has anyone here actually quit smoking???
i just went for a 5 minute jog and had a horrible asthma
attack, even tho i havn't had one in like 3 years.
I wanna try to be more healthy and go for runs every
morning and stuff (so far i've been doing well ie: i cut
down on drinking so much, do yoga all the time)... but i
always feel HORRIBLE after running, cause i cough up shit
and can't breathe for like 10 minutes.
so my question is: do you think it's easier to cut down, or
quit cold turkey?
(i know there was another thread about this not too long ago
but i couldn't find it.

I quit smoking, I smoked for almost 9 years a pack a day.
Its hard to do, but at the same time its not very hard to
quit. Even when I was smoking as much as I was.

started smoking in 1994
quited on 2002

I smoked 20 cigs a day

I quited cos I really wanted to, if you dont want to quit,
its impossible.

but think of this:

why going on with an addiction that is killing you?
why if its also very expensive?
why do you want to keep on being a slave of this great
tobacco industry?

do you really like the taste? NO

tragedy: ok.. but only briefly I have a lot of driving
around to do today.. lots of things to do.

nacmat: good points, those are all reasons I quit.

I just stopped one day..... I didnt slow down or cut down or
whatever.. just quit cold turkey and it worked.

gradually = impossible

every time you finish a cigarrete you are an ex-smoker, just
decide not to smoke again

I'm glad I was smart enough never to start smoking cigs.
Most of my friends do it and they're too stupid to realize
how pointless it is.

virginpusher> exactly! i find it impossible to drink and not
smoke. that will be the hardest part.
but i just had a cig about 10 minnuts ago, and i'm hoping it
will be my last one.

tragedy:..... the drinking and smoking thing is just in your
head, trust me.. I had the same problem, but then i realized
it wasnt a problem..... so whatever youll get over it

and just DONT smoke.... it can be a easy as that, just dont
give in to your cravings.. really I mean it, you have
control over your arm and your fingers to pick up and light
that smoke, if you do otherwise then you dont really want to
stop smoking.

The only thing i hate about smoking is that it's so fucking
expensive... i never exercise anyway so it's not really a
problem. Bring on that heart attack.

I can make you feel bad about smoking by calling you names,
if you like.

I've never smoked, but I figure it'll just take time... just
keep at it and I'm sure you'll start to feel great when you
jog...

I've been working out the last week or so, and it's great...
I enjoy it...

My mom's been trying to quit for years, and she's no wimp.
So I know it must be tough to ween yourself off the cancer
sticks. I'm glad I was/am such a goody two shoes and never
got into that silliness. Phew!

yah smoking isnt the smartest thing in the world to do..

tragedy: start smoking a bit of pot.... even for a bit, it
will get you having smoke in your lungs and all that,
smoking something... but not tobac!!

you wont though, so its ok, just DONT SMOKE.
