The Quit Smoking Thread.

I've been doing the patch for almost a week now. It's easy in the daytime, but...it's damned near impossible to drink without smoking. In fact, it IS impossible.

And I like to drink a lot. But I'm tryin'. Fuck health, I'm just tired of spending money on 2 packs a day. Woooooo!

I tried the whole "I'll only smoke when I drink" routine but then I just drank more. Then last fall I had a brain hemorrhage and my neurosurgeon was like "yeah you're dumb if you keep smoking" and I was like "ok dude" and I quit cold turkey in the hospital and never started up again. I still have one every couple of weeks though. They're just so damn good.

i've found it's much easier to avoid smoking when I STOP BUYING PACKS.
although cigs are relatively cheap here (marlboro lights < 4.25), the money really adds up.

also, i refuse to smoke in my car- which is where i used to do it the most.

i really been able to stop smoking as much as i used to, but i still smoke maybe 5 cigarettes a week- more if i'm drunk. which lately i have been.

the longest i managed to quit was for a year. then i stumbled back into it and have been doing it on and off. i'm hoping to quit again come september. chest pains while smoking is a scary sign.

Stay away from that Chantax stop smoking pill.
The side effects are not a good thing. Worse in some people than others

I quit smoking April 27th, cold turkey. This is my third attempt, the first was the patch, and the second was also cold turkey.

This time I did the "team" quitting. My girlfriend and I both quit at the same time. I think it helped to have someone call me a dumbfuck when I wanted to go get a pack of cigarettes.

A matter of note, this time around I wound up suffering from Shortness of Breath after quitting. Turns out quitting smoking can cause massive anxiety. So now I'm on Xanax. I also started drinking...

I don't know if I'm healthier now or not.

to quit smoking cigs, start smoking pot and then to stop smoking pot, drink more alcohol and then to quit that start doing coke?

I smoked for several years, then got tired of it and "weened" myself off. I first started by not smoking in the spot that I smoked the most, my car. Then I cut down at breaks and at home. It took some time but I eventually got down to 1 cig a day and gave it up that way. I'm smoking again due to the divorce and bankruptcy and other issues. But I'll quit again someday.

A guy I know quit when he had been smoking for over 40 years. He got this copper bracelet thing as a gift or something and didn't realize that it was making the cigs taste bad and quit that way.

I heard that pill is bad for you, I know a bunch of people that were on it and they started to have suicidal thoughts and got off it right away.

Find a comfortable way for you to quit and then just do it that way. It's hard as hell, but it can be done.
