      @SepticSef:

      have you tried nicotine patches?

      When I was 16. Fell off in the middle of class (High School). Headed straight to the corner store at lunch and bought a pack.

      In other news, I am fully back smoking. Shitty. Still determined to quit, just not sure when it will happen.

      damn sorry to hear that man!
      smoke that pack(if you havent already) and try again. and try those nicotine patches again but this put some extra gorilla tape over it so it doesnt fall off;)

        I've been "stopped" for over three years now, and I've gone from 20 - 40 cigs per day down to 5 cigs per year. I read the Alan Carr book (Easy Way To Stop Smoking) and found it really, really good.

        I just want to add, that I had my years allowance of cigs when drunk last Saturday night, but did not feel a single urge to pick one up the day after, I'm a none smoker who still genuinely enjoys smoking, but I can now take it or leave it. It took me quite a while to reach this point.

          Smokers Anonymous is for all of us smokers. Obviously there are a few. Maybe this thread will launch one or more of us to quit, maybe not. I know I am curious as to what you all smoke, how long, etc… If this is an awful idea, please just delete it (Doug or Beats).

                It's probably been talked about in the previous pages but anyone trying to quit should really consider trying Chantix.  It gets a bad rap sometimes as all drugs do, but when dosed right there is nothing on the market which has a higher quit rate.

                      i quit ten years ago when i was 30. smoked on and off for 18 years. chewed tobacco as well. and the only way i had success was being feckin sick of it. the smell, the taste the expense…all of it. you gotta want it. i quit the day we laid our bookkeeper "Marge" to rest. she smoked for the majority of her 74 years right up to the end. and it killed her. emphysema and cancer.  i just couldn't bring myself to smoke a cig that day.. and that was that.  i will add that hangovers virtually disappear when you quit smoking. thats a plus. and your clothes dont smell like shit. get on with it fellas.

                      i will admit though.... a couple times a year the wind blows just right (or wrong) and a cloud wafts into my face... and i enjoy it. but most times the smell makes me sick.

                          This right here.  You will not successfully quit smoking unless you 110% want it.  I mean actually want it, not just the "oh I know it's bad for me I should quit" attitude.  I don't care what methods or drugs you use to try and quit, it won't be successful unless you actually want it.

                          I smoked for 12 years, quit cold turkey one day 2 1/2 years ago.  I was in the gym one day and realised I couldn't catch my fucking breath for the life of me and said fuck this, I'm done.  Haven't had a single drag since.  Is it easy?  Hell no, in the beginning anyways..but it gets easier as time passes and now they disgust me and I can never imagine myself lighting up again.

                          It's a tough road but easily attainable.  Good luck to those trying to quit.

                              I've never even held a lit cigarette, much less smoked one.  And you say hangovers get worse when you smoke?  Good god, that sounds suicide inducing.

                                This is definitely not the case with me.  I still get hangovers like a mother fucker.

                                  What would you guys recommend for a vape setup? I've smoked for ten years now.

                                  Winston Gold were my old favorites, but I now smoke American Spirit Yellows since Winston has changed their tobacco.

                                  The amount of setups and options really is overwhelming.

                                  Anyone else only feel or felt like quitting WHILE you were smoking? When I need one the thoughts about quitting are all out the window. I've never felt that feeling until recently and find it strange.

                                        For sure man. I think almost every cigarette I ever had was accompanied by either guilt, anxiety and or thoughts of quitting

                                          Wow..

                                          It's taken ten years for me to even start feeling that. I smoke two in the morning then go 8-12 hours before having another. Normally have 7-10 cigarettes a day.

                                          I also use half a can or more a day of dip (not loose leaf). I don't know which would be harder to quit, but I imagine it would be smoking. Anxiety goes crazy if I even think about never smoking again.
