One thing I can assure of is this: unless you are 100% ready to QUIT; you will fail. You have to WANT to quit before you can quit; I know. I smoked for twenty years 2-3 packs a day and have been smoke free for two years and four months; quit cold turkey. Smoking is nothing but a HABIT. If you can find something else to take your mind off of the URGE to light one up; you will have a better chance of quiting. Good luck. I BELIEVE YOU CAN QUIT!!!!! Chad

Recently quit. 30 yrs old started having chest pains. Scary. Smoked a pack and a half of marlboros a day for fifteen years.. Try that Chantix. It worked for me. no nightmares like everyone said. Took about a week and a half and I just didn't want to smoke anymore. Been two months now. smoke free. Good luck to you. Stay strong you'll get through it. Greg

I used Chantix, and every morning when I woke up my arms would be sore. Then i realized that I was having nightmares everynight about my wife cheating on me. I had to stop taking it. I stopped for a while then had a life changing tragedy and started again. The chantix stuff worked, but it really messed with my head.

Read the book "Easy Way to Give Up Smoking" and you will be exempted from cigarettes

I quit smoking about a year ago I just convinced myself I didn't want to smoke anymore and finally was so disgusted with every one I smoked I had to quit because I just felt so dirty for doing it... Those e cigs and chantex can't beat your own free will if you don't want to do it make a conscious decision to just rid yourself of it but one thing I haven't really got over is carrying a lighter a trusty bic remains in my pocket on most days...

Judas Priest! ? One pack + a day ??
Its alot of psychological and some physical.
If you are ready to quit, then you will be successful. Find a new little hobby...something simple yet enjoyable, and do that whenever you have an urge. Keep busy! Also, visit your doctor, he/she can give you prescribed or OTC suggestions.

I work in surgery with vascular patients, and 80% of them are amputees or will be due to smoking. You really are damaging so much of your body, not just your lungs.

I tried the chantix a few yrs ago and had the cepression and nightmare thing. As of now, I'm smoke free for 2 months. I used the nocorette lozenges for a few weeks then switched to tic tacs. Now to get off the tic tacs!


If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

E-cigs for both the wife and I. Worked really well and we even dropped the E-cig after about 2 months.
