I cut down and cut down and eventually stopped. Saying one day "Ok Stop!!!!" didn't ever really work for me.

I know it is not easy to quit for people who actually smoke (see dog_belch case for example)...
But I'd just recommend what Ezkerraldean said: don't start.

plus the fact you hate the people that already did, but somehow you forgot to tell us, actually, why you do ?
reasons, my dear child, are obvioulsy beyond the scope of your logis processes.
btw, i stopped smoking half a year ago.

Check out the banners man! They're useful sometimes.
K300i: I mostly hate my friends for that, just because they think to appear cooler towards girls and some other silly things. But also those people who smoke near me, they usually get on my nerves.
oyvinto: Nah, I've already heard that many times, it won't work with me. i can be much cooler without cigs.

cheww loads of gum.
It's not going to be easy at all. Your body is chemically aswell as phycologically dependant on ciggarettes. Nicotine has completely fucked up your blood sugar levels, so that you need nicotine ie. ciggarettes every time your blood sugar levels fall. It's also interfereing with your nervous system pathways, ie. its blocking you nurotransmitter receptors meaning your brain is being dictated by the nicotine itslef.
It'll take at least a month to completely get rid of the chemical hooks to nicotine in your body. In the first week you will definately have mood swings, it might be as bad as fevers and general flu-like symptoms (minus the blocked nose and sneezing). Don't get into the common probem (after quitting) which is to replace smoking with another addiction. Why do you think most smokers who quit end up fat, eating is an easy replacement to smoking.
Also do you really want yellow fingers for the rest of your life?
Quit now, get help and don't relapse. Seriously, in 20 years time the heightened risks of cancer will have receded back to a non-smoker's level. Most of this risk is gone by the 10th year of quitting.
Any way good luck.

ok thanks. but the reason ex-smokers get fat is because smoking supresses your appetite.

I've never even touched a cigarette. Like I can't recall even physically coming into contact with one.
My mom has quit smoking about 30 times, the nicotine gum seems to work for her, but she always relapses. But the gum is an option.

i don't mind the smell of smoke if i'm in a pub, club, bar, rave etc. (infact i come to expect there to be a fog of smoke when i go to these places, its all part of the experience) or if im with my friends who are smoking. But i can safely say i've never touched a ciggartte nor have i ever wanted one. If i end up being around people i dont like or i don't know and who are smoking, then i just move away. It's harder for smokers to move somwhere else than for non-smokers to do so.
It's all factor of will-power and self respect. If you've accepted smoking as being a bad thing but still enjoy it and are willing to take the consequences, then by all means carry on and don't take any shit from anyone about being a bad person for smoking. But if you don't like the smell of smoke, the taste of tar and the effects of smoking then you owe it to yoursef to give up.

tell yourself you can have one a day, and only one a day.. and smoke it before you go to bed at night.
that way the option is still there, you have something to look forward to during the day, it's not a complete mental withdrawal, and after you smoke it there's no time for the craving to return because you're unconscious.
after a few days maybe you'll lose interest.

I'm unable to get this habit. There were times when I would smoke 10 cigarettes a day for a week and after that I would just forget to buy a new pack.

r40facts about smoking
- smoking is cool. it looks cool; it is a great part of "teenage rebellion". it gives you something to do with your hands and helps you meet interesting people.
- i don't give a fuck if you quit or not. you did this to yourself. shut up and go away.
- smoking kills people. sometimes not fast enough.
- it's just not the same going to rock clubs and not being able to smell that overwhelming cigarette/pot smoke combination choking the life out of you. this is bad for atmosphere, but good for breathing.
- can i bum a smoke?
- yeah, gimme a quarter.
- thanks for nothing, pops.
- fuck off and get a job, punk!
- i don't care what anyone says, i like the smell of old cigarette smoke in a jacket. you come home saturated with that and it smells comforting.
- the best place to smoke without the teachers catching you is on the rail trail behind the teacher's parking lot. you walk into the woods towards that old guy's house who complains about kids smoking in front of his house. the janitors rarely go out there.
- smoking is glamorous and romantic, but it is also disgusting and makes me sick and at least put it in the ashtray before you fall asleep i don't want the sheets to catch fire.
- germs burn. fact.
- "come out with me while i have a cig." "sure, man." "cool."
- you shouldn't smoke cigarettes.

- sometimes smoking helps you sing better, sometimes worse. it depends.
- zippo lighters are still cool, imo. but they are not lucky.
- cloves are weird.
- i don't smoke.
thanks for reading r40facts, my new column on ziltyzine.

What I don't get is how smokers put up with the incredibly bad breath.
On the other hand I love the voice of Kristin Hersh, and she sounds like she's been smoking since conception.

anecdote: i smoke and i like and when dont like dont smoke,like with the food..uh?
addiction comes by other way.
smokes helps to control the breathe. can be stimulating or relaxing...like chocolate and lettuce.
nature is big and we can eat it and smoke it. -i like what imdex says,huhu! its reality that many people smokes cause some celebs smoke,cancer will catch you if you smoke without a will-

Yeah that's right. But my advise is, if you can avoid to start.. it's better. And come on, it's not that hard. Lots, I say lots of people asked me to try it out, but my answer has always been "no, thanks".
