About 3 months ago I had a lung cancer scare, turned out to be a false diagnosis, but when you spend three whole days thinking that your time is up... I still get a very occasional urge for nicotine, but I just can't put another cigarette in my mouth.

tagTaken2, I feel the same too, when you get a big enough scare theres no problem in stopping...  I smoked for 20 odd years, but one day my right foot felt really cold, although it was a swelltering hot summers day...  I knew then what was causing it and threw my fags straight in the nearest bin. That was 5 years ago now and have just had a bypass to save my lower right leg and foot. I still have serious problems ahead due to smoking - Giving up was easy, what would you have choose, smoking or losing your leg...  Shame I had'nt had the scence to not start in the first place... Archie  Now if, in the folding, I ESP the tesseract a half twist around myself and- |

Same here. My schoolfriends used to offer me, but I couldn`t see the point and my later m8s all smoked. I took up pipe smoking for a month until my then new girlfriend made me decide to give up. Did lots of passive smoking though, unknowingly.  "DVNO, 4 Capital Letters, written in Gold..." ? |

Every time you want a smoke, attach two tether balls to your forehead with a hilti gun and spin them in opposite directions. This will not only discourage you from smoking, it will give you a first hand look at how tether balls relate to momentum and the pull of gravity.

The bremspropeller plan looks like a good idea.  I was a smoker for about ten years and just quit one day. Got tired of it. I sarted running alot. My friends thought I lost my mind. But I fealt alot better, my life changed after I quit smoking. Now, I'm gonna go back to bremspropeller's post for another look. |

but when tobacco companies add ammonium to cigarretes to make them more addictive its very difficult
im even consideing switch to rolling tobacco and wash the amonium out and let it dry
anyway im on my way i reduced from 25 fags a day to 12
That alone is a huge deal so be proud  Giving up is possibly the most difficult thing I’ve ever done, I had given up on previous occasions for varying periods from days to a year but eventually gave up ‘proper’ almost 2 years ago now and can honestly say I don’t miss it at all. You will do it, it can just take time to get there completely

A few years ago I was very ill with the flu, so sick I didn't leave my bed for 2 days (except to the bathroom lol). When I was heading off to work after feeling better, I spotted my cigarettes on the seat of the truck. I realized that I didn't really want one, but just to be safe, I kept them in my coat pocket. I carried them with me for a few months, never actually smoking them, but I would still get the "Oh crap where are my smokes??" feeling if I didn't have them. I ended up quitting for a year, unfortunately I've fallen back into the habit. I blame my own lack of control, but I did try to do the things normally associated with smoking, like drinking at the bar etc. If you can find a way not to do those things you may have better success. Good luck m8.
