smoking, that is.

In the grand scheme of things I haven't been smoking for long (2 years consistently?) but I had a big motivation to quit this weekend. I got my chest kind of crushed and for two days I felt like I couldn't take a full breath. That was awful! So of course I didn't smoke then, but now I need to make an effort to kick it for good.

I smoked the last cig in my pack yesterday afternoon, and I haven't bought another. Tips for me?
Right now Im just trying to make it less available, and Im going to try not to drink so I wont start bumming

good luck
the only real way of effectively stopping is really wanting to, I think
you can do it though
smoking isn't even that good really it's kind of pointless and a waste of money if you think about it

Rubber band?

Place a few rubber bands around your wrist. When you get the urge to smoke
pull them back and pop yourself. It does hurt a lot but I've never seen it not work.
Sounds extreme but that simple popping and pain does a lot less than smoking does at the end.
You'll need to commit though to popping so then it's like i want to smoke but i know that
pop will hurt and you might just back down.

There's also the method of sealing one pack of them in a clear container and sitting them
right next to where you usually are. Make the container hard to get into so when you have the urge
there's a chance you'll either give up trying or relax enough naturally that before you get
in the urge has passed.

i find the best method is just to not talk about it and move on. idk i've taken to smoking only on special occasions. i smoke maybe 2 packs a year.
The hardest thing for me personally is after a stressful day and the tv puts nothing but those stupid anti smoking ads on and its like WTF now i wanna smoke lol.

should quit
why?
bad for health
might get cancer
some part of mouth blackens
the smoke you release, those who breathe it will get twice the effect! you get...
waste of money
doesn't make you look cooler...

I literally broke down when I realized 1/3 was half of 2/3. And cried until I was sober. 0/10, do not want.
