How did you quit smoking? (Discussion Thread) - General

...So, how did you quit your habit Facepunch? (The tag says drugs, because nicotine is a drug.)

I didn't :smith: Well actually I did, I quit cold turkey out of nowhere but then started again when the reasons that I quit ceased to exist.

I went to Fast Threads.

Seriously though, I quit by not starting in the first place. It's the best way. :smug: [editline]22nd November 2010[/editline] you damn moose

[QUOTE=Stizzles;26222115]I went to Fast Threads.[/QUOTE] I would have posted it there, but I see the possibility as a discussion thread. Discussion threads go under General Discussion. :frog: [editline]22nd November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Stizzles;26222123]Seriously though, I quit by not starting in the first place.

Not smoking in the first place

[QUOTE=Werem00se;26222122]Someone asked you to quit, then they left your life?[/QUOTE] Yep. Are you trying to quit by any chance or is this just random discussion?

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;26222147]Not smoking in the first place[/QUOTE] This is the best idea... Kids! If this is the only time to take facepunches terrible advice, Take it now! Dont smoke and drive!

I quit the moment I realised smoking didn't give me any pleasure at all Seriously it tastes nasty and I didn't feel any urge to smoke again after I had done so

[QUOTE=Wyvers;26222156]Yep. Are you trying to quit by any chance or is this just random discussion?[/QUOTE] A bit of both really. I need to stop and it's just a good topic to talk about for others who need help. And you just shouldn't smoke. Least not cigarettes.

Dont smoke and drive![/QUOTE] But drinking and driving is still okay right?

I just stopped. Didn't want tobacco anymore.

I stopped smoking and started drinking.

I never started :smug:.

Fair enough, I suggest cutting down slowly to nothing instead of going cold turkey, unless you accept the first couple of days to a week might be a living hell.

[QUOTE=Wyvers;26222206]Fair enough, I suggest cutting down slowly to nothing instead of going cold turkey, unless you accept the first couple of days to a week might be a living hell.[/QUOTE] I've been cutting down for about a month. Not religiously though. But for the most part I now smoke about 4-6 a day. I can make two packs last me seven days or so. But I just want to quit. In some states the government provides help to quit smoking, but they don't in Georgia. [img]http://blog.mattalgren.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/knowing-is-half-the-battle.jpg[/img]

started using snus instead.

[QUOTE=Cuel;26222281]started using snus instead.[/QUOTE] Dip is bad. Rednecks dip.

[QUOTE=Theman!;26222308]I just went cold turkey, I was smoking about maybe ten or slightly more a day, then just threw them in the bin one day. Although, a few months on and I am back to smoking unfortunately.[/QUOTE] Ick. I'm learning cold turkey is NOT the way to go. Best of luck to you in the future.

I didn't start.

[QUOTE=Euphe;26222377]I didn't start.[/QUOTE] I get that a lot of people are posting that, why? Is it funny or something?

They seem to think it is. I don't know why, it doesn't make sense and we've heard it hundreds of times before.

[QUOTE=Wyvers;26222440]They seem to think it is. I don't know why, it doesn't make sense and we've heard it hundreds of times before.[/QUOTE] Yeah. I can understand saying [quote]I didn't start[/quote] if you are going to add something after that.

With willpower. If you don't have willpower then tough luck bro. Alternatively just have yourself get nicotine poisoning, after that you won't have any needs to smoke.

i smoked weed because when im high i HATE smoking cigarettes; it feels disgusting and gross so i just smoked a lot, no withdraw or anything

[QUOTE=Dunpeal;26222535]With willpower. If you don't have willpower then tough luck bro.

Bad idea, but how many would you have to smoke to get that?

Buy heroin instead of cigarettes. its a rush man

I never smoked

I wanted to outlive my enemies All the motivation I needed

i was up to about 40 a day once, and this girl i liked hated smoking, so i stopped completely after i found out she liked me
