Anyone quit smoking?

And have advice?  I used to smoke like 3 or 4 packs a week, but now I'm down to like 1 or 2 cigarette a day, unless I'm at a party or something.  But I feel like I may have bronchitis, and I'm not really trying to aggravate it at all if I do.  My cravings aren't bad, and when I do get the rare one it's usually small.  If I'm sitting at home just chilling I rarely get a real craving, although I do go out sometimes when I'm really bored and have one.  I'm just looking for some small tips on things to do when I do get cravings.  I've come this far really well, now I'm just trying to get from 1 or 2 a day to none.

Thanks

Don't give up; I applaud your efforts.

I know a few people who are trying to give it up at the moment. My advice is just to stick with it (pretty generic eh) and look at how far you've come  and how close you are to being off the stuff whenever you get a craving.


The only other thig I can think of is to try to keep something in place of a cigarette, in terms of something to hold and chew on; pens/pencils/straws whatever.

I can't say that I have, but I highly applaud the progress you've made. Considering how dependent I've become on the damn things, I can appreciate how difficult that is.

Quitting is for pussys.

The best way to quit is to actually increase your cigarette intake to at least 4 packs a day. This way you'll die alot faster and help put the tobacco companies out of business. I mean once all their customers are dead, who is going to buy their product?

I'm doing my part. I expect you to do yours. It's for the greater good.

PROTIP: Don't take R4z0r seriously.

The only thing I smoke are fools on the bball court

Find a smoker's helpline type thing in your area. The support helps A LOT.

I just quit 3 months ago after 10 years of a pack a day habit. Not to state the obvious, but don't do anything for a while that triggers your craving. I stopped drinking for the first 2 months that I quit simply because I knew if I drank, I'd probably smoke as well. But let's face it dude, if you only have 1-2 a day, you're smoking them because you want to, not because you're addicted. Man it up and just throw 'em away, should be ridiculously easy to do. If all else fails, get the gum. It helped me tremendously, but I had the addiction to overcome as well.

I've had several annoying habits.  While not smoking, perhaps one of my methods would work for you.

Promising yourself that if you feel like doing A, then you'll do B instead; where B is something else you enjoy.
If I feel like staying up late, but I know I have a class tomorrow, then I might just play a round or two of TF2 instead of just sitting around until 2AM just doing whatever.

Saving up a bit of money for something you want and telling yourself you'll only buy it under conditions XYZ.
I want a headset, but I'm not going to buy it until I don't have a bunch of classes because I know I'd find a reason to procrastinate and go play games instead.

Making a deal with someone, where you have to do your part first. (This worked for my sister, I haven't tried it myself)
My sister would regularly make simple deals with me where if I played a certain game with her, then she would play a certain game with me.  I found that often she would do whatever she could to get out of her side of the deal if I had already done my part.  I started making deals with her where she has to do her part first, and she's gotten alot better at motivating herself to keep her end.  You'd just have to find somebody who can offer something motivating enough to get you to quit.

Hopefully one of these works for you.

I'm probably just gonna do this.  Not ridiculously easy, I got it down to 1 or 2 a day after a couple months of consciously trying, but right now would be easier than any other time.

I used to smoke a cigarette before school, after school, many more that day and before I went to sleep.  Now, I just have one when I'm frustrated or really bored.  I don't even get the craving because I made sure that after a 9 day break (at summer camp), even if I still smoked I didn't make any habits, like when I wake up or after coffee.  The only habit I guess I have is if I get drunk or high, I still want one, but that is rare these days for me.
