i smoked cigs for a month and a half and got quite the addiction cuz i lvoed the buzz but i hated the addiction, i stopped cold turkey and as odd as it sounds...every time i got a craving i slapped myself in the face as hard as my hand could hit and after a while i was just like FUCK THIS and i never smoked again, dont even have much of a craving anymore, even if my friends smoke around me

I smoked for longer than you and quit cold turkey. For the first three days - its a bitch! After that, for me atleast, it was'nt a big deal. However, I substituted ciggarettes with herb; smoked alot of weed that week .

Koshea and Kyle have a lot more willpower than me. I just recently tried quitting again, I went about 3 weeks and then I finally caved in to my cravings. Its really hard for me, and its been the third time I've tried quitting cold turkey. I've also tried the patches but they dont work, so dont waste your money on those nicotine replacement products. Its also hard for me because I get really strong cravings for cigs after smoking herb. Good luck!

Yeah I call it "The CRAVE" happens like between the 4th-8th day. I almost go crazy out of anger lol.

Quitting cigarettes is really only physically addicting for 3 days... the rest is psychological... just get through that 3 day hump and you are set.

I've tried quitting cigarettes off and on, but I see it like this.. Everytime you try and you fail at quitting, that's just a test. Don't give up, keep trying. It was really hard for me, I quit for a while with my boyfriend, but then I started back. I'm going to try and quit later on, but once I quit this time, I'm never touching another cigarette!@ ;]

I quit for 6 months last year & then started again!!! Augghhhhhhh I could kick myself in the ass 100 times for that!!! It really is a BIG MENTAL THING... just make up your mind and DO IT. When you have a craving, do something else... anything.. & just remind yourself that "this too shall pass"!!!! One thing I will say is after I'd quit for a few days even ... if I gave in to the temptation... it really tasted like shit. :-P

Quit,
Quit now while you can and never look back!!!!!!

Been smoking for 8 years and wish I never touched the damn thing. You might want to stay away from friends that smoke for like a little while until the craving stops. If it ever truly stops.
