    yeah ive wanted to quit for awhile, but i always was so stressed ay my previous job that i smoked all the time.

    I finally got to the point where it just didnt taste good anymore, i was always thirsty, no one else at BG smokes either.

    I just didnt like it anymore, so i quit.

    So far so good..........

    me too... i haven't smoked a cig in 13 days (well i think i slipped up a few times, but its much better than 1 pack a day) -- a hit here a hit there, from friends.... but yeah haven't even done that for a week... and not even having craving anymore.

    lol hookah helps tho (non tobacco of course, just the feeling of smoke passing thru helps every once in a while)


    GET NICORETTE 4MG... i got that it helps immensely.. get the habit out, the psychological addiction out.. so u dont get up after every meal, or anything and step out to smoke... like your habit tells you to...

    And then just fade out the gum and you're good.

    Man if youve already quit cold turkey dont get the nicorette, it will just reintroduce nicotine into your system!

    Congrats man. The couging usually goes a way within a few days. My buddy quit when it went into basic and after a bit he had the coughin thing. Turns out for him though it was just that his lungs went into shock. You should be fine in a few days though. I'm gonna quit here soon.

    haha i havent smoked in a month, the coughing is just your lungs repairing their self or something cant remember what i was told. not much you can do but wait for the cough to end. i used chantix for the first week and a half or so then i went from their without it. they expected me to use it 3 months, but it started causing aching pain in me chest/neck/jaw/ear. if it wasnt for that ide still be taking it cause the dreams are cool as hell. someone i work with told me he stopped taking it for 2 days, but the people made him start again and said after 2 days of not taking it and then jumping back on the 1mg pill he made him feel high. he told me to try it, havent yet, but i have like 5 weeks worth of that stuff.....haha, and ive gained 10 pounds since i quit

    im at 10 months.... just dont think about cigs and when people do smoke just stay away cause it helps cravings from coming.....also "let that smell" bother you. Just some suggestions that have kept me going.

    yeah, i noticed they smell can make you sick feeling or bother you. but then there are some times where it smell so good but it doesnt make me want to go smoke, just smells good.

    its probably been said, but that cough is just gettin the **** outta your lungs

    just take some mucinex and it will help

    that is honestly your only help

    the mucinex will make your coughs more productive, but you want to cough that **** out.

    btw.... i work in a pharmacy


    good luck at quitting man, good job


    if you need help talk to you doctor, chatix works like a charm

    although it is $115/month for 4 moths

    but hell that beats smoking a pack a day

    Did you take Chantix or anything? I'm on it seems to be working pretty well, 1 week in and gone from over a pack a day for 6 years to only 4 today. Saturday is my set quit date.
