I've tried quitting a few times...after the last 2, I decided I'm not ready too. my pdoc says that there are medicines used for smoking cessation which one of them I actually take. *Wellbutrin
also, look up Dr.'s book of home remedies may help and try and find an activity that u can do instead! I give u a high five for trying! Big ups to ya and hang in there!

I need to quit

I DO NOT WANT to quit

I quit once for 7 years

Quitting was the hardest thing I've ever done
Considering Nicotine is more addictive than Heroin, Heroin Addicts have Methadone to fall back on.

A smoker , is out there with your A#@ hanging out


GOOD LUCK !

3 years was my longest quit.

for a girl. it is possible. :)

i chewed nicorette gum for a bit, and tried to smoke beadies (non-tobacco cigarettes) yechhh.

good luck to you. you can do eeet!

Amen amigas...we all know we "need" to quit...but life gets in the way sometimes. I have two types of homeopathics-one for lung health and one specifically for nicotine withdrawl. They do seem to help within a few minutes of taking them. My husband is being a huge support and that is nice. Like Thomas the Train...I can do this, I can do this.

But it still sucks.

I quit cold turkey last summer and haven't looked back.

I just was sick of cigarettes. they tasted terrible not like they use to, and also gave me a cough that never went away. I mean never I still have it.

Good luck with quitting. I find that developing a hatred for them does the trick.

I have never smoked, alcohol was my drug of choice a long time ago. But I am very allergic to second hand smoke, so I just want to encourage you that you are really helping more than just you. It means that you will not light up as I walk by, forcing me to go the the hospital. It means that for the many with allergies, especially children, you are paving the way for cleaner air.

My sister was a long time smoker and she also used Wellbutrin to help her stop. She quit over 10 years ago, and I know if she was on this site, she would also encourage you to tough it out. It is worth it for your health, your pocket book, and I think you will start to feel better within a week. They say that every week after that adds a week onto your life. And your body will recover from the damage that has been done to it.

Over 5000 chemicals, with 56 known carcinogens. That doesn't include heart disease, lung issues etc. I'm with you on this one. Praying for you to stick with it. You CAN do it!

Has anyone used that electronic cigarette?

I need to quit. I know I can quit, I have done it before. So much going on our lives at moment that maybe I'm using it as an excuse?

Well done on 2 days x

I've quit several times. It's the not going back to it that gets me.

Im just starting to quit, im starting with just cutting down atm, iv smoked for over 20yrs, never tried to quit, but i have no choice now, long story.
Im on a waiting list to get on a government funded non smoking program, yes i live in Canada, i will get meds & counselling for free. In the mean time if i dont get the call by the end of the month im gonna do the patch.
I wish you luck!!!
HUGS
dee =o)

I did very well with wellbutrin once and the patch another time.

Unfortunately, I am smoking again. Sigh. I hate everything about it, particularly the way is smells, but I still do it. It makes me hate myself too. Grrr.

Congratulations on 2 days!

I tried to quit twice didnt work and now that my lungs are actually what is gonna kill me I aint up for it but I do wish you the best of luck

I wish I could quit. I'm tired of the cough and congestion and stuff. Does Wellbutrin really work for that? Maybe that and the electronic cig? Maybe now that I'm fairly stable I could actually do it. Congrats on day 2! I've quit a few times and I've found its just a one day at a time thing.

Maybe you should have asked " Who has tried to quit ? "

I quit about three years ago. I since have smoked about three cigarettes but that was a while back too.
All the best to you both and I hope you feel the benefits soon.

I still like midgets though. Never gonna give them up.

I quit for 21yrs and started 4 yrs ago.
Tried the electric cig and almost quit but didn't make it.
Went to a quit class last night and it looks like a good way to try.
I do hate it but love it too.
Good luck to all who are trying.
Congrats on 2 days
