Nick Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I've been smoking cigs for like a year now. Maybe a little longer. I'm coming up on my 21st birthday within the next two weeks and am thinking of quitting. Anyone quit? I'm gonna try cold turkey but may try the e-cig route if I can't pull that off. Luckily I'm not too heavy a smoker. Less than half a pack a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeKnuckle Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Don't think about quitting. Do it or don't. Right now it'll be much easier for you to quit. If you wait, it just gets harder and harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffypandaknight Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 My brother quit smoking by just using that those electronic cigs. We always tease him that hes smoking his pen lol In my experience of watching my families stop smoking they seem to use e-cigs a lot, they are kinda expensive tho but its a worth investment to your health. They also go through chewing gum like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I've been smoking off and on for ten years now. I suggest quitting now and doing your best to never go back. I've been using patches this go around, and am going into my third week this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 See, I can go hours and hours on my days off of work without smoking. Like today I've only had three. Work days are another. I can go through half a pack a work day. I'm going to make my first attempt right after my 21st birthday. I'm gonna be drunk and know that will make me want to smoke. I need a sober day to start.

PeeKnuckle Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Say you're going to quit, Nick. Don't use sentences like "first attempt". It's self defeating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Got to agree. You really have to want to. I've quit twice, once for a couple of years, but I slipped and went back to it. It's something you have to just do and stick with. Each day can be a struggle, but it's putting your mind to it that makes it possible. Just don't want you to end up like me. I bet I've spent the past 2 years smoking during the day and then regretting and promising myself that day was the last. It's a vicious cycle. I don't know if I will succeed this go around, nothing is certain, but I plan to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedington86 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Say you're going to quit, Nick. Don't use sentences like "first attempt". It's self defeating.What he said. Don't give yourself the mental space of a way out. Don't think you'll try this this time, and that the next. Nothing will ever work that way.

MrsBadExample Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 E-cigs worked for me. My brother keeps trying to quit and fails every time. My father, who smoked for 40 years, went cold turkey and never smoked a single cigarette ever again. Worst I smoke now is hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green grenades Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Quit now, I've been using smokeless for 10 years now and I don't want to quit it's that bad. Only a year isn't much and should be fairly easy to beat. If all else fells go to the doctor, prescription pills work wonders, my parents used it and they quit first shot and said it wasn't hard at all with the pills.

Twiztid Rose Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yeah, I smoke. I want to quit, but not enough to actually do it yet. You have to want to quit more than you want to smoke. I agree with GG though, one time I tried to quit I used Chantix. That stuff is amazing. I will be using it again when I am finally ready to kick this awful habit. But everyone is right, don't go into it with an attitude of "TRY" have an attitude of "DO." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
