    It all started in high school, I have friends who smoke and trying to convince them to stop but never succeeded so I decided to try it to know why they like it.
    And after a week I stop, snoking is really not my thing. That's simple :D

    I smoked a pack a day for 12 years. I quit on 2/14/05 with the aid of nicotine patches. I actually found quitting quite easy as long as I remembered to put the patch on in the morning before I left for work. I forgot a couple days and those days were hell. I don't really get the urge to smoke any more, every now and then when I am drinking the thought will cross my mind but it's easy to squash. One added bonus of using the nicotine patch is you get some crazy ass dreams if you sleep with them on.

    Is your avatar picture taken while you were sleeping with them? :D Me also didn't think it was this easy. Well it is easy as long as you really want to quit. If you don't, it turns into hell and you always think of it :( I'm now sure that I won't smoke for at least 6 months. Starting smoking was the worst thing i did to myself but this will be the best i guess.

    Just whipped it up. Got a lot more to put on it, but the general concept is going to be "you don't need all the products they try to sell you - you just need will power"

    Keep on quitting folks!!

    There is no way I could have quit with just will power. I tried several times just quitting cold turkey and always met with failure.

    Go right ahead.

    Of course it is possible to quit cold turkey, but I'd be willing to bet if I didn't use an aid I would be smoking today.

    You are also getting ads on your site for just about every way to quit smoking other than willpower.

    I knew that was going to happen from the start.

    Reverse psychology ya see. Tell people they just need willpower, they don't believe you, they click on an ad, i get rich.

    ....maybe not!

    Smoke the green stuff instead, it will help get rid of the cravings :D jokes

    Nah but seriously, exercise more, drink more coffee, or whatever, to get your mind off it.
