13 years for me. Smoking was like getting on express train, but shit, if you wanted local stops. Easiest habit in the world to pick up. I smoked everywhere but the shower, cause I couldn't keep the cig. dry.

This is what I did: I did not tell anyone I was quitting. I didn't wait till I was on vacation, I did it while I was at work. (think about it, we are miserable sometimes at work anyway.) I did it day, by day.

After the first 72 hours, the physical craving is gone. After that its the psychological cravings. You need to figure out your "smoking cues".

I am not saying you need to stop any activities that you are doing, but you need to be aware of what triggers your smoking.

I started smoking cigs. were 75 cents a pack, and when I stopped they were $2.60. You will notice that you get less sore throats, etc...but the first few days will be like a cold.

Good Luck,

Cigarettes cost the equivalent of about 10 US dollars here. At least half of the price is taxes. The government making money off a highly addictive drug which causes severe health problems. I guess some of the tax revenue goes back into funding hospitals, which is where a lot of long term smokers end up.

I quit a year ago, cold turkey is the only way to go to tbh.

The government just taxes them more because they care about you and want you to stop.

Just like alcohol.
I'm surprised they don't just make gear, weed, and other things legal.

Actually the government does has legal weed. They grow it for medical purposes like AIDS. I'm sure Leafy Slug knows about that.

I quit 4 years ago, was smoking since I was 16.... Quiting was the best thing ever, the only thing better was to leave my wife and to follow my dream of becoming a Pro Bodybuilder

Quitting is easy, after the first week, even easier after the first month. After smoking for 10 years, I got tired of giving the government more money, so I stopped. I wouldn't think of having a smoke today. It's great if you do and they're great if you're bored, but kind of a hassle in a way. Breathing is fun, but I'll always be a smoker at heart. Most anti-smoker fanatics are fags. And the whole "2nd hand smoke" thing is believable, if you believe in the tooth fairy too.

It's not easy for eveybody, Ciggies are as adictive as Heroin (mental not physicl) if you are in nature a person
that tend to get addiced to things you have a hard time stoping.

IF it would be so easy why are there millions of people who know sm,oking will lead to cancer and they cannot stop?
No my friend stoping is easy for some lucky once but very hard very very hard for the rest.

No, easy after the first few days. In general, it could be hard for some people. I quit using the patch for a week, then nothing. The first time I tried, I failed after half a day. I quit the next time.

I quit by setting a goal that I just wanted to go to bed once without having a ciggy, from one day became a week
than I forgot about smoking for the first time, with that I mean Ciggies weren't on my mind 24/7 anymore.

And yes after the 3 day or so it get's easier, but I don't drink I don't go out much, I lift and go to museums a lot... and I know a lot of people that went back smoking just because they were in the pub.

Quitting cigarettes for people who are addicted to them is like SquadFatter working out or stopping his bullshit posts. It's just too hard to do.
