Smoking

i have recently quit smoking and i was wondering if any other people that have quit have any tips? i smoked roughly a pack a day for about a year and i have to say it's not that hard. sure i want one but im done with this childish phase.

Are you even old enough to buy cigarettes? Chewing gum is the only thing that I have heard helps, however I don't know because I don't smoke.

nah im underage. thats why it's a childish habit. plus it's way too expensive for a walmart salary.

I used to think that it was definitely getting too expensive to smoke.
But I just can't shake it. Although I don't smoke as much as for sure.
But I was never what you'd call a "chain smoker" At most I think the most I ever smoked was less than a pack a day.

But when I was younger I did stop smoking for about 3 years. Then one day I just said "screw it" and next thing I know, I'm back to smoking.

PS: didn't anyone ever tell you that nobody likes a quitter :D:

So how recently is recent??? Studies have shown that chemicals from tobacco smoking will linger in the body for up to a MONTH DURATION!!! (So you can't claim you've quit until you've survived at least a month...)

Congratulations on trying to kick a bad habit. every long term smoker I knos has some negative side effect to show for it. good thing you're getting out now.

yeah, by recent i mean about 5 days so im probably not feeling the full effect yet. but on friday and saturday i use to smoke 2 packs. the funny thing is, my motto is live faast and die young :)

Congrats on trying to quit! My advice for when you start feeling the need for a cigarette is to distract yourself with something else. Something that you can throw your full concentration into like a sport, book, game, or puzzle.
