Try a rubber band around your wrist, every time you have a craving, 'gently' snap the rubber band.


That's what I was going to say. I think it's called 'aversion therapy' or something to that note.

One other methos, to at least help cut down is every time you have a craving, wait five minutes. I've tried that and it does work to an extent. Usually found something else to do to take my mind off it before my time was up. But I never actually quit that way.

The only way I have really quit [sort of] successfully for any period of time was cold turkey - starting at the beginning of the day. It's much harder to not smoke after you've lit one up during that day. It might help if it's on a day when you're sick and/or don't really feel like smoking in the first place. I just have the problem of every single one of my friends smoking and couldn't get away from it so always wind up back at it.

I never tried the patch, nasty gum or much of any other method, and have heard mixed reviews.

Chantix, get a prescription from your doctor. It works and makes it so much easier to quit. I know I recently quit using it and I couldn't have without it. It's pricey but call a Quit Line and I think they can get the price down for you to like $25.

Quit the weed. It is smoking and causes the same harm as smoking.

Good Luck! Baby is adorable!!!!!!!

I had a major heart attack the 4th of this month. That'll do it.

And I thought I was in excellent health. I'm strong as an ox. My cholesterols fine, sodium fine, fat/muscle ratio fine. Just smoking and stress that acked me.

Take girls advice and quit so that beautiful little baby will have a dad for a good long time. Just don't buy any and when you want one...do something else.

Actually weed is FAR less toxic than commercial tobacco. Cigarettes contain additives. Weed contains...hydrocannibinol and no additives. That is if you forget the US governments attempt at poisoning us with Paraquat. Did I say US? lol

Heres a few things in your cigarettes besides tobacco.

Benzene (petrol additive)
A colourless cyclic hydrocarbon obtained from coal and petroleum, used as a solvent in fuel and in chemical manufacture - and contained in cigarette smoke. It is a known carcinogen and is associated with leukaemia.

Formaldehyde (embalming fluid)
A colourless liquid, highly poisonous, used to preserve dead bodies - also found in cigarette smoke. Known to cause cancer, respiratory, skin and gastrointestinal problems.

Ammonia (toilet cleaner)
Used as a flavouring, frees nicotine from tobacco turning it into a gas, found in dry cleaning fluids.

Acetone (nail polish remover)
Fragrant volatile liquid ketone, used as a solvent, for example, nail polish remover - found in cigarette smoke.

Tar
Particulate matter drawn into lungs when you inhale on a lighted cigarette. Once inhaled, smoke condenses and about 70 per cent of the tar in the smoke is deposited in the smoker's lungs.

Nicotine (insecticide/addictive drug)
One of the most addictive substances known to man, a powerful and fast-acting medical and non-medical poison. This is the chemical which causes addiction.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) (car exhaust fumes)
An odourless, tasteless and poisonous gas, rapidly fatal in large amounts - it's the same gas that comes out of car exhausts and is the main gas in cigarette smoke, formed when the cigarette is lit. Others you may recognize are :

Arsenic (rat poison),

Hydrogen Cyanide (gas chamber poison)

Thats the short list. Abou 390 more that are not quite so harmful SOUNDING.

Reply to FreeToB: Hmmm I believe that when smoking weed one inhales it into their lungs and tries to hold it there for as long as possible... so that they will get the effect on their "brain".

I'm not here to lecture on anyone's habits or pleasures. Just here to help.:smile:
