Yes,we do agree.You have quit before applying the patches.All fine:)
I meant people who still smoke and even then use patches dreamwise.
Good luck:)
It sure aint healthy even in a peace pipe. But i think the dangers of smoking these days are severely overrated. It is definitely a very harmful addiction if you smoke everyday like most people do these days. One of the things that is most hyped up these days are passive smoking, which is mostly just bullshit propaganda from anti smokers. 
They go as far as saying it is harmful to stand next to someone who smokes outside in the free! I feel sorry for the people who actually believe that crap.
Well seeing as it takes a long time for you to actual feel physical withdrawl symptoms if you dont have a ciggarette, it seems pretty pointless he isnt accomplishing anything except gettin paid off his book.
I smoke and I wish you luck on trying to quit. I have been toying with the idea lately basically because I feel I am becoming more and more dependant. But I really enjoy a nice ciggarette every now and then, I dont smoke that ■■■■ out of packs but I roll my own with premium tobacco. Those government issued cancer sticks taste like crap and they are worse for you. The tobacco I smoke isnt harmless but it isnt as bad.
If your refering to the tobacco that the native Americans would have been smoking, it actually isnt that bad. Its not healthy because no smoke in your lungs is healthy, but its not carcinogenic. All the really bad health problems are caused by all the fertilizers, pesticides and man made chemicals that go into ciggarettes. Thats what causes cancer.
I was wondering how you were doing with your quest DayLight? How are your efforts paying off? Are you in need of some more support?
I really hope all is going well for you and everyone else that has quit. I’m now bugging my sister, trying to get her to stop smoking cigarettes. We talk a lot and when she’s had a cigarette and talks, even if she’s chewing gum, her breath is unpleasant. Her hair and clothes smell and I realize now that it must have been the same for me.
Kudos for all the quitters, in this case.
I’ve started somking again. Not as much as before, and I’m going to take another stab at it very soon.
Well, I’m glad you are not smoking as much as you did before and I wish you luck on your next attempt.
You should move to the states. Tobacco is illegal here for anyone under 18. Maybe a run in with the law would help you quit plus no one would sell to you. Well, hope you quit soon.
F*** F*** F***!!! I’ve F******** Started again! It’s BS!!! It makes me so mad. After 2 months of cold turkey I lit one up and I’m hooked again! 
I don’t know what to do. I’ve smoked a pack in 2 days already!
Redifin, don’t give up. It just seems that you need more help than just going cold turkey.
What else can you try?
Ok, well first off, no matter what people might try and tell you this is definitely pretty much completely a psychological addiction, for you anyway. After 2 months any physical addiction should be gone. So don’t bother wasting money on nicotine patches or anything like that.
There are really only a few situations where its really important to keep up your will power. The main one is when you are at a shop which sells cigarettes, all it takes to overcome this obsatcle is one mintue of strong will power while you’re at the counter. The other situations are times where other people are smoking around you. You should let any of your friends that are smokers know that you’re trying to quit, and tell them to not ever offer you a cigarette again. If they start lighting one up near you, ask them not to or walk away for a moment.
Another thing you should is you find another, healthier habit to replace smoking, for example chewing gum or something. So every time you think about smoking, do whatever your new habit is instead.
And if you ever find yourself about to light another one up, before you do it, always remember to think about how guilty you’re going to feel afterwards.
Well I hope at least some of that will be of help to you. Good Luck! 
yea that’s how I started again. Someone offered it to me. My hands started to shake…I hope I can quit soon. What about you Daylight? Any news?
I’m not smoking for 6 days…
i too am using patches (and gum) 
as help… and i do have excellent recall too, as was said…
i wonder if that’s 'cause of the patch or 'cause i stopped! (or both)
Haven’t quit yet. My girl is going to help me.
I do live in the states. 
I am trying to quit again, though. My first step is to stop buying packs, and to just smoke my friend’s when I am offered. I will progress to not smoking at all once I get used to only smoking 3 or 4 cigs a day.
There are these bwgen deep hypnosis presets. Some of the people say their bad habits they had since their childhoods were gone in 2 days using these presets. You might want to try that.
Congratulations to everyone who is trying to quit smoking! Even smoking less is better for your health. I smoked for 5 years, with a 6 month attempted quit in the middle. I quit about a year ago, hopefully for good. Here’s some info that might help:
As was mentioned before it’s mental, not physical. The physical addiction goes away after a few days. However, it takes longer than that for your body to naturally start producing endorphins like it was before you started. Remember that the drug affects the way you feel and think, so if you think you want a cig, its the drug thinking that for you.
Apart from the terrible things smoking does, it does some annoying things as well: Reduced lung capacity, reduced blood flow/colder limbs/easier to get numb, lowered sexual drive and performance, lower job performance, lowered concentration, fatigue, lowered immune system functionality/sick more often/heal slower, lowered stamina, lowered pain tolerance, lower taste/smell sensations, and on and on.
My point is: life gets better when you quit smoking. It has been proven that people who don’t smoke are more likely to be successful, and live longer. They also enjoy the ability to smell, taste, walk, run, love, play, and think to a fuller capacity.
That’s the frame of mind that helped me quit smoking. I hope that helps all of you. Don’t be discouraged if you can’t quit right away. Because you are trying means that you have self respect, and that proves that you’re already a healthy person on a path towards a good life. Don’t let yourselves down!
If I smoked and I wanted to stop, i think that is a good way to stop…gradually take less and less cigarettes…
but be inspired… do it for your girlfriend, wife, kids or even yourself
also I would try to keep your mind of it…that should help…
and I would chew alot of gum, and I would try to pick up a new hobbie such as… dominoes… 
lol
but make it a health, benfitial hobby
Well, I’ve never smoked before (and never will - I have asthma and can’t breath around smoke) but nevertheless, I got some rather unusual advice for those who are trying to quit. Why not reward yourself if you don’t smoke for a certain amount of days? I mean you can make a deal with yourself - that if you don’t smoke for a certain amount of days, or if you smoke a certain amount of cigarettes/cigars for a certain amount of days, you will buy something you’ve wanted to buy for a while.
Rewards can help keep you motivated and willing to stay focused on trying to stop.
Not to smoke in order to smoke? That doesn’t sound like it would work for me.
The problem with rewards, at least for us young people who haven’t still settled in life is wage.
/me has started all over again 
Not buying packs: not effective at all. Of course, it’s progress in that no one with a pack in their pockets will ever, ever stop. But the “people offering you one” factor really spoils it.
What about having a pack with you with one single sigaret. I have no idea if it will work, but it’s just a thought. Maybe I’ve heard about it before, but I’m not sure. I don’t really know why it would work, maybe because the last one is always something that we rather don’t take?
Makes sense. 
Hmm, could try that.
