Quitting Smoking....

...after 43 years is a real biatch!



Thank COD for modern, and less than lethal, nicotine delivery systems

Anytime you quit is a good time. I quit in 77 after 15 years. Cold turkey,  the first 3 days are the worse. Good Luck!

4 years clean here (after 25 smokin)--it's hard but definitely worth it.

Strangely can't seem to get this book on the US amazon.... so here's a link to the uk amazon

The Only Way to Stop Smoking Permanently  
Allen Carr, Penguin Books, ISBN: 0140244751

Worked for me, and the best bit: it was painless, easy and I don't miss the cigs at all.

I recently spoke to one of the temps at my work..

she was chewing nicotine gum. I asked her when she quit smoking..

initially she didn't want to reply because she was embarrassed but finally her reply was


"Two years ago"




she just can't seem to kick the gum now hehehe

Good Luck, don't underestimate how hard it really is..try not to kill anyone =)

I don't know how you people ever start!  Blech!  If cigarettes are so tasty, then they'd make cigarette flavored ice cream.

i second that "Allen Carr's" Book helped me too.
But doing sport on a regulary basis is what helped me
the most to forgett the stinkin things.

20 less butts flicked out the window  

always amazed how a smoker thinks the world is his/her ashtray

Quitting..to smell better, to smell, better, to taste better, to smell better, to breath easier, to laugh and cry for those who still smoke, to smell better, to loose that really cool golden goatee and mustache, to smell better, to live longer, to save money, to not have to go outside, and did I forget, to smell better. Sooo many cool things.

No toejam, that has always amazed me too.  How nice to pull up to a stop light to see hundreds of butts littering the side of the road.


WTG Lars, stick with it, you will be so happy you did later.

I just place my butts alongside your plastic bags, unwanted furniture, Mcdonald wrappers and oil spill leaks.

Keep it all in one place

Forget about cold turkey and nicotine patches... Zyban is the thing.

Ahh, the old, "other people do it so I will to" pathetic excuse.  Doesn't wash, you are responsible for what you do, regardless of what others do.  I dont really see any excuse for being a slob.

Personally, I never throw garbage out the window, I hang on till it until I get home and toss it in the garbage can.
