I quit tobacco in 1976 on my 20th B'Day..

Had withdrawals for 2 mths!

Actually smoked spliffs instead to quit,and it worked!LoLoLoLo

Good luck!

Kevin, quitting smoking is tough. Keep your focus and remember WHY you're quitting. Smoking is an addiction, so I suggest you find something to replace it with, I suggest cleaning drums....

Also realize that it's a game between your brain and your willpower. Your brain impulse to smoke will diminish after the nicotine addiction and intake is gone. Will power keeps you going until the nicotine withdrawal is over.

I quit for the last time, over 3 1/2 years ago. My buddy's wife dropped dead at 44 of a heart attack, 2 pack a day smoker and then some. That pretty much made me understand what the effects of smoking can have. I had quit over 10 years ago for a few years after seeing my good friend's dad (my ex-boss) die of lung cancer, but someone close to my age really did it for me.

I wish you the best, keep your focus and fight the good fight.

Hey Kev, I kow you can do it! Remember, move in the positive, you're not trying to quit or your quitting, but you quit!

Man, are you getting some good and realistic advice! The cravings come in waves, Kevin. Very strong at first. It's an act of will as you have been told. Fight the good fight as each wave hits and washes over you. The good news is, over time, as the days and weeks go by, the craving attacks are fewer in number and as you learn to fight them off, they are much less intense as well.

One day you'll wake up nicotine and craving free and healthier than you've been in years. Get ready for oxygen highs!

Good luck buddy. I know you can do this.

Right on, Kev!

I chewed Copenhagen and smoked Marlboros for decades. Then, I decided to just quit. I got angry at myself for being such a weak-willed person, so I went to war with my nicotine addiction and beat it. The smoking part wasn't bad. The chewing part was really hard, though.

I honestly can't believe that nicotine isn't considered as a schedule 1 drug. It's terrible and it's a rough addiction to break.

Congratulations on your decision. You can do it.

Fight the good fight. You know the enemy. Strength is from within. He is there for you even in the dark moments of battle. Be strong and be the one.

one day 22 years ago i just threw away the pack i was smoking and have not looked back its such a nasty habit once you start smelling fresh cloths ,fresh air , clean home you wont go back it over powers clean and fresh verse dirty ashtray, its a win win situation then you notice second hand smoke it seems to follow me every where i go my buddy still smokes coffin nails i keep telling him go down wind geez i cant believe how it stinks so bad now , although i like a good cigar now and again what can i say good luck Kev

I smoked 40 years tried to quit 100 times but my heart was never in it one day 7 years ago my youngest daughter said to me "dad I want you to be here when my son grows up I want you to teach him how to play drums and about music "that was it for me i quit and have never looked back in fact i can not stand being around smokers today and wonder why i ever had such a disgusting habit, I feel better i run now food tastes better ,my wife kisses me 100% more and that is a good thing ...... find something that means something to you and focus on that quit and stay quit you will never regret it all the very best and if you feel like cheating call me .... we will talk about it you have alot of life left live it brother... good luck great decision...
