I have never smoked or had anyone close to me start or quit smoking but I do hope that you reach your goal of beating the nasty habit!

FYI - Age 52, 5+strokes, emphysema all related to smoking. Keep smoking and join me in a wheelchair or stop now and pray it ain't too late.
Well, all i can say is take it one day at a time.. Remember the urge only lasts 30sec.. Break away from your routine ( if you can ) and what i found worked for me was eating sunflower seeds whenever i got the urge. It used to keep my finger busy and the salt was rather gratifying. I am on my 6th year of non-smoking. I now do not picture myself as a smoker.. Hang in there and get the support from the people around you.
Good luck ! You can do it !!

Right now, I'm still smokin. And I figure a few died bodies around me tomorrow when I stop.
Mods, please don't take anything to personal for the next few weeks, when I tell you all to **** off and die, take it with a grain of salt.

Well i'm a smoker tried to give up a few times the gum is vile patches may bring you out in a rash but willpower is the best way i hope you can do it then you can tell me your secret.
I always have to recommend hypnosis. I would have never believe in it if it wasn't for my brother. He's been a smoker through thick and thin. He was diagnosed with Leukemia and advised that he had to quit smoking. Did he? No. That was 8 years ago. About a year ago, him and some buddies wanted to get hypnotized and found a good deal on a quit smoking session. They had absolutely no intention nor desire to quit when they went into this place. They were basically just screwing around. Not one of the four of them have smoked another cigarette since walking into that place. They say they don't even desire a cigarette. These are cigarette smoking, beer drinking, partying guys that just up and quit! Myself, I quit cold turkey. Every now and then when I get stressed out or ticked off, I'll smoke a cigarette and then go weeks without smoking another one. Thank goodness I haven't returned to the 1 pack + a day routine. Best of luck to you in your journey!
