I just bought a pound of tobacco the other day.  I'll have to smoke that up, before I think about quitting.
 

I'd like to retract that statement.  I like the looks of these positive posts on this subject.  It gives me hope.

I quit and start back every 2 weeks

Got up to two packs a day and had to quit.  Spent $40 or so on the strongest Nicorette gum there is, 4MG, and had a piece whenever i wanted a smoke, which was basically all the time.  But as soon as you chew the gum and all the nicotine hits not only do you not want to smoke you really can't smoke.  I'd have so much nicotine in me I'd be hiccupping.  About 2 or 3 days of that I was fine, although I do go through a lot of Tic-Tacs and cough drops now.  Lot cheaper though, and now I can run again.

I had all but quit back in 04, I was down to 3 cigs a day.  I had finished lunch and was getting ready to leave, when a suicide bomber blew himself up in our chow hall.  I decided that it was not a good time to quit and, well that is the closest I have ever come to completely quiting.  1/2 a pack to a pack a day.

Retarded comment.

Ever feel like you just didn't get it? You had one of those moments...my comments were/are quite appropriate and correct...welcome to the world of staying informed. The health hazards of smoking are no worse than almost anything else people do in their daily lives...10 minutes in the garage with a running gasoline engine is worse than smoking a carton of cigarettes...we are exposed to so many health hazards in our daily lives and yet people want to point the finger at a single item. Drinking alcohol kills more people in a day than a truck full of cigarettes.

Fact is we "civilized" people ingest so many hazardous chemicals every day of our lives, voluntarily or not...it's a wonder we aren't all 2 headed.

smoking is a pointless waste of money. who really needs a cigarette anyway?

Actually, it's a known fact that the effects of the chemicals in cigarettes has the same effect on the brain that some addictive drugs have...and that's what causes the dependence. Drugs like Chantix actually block the receptors in the brain that causes the addictive response...takes a while for the brain to be "weened" and that's why the docs recommend 4 months of Chantix use (that and at $180 per 30 day supply, there is a tidy profit for the pharmacy).

how long does the coughing stay

[gyrene81]

how long does the coughing stay

Til your lungs heal as much as they can...depends on how long you have been smoking and adding to the lung damage with exposure to other chemicals...some people never get rid of the cough completely...last time I quit, the cough lasted a month.

When I was a kid it was quite common to smoke indoors. I guess no kids love doing the dishes, but what I really hated was to wash those little ashtrays. The smell of wet ashes was disgusting!

My dad quit smoking about a decade ago at his mother's funeral, without any pills, gums, stickers or toys. Just a man's decision, and a real man stands behind his decisions, as he says.  He started at the age of about 12, and even got it accepted by his father, because it made him feel less hungry. Getting cigarettes in Germany in the late Forties was easier and cheaper than getting food for a family with eight children... He is now 74, but due to his healthy manner of living, I still wouldn't win him in arm wrestling! OTOH I've always been a weakling...

Non smoking doesn't hinder social life, I've been going 'round the corner for a smoke with the guys since my schooldays without ever smoking myself.

Cyrene, running a gasoline engine for ten minutes in a closed room IS more dangerous, so much so that you'd never do it again.  Smoking a box of cigarettes, on the other hand,you're gonna want to do it again.

As to alcohol, look at the death rate per thousand, you'll see that smoking kills more.
