Tips For Quiting Smoking?

start doing other things instead of smoking . . .!!!!

that never works. Because smokers smoke before and after they do everything. About to do something, gotta have a cigarette first.

And since it almost always takes several repeated attempts to quit, if you start again, and end up having a cigarette prior to your new activity, that activity becomes associated with smoking.
 
I smoked from age 16 to about 21...then I quit cold turkey. I started again at 29 :csad:
 
i used to smoke like half a pack (10) a day. then last october i decided i wanted to start quitting. so i cut myself down to 5 a day, and wasnt allowed to have smokes within 2 hours of eachother. i did that for about 6 months, now im down to 3 a day (but a lot of times i only have 2). figure i'll do that for a few months....then eventually quit.

It's weird. It's hard and easy at the same time. Even now, I still want a cigarette pretty much all the time. But I understand it to be a choice I make everyday, a lot of times throughout the day. Sometimes it's super hard. Sometimes it's a thought that I toss to the back of my head.
 
Only advice I can give is not to try quiting during winter. You don't want to catch the flu during your quiting stage. I'm telling you from experience.

*still hasn't quit*

My friend was trying to make me quit. He stole my newly purchased pack and colored them all with permanent markers. He got creative on a couple of them with an American flag, No Fear crap (yes...he's EXTREME!)...etc. I didn't even notice the first one because I pulled it out, lit it and said, "This tastes funny". The guy at the smoke area said, "Um...maybe because its pink".
