I'm a little over a week in my quit, and have found a pretty good online quit smoking program. Its a little crowded now because it was mentioned on that "Dr.Phil" show, but the information is extremely helpful even if the support boards are a little bogged down.

Have a look - its sponsored by the American Lung Association

Good luck man. I have several friends who can not shake it. I am glad I never started.

You gotta be a brain dead idiot to even think about starting smoking these days. I hear tell it's bad for you.

Good luck in cleanin up.

The problem is I didn't start "these days" but "those days" when the warning still said "Cigarettes MAY be hazardous to your health" and any 13 year old could buy them.

Tweety, I was a confirmed smoker for 23 years, 2 1/2 packs a day of Camel Filters, and if I could quit (12 years smoke free, but a cigar once in a while is sweet) then anyone can.

Once you start being able to smell, taste, breathe normally again you'll be glad you quit. You'll still have urges, and occasionally another's cigarette will smell good to you, but you're either a smoker or you aren't. WTG on making the decision to quit, and STICK WITH IT, you'll be glad you did.

Ask your Dr for Zyban It helps alot of people.
I take Wellbutrin it's the same thing and I went from a pack a day to well like today for example i have had 1 cigg.
I am just about done with em.

Airhead Is right no more sinus headaches and I can breath again.

Thanks guy's for the encouragement. I'm hoping the 8th time is a charm.

Oh come on airhead, tough love man...

Do like this guy. Every time he gets the urge, he disciplines himself. He looks pretty smart.

I don't even want to know how you find stuff like that.

I know it is suppossed to, but for whatever reason anti-depressents make me depressed. ****ed in the head, I suppose.

Hasn't Wellbutrin been linked to a rash of suicides? (seriously)
