Well here goes my next attempt at kicking the habit. I feel this time I will succeed as I have a few incentives to help me along. I have tried many times over the years with varied levels of success. I even quit quitting a few times.
It is something that my fav SP and I have talked about in great detail. She too has been wanting to quit, so we made a buddy system plan.
We both put out our last cigarette yesterday and today we put on the patch. In order to make this plan of quitting desirable, we decided to reward each other for our effort and success.
We are putting our daily cig money into a kitty for the duration of the 10 week patch program. At the end we should have close to 1500 in the kitty....1 pack a day @ 10 bucks/ pack/ person
If either of us smokes, we lose immediately and the Canadian Cancer Society gets the money. If both of us succeed, we are going to donate the money to the CCS and I will treat us to a really great weekend away.
Wish us luck fellas! Even with the patch I think we will need it.
If anyone has any suggestions to help us along, it will be forever helpful.
 
Good luck!
 
Thats good.

I have never smoked and never had a thought to. Was wondering why people start in the first place. Probably a dumb question but I honestly don't understand why people wanna smoke.

My understanding is that around 30% of North Americans smoke.

thanks

I started like many start....at a young age...because all my friends were. Peer pressure. Once you start young it takes a while to learn the repercussions and by then its very hard to quit. Today there are many aids to assist in quitting and the public view is much different on it now. When I started there were ads on tv, billboards and magazines promoting smoking.
Thanks for all your help here and in PM. I really appreciate it and will keep you all posted on our progress!

Thank you very much Diana
 
I used to be a pretty avid smoker, maybe a pack every 2 to 3 days. I believe there was a whole incident on terb with a thread about my smoking, LOL.....anyways, since i've moved back home (a month) i've basically quit. I didn't even mean to, hehe....I guess once it became inconvenient to smoke comfortably, i just basically stopped. Since i can't smoke in the house and eventhough my parents know i smoke, i have too much respect to smoke infront of them, so i didn't smoke outside either. Now i only smoke socially, perhaps when i'm out with friends drinking and that only happens maybe once a week. I go days with out even one!!! It's really crazy how it just happened out of no where. I have to admit though that sometimes i'm just in the worst irritable mood and i'm like what the hell is my problem? i'm not even pms'ing, lol then i remember that i'm actually in the process of quitting smoking, hehe.....

Good luck to you guys and kodus for giving to charity :-)

Well it is easy for a girl to quite smoking tobacco Just switch to smoking Pole!
 
Well....the first day smoke free was absolute HELL.....but I got through it and also the second day. My jaw hurts from chewing gum. ( Not nicorettes because Im on the patch.)
I picked up the book Diana mentioned and find it helps. The other thing really helping now is... when I feel I cant get past the craving I google cancerous lung images. That does it for me! I am walking a couple times a day and trying not to eat anymore than I normally do.
 
Good Luck

I went from 2 packs to zero in one hypnosis session and 2 years later I am still off cigarettes. I have one piece of advice, just change your regular habits. If you have a smoke with your coffee then change to tea. It's all about habits.
