i'm finding it a real bitch quitting with the herb here in amsterdam

great post Jimmy btw, most encouraging breakdown of the benefits of quitting i've ever seen

jesus christ i smoked blunts but not daily fuck smoking is bad

You can do it!

Ohh ill NEVER start again man, and i haven't really had any urges, well except for the first few days where i had to remove myself from the office and work from home LOL

And yeah great breakdown Jimmy, exactly what im seeing here!

Ya i am taking the plunge and quitting myself very soon had enough of the crap.

2 weeks it's a good start, but you can only say that you quit smoking 2 or 3 years from now.

True enough, but hey ive been going thru 30-40 a day so im just happy its over.

will be a year this Feb 20th that i quit from 20 ciggys a day to zero.

stay away from bars never had that kind of habit hope you really quit but like a drug user u may relaps when u hit a bad time in your life god forbid good luck:thumbsup

been about a month for me. No slip ups, no urges
best move i ever made

Not touching a drink until May 21st "GF birthday etc".
Actually that might just turn out to be tougher then the non smoking LOL :upsidedow

Upside!
Might actually loose weight with all the sports im doing now :thumbsup

I think I have tried just about every gimmick/solution out there.

So, I was walking thought the mall and they where selling these...

I'm a light smoker, about 1/2 pack a day, but I have never been able to actually quit this stupid habit. So I went over and tried the test model they had there... The damn thing is just like smoking, without the nasty smells etc.

So I bought a starter set and have been puffing away on it the last couple days. I could seriously see ditching regular cigs.

You still get you Nicotine fix, but without the other crap. Seriously cool.

PLUS you can "smoke" it anywhere. It's quite funny to be puffing away at a starbucks or in a mall and see the looks you get using it. LOL. It's not tobacco, produces no second hand smoke, is not subject to federal or state non smoking laws etc. They even give you an information card with a toll free number and information about it to give to questioning people managers who may question you about it.

USB powered smokes... what's the world coming too..

And this is exactly what im using!
Works like a damn charm.... http://www.nicorette.ca/en/default.asp "the inhaler"

For my level of smoking i should be going thru 10 caps a day, but only using one.

congrats on your decision

That's a great decision man. Sounds like you are already reaping the rewards :thumbsup
