It may take a couple of tries but you can stop smoking cigs. i managed to stop with the help of the flu virus last year on Christmas eve. I got sick as hell and didn't smoke for three days and when i lit a cig up after three days it tasted like hell and i put it out after on puff. That was the last cig that i puffed on. I am closing in on one year and my life has changed considerably. My sense of smell and taste have multiplied extremely. I don't miss the morning coughing and the bad taste in my mouth. I did manage to put on twenty pounds at first but have lost them and fealing great. thanks BOG for this thread it was great to read when i was having a hard time and thinking about a cig.

Finn started smoking -94 at age of fifteen. you know, every kid at school smoked and if you didn't you were sissy
i also started snuffing (tobacco, not that other shit ) in -95, smelled like donkeyshit but taste was awesome
i quit smoking in may and ran out of snuff in july 20th (they don't sell snuff in here, you have to buy it from sweden).
tobacco didn't give me any broplem but snuff caused me some sweating and short temper for two, three weeks.
also it did some damage to my teeth (it has sugar and salt in it)
for now theres been huge improvement in 'smelling stuff' and in 'nightvision', although that improvement could have something to do with that i've been smoking a lot of green stuff since quitting

Its been a couple o days again now, no cigs at all since my last post, i dony have a problem, im just soo mad at myself for allowing myself to smoke, i am truly pissed at myself. but thats the nature of addiction, and i understand that very well, so i fell down, and now ive stood up, brushed the dirt from my clothes and started again. There is a big government funded ad campaign running on TV in britain, has been for a few years now, and the popular slogan is "Dont give up, giving up!" and i think thats the key, not to i remember my uncle sying he was gonna quit, and he always did for a couple of weeks, but one day out of the blue, he would always end up back on the fags, and after a good few attempts he said one of the saddest things ive ever heard he said " Ive tried to stop smpkin and failed so many times, that now i think im always gonna smoke, so i might as well just get on with it" i suppose thats a quite common theme amongst smokers, and exactly what that slogan is fighting, well im not giving up on giving up.
smoking sucks! i have been smoking for 20 years and am sick of it, i dislike everything about it. have i quit? no. i went to a hypnotist and quit for 3 days. i did not get grouchy or irratable, i became very tired and spaced out. it was weird. i have also been surfing for 23 years (go figure) i have quit drinking and many other things but the cigs have still got me. i just talked to some one who went to a one on one hypnotist and quit, has anyone tried this or looked into this? smoking is fucking up my life at this point, i must stop. all of your success stories are very inspirational, congradulations to you all!!!!

IN my VERY humble opinion..
IN my VERY humble opinion..
well Bonzo.. personally, I take it day by day.. i don't know, but i kinda think of it as a perpetual success story.. Everyday that i do not smoke a cig it is a success for me.. i can't say that i don't have urges to smoke, i do, and that is why am so proud everyday.. because I win over that ciggarette multiple times a day.. it is defantly a mental thing.. but you can do it.. IF you want it bad enough.... Now I have never been hypnotized, can't say that i really ever want to.. to give someone else power over my brain, hEll no.. I have power over MY brain.. I have had no cig for a few days over a month now.. and I think about the reasons that I am quitting and they keep me going.. I want to live a long healthy life for the people i love, and for myself..
but I guess if you think getting hypnotized will help You quit, by all means man DO IT.. anything to quit, but don't quit trying to quit...
ok.. that is my 2 cents for what ever they are worth with todays inflation..

Day 18! Still smoke free. Have started to enjoy my cannabis with my newly aquired vaporizer however, and I must say, the results are excellent.

A while back, I quit smoking cigs. All I did was quit cold turkey, used the nicotine patches (for 3-4 days only) and every time I had an urge to smoke a cigarette I would take a couple hits of Marijuana and the urge would go away. I can say from first hand experience that Marijuana can help with quitting cigarettes more than most people know. I know some people say that after they smoke Marijuana they have the urge to smoke a cigarette so I guess this method wouldn't be effective for everyone, but I'm sure it will work for the majority of us. Unfortunately, I only quit for a couple months and then I ended up going to the bar with a friend who smokes cigarettes. I figured I could smoke a couple while drinking without starting up the regular habit again. I was dead wrong. Later that night I ended up buying my own pack and here I am smoking again. I really need to quit again as I am only 24 years old and have been smoking for 11 years. I only wish that I never started. I don't even see why tobacco is legal. It kills more people than all drugs and alchohol combined. I'm beginning to think that our government allows things to help control population. Think about it... They know around how many people every year will die from smoking cigs, drunk driving, AIDS, Cancer, Etc... Why would they want to make tobacco illegal? Why would they make alchohol illegal? Why would they release a cure for AIDS or Cancer? If they did, this country would be overpopulated more than it already is. I don't know, this might sound crazy to some of you but I am really beginning to see the truth of this "system". It makes me sick.

I am so proud to have started this thread but prouder of all of you who have even attempted to quit. My offer will never end. I may run out of Lifesaver but if I have seeds I will keep my solemn promise because all promises are solumn. A man is only as good as his word so when you have completed 3 months tobacco free you can pm me for seeds. For those overseas I ask that they visit one of Gypsys shops for them if possible. But just pm me and we will get them to you.
Did you all know that if you start up again it is the length of time you smoke before quitting again that determines how difficult it will be? Once quit a relapse is a lot easier to deal with than years of habit and addiction. You may get drunk and fall back but remember to keep the patches on hand and use marijuana as a substitute when needed.
Everyone's experience and advise here is as valuable as mine and maybe my life was spared so that I could save more lives. After all my career was that of Paramedic before my heart problems. I saved a few lives then but perhaps this is my real purpose in life. This seems more important than selling seeds. BOG
I love you all so much for helping us...
I will give you a tip..."when you die you will reach enlightenment".

So I have a Question?
So I have a Question?
If Gypsy and I do what we can to help free people from tobacco what will you do. First you quit but why haven't more people made the effort to make stop smoking clinics free and why not subsidize the cost of patches? We help the heroin addicts and their addiction is illegal. Why don't more agencies and people do more to promote quitting tobacco?
If Gypsy and I can do it then perhaps you can too. Spread the Love always...
Thank You Gypsy for helping me do this... BOG

X Smoker about 2 1/2 yrs now. Fuck I started again last week, I was at court and this stressed me out big time.... Should I have gotten waisted before going? I smoked a total of 3 tipped cigarettes that day and felt the next day like my chest was going to erupt
See the thing is with nicoteine addiction is it's there for life. It's embedded in your brain, your addictions. I can only do what Bog has suggested and I have quit once more. My guilt trip should have been enough stimulation too stop this most horrid addiction. I still smoke my weed in the evening with tobbacco though this is a small amount I am sure it does not help my addiction.

I slowly started to quit almost 3 weeks ago, and I am officially quitting as of today. Told myself this was going to be my last carton, and just smoked my last pack. I really sucked down that last smoke, knowing it was going to be my last. BOG, I've read your story several times, and knowing and hearing the consequences from a real survivor does help. I am only 23, and smoked for about 6 years, and i got to where i was smoking about a pack a day, slowly backing off these past few weeks. Hopefully your offer will still stand in about three months, for that is somewhat motivating for me. I also have a son, he's only 3, but i dont want my shortness of breath to interfere with playtime with him as he gets older, I definitely want to be out playing football, basketball, baseball, and whatever with him as he grows, and as a smoker it is very hard to play one game of b-ball, imagine how much worse it could be in 5, 10, or 15 years? If any others out there have young children, hopefully you have thought of this also, how many of you want to be on the sidelines instead of in the game? For me it is very important to be able to play sports as if I am 17.
