Anyone Else Trying to Quit?

I smoked and used snuff for 17 years. I have been tobacco free for almost 6 months now. Probably one of the hardest things I have ever done. The hardest part is all the triggers when you smoked by habit. Check out this site...very helpful and true. No such thing as patches or gradual quitting...gotta do it cold turkey.

This is my third time quitting, but it's going pretty well. I did have a couple last week caused by higher than normal stress but otherwise I haven't really smoked in over a month.
I did find that the gum worked pretty well and I only needed to use it for about 2 weeks.
Good luck to you.

Trying to quit. I quit for 8 months 2 years ago but picked it back up from being around my room mate at the time who was a chain smoker. I know I can do it, it's just a matter of actually getting it done. Drinking doesn't help.

I tried to quit earlier this year and did so for a couple weeks. It was really hard because OCBF wasn't quitting too and having a smoker around when you are trying to quit.......well.....unpossible. It actually became really difficult when my sense of smell came back strong because I was suddenly noticing his clothes stank. Not his fault of course but it was difficult to kiss him right after he had smoked, that sort of thing. Also, smelling the smoke made me want one really bad. I tried to smoke sort of only sometimes, but I ended up smoking again regularly. Funny thing is, I don't smoke during the day. That's left over from quitting. I have one in the morning with my coffee around 7 am and then I dont smoke again till I get off work after 4 pm. No jitters, no thinking about smoking, nothing.

I SHOULD be able to just stop it seems like.



I have plans to try again as a New Years resolution. Gonna use some gum I think but mostly cold turkey. I don't know what to do about the smell issue that I know will come up however.

I had been smoking for about 40 years, always said I would quit but didn't.
Two years ago January after my second stent job and trying to "taper off" I was down to about 4 cigs a day and then stopped so I could climb up at the shoe, after that game I restarted and then had that attack in Jan, and then during cardiac rehab I suffered my first attack from COPD, (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) a terminal illness which lasts 2 days or 20 years, as long as it does.
That got my attention and I have not smoked since. I cannot walk fast, or upstairs, or exert myself very much before I am gasping like a fish out of water.
I know as a used to be smoker that it doesn't do any good to tell any of you that you should quit because I went thru that myself.
And I always say that there is no definitive proof that smoking causes any illness but I am here to tell you boys and girls that you DO NOT want what I have.
