I want to quit smoking, anyone that knows how hard this is or know someone that has done it or done it themselves, please give me some tips. I have tried a few times before but haven't had much success. I think the main problem is actually having something to do with my hands. From what I have heard and I am not sure if this is right, but I have heard that nicotine only takes a few days to get out of your system. Please, if you have any suggestions, let me know. Thanks!

I think I would have to stop completely because if I don't then I will think, oh well, I might as well just have another one and it will keep going. I will keep this in mind though and if I need to, I can try it this way. I don't know if I could trust myself to do it this way though. Thanks!

If there's a will there's a way. I was consuming two packs a day. One day I tried not to smoke. And that's it. Im now a smoke-free man.

I hope I can be strong as you and do it too, I don't smoke as much as what you were. How long has it been since you quit? Thanks!

How about tomorrow? I am going to make sure the packet I have is finished tonight and that's it, well hopefully anyway. Hopefully we will both be able to do it.
