hey for the past year i have been smoking on and off and just in these past three months i have been smoking 1-3 or morecigaretsa day. i stopped smoking for about a week and i started to feel sick and i had stomach pains and stuff and then i smoked a cigaret and felt a little better. dose it sound like i could be comingaddicted if i am not already?
Tell you what, next time a withdrawal syptom kicks in, try not to smoke but chew gum instead. Of try any of those methods to keep you occupied enough to forget smoking.
If you can quit for a week, you can get the nicotine out of your system and be done with it.CodingGenius
But then you still have routine to deal with. Habits are habits because they are habits. If you're in the habit of smoking, kicking the nicotine dependancy isn't enough. You then still have habit to deal with. It;s the same reason why some parents have such a hard time getting their kids to stop eating boogers. It's not that boogers are chemically addictive. It's just that if you eat boogers for long enough, it becomes a habit, and habits are hard to break.
All of you guys say easily "stop smoking" but like this guy has demostrated is not THAT EASY!!!, the last time i try to quit was for about 5 days off smoking and is was terrible, i was feeling sick every single time of the day.
sounds like withdrawrel to me, you should stop now before they get worse, you can always start again later when the symptems have gone away if you really want to

Yea you are starting to get addicted, im not gonna tell you to quit, because i smoke, and i dont see the point in quitting, yea its bad for your health, so what, i could die smoking, i could also get hit by a bus tomorrow, or fall down the stairs in an hour, everything is dangerous these days.

Its hard but not impossible.
I know that. But the other dude is acting like all you have to do is go a week without smoking and then that's that. I'm saying that it doesn't work like that.
QUIT. NOW. I've smoked for 18 or so years and it's the single worst decision I've ever made by far. I've tried to quit, and will try again. But there's a point where it becomes very hard to quit, so stop before you get there.
I used to smoke for a while ... never got addicted... I guess I was just experimenting... keep it to the minimal... and avoid addiction... quit if you think you need too...
