My 1st week in over 15 years….
Feb 15, 2013 @ 17:25:10
I love smoking.
Feb 15, 2013 @ 17:30:21
You can do it, Darryl. I quit in August 2005 after smoking for about 35 years, and I haven't had a cigarette since.

Nice one Darryl, For those having trouble quitting, Try an e-cig from Totally Wicked, I can assure you this is definatly the worlds best supplier of e-cigs, Now im not a salesmen trying to flog them im just here to hopefully help some of you having trouble, Let me provide 2 examples, Both of my work collegues smoked for quite awhile, One aged 27 smoked for roughly 12 years and one ages 47 smoked for almost 30 years, Within one week Yes ONE WEEK. Both of them were 100% reliant on these e-cigs, One would spend £80-100 a week, I have one of these e-cigs myself and i can assure you they are great and will not let you down, There's loads of different flavors you can try for them as well for those that want to get rid of that disgusting cig taste so you really cant go wrong with one of these, The basic one is about £40 and a more advanced one is about £90, Now £90 for something that is rechargeable, refillable and 100% safe eliminating all harmful crap from actual cigs so your just getting what you want, Nicotine ^^ Seriously for those who haven't seen these yet and want to quit, Take my word for it im not lieing lol
USA site for TW http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.com/
UK site for TW http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk/
Best of luck to anyone planning on quitting and my apologies for the huge wall of text and sorry Darryl for putting this on a reply to your post
Feb 16, 2013 @ 02:42:58
Oh and neither has touched a real cig since getting one of these
Feb 16, 2013 @ 03:44:07
Aaron Worrall I used some disposable e cigs. I don't remember the name. It was the single ones that were like 2 packs of cigs. I used them for about 2 weeks or so then quit them. I think the E cig helped me in quitting.

My 61-year-old sister has just been diagnosed with lung disease & asthma after smoking since she was 8 years old. Sad. Very sad.

I'm 23 I guess I'm gonna wait 20 years again when I'm 43 before quitting just like you did man.
Feb 17, 2013 @ 00:21:08
The first week is the toughest. At times I thought : I either have another fag or I jump off a cliff. That basically is why everybody goes back on them. I didn't though. If you fail to quit try again until you succeed. I tried 12 times. Now I've been off them for 12 years. I feel so much better and happier. I gave them up even though I was unhappy. It seemed crucial to keep away from socialising with smokers. Now I have a beautiful house and clean white walls and the air is clean and I feel definitely healthier now. Unbelievable as it may seem people think that smoking is cool!

Jeremy Scott Ringley try eCIGS.COM.I FEEL LIKE I AM STILL SMOKING BUT WITHOUT THE TOXIC CHEMICALS AND NO SMELL.I CAN SMOKE THEM ANYWHERE EVEN IN THE HOSPITAL.I HAVE RESEARCHED MOST ELECTRONIC CIGS. AND FOUND THESE TO BE THE BEST IN PRICE AND SATISFACTION.GIVE IT A TRY YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND SO MUCH TO GAIN.

Strange how ppl avoid talk how much cars in big city can affect us much more than cigarrettes.
Feb 16, 2013 @ 02:54:44
Dumbass…SO not true!
Feb 16, 2013 @ 07:01:41
i hate carbon monoxide too … aint nothing like the personal victory of quitting the addiction that is killing u. that ur struggling w that is making u insane and sick. thats mixed in w ur psyche emotions self esteem self destruction duality social pressuer the smoking institution which targeted us personally as kids to get addicted w hard core multi million advertising and still does, hiding how deadly and addictive it was. i think its quite more complex on the personal level than too many cars due to too many people. alot of densely populated cities r instilling mass transit and car pooling to bring traffic down and hopefully one day we will go from gas to solar power, altho this thread was about quitting smoking y not start another thread. or was that on the defensive?
Mar 08, 2013 @ 17:33:30
i dont think you got what i mean…. don't you see this non-smoking propaganda is just to focus your attention on something little, so that the big things are not presented…
sur smoking isnt healthy, but why dont we put signs next to pharmaceutics,food-poisoning, cars, industries, nuclear,…. these things are far worse,why ? because they have negative retroactions

Heidi Marie Valido Pino and not only for 1 person, but for all of mankind
Mar 08, 2013 @ 17:35:34
but still,quit smoking ,its for having a fake peace of mind
Mar 08, 2013 @ 17:40:41
and i forgot somthing much bigger : money based system : cause of stress,inequality, poverty and all sorts of illnessess, psychologic disorders, etc… why dont we put a sign on money hé ? Oh no , thats not what the plutocrasy wants …
Feb 15, 2013 @ 14:41:26
Transitioned from conventional cigarettes to Cigarillos. can't smoke cigarettes anymore but now I still have to quit the cigarillos. it seems whenever I try to quit I end up drinking a LOT.

Me too Milan…l quit januari the 26th after smoking 30 to 40 cigarettes a day for 29 years.
l didn't quit for the money nor the health…l quit for not allowing that addictive stick having control over my life mood any longer. I AM FREE!

Ive tried and tried but cant quit, I'm focusing on cutting down so I at least smoke less and maybe when I try and quit next time I might have a chance. does anyone know if those e cig things make a difference or not less tar I s'pose but still seems a bit dodgy..
Feb 15, 2013 @ 18:03:57
I smoked for forty years, but haven't had one for 19 weeks using the ecigs solely
Feb 15, 2013 @ 20:08:29
I used Chantix. The dreams were vivid and my insurance didn't cover it, so my first month was over 2 hundred dollars. It stops you from recieving the nicotine to your brain so you are off of it before you quit. You do get the withdrawals the first couple of weeks, I used an ecig as a pacifier because I wasn't getting the nicotine, and after 2 weeks I was done with that, and lowered my own dosage of the pills and I was done after 29 years of smoking. That was Sept 16th of last year. : ) Good luck

i've heard of e-cigs being banned in countries for basically not being any healthier or worse, though i'd recomend looking into yourself i've only read a bit here and there

i quit on the forum in about.com. started when i was 12 smoked for 20+ yrs last decade or so 1 pack of filterless cigarrettes a day. this month is my 2 year anniversary. that aint no monkey, thats a demon. quit asap. do it w help and support. all the info and support u will ever need is on the forum
Apr 28, 2013 @ 22:16:43
Don't give up trying. It frequently happens that smokers need several attempts to quit. I started like you and reduced one by one. It helped me to train myself to beat the craving. I think now I can resist, 2 weeks since I smoked my last ones. Good luck

5+ years since I quit I now have COPD and other shit wrong with me but the stress has not made want to smoke!

But w anxiety attacks causing shortness of breath, recently diagnosed incorrectly by sum nurse practioner, telling me my shortness of breath was a beginning stage of emphysema. I went into a trauma, googling the ways i would die. Then seeing a follow up dr, i found out, they were anxiety attacks.. nd with all that trauma. Yea. Cigs got kicked to the curb!! BYE!

Feb 16, 2013 @ 02:36:45
Almost 5 years without smoking! Smoked 1 1/2 packs a day for 27 years! Doc said quit or die so I quit cold turkey!
Best decision of my life!
Feb 16, 2013 @ 02:38:55
5 yrs, after 15 yrs.
Feb 16, 2013 @ 03:39:25
After twenty-one years of two packs per, tomorrow I'll be exactly two years and fifty weeks free–cold turkey (after hospitalization due to double pneumonia…with an abcess! And thoracic surgery!).

Almost 8 months after 20 years of smoking. Cold turkey on 3rd try, never made it past a couple days previously…I think I might make it..
Feb 16, 2013 @ 17:33:21
ONE YEAR ACOME FEB 24 AFTER 55YRS OF SELVEDESTRUCTION. HEALTH IS IMPROVING.
Feb 17, 2013 @ 00:23:24
Nearly 12 years I've been off 'em. I used to smoke 35/40 a day. Looking back it was absolute slavery.
Quitting was my finest hour. I had to go cold turkey as patches etc were useless. I went right through hell for the first year. I lost my concentration completely. It takes a lot of bloody mindedness to quit. After a year it was easy. Born again non-smokers are the very best.
Feb 17, 2013 @ 17:55:05
It must be a great sense of achievement to get to one year on, I'm glad I never started as I would have found it hard to find the self control to give up.

Such hogwash bullshit modern science they are making this up without a shadow of a doubt and just because they can brainwash you that easy – these so called scientists – like me mate – are no more able to calculate the exact processes in every body (the same huh what a laugh) and come up with an exact time scale that suits everyone and asunder no matter how long they have been smoking, no matter what the other environmental factors are, no matter what the genetic disposition! You people are sheople, sucked totally in by dumb science!
