    Ive been smoking cigs for a year but im not physically addicted to them what so ever. The only times i wanna smoke is when im bored, cause its fun to light up and smoke a marb when your not really do anything. If im doing something somewhat entertaining, i will never have any urge to smoke a cig.

    Im the only one like this out of my group of nicotine fiends. Im the kid who whenever buys a pack, gives out atleast 5 to friends. I blow alot of money on em, but at this time i can afford it. So when i wanna quit for good, i will.

    I am trying to quit too.. again.. for the 10th time or so.. it's hard. Paches help the physical part.. like nicotine withdrawal.. but for the behavioral part.. you just gotta really want to quit and do it.. and that's hard, especially when you live around smokers or have habits like always have a cigarette with a drink or after eating.. like me.

    good luck.

    doesn't take the urge away for good. makes it easier to appreciate how disgusting smoking can be though, which can make it easier not to have a cigarette. but in the end, as long as you don't light a new cig, you're fine. look at lighting a cig as losing the game, you should have no problem.

    I quit smoking cigarettes using an amazing and very simple method. I suffered no nicotine withdrawals, in fact no bother at all! I just didn't feel like smoking from one moment to the next! The method is called EFT and there's someone out there who offers free (donate if you want) email consultations. Here is the website: http://www.info-santanyi.com/eftservice/eftforall.html

    I hope it works for you as good as it did for me, best of luck!

    i smoked cigs for about 4 years. and for the last year a little over a pack a day. i just quit cold turkey in november. its the only way to quit, the patches just keep your mind on it, and see how long you can go without it. just stop. i figured all you have to do is nothing. its the easiest thing you can do. im not even sure why i quit, i just didnt feel like getting up to get another pack, and i was like shit a couple of my friends quit, i could do it to. and that was it. first time i tried to quit, and havent touched tobacco since (cept hookah once a couple weeks ago, but cmon). good luck, try doin it with a friend that you think can do it better than you, and show em up. itll be soo good for you, everytime i see someone smoking i just think of how nice it is to not be addicted anymore, and not have to deal with it. watching people freeze outside, and come back in reeking of smoke, glad its outta my life, though it was fun for a while/

    It's gonna suck for a while - first you'll have the physical part to deal with, then he social/habitual part - so psyche yourself out for that, and then keep in mind all the advantages you'll get - no more smelly body & breath & hair & clothes... (ugh) no more yellow fingers, and extra (how many?) bucks a week in your pocket ...

    there is some comraderie w/ being the only folk outside on the freezing days, puffin a fag (smoker are the only people now who get *out* of the office during the day) & - shit, smoking does look cool, so be prepared to feel a little sad about losing things like that - but just keep in mind all the gain (like health - & longer life, & as a couple of people have said - smelling better)

    Just be prepared, don't be a wuss, & when you are 30 you will look back on the quitting time & thank yourself

    OH - another thought - this might be a time to take up a new hobby - the girl who said knitting wasn't far off. Crocheting is easier - you can make a hat your first day... Do you skateboard? start skating!

    You could do what my parents did when they found out they were pregnant with me. Just have someone drive you to a really remote camping spot and leave you there (with friends, booze, and bud, of course) for a week.

    Some people I've talked to who've quit said they got themselves out of it psychologically by finding some other small thing to do whenever they got a craving. As soon as you think, "I'm gonna go have a cigarette," before you even think about the fact that you're quitting and it sucks, do something else. Knit a hat, do a few cartwheels, jack off, carry around a nerf gun and shoot someone nearby with it. That last one would definitely distract you for a bit.

    the doing something else other then smoking thing seems like it would work good. alot of older people ive talked to say that its more of a habit of just reaching into their pocket and sliding a cig out rather then the smoking of it. my dad said he quit for a while when he was younger and he did it by chewing gum just so when he thought of a cig he had something to reach for.i can see how smoking for years would cause that type of a habit without even thinking about it. take like typing or riding a bike for example the more you do it the better you get without even thinking about doing it. i guess smoking cigs isnt exactly something you want to get "better" at perfecting LOL
