will you ever stop smoking?

i've been a non smoker for a full 18 hours now. not easy, i kind of decided i didn't want to be addicted to something so pointless

Hi there! I know a lot of people who are smokers who were able to stop smoking but only for a while and went back to smoking after a couple of weeks or so. I even have a cousin who made it as his New Year's resolution to quit smoking but given up after a week and had to suffer from a month of teasing from me. I used to be a smoker but then I got pregnant. I stopped smoking and didn't go back to the habit even long after I gave birth. I still smoke once in a while, usually when on drinking sessions but I don't really crave for it. I would recommend chewing some gum or snack on fruits whenever you feel like smoking. Just something to keep your mouth busy. Maybe print out details about lung cancer and read it everytime you feel the urge to smoke. Whatever kind of motivation works for you.

I have tried several times to quit. I know I need to. I know I have to. I just have to set a date and do it. It will not be easy. I will probably get a big bag of suckers or hard candy to keep my mouth occupied. Smoking is an oral thing. I will use substitution as a way to help me quit.

Yesterday it started raining here, the first rains of the season which made me feel like smoking and i smoked around 4.Now i got one which i will smoke later lol.i think i cannot stop smoking but i have to do it forcibly when i get married.as my husband wont like me doing it.not that i will quit it for him, but then i will quit it because i dont want to prove him superior over me.

Smoking to be harmful to health, which no one do not know. However, it is the non-smokers do not really ,I think this is not a determination.

Gave up smoking for six months a few years ago. I took zyban. But one night I went out drinking and thought one smoke would not mater. The next day I was a smoker again. I gave myself a age limit, it's been and gone. I think the only way to give up is if you really want to. It won't stick if your half hearted about it.

yeah i am hoping one day i can stop smoking, as long as i'm at work i dont smoke too much.
