Live Stoner Chat I Dont Smoke!

[late]

Quitting smoking was one of the best things I ever did. Do whatever it takes,
it is so worth it. Don't get discouraged if you slip, slap on a patch and keep goin'.

Exercise can help, doesn't matter much which one.

I quit smoking cigs by smoking reef instead... when I'd get the craving for nicotine I'd do a toke... & at 1st it took a coupla tokes before the urge to smoke a cigarette went away, it definitely made the nicotine withdrawals less severe... last cig I had was over 10 years ago now... it really worked

Two things I discovered when I quit. One it was an oral thing for me. To help with that I bought a box of coffee stirrers and chewed on them. Did that constantly, always had some on me. Two is that the urge was very situational, think you're discovering that now with after diner and driving. I tried to avoid or modify the situation to help the urge. It's funny, even today when I take a break when I am in the middle of a car repair I'll step away and feel the urge for a butt. Crazy!

Hope that bit of reminiscing helps in some small way.

Good job IDS. I can't say I'm as strong as you! I'm 27 and been smoking since 15. I'm trying so hard. I use to smoke a pack a day. I smoke about 4 to 5 a day but I feel ya on the pain after a night of smoking! Sucks ass on the next morning.

Keep it up bro! I quit cocaine cold turkey and it was no problem but cigs are a bitch! Wish I would have never started!

IDS man, don't mean to steal your thread, but it has been quite reactivating for me for some reason. You mentioned your four year old and all I can think of was my deciding moment. My little girl and I were walking hand in hand up the drive she was five at the time. She said something along the lines of "Daddy when are you going to quit smoking, you promised me you would so you won't die". I quit the next day.

fair play to you ids i like what wwwillie said if u need to one, have a spliff at least it does something a cig dont do any thing i quit drinking when i 23, class A drugs when i was 28 and i only smoke cigs at work if its a BAD day and thats only cause i cant have a spliff lol. I did class A and cigs for my kids and trust me mate its 100 times easyer than doing it for them, that doing it for yourself good luck bro

Man I've gotta say your post inspired me to quit smoking too! Just a little push is needed.
I had this horrible, chemical taste after smoking a cigarette and I just don't want to smoke since then!
Really gonna try this time
