    Luckey I never started. All tobacco I touch is in joints and I never got addicted from that. Well good of you that you stopped and good luck keeping it up.
    If you really want it its easy though, I think. Beacuse I don't wanna start, I just dont :p

    always nice to see a fellow vegan kicking the habit, and its good to see so many people supporting her with kind words..

    unfortunatley, i dont feel like i can even try right now. i now wonder if ill ever be able to... i mean, its been this long and i havent quit em, so maybe there really is no hope??? addiction is like something deeeply engraved and carved into my brain, and that shit is pretty rough ive learned from really putting effort into to quitting. feels like i missed the train when it came a calling for me to ride and i had some free time to tackle my addiction. but i didnt have faith,so now im busy with work and school all the time, and i KNOW its nobodys fault at all but mine for not letting go of it when i had the chance. you only get one chance to live, and holding onto bullshit like ciggerates is gonna do nothin but keep you down, and you may only have one chance to let go of these things yknow??? so hear i am, diggin in deeper into the same ole thing once more... i dont even mind messing up my own health... i just hate botherin those around me with it, especially my family. cuz i know everry godamn one of them knows about it, but not ONE of them will say a single thing about it and it makes things so awkward and kfajkasfj sometimes. its truly depressing, and it gets to really eating at me when i have to hide myself from them all. i feel like i cant grow out of it or into anything until i can at least share more with my family, if that makes any sense. but, what will be will be i guess...

    Everytime I was in the mood for a cig I drank a glass of water, helped for me =)).
    Also decide on it quick. take your last pack throw it on the ground and smack it with your foot. Dont delay or think about it. just face it 1on1 =pp.

    I just quit, too....again. Around December, 2004, I managed to quit, due to frustration with myself and being on a big self improvement kick. Over the years (13 total), I had tried the patch and the pills. This time I decided to try Smoke Away. Believe it or not, it worked. Quit the day I started the program, and lasted over 8 mos., until one of my best friends moved back into town...we started hanging out, and during one of our nights of drunken debauchery, I lit up again (arrrgh)...Some friend, huh? After me telling them that I quit, they let me smoke one. And, no I'm not absolving personal responsibility for my actions, just disappointed that I didn't get more support. Anyhoo, that was in August or so of this year. I didn't get back up to a pack a day 'til about two months ago, and I still mangaed to keep my habit away from work (because I'd made such a huge deal about it to my co-workers, I was sooo ashamed that I had started back). To bring this whole thing current, I got the Smoke Away again, and this is day seven, and I have NO cravings whatsoever, and I am in a non-smoking living arrangement, so I think I got it beat for good this time!...As a side note, I actually made a dating decistion based upon this. I was at a bar the other night, and this hot MILF was hitting on me, and actually gave me her number before I left; however, I don't think I'll be calling, because she's a smoker, and I don't know the person that's worth me taking years off my life for some deadly habit, ya know? Good luck to ALL who make the decision to quit. It's worth it and you'll feel SO much better about yourself for conquering the habit. Trust me, horrible breath (non-smokers can smell you a mile away), yellow teeth and paying some rich asshole for peddling death to you $3-4 a pop...when you really think about it, it's insane to smoke. Oh, yeah, and that whole dying a horrible, painful, oxygen-starved death? Come up with you own list of reasons, set a date, get some support, and try the Smoke Away. It worked for me.
