I gave up smoking recently.
I just thought, if I'm told that giving up is difficult, then I'm going to find it difficult, so I just kept telling myself how easy it is to quit, and I stopped there and then. I don't even crave one at all, although I have the occasional toke every few days if a friend offers me a toke, but it's literally just a toke.

I was smoking cigs for about 10 years. I (thanks to the good ol herb) have quit cigs for a lil over a year now. I have never felt better. At first I stoped buying cigs and just bumbed from others. That really helped me slow down alot,Each time I had the urge I would just smoke a joint or hit a bowl, then after 2 months of this I didn't like the taste or smell, it made me sick. I never thought i'de quit but here I am over a year later with not one single puff...IT WASN'T EASY! It took a lot of bud,haha.
peace and good luck to the quitters (You can do it)

Been off cigs for a few weeks and wanted to bring up something to keep in mind. Cannabis, even for people that haven't smoked before, has immediate benefits/effects. A cigarette, first time you smoke one, doesn't do much to you besides act as a stimulant... it's only once you're ADDICED TO NICOTINE that you feel good when you smoke. So, by giving up cigarettes you're not depriving yourself of anything: the pleasure that you gain from smoking has nothing to do specifically with tobacco, but everything to do with your addiction. You're not leaving much behind when you kick cigarettes...
Just want to update, it's been 6 months yesterday since I gave up cigarettes, after 10+ years of smoking.

stop being such a fucking baby!

well i haven't read a lick of this thread but i just wanted to say it can be done.
was my third of fourth try. i used the patch and smoked a bunch of joints. it worked for me. my smoker friends hate me now because i'm always preaching about quitting. i say it over and over, QUITTING SMOKING WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID FOR MYSELF.
lately i've been a bit depressed and have only thought about smoking. i know i won't because it was a huge commitment to get here and lots of people are proud of me.
each day since i quit, i've thought about it less and less. it's not really a struggle anymore. the addiction is always there though.
good luck to all those quitting. just make it through today. you'll be glad you did.

quiting smoking cigarettes for most people is very very tough
i smoked non-stop from when i was 13 to 24...so that is 11 years straight
when at 24 i started having problems with being able to take a full breath of air.....i understood the time has come for me to quit
to make a long story short....i quit smoking tobacco....quit drinking alcohol.....and stopped smoking weed.
the only thing i did not stop is overreating....and for about 12 years i had some problems with being overweight...about 15 pounds more than i should have been
currently i have 8% body fat....and have quit overreating also
so my only regular habit...besides writing stupid posts...is coffee
last summer i decided to start smoking cannabis once in a while...after my trip to holland and after sampling some of the better strains in the coffeeshops there
weed i smoke once a week....mostly on sundays...when i take a day off from everything and everyone...with total solitude......just my laptop and this
quiting tobacco for good is very simple but you have to be really be prepared to suffer.....it is very simple....but very hard to do.....and i am sure everyone knows the distinction between simple and hard
you have to suffer through the uncomfortable feelings when you quit....but whatever you feel simply never smoke tobacco anymore....sounds simple....but very few can actually do that
you have to become a non-smoker (tobacco wise) and just never under any circumstances touch it again
the best specialists.....all agree....going cold turkey is most effective...and once you get over those painful feeling of nicotine addiction...eventually the neurological link in your mind will decipate (fall apart) and it will become better and better....and with time you might even develop a disgusting feeling toward tobacco
i have...and can't imagine smoking.....and the same is toward alcohol...but mostly because it seems to make me stupider than i am when i am straight
after not smoking for so long.....at this time i can't even imagine smoking tobacco....its disgust me.....and remembering how i suffered after quiting makes me a total non-smoker....because i never want to feel those horrible feelings again
plus...after you smoke a cigarette....you don't feel anything pleasant(for example like with the high from cannabis)...only have a nasty taste in your mouth...and it takes off that awful addictive feeling...where all you can think about is smoking tobacco asap
now smoking weed is very different indeed...after smoking...there is no desire to smoke....sometimes i don't smoke a few weeks....but the reason i do smoke weed is i love how it makes me feel
but switching to smoking cannabis instead of cigarettes is also not the way to go.....since an addiction has negative consenquences no matter what it is
at this time i smoke cannabis...because i love the high it gives me.....and if it starts having negative consenquences i will quit smoking weed also
but so far so good...lmao

damn i guess no one wants to quit....lol
I finally quit for good last year itll be a full year in about 10 days. It takes alot of willpower but fortunately i started a new job and no one i was working with smoked so i took the opportunity to quit and free myself from the addiction. Not having anyone around me who smoked made it easier than I thought it could be. I may not have been able to do it otherwise.
