You "quit" smoking five days ago, but smoked 2 packs on friday and saturday? Dude, sorry but by no means you have quit smoking. Most of my friends do smoke. And to be honest, I don't even listen to them if they tell me how proud they are for not having smoked a week. Because most of them do start again then.
Anyway, I think it's good that you at least try. Seriously, keep it up, stop smoking. I don't know anyone who hasn't regretted smoking.
I'm happy I never even started.

congrats! though tech you havent stopped yet, its something that will haunt u and most likley draw u back in, so it something you have to work on for a really long time maybe the rest of your life
stay away from friends who smoke when u have the craving, they can make it alot worse without even realizing it.
One thing to do it to distract yourself from it by getting into another habit a good one hopefully. you have to experiment though since alot of things may not work as well for you as they do someone else.

no no no, not at all. im saying i USE to smoke 2 packs on frriday and 2 packs on saturday. during the past 6 days i havent smoked any and im going to keep it that way.

i have been smoking 17 years almost and i have tried sevral times
to quite nd i found it very hard because i enjoy it sounds wierd
but it seems to relax me and i cant fid anything as good , gum really dont
work as good as people say because ti have tried and went right back to smoking.

I've never taken a drag, yet I've read that smoking herbals instead of the real thing for a couple months helps to kick the habit. It'll cost you, but I hear it's worth it.

yeah, but i just figured it wouldnt kill me just to quit all of the sudden so...

You can take the money you save from not buying cigarrettes and put it in an investment account like Emigrant Direct or Dollar Savings Direct and watch your money grow. That way you will feel the thrill of your money growing instead of lung cancer.
