It takes a little while dude. I'm six months quit now, I was almost pack a day for 5 years, smoked for over 10 years. The first month is hard but it gets easier man! Don't give up!! The hardest thing for me was my weight, I gained almost 20 lbs!!!!!! I've lost about 15 of it now but I enjoyed eating again I could taste my food!!! Just don't give in buddy!!!

well i have to kick em cause i have an extreme physically straining field test coming up for fire fighting there've been guys that threw up and quit.it takes me about 2 maybe 2 and a half a day to go through a pack

 

i read everytime you light up it take 15 minutes from your life time

You guys are smart to give it up early in life; among other things, it's easier to do. The longer one indulges in the habit, the harder it is to give up. Don't ask me how I know......

I smoked from age 12 to 29. Was up to two packs a day. Ran out of smokes on the way home from the girlfriends house, figured I would see how long I could go. This year will be 24 years. Trick is to distract yourself. Most smokers stop every day for 8 hours, and they manage to sleep right through it. How hard can it be then? When I stopped, you could still smoke in the workplace, and indoors as well.

Been smoke free now for 1.5yrs and it's one of the best things I did for me and my family.

Hang in there you will be able to do it.

I don't smoke but I have been chewing since I was 15, just turned 25 on the 18th. I gave it up for lent my Freshman year of college and kept it up for about 8 months, had my final sports injury, gave up my scholarship, came home to a college here and started chewing again. My problem is I put one in before I work on anything, mow the yard, wash the truck, things like that. It is just such a habbit to do that I don't even realize I'm doing it.

 

I tell myself I'll stop when I have kids which should be within 5-10 years, waiting on the GF to finish dental school and get married. Problem is I could have cancer and lose my jaw by then, just so hard to kick the habbit when I work on stuff everyday after work.

I smoked from the time I was 15 until last June just after I turned 34. 19 years and I was one of those people that LIKED smoking. Hell, LOVED it. It was my fix, my get away, my relaxing treat to myself. I was up to two packs a day for years at one point and still averaging a pack a day until about the end of January 2010. My gf asked me to see if I could quit. Never gave it much though but the end of last June, I decided to give it a shot. I was already down to less than a half a pack a day so what's the big deal, I thought.

 

Everybody talks about how hard it is and honestly, I really didn't find it that hard at all. Break the habit of lighting one up when you do this or when you do that and after that, it's all downhill from there. At least for me it was. I've been smoke free for almost a year now and I haven't touched a one. It sucks that I've gained a TON of weight because of it but now I can go to the gym and I don't get winded so easy so that will all come around with time.

 

Now, if you want to talk about dieting now THERE is a toughy............LOL!!
