im currently thinking off quiting smoking, thing is, i rather enjoy it but i no that its very bad for me.
and tbh i dont think people find it apealing ect
when quitting did you come up with any new habbits, or any thing that would take away the need of a ciggy.

Drunkenfool recommended Allan Carrs Quit Smoking book to me. I bought it, but never read it, but I've lent it to two people since and they've both quit and reckon the book did it for them. God knows.

Thing is if you do quit you WILL notice how your breathing improves after just a few weeks! Obviously it gets better as time goes on, all I will say is if you are thinking of giving up smoking do it while you are still young, it'll be harder when you're much older and probably not much point then as your lungs may be FUBAR'd!

i quit 6 months ago, just stopped one day. i only managed for 3 months! started having the odd fag because i still enjoyed it and gradually smoked more and more.
moved on to roll ups now, it makes having a fag more effort so i smoke less, and theres less in it and i also roll the odd one really tight so not much comes off it. gonna quit again on sunday becuase i think ive kicked the addiction now

First time I read the book (well, half of it) I gave up straight away for over a year, but living in Spain where EVERYONE smokes, even in all the pubs and clubs, I had a cigarette when i was out one night and drunk, then one turned into the occasional one, before I knew it I started again. I read the whole book again about 4 months later and gave up again, its now been 7 months since I gave up and to be honest im finding it quite easy. I had a few tokes of a mate's fag one night when we were out in town cos he didnt want to go outside on his own and then he offered me a bit, but it was disgusting and its actually put me off smoking now

I quit before, was on a course of tablets from the docs and they were bloody excellent. Quit for 8 months then got a promotion to team leader on a new depot start up for the company and got stressed out my nut and ended back on them, that was 7 months ago. Going back up the docs tomorrow to sort myself out again.

Buy patches then stick them over your eyes, you wont be able to find your cigs then. Sorted

I've stopped smoking for 2 weeks now, and to be honest i haven't really thought about it. I just decided to stop. Simple as that.
The difference between you and i is, you're thinking you should stop, i really wanted to.
