Hi guys, tonight at 10:30pm EST i am giving up the posion sticks for good. I could use all the support i can get, i've failed many times but now im determined. God damn tobacco companies can take their poison and shove it up their drug dealin asses.
Peace~

only messing, all the best, i kno the effects of smokin n i can say i'm very in control of it
i am in the same boat, trying to quit the death sticks. my advice is try to keep yourself busy. it's not easy and i wish you luck.
Thanks ive acually failed over half a dozen times lol and it sucks too cause i used to smoke more when stoned so i have to "take a break" from weed till i get at least a month or more quit, as it was an old trigger for me >< but im tired of payin my hard earned cash on their poison. Thanks for the support guys and girls i hope to hear from more of you.
good for you bro ..i hope it works out for ya'll .. ive quit when i was forced to [ jail ] but always wound up back on em when i got out ..id give my left nut to be able to quit ..Quote:

Well so far so good, its been 12 hours since i quit and only 1 craving so far im holding in there.
When I quit smoking I would smoke a bowl everytime I craved a cigarette. I was pretty fucked up for about 2 days. After 2 days I didnt crave cigs hardly at all, I just found that I needed something to occupy my hands.Quote:

Good luck!
I'm behind you. Don't give the cash to the Tobacco companies OR the GOVT, which is profitting from your pain.
Just think that you'll be saving 5 bucks for each pack that you don't buy. Put the cash in a cookie jar each day, and when you get a few hundred bucks, BLOW IT on a bag of KB.
Well i buy the stuff regardless :P But yeah i just bought a new pc on ebay a nice pentium 4 gaming system so im planning on putting the money i'd normally spend on cigs, into the cost of the machine with shipping and insurance ended up being $799.98
thats a small fraction on what you've probably already spent on smokes.
ive been on and off cigs since i started smoking and im proud to say that i havent had one damn poison stick all summer long but ive been craving it all summer especially after a bowl, no worries tho that craving is under control.
good luck man if your really willing to quit smoking you can do it
get somthing to chew on like gum or sunflower seeds it helps alot
Smoking knocks ten years off your life, that'll be the 10 years I would have spent in the nursing home drewling on myself. Time for another puff! :D
I watched my father die a slow and agonizing death from cancer at 51 years of age...he smoked his entire life.
Even when he was dying he was smoking. I would have to sit up all night and catch his cigarettes as they dropped to the floor. He would get angry if I would say anything. So I just sat up with him night after night picking up cigs and putting htem out. It was the hardest, saddest, event in my life. :( :(
I find it really hard to understand how my father put tobacco and paper ahead of me. I will never understand it. ....what a really a selfish thing to do....
You are doing the right thing...smoking hurts the entire family when cancer is the result.....
I wish you all the luck in the world....I hope you are successful.
When you empty the last couple of ash trays, put those butt's in a jar with a screw on lid, pour in some water, make it nice and gross, then just put it under the sink or something.
When the cravings get really bad go get that jar, and have a good look at it, imagine that crap going into your lungs, then open it up and take a whiff, shit its gross, but those cravings are gone in a flash, works like a charm.
Keeping a pen or something to chew on sometimes helps as well.
Good luck bro.
i quit cold turkey 14 weeks ago...i just decided i shouldn't smoke anymore.
it's not so bad now, i really don't miss them. although i still occasionally feel like having one.
That's great PH!
I saw Dr. Andrew Weil maybe one of the coolest physicians in the world say that there is only one thing more addicting than heroin or crack, and that is nicotine...
I have been trying to quit on and off for years but it is such an elusive, trickster monkey.
Good luck and it will inspire me knowing that there are others out there, like you, that are fighting the same battle I am...
Any suggestions from those of you who have succeeded?
i've smoked at least 10 cigarettes prolly morebefore haven't become addicted at all is that wierd. i don't know why i smoke them just when im bored and have no weed.
Well 22 hours and 20 min smoke free so far ive had 2-3 cravins today but its bput 48-72 hours when they get bad lol so i just gotta hold on for the next couple months. And by the way 187, it takes alot more then 10 cigs to get you hooked, and do you acually drag hard and inhale it like you do weed lol. When i first started it was sorta outa curiosity, and i got a buz and im like are ppl serious this isnt that cool i dont know why ppl smoke, well i kept at it and eventually the head buzz went away and i kept on smoking, eventually cravings started to appear, and before i know it i was smoking a half pack a day, always having that first cig soon as i wake up. This shit is no joke. Don't ever start be glad your a non smoker.
I'm a 20 year smoker at 2 packs a day....Good Luck!!!
ya ya dont do it my first toke on a fag i hated it ye i was like wtf y they smoke it taste like shite but then i smoked tabbacco with weed and when i didnt have weed i smoked fags now iv been smoking 2 years fuck 2 years loil and im trying to give up i went on holiday and dint smoke 4 2 weeks and it didnt giva fuck but i was on holiday so i dunno
i didnt giva fuck*
Bluecat, the reason is the longer you smoke the more addicted you become and the harder it is to quit, the thing with cigs is it alters your brain pathways so as you smoke more and more you need it more and more your your dad was a complete slave without any control to them. Nicotine is on par with heroin and crack if it became illegal the current addicts would steal, lie, chear, murder, rape etc to get the drug.
Just learn from it and never take a puff stay smoke free for life, do it for you dad and yourself man.
Oh man I say this all the time but 24hours with out a cig!That takes some balls man!I know if it was me, I'm like 3 hours later talking on the phone smoking a bowl and lighting up a cig. I love menthols, which is worse then the rest of them but damn i love the tatse and how it clears my clogged nose and throat, and i do inhale like weed my mom caught me doing this the other day,and was like DON"T do that you'll kill yourself quicker by inhaling it like its a joint...and i'm like :rolleyes: okay, so here lately i've been trying to take smaller inhales..its not working out 2 good.
Just do what Ezjim did and go to jail for awhile!
I commend you.
Just remember how strong of a person you are and that it can't control you.
Mind over matter.
quitting aint hard i quit all the time
most doctor offices and hospital will give u nicotine gum for free. even if ur under 18
34 hours without a cig. Im holding in so far.
hey man im from Brissy in Queensland. goodluck with that u will feel heaps better for it just make sure ur smoking pot these 1st few days
As a matter of fact right now im dry :(
Thanks I know it is hard Toker.....you are right the addiction must be terrible if people will put it before anything or anyone...Quote:

My sis stopped...she smokes weed and said it helped to calm her down while she was quitting. She has been off them 2 years now.
Are you using patches or pills or anything?
I hope you make it, with all my heart, I really do.
Keep us posted on your progress ok?
Hey you can email me if you are having a rough day and I'll send you gross cig pics :) [email protected]
I'll send you my phone number too if you want and you could call when it tough..like AA :) I really want you to be successful.... :)
i was always told not to be a quitter lol
plus i found its easier to give up giving up rather than just give up :D:D
sorry not the support u wanted eh?
ahhhh smokey.... :( well you picked an appropriate for yourself anyway.. :)
Great to see this thread. I am also planning to quit. Been smoking since 16, and am 35 now. I quit during both of my pregnancies, and unfortunately started up again. My mom quit on April 1, and hasn't had one since--although she's putting down the lollipops like no tomorrow!
I don't know when I am going to quit--I'll wait until the kids are back in school. 2 little ones screaming around ALL day EVERY day isn't very favorable for kicking the habit!
there for gimps
you shouldnt of been so stupid to start in the first place
