker on the street and i begin to wish i had a fart in the chamber because i would so love to fart on them as i pass. sadly, i never have a fart in the chamber. as soon as one presents itself i fire it off, never thinking about saving it for a smoker. i am not a smoker but i am now, and will always be, a farter.

I have a valid argument for smoking in crowded bars:
It makes the smell of farts disappear in a fog of toasted tobacco. But that's just my opinion.
Here in Norway we've had non-smoking in public places for a couple of years. I guess it's alright, except that I smell other people's farts in bars.
I must admit I smoke. I'm not proud of it, nor am I ashamed. It's just my own fucking problem, and I have to deal with the consequences of it. That's OK with me.
(*sob* I've tried to quit, but I can't.)

it's true about stinky clubs, since the ban all you can smell is rotten sweat and farts by the end of the night

i told myself i'd stop (really stop, as opposed to the other half-hearted attempts) when I reach ten years of smoking. I have two years left. we'll see. but if i had to draw a line chart of cigarettes per day over the past 8 years it would certainly be on the decline. i smoked about four cigarettes today. that's not so bad really.

i used to light butts off the toaster even when i wasn't quitting. mostly at tragedy's house when we were dating and poor as hell.
now i just will habitually light 'em off of the stove (gotta attack from the side) if it's near by.

This week I've been smoking for the first time in three months. But don't worry, there's no need to keep that candle around or do the lean/tilt stove dives, for I got matches! To roll them up between my fingers is great fun and the physical act of smoking is always relaxing. It's just that as thing go, nicotine doesn't do much for me at all. When I've been chain-smoking and wanted to quit, I've had to finish the pack first. Like that orignal poster, I have a very weak will. Also, I have been known to use toasters, that 20 seconds can take a lifetime.

Quitting caffeine is the hardest, you get some bad headaches and dysfunctions. If you can survive it, it's really insane how good you feel. Try not to get back on it.
I miss smoking inside while making music. I always felt really comfortable doing that. Something awesome about it I have no clue what it is. If only they could make a smoke that doesn't screw with your health !
It's a stupid habit, but it's also when of the most comforting habits on earth. A cigarette when needed is the next best thing to being with a girl you love.
Quiting is hard to do if you like to drink. Also, when you are stressed it's good.
It's easy to quit, just staying quit for more then a year is hard because you will always want to have one. I smoke about 2 packs a year now.
It's such a social thing, it sucks standing outside when you don't smoke. I like smoking, it's great, I think it ain't so bad if you do it every now and then.

i wish i could go back to when i was young ...talk to me....and have a nice smoke with me........only kiddin ...i would grab my face and ram it down the toilet. do you understand???? only when you get cancer ay? tooo late you freak. why give up when your damaged? thats harder to do....give up when your young and have the ability to recover..its not actually hard to do if your mates dont smoke
shall we all just destroy labor and tories?? they are frkin killers of their own kind. cigarettes should now only be available from a doctor. not sold to kids at corner shops. end

i quit smoking when i started using snuff instead. then i quit the snuff and started smoking again. then i quit smoking and went back to snuff. then i stopped and started chewing a lot of gum instead. it worked. haven't smoked or used snuff in several months. you can learn something from my humble story.

i love tobacco, not so much the actual act of smoking. but obviously that still makes me a smoker.
people tell me to quit but i don't listen....... pretty much everything will kill you these days anyway ;)
