    That's the problem with smoking. You won't realise the damage until it's too late. The damage is internal, and the organs being damaged are still going to continue to work, but they'll some day "just give up" and you can't replace a lung or heart. I'm not a bookworm either, but you don't have to smoke not to be a bookworm. It would be stupid to believe that smoking makes you a "cool" guy. I think is a way for yourself to feel that you are not an addict and you're smoking to be cool. Most smokers I know are addicts, but some just don't realise it. And since you've gifted yourself this on a birthday, be honest to yourself and don't fool yourself around. If you can't respect yourself (and your body), who else will? :) You'd know what bad health is like, if you lie on a bed for a month or so with a ruptured lumbar spinal disc only to get off the bed to eat and crap. That was my case, but smoking damages those organs that are even more vital. Good health is a great gift, and don't screw around with it giving lame excuses. And if you're addicted, accept that and put yourself in a strict course to get out of it.

      I thought I would keep some scotch as replacement for the Sunday. Now I have had it and I need a fag. I will be using cashews as replacement from tomorrow. I am really glad that I am finally thinking to give up on this shit.

        I've been to more funerals because of smoking than anything else.

          My father is a chain smoker & vocational drinker Now he is sick, when i was little(around 10) my mom requested me "you should never smoke or drink in your lifetime otherwise mom become alone". Her words made me good one not like my dad. Now i'm 24 & still following her words & first of all i mostly dislike these things. I don't want make her sad.

                I am a smoker for past 7 years. I really do not feel like smoking but also don't feel like giving it up. I am trying hard to give it up (with a really heavy head).

                I'm the same, want to stop, but don't want to stop. The difference is, i can happily go days without one, last week when i wasn't feeling to great, i never had one for 6 days. i had 1 yesterday and haven't had one today. Breaking the routine is the key in my opinion. I used to have one with a cup of tea after my breakfast offshore, before i went through to my office. Last trip i broke that cycle. At home i usually have one with a can of Red Bull just to kickstart the day, and that would usually be the only one of the day, if i wasn't going anywhere or doing anything. The biggest problem is at home...........introduce beer and its game over, especially when the weather is fine, and you happily go outside and sit in the sun.

                    GOOD FOR YOU! I smoked a pack and a half a day for years. I quit smoking January 1, 1991. I quit 'cold turkey', with no patches, hypnosis, or drugs. I realized very quickly that if I ever smoked another cigarrette, I would begin a never-ending cycle of quitting and relapsing. Suggestions: 1. Drink lots of water and/or fruit juice. 2. Toss out all of the ash trays, lighters, and other paraphernalia. 3. Clean and vacuum the car. If you can, get it detailed where they will clean the upholstery. 4. Stay away from your old hangouts where you smoked. The physical symptoms of nicotine withdrawal fade in 7-10 days. The mental withdrawal takes a lot longer, I'm afraid. In my case, I substituted a positive addiction for a negative one: I became a runner. I now run 15-20 miles a week. I'm old, fat, and slow, but at least I don't wheeze going up and down steps. The dumbest fucking thing I ever did in my life was start smoking, and quitting was one of the smartest.

                          I've never smoked, but a lot of people I know stopped smoking this year, as the price of cigarettes nearly doubled on the night of December 31st. They have also stated that this book proved helpful.

                              Alcohol is about the worst thing you can do, at least for me that would be the case. I always smoke more when drinking so... Best thing is keep your mind busy and away from thinking about it.

                                Thanks :-\. I've been running for 18 years now. I've run two marathons, several half marathons, and more shorter races than I can remember. I've probably run somewhere around 12-15,000 miles in training. Some people find it hard to believe, but I actively enjoy doing this.

                                    So, I turned 25 yesterday and gave up smoking as birthday gift to my self. I haven't had a fag for quite a longer time(over 30 hours). Any quitters with some tips? Right now I am really desperate to get a fag.

                                    Take a puff of that golden tobacco leaf. Imagine the soothing flow of tingling sensations of that uplifting smoke and the very real satisfaction it gives you seconds after. The fresh smell of a newly opened pack of cigarettes, packing them down, pulling one out, and sparking it up. Breath in, breath out, ahhhhh... In all seriousness, try Swedish snus.

                                      Well, for a start, it would be difficult to impregnate Facebook girlfriends. ;)

                                      Cheers, Vikram. (Got my troika of CCCs!)

                                        On Friday it will be a year since I stopped. I was 32 then and started when I was 15. I dont know how much of an incentive it is but waking up in the morning, not coughing and not rushing outside to have a ciggy is fantastic.

                                          You tried to pull the same stunt with me when I made a similar post a year ago. Guess what fucktard? I still don't smoke :)
