I quit smoking for about the 50th time this morning. Let’s see if I can go more than 45 minutes this time round.

Sometimes, it’s not so good to get information in real time.
(A French has been)
Do what I did. Get married, have her walk out and decide to stop because you know you’re already moody, angry and miserable, so hell, what’s a little more …
Hmm. Maybe not.
Zyban. ( or a generic)
Worked for my wife, and she had quit a zillion times before that. Stops the got-to-have-a-cig mood from lingering. At least it did for her.
I saw this yesterday, it might help…

I’m trying to quit today as well. Since I have always failed by quitting in the morning, I think I should try quitting in the afternoon. When the last smoke is gone, I’m done.
something that helped me — i told myself, ok, sonny boy, you’ve smoked approximately 100,000 cigarettes. if that isn’t enough, what is? (it’s been almost ten years since the last one)
Don’t quit, smoking makes you look cool and attracts the ladies
If you like smoking, smoke.
There’s a 10 in 20 chance you’ll die from something completely unrelated.*
*+ — 10
Get pregnant? That is what my sister did. Now i don;t know what is more off putting — the smell of stale smoke or the constant chomping of gum.
AARGH.

You’ve got to want it for yourself and not do it for someone else. That’s what finally helped me quit.
Hang in there!
chesshire you are hilarious
Good luck, Hugh. Quitting takes alot of discipline when you have help from things like Zyban let alone going at it cold turkey. My dad cut his smoking in half using Nicortte.
I quit in February after some 36 years of pack-a-day. Cold turkey. Smoking was mostly responsible for a ridiculous number of horrific acid reflux attacks. I couldn’t stand it anymore so finally just gave up.
On the one hand I still want one every single day. On the other, I know I’m bigger than they are and can say no.
One thing — you shouldn’t try to quit if you’ve got a lot of drinking on your plate. Pick a date where you can give yourself a week or two with no alcohol. ALcohol makes it too easy and inviting to have that one smoke.
Even a glass of Stormhoek.
Good on yer mate! after twenty five years without a fag, after stopping smoking around 100 rollies a day cold turkey, I still hanker for that dishy man I was with a fag dangling from my chin, how I pulled women with a single smoke ring, how I got so much sex I had to keep a separate filofax for sleeping arrangements [NOT]. The fact that I can now run for the bus and get it, that my kids don’t mind being around me instead of choking is the thing that keeps me clean. It’s like being an alcoholic, it never goes away, but you get less likely to give in the further away from the last one you get.
It’s now about a week later .. how did it go ?
