Quitting smoking..

[skittlesRgood]

this is a psychology trick I heard that is supposed to work extremely well. decide some amount of money that would hurt you to lose. now write 6 checks for that amount and give them so someone you trust and wont lie to. now every week they check in with you and ask if you smoked that week. if you have, they cash a check if you didnt smoke, they rip up one check. simple as that.

I'm not trying to be a dick here by any means, but I don't understand why its so hard for people. I smoked for a little over 3 years a pack a day. Not sure what did it, but something made me realize how much money i was wasting on them. So i stopped buying them, and havent bought or had another once since...maybe its just me that it was so easy for idk.

My mom just up and quit when i was growing up, so ive seen it done cold turkey quite easily.. But I've seen my dad try before which wasn't pretty.. And I've failed a number of times..

I know it's not exactly quitting SMOKING, but you should try moving to cigars or pipes to slowly ween yourself off of cigs. It'll probably help you get off of the cigs, and they're known to be less addicting, if not addicting at all compared to cigs due to not inhaling the smoke and no additive/addictive chemicals. My pops used to be a pack a day kinda guy, then he started cigars after the suggestion, and slowly but surely he went from a few cigars a week to one or two, and now he doesn't even smoke.

Plus, you get the added taste bonus. Cigars and pipes taste a hell of a lot better than cigs.

Just a suggestion. (Coming from a non addicted cigar smoker)

I know Chantix fuckin works. I got a trial of it and instead of taking 2 a day for a week like they say, I took 1 a day for 2 weeks. After ~5 days I was at 1 per day. After that 2 weeks I was a tard though and got wasted and smoked a pack in a night... fail.

I don't smoke but I eat a ton of sunflower seed and I hear that helps. It gives your mouth something to do so you don't get cravings.

My mom has been using that and she swears by it. She used to smoke almost a pack a day now she's down to one... Thank god I never picked up smoking.

Being physically active is what helped 2 of my friends quit - it makes you think twice before filling your lungs with chemicals if you have been trying to be healthy.

Good luck an stay strong, the forum is here if you need some support and my pm box is always open, even if you just want to let me know that you diddnt smoke today, makes you want to say that you hadant kinda thing.

I know a lot of people like chewing gums that are pretty hot to have that sensation
