I've been smoking a pack to a pack and a half of reds a day, just put out my last cigarette. Hopefully things'll go well, I'm already stressing out just at the idea of quitting but I know it'll be worth it. Got rid of all the ashtrays in my room & everything else that might give me cravings.
Has anybody else quit cigarettes before? Any useful advice from you fellow facepunchers?

No matter how much you crave it, DON'T GO BACK.
Every time you try to quit, it just gets harder, so just try not to smoke ever again.
Best of luck to you!
Find a really fun game and play it all the time.
Fap when you feel like you need a cig.
I'm just thinking I'll smoke a bowl every time I crave a cig. I'm afraid it's just going to make me want to smoke cigs more though, because it's usually my tradition to smoke a cig after I smoke a bowl. Oh well.
Have someone ration you cigarettes untill you're weaned off them, no need to go cold turkey.
If you are 18 you may want to look into Chantix. My dad is using it to quit smoking. He smoked over 2 packs a day.

Dude that's amazing advice.
Just cut yourself back. I recently quit no problems doing this after smoking for 2 years.
If you smoke 5 cigarettes today, smoke only 4 tomorrow. The next day smoke 3. Space the smokes out through the day, wait as long as you can without having one. Keep going till you're down to 1 cigarette a day and you're smoking it before you get ready for bed at night. Now cut that smoke out and finish your pack. Don't buy another one!
Get and eCig
I need to quit smoking soon, and I am thinking about getting a eCig thing some one I know had one and it seems to be pretty good.
Well I smoke about 5-8 rollies a day.
And I don't even like smoking.
But related to my previous post, it's true that nicotine kills your need for fapping and fucking, so I figured it had to work the other way around, and it DID. The gaming part is for distracting yourself because you smoke far more when bored.
Too bad I ain't got my stationary though..
No gaming for me =(
Just do a straight swap with weed.
Buy 420 grams every month, then you can smoke 30 0.5g joints a day. =3
Pretend you have diabetes, and pretend the cigarettes are huge sugar candies and you can't eat them or else you'll die of a heart attack. And think of marijuana as your daily meds for your diabetes.

The half life of Nicotine is something like 5 minutes so tapering is not really very appropriate. Cold turkey is definitely the best way to go about giving up cigs.
I quit cold turkey after smoking for 3 years but started up again a year later. I want to quit again, but I need to motivate myself to do it.
I'm a smoker and I'm only 15. Today I realised it's stupid because while I'm smoking I usaully just feel like shit. I realised I used to be a pretty good athlete and I still wanna be an athlete so I took my pack, ripped 'em apart and tossed 'em. I'm gonna try my best to keep away from them and ignore that little voice in my head telling me another, so hopefully it works!
Get a pack of cigarettes. Remove the tobacco from all of them and dispose of it. Remove the filters and replace them with rolled-up cardboard or something. Pack them all with weed. Smoke one whenever you feel a craving. After doing this for a while, you will no longer associate cigarettes with nicotine cravings.
Please keep in mind that I am not a psychologist and I have not tested this theory at all.

How does a 15-year-old even get cigarettes?
The same way a 15 year old gets weed, alcohol, ecstasy...
I never really craved for cigarettes, cigars on the hand...

2 hours is nicotene's half life. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotene[/url]
Interesting... I was sure it left the blood so quickly that people require cigs a lot to wade off withdrawals. Perhaps the period in which Nicotine is active is 5 minutes. I was sure it was something like that.
Ok, well I'm failing pretty hard at quitting. I'm gonna start rolling my own to make my habit cheaper.

Dude, there's nothing particularly wrong with rollies.
I'm thinking about rolling and buying all premium high quality materials, maybe even flavoring some. Anyone have experience with this?

Whenever I've rolled, I've tried different things sometimes. Coffee grounds are pretty awesome. Also, cloves.
I don't see why people want to quit.
I smoke and i don't want to quit if it kills me it kills me you know.
It's my fuck up if it does.
But anyway best of luck to you man i hope it all goes good.
People want to quit because of what you said. It kills them. In a pretty horrid way no less. People in this thread want encouraging statements. Not laissez faire attitudes.
I have been smoking for a while now, nearly two years I think, and I have no idea why anyone would want to smoke I mean sure I do enjoy smoking sometimes but mostly its shit a waste of money and so bad for you. Also with no smoking laws you have to go outside, when it is pissing it down its a real bastard to have to go sit outside.
