So I havnt had a cigarette in three days

[T3h H4t]

I decided to quit smoking a while ago and ive been building myself up to it. I found a really neat product that's really been helping http://smokingeverywhere.com/ its called an E-cigarette. its pretty much a beefed up vaporizer with nicotine, with different stages like the patch. its a pretty cool product, I figured I would share of anyone else has been thinking about giving up the habit.

Oh a bit of warning before you think about buying this, it isnt a cigarette, so dont assume it is. Its not the same, but its as close as you can get without smoking.

i quit almost 4 months ago using Chantix. Smoked for 20 years 1 1/2 packs a day. Best product out there for quiting as far as im concerned.


and Congrats on the 3 days ! Its hard but once you kick it think of the extra gun money you will have ,lol

I smoked for 43 years . smoked my last one September 24 2008 just before they loaded me in a helicopter to go for emergency heart surgery . I have used nothing to quit , the heart attack was motivation enough . I now get sick at my stomach when I get around a smoker so I am not tempted . Good luck !

Keep going. It's worth it. I smoked for 31 years, and quit almost 4 years ago. Got fatter, but feel a lot better. Got lots more money in my pockets now too. Good luck.

I wish you good luck on staying quit. It's the best thing you can do for yourself and those close to you.

I use to smoke 3-4 packs a day, Kools. After a few years, I felt the impact. I was the slowest runner in my pack, no pun intended. Also, when Wifey wanted to go to college, I couldn't say no while burning through almost $20/day. So I tried gimmicks, yes all gimmicks. Plastic cigs, cut-back programs, progressive filters, even the stupid PATCH under doctor's guidance. NOTHING!

Then it dawned on me, I just didn't want to quit. I had to want to quit, and if you will want to, you will quit. After 15 years, cold-turkey works. I have my last pack of smokes in my kitchen cabinet. So when I decide I don't want to quit anymore, I can pick up where I left off.

Cold turkey works, because I wanted to stop. Anything less, you are letting someone/something else replace, or tell you, you need to stop. Once the gimmicks' re-enforcement is gone, you will just start right back up.

P.S. Since Bidden said paying taxes is how you show your patriotism, and SCHIP was expanded using higher cigarette taxes, smoke up and show your love for America's Children!!! Should be a sin-tax on anti-smoking products now.

My Mom's been smoking for probably 30 years now. She quit for a year then started up again. I wish she'd stop.

Then again...my Grandpop smoked for 60 years then as soon as he stopped, he got real sick and died a few months later. =(

Quitting smoking is HARD. Congratulations on your efforts and good luck.

All I can say is no matter what. Don't "just have one for old times sake." You will start again faster than you can shake a stick.

"Quit" and stick with it. You can do it. And in a couple months, when you visit your smoker buddies house. You won't believe how it smells. When you meet friends for dinner that smoke, you won't believe how much they reek of cigarette smoke. And it will hit you. You smelled like that when you smoked.

It is worth it. Hang in there. You can do it.

I use to just carry a pencil stub in my shirt pocket. Just holding that in my hand like a cigarette helped mentally tremendously. I use to flick the ashes off of it, while drinking a beer.
