I have not smoked a cigarette since Thursday.

Good on you!

I think smoking (and chewing) is one of the most disgusting and unattractive habits anyone can have. It makes you smell, discolors and ruins everything around you, ruins your health, and makes you look waaay older than you really are. Not to mention wastes money and time. I've been out on dates with pretty good looking guys and the smoking/chew was always the deal breaker. If I wanted to spend time with an ashtray, I'd haul one around with me.

This is true, but I think smoking is the one that affects everyone around the smoker the most.

Ever heard of laser treatment to help quit smoking ??

Heard about it from a buddy who wants to try it out to help him quit. He was told by someone else who had done it and they are now disgusted by the smell of cigarettes and they dont even have a craving anymore.

From the site above--

I believe you can speak to that point more informedly than anyone else.

Hey OP, congrats and keep it up, and good luck. After watching my mom die a slow, painful, agonizing death at the age of 65 from COPD, I fucking HATE smoking. Glad you're giving it up.

I've never really tried to quit, but even after smoking for 4 years, I don't feel that addicted to it. I always got the impression that not having a cigarette for more than a few hours would drive you totally nuts, but I don't get that way for some reason. For me it's more like "well, I haven't had a cigarette for a while, guess I'll go have one". Obviously I'm still addicted, but I always figured it'd be a lot worse.

Have stopped smoking some day two years ago in june.

Strangely enough, it was rel easy back then

 

[Harley Spencer]

I need to quit smoking too.

[Kingfisher]

Good for you. Keep going. Just don't fall back on pouches or chew to curb the feelings.

If you need motivation, I can tell you the gruesome details behind my mom's death from smoking-caused COPD. Smoking sucks.

 

[Red Spyder]

How selfish!! You do realize that by not smoking you just cut healthcare for poor kids, right? :tongue:

Blah, screw them!! You need your health, bud! :hatsoff:

No, I don't need motivation. I'm sorry to hear about your mom.

My dad has COPD, my mom is a smoker, my step-dad is a smoker, a lot of my co-workers are smokers, and I've known and been acquainted with a few people who have cancer due to smoking. I know all the tragic stories. Smoking is an addiction, it's a terrible habit, I don't need to be lectured on stuff that I already know. Smokers know that smoking is bad. Knowing that is enough motivation. Breaking it isn't as easy as non-smokers would think. I used to be a non-smoker, I used to get mad at my mom for smoking and her attitude about it, and I thought if she just put her mind to it, realized how bad it is for you, realized how much money she would save, thought about the people around her and her own health, she could quit. But it's not that easy. It's really not.

Thanks for the continued encouragement Another smokeless day and I actually didn't think about or crave a smoke much today. Even had a couple of beers without submitting to temptation.
