Been a week

[gatorgar]

Since I last smoked a cigarette. Last Sunday, at about this time, I finished my box of Malboro Lights and went to bed. Monday I woke up with major chest congestion and irritated throat. Felt that way for 2.5 Days and never even thought about lighting up.
Friday I bought a new pack it off habit while filling up my truck. Decided what the heck and lot one up. 2 puffs later, I was gagging and killed it. Gave the test of the pack to a neighbor and have been totally free since.

I should add that a month ago I bought a vaporizer and accessories (about $100 worth) and had been hitting it pretty regular to help kick the habit. Last week I didn't even turn it on and have only taken 8 puffs this weekend.

I hope I am finally able to quit for good. I've tried patches and pills to no avail. I have gone cold Turkey before and went a couple months, but craved a cig every day. This time, there is no real craving. I haven't resorted to eating to speed the habit, but I have been having a harder time sleeping at night.
Wish me luck in finally kicking the habit, saving some money and all the good stuff that comes with it.

I will still spark up a good cigar with a good whiskey on occasion though, that is one pleasure I will not debt myself. I know, I'm weak, lol

I've been smoke free since May 20,2006 and all cuz of a tv commerical that said for every cirgerette you smoke is 8 hrs of you seeing ur kids grow up.....havent smoke since

Good luck in kicking that habit!

4 months free here... stay strong... sometimes the urge will hit ya when you least expect it... still does for me. Even now at times

[AlaskaFlyerFan]

28 yrs here. Can't stand the smell of any tobacco. Makes me sick. Stay strong, chew some gum, eat sunflower seeds, whatever it takes!

Good luck Alex! You will benefit in many ways if you can kick this!

Good luck. If all smokers knew how nasty they smell to non-smokers, that may convince some to quit.

Hope you can stay strong and whip the habit.

Good luck man, I've tried giving up snuff a couple of times without much success.
Hang in there.

Congrats and good luck

Good luck. I have never been a smoker but I dipped Copenhagen for about 18 years. I quit 4.5 years ago and never looked back. I was dipping a can every other day.

[BallisticFirst]

Great start. Stay determined.

[crowmagnum]

On 5/17 will be 2 months for me.

I chewed two cans of copenhagen a day for right at 20 years. I make one year tobacco free on the 24th of this month. There is not a day goes by that I don't want a chew, but a reminder of the reasons I quit is usually sufficient to keep me in check.

I hope that you have great success!
