I quit about ten years ago (though I've cheated several times)and I think I'm in that mode right now. It started with having a couple puffs when drinkin to now i'm sneaking the occasional cancer stick or two at work. I really need to pump the brakes on this shit before it gets out of hand.
You should find a wife that absolutely hates smoking.
or maybe you need some sort of reinforcement system that allows you to a rare record or bottle of Cristal (courtesy of your wife) for every X amount of days/months you don't smoke.
that was a few years ago, still smoking but much less these days. down to just a couple a day.
I stopped smoking because it sucked so much.
I'm glad there are smoking bans and I wish smokers would stop littering their butts everywhere. I hardly ever did that shit and if I did, I felt bad.
I'm going strong right now, having stopped smoking, cold turkey, nearly 2 months ago. Fuck cigarettes!!!

Why is it that smokers, for the most part, seem to have no regard for the effect their habbit has, whether it be constantly dropping their butts on the ground, or the disgusting smoke that wafts into other people's noses?
Even over the 10 years I didnt smoke..I still constantly had dreams where I was puffin' away like it was normal. I always found that really interesting. I think if I quit smoking all together(weed and tobacco)this time, it might help. Last time I quit, it was on some turn your life around 180degrees kinda shit(I was only 18 or 19 years old then)...and while that didnt completely work out, the quitting cigs/cigars were the one thing I stuck to my guns with. Damn, I am disappointed with myself.
I can believe this. I smoked cigs from 12-19. I managed to give them up during a long weekend in Hamsterjam, when 4 of us smoked an oz a day between us every day. So I figured I was just a doobie brother, not a nicotine addict. But I then smoked just spliffs for the next 14 years and I'm pretty sure I was still well addicted to the tobacco. So I went cold turkey end of May and am still pining for a spliff at least a few times a week. Tequila and beer are a decent substitute but damn, I just hit 200lbs and I don't want to believe I will never roll an inside out fat one
This in one thing that made it easier to quit the cigs. Thinking about all the butts that end up in the gutter --> drain --> killing porpoises is foul ... no matter how fuckin artfully you flick that into the street like you are some cool twat. Yeah I see you, and I bet you pat your pack down as well. Wankers!
PS: and yeah, owning a bar means either me or some Latino is picking that out the street for you.
So: Littering,
chiming in here because I haven't accomplished much. But I often call quitting smoking the biggest accomplishment of my life. Even though I barely smoked a pack a day (I'd downplay it & tell people a pack every 2 days which was sometimes true and oftentimes not), that shit was still was a bitch.
But here's how you quit... buy a pack of cigarettes you don't even like. I had these busted Benson & Hedges which I think were marketed at 90 yr olds (they were left in my car and I thought I'd give em a try). Next, get some nasty bronchial infection and smoke the Benson & Hedges. Then sit at Denny's all depressed and ill with bronchitis or whooping cough smoking and wonder... Am I really this stupid? Why am I smoking RIGHT NOW. After this epiphany, promise yourself to not smoke for a few days. Then not for a few more. It gets a little easier every day. Then relapse 2 years later but only have it last for a couple months until the epiphany resurfaces. Then quit for good. It worked for me.
I haven't smoke a cigarette in nearly 10 years. I smoke pot oh....quarterlty...with the new roomate more than that...but still couldn't (and wouldn't want to) hang with you heavyweights who are the 'strut. Oh, but
I'm sitll an alcoholic and still I pity you smokers.
But my advice?
Fall head over heels in love to the point that smoking suddenly becomes so redundent in your life that you just suddenly don't feel like smoking anymore. No will power, no cravings, no thinking about doing it and procrastinating, it just happens.
That's how i gave up.
True story.
How do you fart in bed then?
I don't recommend this method.
I did use the flu method to kick chiva though. I just pretended the withdraws were symptoms from a real bad flu so I wouldn't think of the drug.
That's another thread titled: how did you kick hard drugs
