i haven't smoked in 3 days and i WANT A FREAKIN CIGARETTE!!!!!!!!!!

Op, you should seriously visit a cancer ward of a hospital.

See what they go through in one day. You'll never want a cigarette again.

Congrats on your 3 days. I know it will soon be 30, then 300, then 3000 and so on.

Smoking is absolutely horrible, this I know but why fight it?

Why don't you just embrace it? Stop stressing about quitting and just enjoy a good cigarette

()__)_______))

here you go...enjoy it

Maybe a laugh will help.

No more addicting than before, but your body knows you cave in and its going to get so ugly you might consider it better to smoke. Do not the body win! The flesh is weak! The mind knows no limit!

Go to a health food store and look for herbal cigarettes. They don't taste quite the same, but they help curb the cravings.

I had a cigaretted today after not smoking for three months. Damn it tasted good!

I'm going to buy a carton - I know it - and smoke it in a few days. Shit this stuff is hard to get off of!

Try not eating for 24.

Learn some self-discipline.

when you do low carb for a year you become an expert on self discipline, but it's hard to have self discipline in every aspect of one's life. that is why they say when you drop one habit you pick up another so try to make it a healthier habit but i guess i miss all the 'outside' time i use to have. i know i can go now and not smoke but it's not the same. i would just go outside and stare up at the sky, or into my neighbors house with binoculars, while enjoying a cigarette. oh well..

ty all you silly, crazy, and i too cute ac's up there with your funny and inspirational, adorable, and not to mention misguided advice.

Last time I quit, whenever I had free time I would just watch a bunch of movies to take my mind off of it. O and get some cinnamon trident gum, it really helped me.

buy some of those 'smokeless cigs'. Wife got one recently and it's pretty good.

Good point. But don't trade sanity for what you love and enjoy, unless you are hurting another person.
There is a point where you can love and enjoy something too much depending on a person's nutritional intake, excerise, stress level etc. Everyone's different.
Be at peace with your decision.

I understand where you are coming from. I have quit many times.
Everytime I quit, I get stressed out over something and I go right back to it.
I can't help it.
I am like hyperactive.
If I can smoke I am okay

You need to get some herbs to relax. Kava, valerian, passion flower etc. will work. Maybe find something that combines these ingredients. Or take some magnesium. I find that most people who smoke are type A's and smoking helps relax them. Get something else to take its place until the craving is gone.

3 months now... nicotine free...

Read what I posted above. Get something else to help you relax. Certain herbs are great for that and will keep you from getting totally stressed out.

smoke non chemical cigs
they are cheaper and better then the other cigs

I know what you are going through

I quit for over a year and still wanted one.......
would look for my pack of smokes out of the blue then say what the hell its been a year

recently I started again
and im not so much of a bitch

quitting turns you into a crazy nut job

thats why kids should never start

you see a teen smoking beg them to quit.....

Yeah, cause you've always done everything you loved with a cigarette. Yes. I know.

Yeah.........all that gum loaded with aspartame. I'm sure your brain just loved that.

you are probably compensating because you REALLY want to smoke poles............

It gets better every day, first day thought about them every second, 2nd day every 3 seconds, 3rd day every min. 4ht day every 5 min 6th day every 10 min 2nd week only when talking on phone, getting in car, after eating. after a month dont miss them unless you think in your mind you do.
I smoke 2 pks a day sometimes more for 25 yrs, hated paying to kill myself.
hard first 2 weeks but boy I can walk up stairs now ,no coughing. Worth stopping

It's the FSC. Cigarette papers without FSC are noticeably less addictive. A lot of lifetime cigarette smokers are recently developing considerable health problems because of that carpet glue.

yeah, ditch the chemical gum. that is worse than cigs.

i've been smoking for over 20 yrs a pack day and plan on continuing, i did quite once for a whole year just to prove to myself that i can but i like it, it relaxes me, makes me think while i smoke and i really have no adverse effects since i can easily play all sorts of sports and dive underwater for extended periods.

Yep...just had one...and I quit every night. But I start up again in the morning with my coffee.

I tried to quit, I actually quit for about 2 years and then my job got really stressful (I know, it's an excuse) and started up again. I think the radiation from Fuku makes them more addicting.

first, stop useing the word "quit". You haven't quit you have stopped. People in AA never say they have "quit" only they have stopped drinking today and will try to stay stopped tomorrow. Secound, avoid the triggers that make you want to smoke. Get up from the table after meals and take a walk. dont drink alcohol and stay away from bars or places where people smoke. stay away from the triggers that make you want a cig. keep telling yourself " If i light one up now, I will have suffered for 3 days for nothing". Get help . If you are haveing trouble stopping get help. Contact your nearest hospital, Most have "no smoke" classes and other ways to help you. Most of all DON'T STOP TRYING!!! Remember, its just a plant. You are a human, surely you are stronger than a plant!

That is exactly how I quit twice (cold turkey) for as much as four (4) years. But, silly me - I thought a single smoke would help me sleep at night... and it did for the first week and then wouldn't you know it - I'm back to a pack a day!! What an asshole (me).

Tonight I just spent $200 bucks on a E-Cigarette Kit - Almost the same as having a cigarette - about (95%) there. I hope I can stick with it... I really do!

I have to say... so far - the e-cigarette is much better than any thing I've tried in the past (i.e. gum, patches, etc).

The "timing" of thinking about smoking is perhaps the best method to quit. Like the above poster wrote... in 6 months - weeks will pass without you thinking about a cigarette! I know that to be truth! "Monster" is totally correct. In a year... a few months will pass. Unfortunately for me (and many others) that is where most of us break down.... we take it for granted - tobacco is far more additive than most other toxins out there - it's just so easy to get and be around that most of us don't see that degree of addictive(ness). A single smoke will let your mind believe it can handle another and then tomorrow another - no problem - but, within a weeks time - your back to a pack a day habit!

I just hope to hell this e-cigarette will help me get back on track and some day doubles my 4 year non-smoking point to that which extends to the rest of of my life on this earth.
