Never started. Never had to stop.

15 days is good. Apparently your lungs completely reknew themselves every 7 years, or som bull**** like that.

So in 7 years, it will be as if you had never smoked.

they reckon the first two weeks is the hardest.. ive never smoked.. but i think ive got pretty good will power.. gave up drinking for 2 years with all my mates getting pissed every weekend.. and gave up smoking weed as soon as i decided i wanted to. obviously the nicotine withdrawals is a whole different ball game. respect if you keep the habit kicked.

I smoked for about 25 years and gave up 3 years ago last month.
I used patches and they definately helped.
For me the secret of giving up the ciggy's was basically breaking your habits.
I used to always light up after a meal and would smoke heaps at the computer, so I left my smokes in another room far away from reach so that I wouldn't just light up without thinking.
15 days is good going and you should be well on the way to beating it as your past the toughest part now. Good luck with it. :)

I smoked weed for 10 years and just decided one day to give up and I did, no hassles. The drawback was that I started smoking ciggies, I smoked for a few years and then managed to cut it back to when I was just drinking, now I hardly smoke at all. I think it's all about trying to break the habit. I don't think it's so much the nicotine addiction as the habitual side of things, like when your driving, after meals and stuff. When I quit, I had cravings for about three weeks, then I was sweet, so you're well on your way.

Good luck!!

man this **** is giving me killer insomnia

Yep, your lungs and liver are the only organs that keep regenerating themselves after about twenty five - thirty.

After smoking most of my life I gave up when I was about 17 or 18 when I started training really ****ing hard considering going somewhere with it, but I didn't have what it takes mentally to give everything up and sacrifice everything. Weak, I know lol :ugh:

:boxing:

Anyway, I started smoking again and have been now for many years sadly. I found it easy the first time around and I think the key is simply wanting to. I know that sounds a bit daft but a lot people try to give up when they don't really want to, they just think they should and it makes it very, very hard. If you truly want to give up then you'll find it easy and as someone said it is just breaking the small daily habits that are the big thing. Like if you had a smoke with your coffee or tea in the morning try cutting out having a morning coffee for a while as well which will break the mental and even physical routine of lighting up with that particular memory. It is those small details that make it giving up easy.

Go through your daily smoking routine and find out which are the big daily habits...most seem to be the morning smoke, driving smoke, after food, with drinks and the night ciggy. You just need to find small ways to get around these little habits by changing everything about them in small ways for just a little while until the memory disappears. Good luck. I've got to give up again to soon. Starting training hard again. Can't smoke at the same time.

good lad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

started when a loosy was 5 cents! A pack was 75 cents and a quart was a dollar!

that was 1982...

i'm coming up on 7 months (quit August 4th) It was a real head banger the first 3 weeks, I kinda cheated though, I was taking hit's of Dip, Skoal mint, long cut, but I didn't light up!! That was the whole thing.....Don't light up! You gotta find other things to substitute the habit of putting something in your mouth. I would chew on a straw!

The first few weeks it's torture, ain't gonna lie, the cravings are still there. You see some dude light up, and you start thinking you can have "just one", or even just a "few drags". DON'T!!!

The best way I can put to you dude, you gotta fight off those gremlins that keep messing with you...

At that VERY MOMENT...I drop and knock out 50 push-ups! take deep Breathes, really deep...inhale through your nose...hold 3 seconds...exhale through your mouth (slowly!). You'll get a little dizzy sensation...but that is fighting off gremlins!

props to you Bro, for quiting them smokes, It ain't easy, but you gotta "roll-with-the-punches".

Do what 'ol Sarge does....

Drop and knock out 50!
