I hope my son never gets on the planet. He'll realize pretty quick that I'm doing stocking stuffers wrong.

Then do the blow off the hookers ass.

Always wanted to do that.

People still smoke cigarettes?

Any advice for me?

Find an evape you like and do that until you feel like you don't need it...

I quit April 9th after 40 or so years of smoking. I've tried pretty much every stop quitting thing there is. Cold turkey worked for me this time. You definitely need to want to quit more than you want to smoke. My 15 year old told me if I didn't quit, she was going to start. That was enough motivation for me. A radio host named Dr. Dean Edell said it takes the average smoker somewhere around 10 tries before they actually quit. All you have to do is don't buy them and don't bum them. And your right, they do stink. I'll bet your car, cloths and breath reek right now.

Ha. She's pretty up to date on that. I don't think she's had sex yet, but she's very responsible. I've pretty much done all I can do at this point.

No resolutions for me, just try to survive another year.

I've been smoking for about a year. I smoke about a pack a day, maybe a little less. I've noticed that since I've started smoking, I get sick easier, I have a hell of a lot less cash laying around, not to mention I hate smelling like smoke, (all my shit smelling like smoke, etc).

I don't want to do the e-vape thing. But quitting cold turkey scares me a little.

Any advice for me? Words of encouragment? I'm all ears, and would appreciate some postive support.

Thanks,
Big Smoke

Have you asked for your user name to be changed? Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy kind of thing going on if you don't.

there is a massive quitting smoking thread I think started by frazod. I was a Respiratory Therapist for 10 years. Taught a lot of smoking cessation classes. Info and tips are in there.

If you want it bad enough, it will happen.

I quit smoking February 8 2013 & the best advice I can give is don't smoke your next one.

If you don't light up the next cig then your not smoking. By far not easy but it can be done if I did it.

You haven't quit yet. You're on a hiatus. I quit chew 100x. Sometimes for as long as 2 years and then failed again.

Here's the damn secret to the whole thing... This is difficult and I should be charging for this advice. Don't quit smoking. Smoke everything you can get your hands on. That is fine. It's a lot easier to just quit buying it. You can't consume what you can't by. Don't carry that disposable cash with you. Cut up the cards. If you can't quit smoking easily, then just;
quit.
buying.
it.

Well yeah I can appreciate this post Phobs. I first had to stop buying my last pack of smokes saying "this is my last pack" every day. I also couldn't stop coughing it was bad non stop kept me up at night. Enough was enough.

So much better now but I put on weight from icecream bingeing all summer long. I had more craving for icecream I had to stop that too.

Do you think people who think they might want to quit respond better to the cold harsh truth or pats on the back?
