So I just got over a pretty nasty 2 week long respiratory infection this weekend, and I won't bore you with the details but basically it got a bit scary for a few days and I decided it was finally time to take a serious shot at putting down cigarettes after 15 years of smoking.

I've done good so far. It's been 10 days since I made the descision to quit, and i've only had 4 cigarettes, down from at least a pack a day. I was wondering if there were any successfull quitters on these forums that could offer some tips/advice.

My worst cravings are after a few bad matches on Dust, lol

*after bad matches*

Me- God f*cking dammit!!! Thats f*cking bull sh*t!!! Did you see that sh*t???!!!
RestlessSpirits- Yea, we saw it, its all good Dunk, just chill out.
Me- Oh my god that f*cking pisses me the f*ck off. I need a f*cking cigarette!!!!
RestlessSpirits- No, Dunk, you don't need a cigarette.
Me- Yea, I f*cking do!!
RestlessSpirits- No you don't.
Me- AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Anyway, some craving and frustration control tips would be welcome. Gum doesn't come even close to working, and my once loved cups of coffee just aren't the same anymore.

Respect bro. Last time I quit I started to roll my own using pipe tobacco for a while first. Pipe tobacco is a lot lighter on nicotine and additives than most cigarettes, plus it's a lot cheaper to roll pipe tobacco than it is to buy cigarettes. And pipe tobacco is cheaper than cigarette tobacco.

Rolling your own makes you have to work for each cigarette, therefore making you have to make a conscious and physical effort to smoke. It helps you make the decision not to smoke by making you spend 45-120 seconds actually making one before you can light up. (if you've never rolled a cigarette with a hand roller before, it'll take you 4-5 minutes with the instructions that come with it to figure it out)

A 6 oz. bag of "OHM" (decent low price pipe tobacco) makes about a carton to a carton and a half worth and cost's $7.25 or you can get a small bag that makes about a pack's worth for $1.25ish
100 "ROLLIT" cigarette papers is $1.19
200 "TOP" cigarette filters are
A hand roller costs about $2-$4 depending on brand. My Zippo one cost me 3.49, my Top one was $2.19 but they are made out of different materials and have different levels of durability. A zippo one tends to last a lot longer.

I started smoking again, but I stuck with rolling my own since it at least keeps me down to about 3 packs a week.

My mother, sorta, did the same thing. She moved to e-cigarettes but has stayed there because she has the oral fixation like crazy. She usually does low or no nicotine. I say go e-cigarette as well. It has its own risks, mostly because of the nicotine vapor, but that horrible cough my mother was getting in the morning went away with it. Biggest thing is that you can moderate how much you use it. Take two puffs, feel better, let it sit in your pocket. It isn't nearly as ritualistic as a regular cigarette. Good luck mate. As my dad would say: "Quitting smoking is easy; I've done it 12 times."

It is better to be thought an idiot, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Dunk Mujunk RestlessSpirits 635	Posted - 2014.03.18 02:46:00 - [11] - Quote Thanks everyone. I may check out those e-cigs, though i'm worried I don't have the will power to not turn those into a habit. I am somewhat amazed at the amount of taste i'm starting to get back. Hoping to smoke a pork shoulder soon to take full advantage. I don't ever want to be one of those ex-smokers whos always trying to push non smoking on everyone, and I don't think I ever will be, but I take a nice deep breath now and jesus................I can breathe.

My 6 year old has been after me to quit smoking cigarettes since he was 4, I tried and tried and tried and failed repeatedly (which annoys me to no end because I quit cold turkey before I was a parent). Just last week I was given an e-cig by my wife and I haven't smoked a cigarette since.

KGB Sleep 872	Posted - 2014.03.18 04:02:00 - [15] - Quote You don't have to do these things but I found them key to my own story of quitting. Invest in yourself Putting a few hundred SP into teeth whitening lv 5 will make you think twice about staining them with cigs or coffee. Do it. See your doc and get some biotics to help you curb the urges. Use the patch if you need to but don't smoke e-cigs. Going through the motions of smoking won't help you quit as efficiently. Stop smoking and stop doing things that emulate smoking. I quit successfully that way. Your body will f with you, you'll think you need to be somewhere or forgot to do something. When you feel that way recognize it is an urge and deny it no matter what. It will pass in a few minutes and if you have the patch you will find it is less of an urge and you can even be around cigs without breaking your streak. In six weeks it will hurt to inhale smoke, but don't try it. I learned bc had a cigar for a very important event. Good luck. Because beer, that's why.
xxwhitedevilxx M Maphia Clan Corporation 1899	Posted - 2014.03.18 04:09:00 - [16] - Quote Don't think about it. Go out, have a walk, just keep your mind and body busy. Do some exercises, you don't want to smoke when you do some exercises. If you're married, tell your wife to hide / destroy all your packets everytime she sees one. Don't think about it, you don't need it at all. Don't smoke e-cigarettes, you risk to be addicted. It's more a psychological matter: you want to smoke because you're used to! If you don't smoke, nothing happens, if you smoke, well, you already know... I didn't quit smoking, but I'm doing my best trying not to see it as a sacrifice, but one of the best thing I could ever do. Good Luck on that. o/ >Bastard I : "Cce me ne... futt! XD"

C0TS Sebiestor Field Sappers Minmatar Republic 32	Posted - 2014.03.18 04:54:00 - [20] - Quote There's several ways to stop quitting from cold turkey to e-sigs to drops to the patch. There's a few things that can help motivate you and you need to use it, whether it be carrying a photo of a love one or maybe a message from a loved one for moral support. Consulting a doctor is also recommended for heavy smokers, its best to ween off than cold turkey , Tend to stay away from drinking and bars or smoking locations for a while, it might encourage you to smoke. In most cases it good to replace one addiction with another, mainly physical activity. Don't excessively do it but its a great tool to use and it can be a factor if you chose to go that route. Good luck

My man, you have come to the right place. If there is one thing that this game can help you with it is quitting smoking. Now, let me introduce you to alcoholism. It is a much healthier solution. This game will drive you to drink. If you do it right it can make the game quite tolerable. Might I suggest a fine single malt scotch. Lagavulin or Auchentoshan is the best in my opinion.

Waiyu Ren Seeker of The Path 50	Posted - 2014.03.18 10:05:00 - [24] - Quote I had to go on zyban... If i don't have something to take the edge off, it feels like my skin is crawling. I'm 2 months in, and 5 weeks completely smoke-free. I don't have the urge to smoke anymore, but it seems to have been replaced with an irrational fear of missing a pill, and a powerful and constant craving for sugar. I'm also starting to get just a bit chubby, despite the fact that i walk friggin everywhere. Sigh. I would already be quit by now if last time i tried the universe hadn't chose that exact moment to turn my life into a monumental cluster-f*ck. But anyhow; willpower, plus an easy and dependable crutch, and stay away from overly stressful situations until you learn a new coping mechanism. Sounds easy, really bloody isn't unfortunately. Good luck! Shouting doesn't make your opinion seem more valid, it just makes you seem more annoying.

They are cheap compared to smoking, better for you (maybe) and you can smoke them anywhere (here in UK anyway). Take a couple drags to take the edge off and put it down. I also find that keeping my hands busy helps with cravings, your mind associates nicotine with something in your hands. Play with a rubber band, twirl a pen, anything really.

You smoke sheesha tobacco in a hookah. Since you have to prepare it and can't take it with you you can form a new habit that involves smoking but just not chain smoking all the while with a better moment of enjoyment. Or at least start smoking a pipe. Learn to savor the moment once or twice a day and make it a good habit that can be ror the enjoyment. Smoking a fine tobacco product once a day or less is not bad and is not the problem. Chain smoking cheap cigarettes all the time is the problem. Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!

I don't know why but last night and today have been the worst. My mind keeps trying to rationalize buying some cigarettes. I think "i'll just buy a pack, give it to my boss or a friend, and i'll just get one when the cravings get bad". Lol, that would work for about a minute I think, and the pack would be gone in a half a day. Had to force myself to leave my money at home today cause I know I would have given in otherwise.
