Seriously wouldn't suprise me.  I always stopped taking it after a few days but man, it can really put you in a bummer.

LOL I thought you quit trolling Bimmerfest....what are you doing with the video of the BMW Rite of Initiation?

Tweety, if, and when, you decide to quit- in your heart of hearts- that is when you will finally quit. Patch, Zyban, hypnotism nor any other quit smoking method will not work unless you genuinely want it to-

But quitting smoking changed my life. I grew four inches, chicks started digging me, my insurance rates went down, my noodle doubled in size because of increased bloodflow- and my newfound confidence moved me from the mailroom to a Full Partnership in my lawfirm, and all I have is a junior high school diploma which I have in a frame on my office wall. It may not say much in the way of my education but it looks impressive because we used Elmer's glue and glitter on the block letters, and face it- people are more impressed by pazzaz and dazzle than they are by substance.

   Ya, It did that for me, as well as giving me involuntary shakes in my hands.  Was good curbing the cigarette appetite, but had to quit using it (Zyban) for those reasons.

Quitting smoking is the sigle best thing you can do to improve your health. Hang in there Willdcrd, and to help with the cravings try deep breathing when you get the urge to smoke, if that rattling in your chest doesn't make you realize smoking will kill you, well... then nothing will.

I use the patch as well and a "inhalator" when the patches makes its itch to bad.

Makes me dream a whole lot, but I dont crave cigaretts, they really help.

what Airhead said,
i quit smoking 2 1/2 years ago, i just quit and said thats it,
never used anything special for help.
But i think doing sport helped me alot at the first 2-3 month's.
I started to train for thriathlon (swim, run, bycicle) that time.
I wish you good luck TweetyBird, its really a "mind" thingy,
think about the years before you started smoking, you where free
and didnt needed smoke, imagine you can feel that way again.

But hey at the new year party 2 weeks ago me & my friends where
"smoking" a BIG cigarr just for fun hehe :)

Hang in there, It can be done and its not as bad as or difficult when you get past the first few weeks and you know how to handle your craving.

gave up for 8 months last NYE after about 9 years of binge smoking.

started again in august when i got pissed at something or someone i forget.

really, REALLY sucks to be back on them.  If you have given up and fancy 'just a quick puff'.... DONT!


It might take a few months to actually beat the addiction, but it only take one smoke to get back on them. :(

the sinus is a tube in your nose that goes somewhere else, cant remember where. apparently there is two of them, one for each nostrel.

how very generous of god.

when it gets clogged with snot you get head pains, energy depletion and in heavy cases a temperature and flu symptoms.

smoking does not help with sinus congestion.
