Cigarettes or cigaweed?

I have tried a few times with no success.the only real chance I had was when I got locked up in the county jail for 6 monthes(no smoking allowed,there).But I would'nt reccomend that method.

If Ur talking about cigarettes, then we share the same pain. God knows i've tried several times but I'm weak to addiction. I've been smoking for 5 years, and the longest run non-smoking since is 2 weeks! ):

What makes it harder for me is everyone I hang out with smokes. It sux but I'll always try to quit.

I never understand why people even START smoking. They know the facts, they know they're fucking cancer sticks. They also know before they start that they will become addicted. Do you wanna look cool? Are you bored? Or is it like a race to see how fast you can kill yourself? Now you're addicted... I hope you're happy with yourself.

Disgusting habit.

I know some people that tried to drink more water. When they wanted to smoke, they drank water instead. I don't know if it works, though.

Indeed. People know what may happen to them. I think it is more a curiosity they have. But it doesn't justify.

I started smoking at 16. At the time, I really didn't care about the facts. Everyone I thought to be cool was smoking, so I try to fit in.

I think it's very common (and normal) for ppl at a young age to make stupid decisions. Later on comes the regrets.

Jimbo,if you're going to try to quit smoking, make sure you're not doing it for your peers or people who want you to quit. YOU have to want to quit to be able to quit.


Andy.

cigs are anti depressants,that's why so many people smoke.when your a teen or a little kid you think it's cool but when your an adult and you have a shit load of stress you sometimes need shit like that.the only problem is once you get hooked you get irritable when your not smoking because your body thinks it needs it.people smoke for different reasons,it's not always to be cool..I'm just going by what many of my good friends that do smoke tell me.because I've never really smoked,I thought it was cool when I was little yeah.but like I said,there isn't just one reason people start smoking.

I can't give you much advice, Jimbo, but I wish you luck. It's good to see that you at least want to quit, and are giving it the effort.

I've never smoked a cigarette in my life. One thing I find strange is that statistically, if your parents smoke, you're more likely to smoke. For me, the fact that my parents smoke is the single biggest reason I don't smoke. My parents have tried to quit a few times, and always failed. My mom even had cancer about 10 years ago (breast and cervical cancer, which I think can be caused by smoking, though the link isn't as obvious as lung cancer; the cancer was detected early enough that it wouldn't have been life-threatening) and she still smokes. So I've seen first-hand not only what a disgusting habit it is, but also how hard it is to quit.

See a professional Hypnotist. It works.

I know of three people whom had a Hypnotist put them in a trance and tell them that if they had another cigarette that it would taste of the most vile thing they could ever imagine each time and get worse with each cigarette. It worked.

One person actually had to find the Hypnotist whom did this and have it reversed, as it was so bad and they wanted to be able to smoke again....the crazy fool.

There's a saying in my country that I think would do you well:

"Apreta la pija."

The rough translation is "tighten your dick", but what I'm really trying to tell you is to tough it out, pal.

In my opinion, smoking (and all other vices) is nothing more than a matter of willpower, so in other words, if you really don't WANT to quit, you won't.

I've been a so-so drinker (not casual, not an alcoholic) for the past 7+ years, and I remember that back in 2002, I couldn't drink on Saturdays because I had to work on Sundays. My point is that for nearly the entire second half of that year, I didn't have a single drink.

Did I miss it? Nope. Did I still have fun when I went out? Yep. It's only a matter of convincing YOURSELF that smoking's bad for you and that you don't need it. Once you accomplish that, your need to smoke will start going down until there is no need at all.

Thanks to all that actaully replied to the thread heading. 'Tis appreciated. I have heard of people going to a hypnotist before. My father actually went and had that done. He quit for 10 years roughly, then when my mother and him got divorced, he started up again. I don't really know my reasoning for starting smoking. I just know that it has gotten to the point where everything I do, I seem to need that damn cigarette. It's just really hard to kick the habit when I get into a car for example. EVERY time I am in a car, I smoke - so instantly my brain starts going crazy if I can't.

To sum it up though, I really do want to quit. My girlfriend also - of course - wants me to quit, so that makes me want to quit even more. I hate smelling like shit, ya know?

Maybe after this weekend, on Sunday night before I go to bed I will put a patch on so that way when I wake up, I won't want to start my day off with a Marlboro. I guess I'll see.
