woohoo where do I sign?!
I'd say try and work yourself down to a do able limit. Like, if you smoked a pack a day, try to cut down to a couple. Then eventually work yourself down to only socially.
People can do it. It's difficult for many people who are trying to quit when they hang out with people who smoke; and when you're around people who smoke you want to smoke.
Also don't try to quit when a stressfull event is going to happen.

If you want to, you can do it.
that is true man, they say that if u want to quit u will but if u really want to carry on, then u will. ur hearts gotta b in it.
my incentive was my dad having an operation coz of it. i won't get into the details but he smoked and that scared the shit ouuta me, so i finally bit the bullet and actually did it.

Firstly, you should realise, giving up smoking is never going to be easy, it will always be extremely hard, so if you realise that it then you should be able to handle it more easily. Also, if your looking for an easier way out, remember that however you try and go about quitting, the only way you do it in the end is by stopping, so if you look at it like that, then there is not much point in cutting down, and it's best just to quit right now altogether, if you are really serious about quitting.
Whatever you do, don't give in to the temptation, everytime you say to yourself, 'oh i'll just have one more', remember that it is just '1' ciggarette that started you smoking in the first place, so you can stop the addiction altogether by not having that '1' ciggarette now. So you see that it it's alot more than just 1 ciggarette, it makes a big difference.
There are 2 ways to go, you can chose to smoke, or chose quit, it's that simple really, so if you wanna quit then really make an effort, otherwise you wont stop.
1 more thing, it will be harder if your concentrating on how hard it is. Always keep your ming occupied so that you dont get chance to think about having a ciggarette, if you don't think about having one, then you can't have one, thought comes first.
Another important think that will make a big difference is: if you aren't in an environment where you can smoke, that is, if you don't have access to ciggarettes, then you can't have one no matter how badly you want one, but i realise, this won't always be possible, so do the best you can.

suck on cinnimon sticks(its what i did to quit) it helps to have something like that or gum so u won't want to put a smoke in your mouth.

two things: firstly, nicotine is meant to be as addictive as herion. personally i doubt that, but thats meant to be a proven fact. (how they can measure it i don't know but whatever eh?)
secondly, chewing gum. This can be an absolute life saver. when i first was trying to give up i found myself, sitting at my desk and sub conciously i would be holding my pen/pencil as a fag and sometimes would put it up to my mouth before realising. weird i know.
when it started getting really bad, i thought of just gettin hold of something to stop it, and this seems to make a bit more sense than cinnamon sticks but whatever works i guess.
it don't have to be nicotine gum, in fact ignore it, its like cutting down coz ur still having the thing thats caught u in the first place.
go for normal chewing gum - a lot of people find it too strong but i love it and its really powerful a blast in your mouth and nose so hels with the congestion that kicks in after giving up as well - Airwaves chewing gum. this stuff is the f***ing nuts i'm telling ya. that stuff saved me

Whoever said about chewing and stuff helps is right. I quit once for a week using only nicotine gum, however I got pissed and decided one would be ok. Of course it wasn't and I went out and bought a box next day, and here I am now, still on them. I wish you all the best in giving them up, and congrats for the progress so far. It's not easy, but it's well possible.

It has now been a month since my last cigarette and i am felling very good for it. Food tastes better, my fitness level is increasing and I no longer smell of stinky smoke. Why did I not do this earlier?
Whispering: I started when I was 10, 13 years later I have given it up, it can be done.
If it moves, eat it. If not wait until it does moves and then eat it.
