Perhaps this will make things a little easier for you. First photo is of a lady who had to have both lungs removed because of smoking related cancer. 2nd photo is an autopsy photo of a cancer riddled lung that resulted in the smokers death, any questions?

Congratulations on your 2days
........When you catch yourself obsessing on having a smoke, make yourself wait 10 minutes and find something to do, get out of your head and make yourself think about something else, works everytime. In 10 minutes the urge will have passed...I'm and x-smoker and this is how I did it.

You guys can do it!! For all you who are posting pics of lungs etc.... That will not work. Smokers dont think it will happen to them..only the other guy. For Christs sake Tobins had cancer twice and is quiting now for some reason. Everybody has a reason to quit,but smokers make all kinds of excuses not to quit....I will quit after this pack...carton..after this weekend because theres a big party, after the kids go back to school..etc.. You will know when your ready. I was ready...I am smoke free for almost 2 years now...never cheated or had 1 since ( to scared ). By the way I did it cold turkey,no BS,no

[hr]
,no patches,no laser.. but what ever works for you guys. Final word...Get through day 3 and you got it licked...I promise. Now if I could only stop drinking....LOL

jennythebug- I live in Athens for the next 2.5 months. I'm moving back to Atlanta to start up my new business- most likely around Buckhead or up in Duluth... Duluth is cheaper, but buckhead is much more central and more appropriate for my business. Enough about that- How bout them smokers?!?!

you two. I have quit drinking and also tobacco so I guess you could say I am a professional quitter. Sometimes it is making it to the next hour and sometimes it is just making it to the next minute. One thing that helped me was looking at my kids and telling myself, would I rather ...... or spend another hour of my like with my kids. Pretty simple decision really.

I've set my quit date(again) for Fathers Day...I owe it to my kids and myself.
I bought my sw tank this past Jan as a present to myself for quitting the habit and fell back on the wagon.
I'm having some surgery at the end of Jun and will be laid up so I might as well quit. i won't be able to get up much and I can't smoke in the house so quit it is. More money for my other addiction

To everybody thats trying keep the faith!

Damnit I keep cheating, first I didnt even think about it, I was out in the shop and just picked up a pack from the shelf and lit up.
I was half done with it before I even remembered I was trying to quit. Felt like a fool.
Next was ALL me, I deliberatley went out to the shop and found the same pack and leached a smoke in the morning and then again in middle of the night.
I feel so guilty, but damn its hard. You have all heard it before so I wont let you down. Ill join you solid and smoke free. No more sneeking or trying to tell myself " Its only one today"
flat out smoke free.......take two....
