addiction

[Arkhan]

In the UK smokers happily call them "fags" so I think your idea will not work so well.....

just pretend they have herpes then.  Color little red dots on every fag.

went and saw doctor toady, got perscribed champix let's see how that goes

Not sure if a guy named Dr. Toady is trustworthy for medical advice or treatment... 

Just remember a couple things with Chantix.  You can smoke during the first week but you'll notice towards the middle/end of the week you won't enjoy the cigs anymore.  After that you WILL still get cravings but if you can just wait 2-3 minutes and not have a cig, the cravings with completely vanish.  Just get past those few minutes of initial cravings and you'll be ok... Keep us updated and good luck!

it works just as you described on my third week of pills now
after about 3 or 4 days I cut down to 10 a day from 20 and over the week had less and less til I haven't had for a week exactly today
champix is powerful stuff
I have had crazy dreams every time I go to sleep though whereas I have barely had dreams my whole life other than that no side effects, no depression no spasms or anything

read this book: Easy way to stop smoking - by Allan Carr

i havent touched a smoke in 5 years and anyone i know who has read it has successfully quit for long periods of time

good luck!

its an easy read - maybe 100 pages or so - well worth the $15 for someone trying to quit - i dont know for sure but maybe there is a little brain washing going on in those pages - all i can say is it worked for me and several others i know - i think it comes down to that moment of weakness - where you really want a smoke and i believe having read this book helped me make the choice not have one - everytime - until it just didnt matter anymore - and i was free - finally - after having tried so many times before with no success

i have the book personally it didnt work for me but i think that was because i had a lot to deal with at the time. this guy did plenty of interviews before he died giving away his "secret" but i guess the book just explains it in ten times more death. basically it tries to convince you to have an epiphany that you no longer smoke.
although lung cancer got him in the end if he didnt stop im pretty sure he would have died in his 50s rather than his 70s

[albatross]

you are the first person i have heard say it didnt work - are you still smoking?  maybe give it another read? 

i didnt know he died - its kind of ironic - but i guess when he did smoke it was to the extreme - like 2 - 3 packs a day

one thing i do remember from the book was him saying - there is nothing good or positive about smoking it does not add to or enrich anyones life in anyway - that always stuck with me

its an easy read - maybe 100 pages or so - well worth the $15 for someone trying to quit - i dont know for sure but maybe there is a little brain washing ton of positive encouragement going on in those pages - all i can say is it worked for hundreds of thousands of others - i think it comes down to that moment of weakness - where you really want a smoke and i believe having read this book helped others make the choice not have one - everytime - until it just didnt matter anymore - and they were free - finally - after having tried so many times before with no success.

Native Americans tend to disagree.

i guess it really boils down to a choice - albeit a very very difficult one! 

[jeffhlewis]

I quit smoking after I stopped hanging out with people who smoke. Easier said than done in a lot of cases, but it really worked. This theory was proven when I started smoking again after moving in with a roommate who smokes. I'll probably quit again after our lease is up, for good this time.

That, and getting out there and going for a run, bike ride, etc. every day keeps me motivated to not pollute my lungs with crap.

[albatross]

god luck man!  you have done it before and you will do it again

[MrFlutterPie]

Worst side effects are suicidal thoughts, demonic dreams, and death.
(and the other stuff you said)

That reminds me of this:

I've never done drugs but if I were ever to get high this is the first thing I am watching

Glad things are working out so far!

Hope the dreams are at least GOOD crazy ones.
