I just quit 8 months ago and it was VERY VERY HARD! But like everyone said you have to want to quit. I quit cold turkey as well. Had my last pack last me one week so it was not as hard. Just had like two or so a day untill it was gone then DONE! Think about what you are doing to your lungs, that is what I thought about and the MONEY you spend every day, also that fact that you smell like shit and trust me ebven though you can;t smell it you do! I now smell people that smoke from like 10 feet away and thought, "holy shit I used to smell like that!!!" I honestly think the only reason I used to smoke was because I am the type of person that always has to be doing something and I just got bored sitting there, driving or what ever. I always felt like I needed to smoke just to be doing something. But then I really started to think how STUPID that was :dontknow:

I then said: "Lets see who is tougher the cigaretts or me?"

FUCK IT, I WON!!! Just quit dude, when you make it past the first 3 weeks you will be fine after that. Just think about that for starters: CAN YOU MAKE IT 3 weeks? Once you do, and you know you can, you will not go back, cuz what would be the point if you have already quit for 3 weeks?

QUIT QUIT QUIT QUIT :itsok:

pretty much everything i could say about it. Plus food tastes better. And now i sit and see people that smoke who have no consideration for others. People that will light up a ciggarette right when someone sits down to eat. That's just plain rude. Even when I smoked i was sure not to smoke when people are eating.
 
I smoked for 6 years, quit three times cold turkey, and the last time was the charm... I just all around feel better, breath better, and can actually take deep breaths without coughing
 
im smoking right now, i thought about quiting, but screw it, cant be any worse then some of the other chemicals we obsorb, for instance anti freeze, leaded fuel,oil, crabs, ect. ill quit one day.

This right here is one of those guys that is jeleaous of all the others that have quit!

Trust me you can sit there and make panzy ass excuses like he made or just QUIT. People who make escuses like this guy are NOT READY YET or are WEAK. His statment makes no sense, he knows, and so do you and I, that smoking is much worse than anything else we breath in the air.

THAT'S BULLSHIT!
If you quit NOW you will say "I haven't smoked for 5 days and I have $25 more in my pocket!
Just stop!
I've been smoke free for 2.9 years, and $10,000 richer (2 packs a day) The money you save should make you quit.
I still fight everyday with my urges but the urge disappears quickly......
Believe me when I say that if I can quit....anybody can.....
Side note...My friend had that Laser thing done to him in Canada and it made him quit.

Call these excuses if you want however I have plans for the weekend and don't want to ruin day 3/4 by smoking. I'm getting drunk as fuck and I know I'll smoke at the bar... Also we are going thru a Customer Service applicationmigration this week and the potential for serve stress is high. Next week nothing is planned until the weekend and then I'll be 5 days into my quit..

I know it was meant as a joke, but honestly thoughts like this will pop up in my head and I'll think yeah he's right. And honestly the intelligent side of me (hold your laughter guys, I can be intelligent if I want to be) knows it's time to quit.
 
Smoked from 17-25 quit for two and half years. Started 27 again until 30. Quit again for two years and four months. Currently not smoking and will NEVER AGAIN. Once you quit and go back it gets harder and harder to quit! First time I quit I was strong enough to puff on a cig. and not inhale just puff and blow. I'm am not that strong the second time. I know what happens when you start again. It's like you never stopped. Don't quit and start quit and start. Like everyone said when your READY Quit once and thats it. Good luck!!!

PS Helpful tip for the first week sleep alot!!!! when every you get the urge take a nap. Helped me

Yeah. I think I will be done with this shit after my party on te 21st. It's just not worth it and I really can't see it helping me in my weightlifting and training. :lol: Man am I going to be a miserable mother fucker when I quit.

No smoking (nic fits)
Not wanting to gain any fat thanks to quitting smoking (more cardio)
My already miserable flavorless diet will have to get even more strict and more miserable


Pros...
Save money
Breathe better (even though I breathe just fine right now)
Never smell like smoke...not even a little bit
Be able to smell and taste my food more
Live longer



We'll see.
