Quitting smoking today...

I've been a 1 pack per day smoker for about 5 years now, I started when I joined the Marines. Lately my health has been so crappy I decided to stop.

So far,its been14 hours without a smoke. I've gone through 1 nicotine patch, 3 Monsters and half a bag of sunflower seeds.

Man this sucks.

Any advice?

the patch is the best option so far, you should try herbal cigarette which taste like crap and contain no nicotine ( at least thats a good thing)

You may not succeed on the first try, but what's to stop you from trying again.

It will be a matter of time before the addiction overwhelms your will power. Good luck :Dcrimsoni

Man your killin' me! hahaha

I can't imagine being dependent on something so much that i would feel the need to get in my car, pay money for petrol then pay money for cigarettes just for a smoke. I just can't imagine it not being easy to stop doing something like that easilymmogoon

Well it is dude. Nicotine is way more addictive than any other drugs and alcohol.

find a hobby... maybe some VIDEOGAMES.

just don't think about buying them when you see them.

Find a replacement addiction. Sunflower seeds seem to be working for you. Maybe something like chocolate? I know a few people who went from smokers to chocoholics.

Good luck man...I treid once...but it didn't work out...

*looks at your sig*

Ha..Gotta love Dead Alive...

LOL dude

An ex-marine/ hip-hop artist with a 6-month pregnant wife and nicotine addiction struggling to release his album and make it big on the rap scene.

Kinda reminds me of 8 Mile.

What makes it even more hilarious is I'm still in the Marines, AND possibly heading back to Iraq. PicturePapa Docrockin a turban:lol:

Good Luck;)

Quit thinking about it. Go out and do something. If you just sit around thinking about how miserable you are because you aren't smoking, you will be smoking again before you know it.guynamedbilly

Exactly, that's why its difficult right now cuz I'm at work & I used to go smoke whenever I wanted to escape the office. Probably explains why I've been on Gamespot all day!

I wish I can get my grandfathers off smoking :(nintendo_fan675

Same story here with my mom she's been smoking for 30 years. Butshe has cut back though. She used to smoke 2 packs a day, now she's down to 1. You know I calculated how much money she spent on smokes over the years and the figures are insane:

Cigarettes: $3.25 perpack times 2 packs a day = $6.50

$6.50 per day times 365 days = $2372.50 per year

$2372.50 per year times 30 years = $71,175.00.

Frightening isn't it? Almost 72 grand up in smoke:o

My advice is to go back in time and stop yourself from ever smoking.

I mean is it really that hard not to smoke! Do people just come up and make fun of you if you don't smoke?

Yeah, try adjusting your frame of mind. Ignorance is bliss for so many, but try to view life while *thinking* at the same time. You may just discover your "smoking" problem is an amusing facet of your past.

Gotta love that Mr. Fusion for allowing future cars to run on Banana peels and beer cans.:lol:

Good luck, dude. Quitting something via the cold turkey method is always difficult.

Your lungs will thank you in the end though - methinks. ;)
