I've Decided To Quit Smoking

[uberam3rica]

And by that I mean cigarettes. I'm quitting cigarettes today. I'll still enjoy pipes, and cigars

Good choice!!

 

[uberam3rica]

Good choice!!

They just aren't worth it. They don't taste good, and aren't healthy at all

How I quit, cold turkey; everytime you have a craving, read a random page on wikipedia. Get smart, AND healthy.
It works well because cravings bail when you ignore them. You could substitute reading wikipedia for any other activity that would hog your brain for long enough to forget about that cigarette you're after.

I found that having "intimate time" with your signifigant other does NOT help fight off cravings
Just an FYI

How I stopped smoking cigarettes in '71. Most people that go 'Cold Turkey' buy that last pack, and say, this is it! They smoke them and really pull on that last one.

I got my last pack of Lucky Strikes, smoked 15 of them and threw the last 5 away. At .23 cents a pack, throwing away 25% of them really pissed me off! I never smoked one again......

Cut the rope on that lung anchor and let it drop away. Then keep yourself steady on the ol' burning pipe river and never look back.

Good call Uber. I gave em up 20 years ago. Stay strong and in time you'll find the pipe is all you need.

Good move Uber! :clap:

 

[baronsamedi]

Yeah your lungs will thank you.

 

[philip]

Yeah your lungs will thank you.

And your wallet will thank you. Good decision, Uber.

Good choice, and good luck! I've been off the nails for over 2 weeks now, and the first 3-4 days is the hardest. Once you get past the first few days, it gets much easier.

 

[logandow]

Good choice and good luck. We believe in you!

 

[pipeguy93]

Good to hear, you can do it!

Good for you! I've never smoke cigarettes and wondered what was the attraction. I guess if you've never smoked a good tobacco blend, you don't have any perspective. Is not inhaling an issue or something you miss? (I assume you don't inhale the pipe smoke)
