Are you a smoker?

I understand, this is a good post, and anyone who is trying to stop, i support. Keep up the good thoughts and right action.

Thanks, that was fantastic advice, really appreciate your input... It also sounds acheivable. I keep telling everyone I'm giving up, when I think that really, the only person I need to be telling, is myself. Because I'm the only one that it doesnt seem to be getting through to.

Thanks fpr your support and kind words...

wow man thats like supercool

thats really good, congragulations, how did you stop? do you have any advice?

Good on you for stopping at all, I couldnt even stop when I was pregnant withj my son...

Thanks so much for wishing me luck, I am trying, I just dont seem to be getting anywhere... Maybe if I spend more time on here, thats less time I can be smoking, true?

Thats what I find the hardest too, being around all my friends, and my partner, cause they all smoke...

Canada. How beautiful! I'd love to go there one day! I dont smoke in my house either and it does help you to cut down... Any other tips like that?

5.50 a pack? wow thats so cheap!!! i pay 15.00 packet but i cut down to cheaper nasty smokes because i couldnt afford the ones i used to smoke. how much is that in us dollars? like 25 bucks or something???

no way.. drinking water can clean your throat and reduce chances of lungs infection and its better for your skin.. m smoking from last 13 yrs and touchwood m perfect.. i drink 250 ml per cig.. this formula helped me a lot..

thanks very much for the advice, i know i should drink water but i really dont drink a great deal of it. do you have any other advice such as this?

drink more water? where abouts did you hear that? i dont know how that would help, but im willing to give anything a try... i suppose more water couldnt hurt me...

Only for 3 years, I worked in a bar so it was hard to quit. I haven't smoked in 4 years now. But my husband can smoke and walk away. He doesn't get addicted. I hate that.

Thanks for the advice. How long did you smoke for? And how long has it been since you quit?

Thats so frustrating. My partner on the other hand is a chain smoker, which doesnt help my cause all that much...

I wish that I did. All I can tell you is that I quit cold turkey and that I did not use any substitutes. I did it because of my child and the new one that was on the way. It is hard to find the right motivation, but once you do I am sure there will be no stopping you! Good Luck!

Thats really good, congragulations on such a fantastic acheivement... I dont suppose you have any advice for someone who is trying to quit???

Well the one thing I know that makes a huge difference is you have to WANT to quit. I know it sounds kinda stupid but it is true. I found that with my experiences in trying to quit that if someone pressured me or I felt like I didn't want to quit it got in the way with my goal. I also would suggest for some people to try Zyban. It doesn't work for everyone and it is expensive though as most insurances won't cover it. But it is suppose to help with the cravings. Also when you start to quit and you feel like you have a craving to smoke put your mind on something else or do something else to occupy you and you may find that you will look back and realize that you got over the craving. You honestly have to take it minute by minute. And the hour by hour and so on... And thanks for the congrats by the way!!

Thank you so much for your advice and tips, they are really helpful. I'll let you know how I go in quitting.

Thats fantastic! Congragulations on your acheivement! Have you got any pinters you can share with those of us who want to quit?

Thanks very much, it does help doesnt it. Its just another addiction though in the end LOL

yes..but if u cant stop it..just eat candies or gums..i too soda every time i feel like smoking..just inform me in case u stop it completely..thanks

Thanks for the tips. Keep me posted about how you go quitting!

Destroy Nicotine Desire: Take before breakfast, a half teaspoon of rochelle salts and cream of tartar.

Ewww, nah...lol

If I knew how I would quit myself...

Hey Princess, sounds like your having a bad run? I hope all works out good for you, and i hope mylot pays off for you too. Take it easy on the ciggies though, not a good option. Breathing exercises are excellent. Especially to calm the nerves, meditation or yoga?

No.I am not a smoker.& I would like to tell everybody SMOKING IS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH.

Life is so stressful... sigh...

I feel exactly the same way... How did you quit the first time???

It is dangerous, no matter what your age. How did you quit, any tips you can share?

thats good, keep it that way...

Thats good, i wish I hadnt have tried it in the first place, I was just trying to be cool and fit in with my friends because they all smoked. I was only 12 when I started now I've been smoking for almost 10 YEARS!!!

Thats fantastic, I hope you stick to your resolve. Its a disgusting habit, one that I am trying hard (but obviously not hard enough) to kick...

Thanks for the tip. How long have you been smoking for?
