1 more day CC, nicotien (and phsycial withdrawl) only lasts 3 days (72 hours) after that, it's all mental/emotional.. it's not an easy road, take it from me.. i know what it is to quit cigs (i've had 2 attempts last a month or more) i still found myself even weeks afterwards, grabbing my pack of cigarettes and lighting something.. and it was all in my head... i'd literally make the motion and then after doing it all, would i realize "i quit a while back, wtf" ... basicly, in short terms i'd grab my pack of cigs and light one, and realize after i didn't get any smoke, that there was nothing in my hands... hope that makes sense, i am kinda drunk... lol.... my grandma still says sometimes she gets strong cravings for cigs... it's been atleast 5 years now... my personal belief on the subject is you never actually quit getting cravings for them... so anyone who quits (or starts for that matter should they ever quit) is you better be ready to turn it down and run from it for the rest of you life...Quote:

edit: i just realized something... cigarettes are the legal crack... any addicted cigarette smoking person, would do alot of things that someone who isn't addicted would... may not go to the severe lengths some would for crack.. but still.. that level of addiction is there.
Your assessment is wrong... Sopping smoking was with out Doubt "The Hardest Fucking Thing I ever Did In My Entire Fucking Life" and I'll Say this again...Quote:

Why is there such a wide spectrum of addiction??? 10 cigs a day to 4½ packs a day like I was??? were does the spectrum stop??? we are all chemically different and chemicals effect us in different ways...
skink, dude, i think you misread my post... i'm not sure what, but i'm sure you did, cuz i'm on your side, i've tried to quit over 20 times so far, and still failed everytime (seems liek your post is saying quitting smoking is the hardest thing ever, which of all my epxeriences, it has been) all i was really getting at, in the post is that some people have greater will power then others, my grandma included... and it's true, she does have ALOT of will power.... she's one of those people, that as soon as her mind is made, IT WILL HAPPEN, doesn't matter what it is... her will power is so strong, that if she decided she wanted to be president, i garuntee within a few years, you'd see her signing bills in the white house.... not sure who you say 'my assesment' is wrong, but please, for my own conscience, tell me what you meant so i have the chance to explain myself further.. there are quite a few people i don't want to 'dissapoint' so to speak, on this board, and you're one of the few....Quote:

"People who smoke cigarettes say "Man, you don't know how hard it is to quit smoking" Yes I do, it's as hard as it is to start flossing. "You seem jittery" Yeah, I'm about to floss"
-Mitch Hedberg
Honestly, I just think cigarette smoking is a bad habit because of how much money it costs to keep the habit.
My two cents.
OK having No problems with quitting does not constitute addiction in my eyes,,,there had to be some problem some where if it was addiction...Quote:
