you're only right about one thing, it's impossible to quit smoking with that defeatist mentality.... i quit smoking in april of 2006, never picked up a grit again... and cigarettes don't bother me now, almost all of my friends suck on cigarettes around me, my mind healed, its all over, the cravings are ancient history, the first few weeks were really tough, everyone at work was

I can't seem to see the difference between "you just need willpower" and "you just need to think positively", the crux being that there is some silver bullet to success. Quitting is hard because life is hard and we need coping mechanisms, smoking unfortunately produces a feedback loop, in that regard. Zealotry and people that buy into lifestyle choices as soultions are infinitely more intolerable

I must in the minority. I have been able to quit on will power alone. I have been smoke free for over 4 years now. It can be done.

With all the nicotine addicts dying every day from cigarette smoking, you think they'd make it illegal like marijuana. But has anyone (that you know of) ever died from marijuana? Do you think your local hospital has anyone in there for marijuana use?
I didn't think so.

Seriously retard post. Impossible to quit smoking, right. Good use of semantics, you'd make a fine Scientologist.

I quit cold turkey on August 24, 2006. I think everyone has a method that will work for them so I don't know if my success can be duplicated by anyone else. All I can say for sure is this:

I tried many times to quit smoking. I failed all of those times except for this last one. I think to be successful you HAVE to want to quit. Everyone says that but it's true. The first times I quit I

Thanks...best advice I've heard. It's true that when I want to lose a few pounds, I think thin and I eat thin. Why didn't I realize that if I think like a non smoker I'll become one. Instead I've been putting off that last cigarette for years. Thanks again...new view...feels right...I won't have to quite if I don't smoke any more...

Is this author an ex-smoker? I smoked for 10 years, and now have been clean for 13 months, and I disagree with everything in this article.

First of all, you must want to quit. I'm not using the word want freely here, you really need to WANT to quit and put up with all the crap that comes along with that decision.

You MUST think about quitting. If you don't think about it,

I totally agree. I only quit when I changed what I did during my day, not when I simply stopped smoking and sat around more. You've got to replace the fun you have smoking with other enjoyable things.

Also, don't use "I'll have more money!" as a reason to quit; you'll end up spending it on smokes. Instead, spend all the money you would've spent on anything you desire; just make sure it's

Sorry mate, but I quit nearly 2 years ago and have no desire for another one.

Want to know what finally gave me the mindset to quit?

I'll tell you anyway, smokers smoke, to feel like a non-smoker.

What? You say? It is true and I'll tell you why.

Non-smokers do not smoke and because of that, they do not crave ciggies. Smokers on the other hand, smoke,
