Go for it!
Best of luck, quitting smoking isn't easy,and only the strong survive

I'm trying to quit myself, I went from about a pack a day to about 3-4 cigs a day. Pretty proud of myself.

For that really thorough quitting process, go for aversion therapy. Every time you look at a cigarette, someone should kick you in the testicles. Pretty soon you won't want to smoke. Or procreate.

I smoked for about 27 years when I quit 2 years ago. I just did it cold turkey. No gum, patches, or pills. Just the desire to quit and lots of prayer. Every time I wanted a cigarette I said a prayer. Sure I still get cravings every now and then, but I haven't started back up. And I've started to get my sense of smell back, too.

People who want congratulations for quitting smoking strike me as being similar to people who want congratulations for pregnancy.

Anyone could do it if they wanted to, and in many cases even if they didn't.

its amazing what has happenned to my teeth since quitting, first my gums bled as bloodflow returned to them. then the gums recovered completely and i now longer have terribly sensitive teeth. my dentist says few people realise the affects of smoking on their teeth other than the obvious staining

That's how I got my best friend to quit. :)

I haven't smoked since Thanksgiving. Keep it up. I used the patch and haven't used one of them since January. You'll do fine without your crutch. Just remember, it only takes that one drag. Don't take that first drag and you'll be fine.

Every day you don't smoke you get to use your gonads for their natural procreative functions. of course, that would require a willing object like a girl/boyfriend of some sort who would hold you to it.

Nothing works if you don't want to quit, but if you do it helps. It's like the commercial used to say, you still want to smoke, but you don't have to. All these stop smoking crutches basically do the same thing. They help you get over the physical routine of smoking, meaning the ritual of lighting up after you eat or have sex or get in the car or whatever, before you have to get over the nicotine addiction. It just makes it so you don't have to get over the chemical addictioon and the hand-mouth routine at the same time.

the danger here is that people may start smoking in order to get the rewards for giving up.
:headbang: and once given up and the rewards dry up id want to go full circle again
