Thats insane....Really interesting to me that a few people here have claimed to still be mentally addicted to cigarettes even after a year + of not smoking. If you "want to light up" that urge is coming from you being mentally addicted since the physical withdraws are long gone..

The ONLY reason its hard to quit smoking for me is the annoying physical withdrawals, and the knowledge that if i take just one drag the physical uncomfortableness would immediately melt away. I'm curious as to how you got mentally addicted to cigarettes? I HATE smoking...i only do it because im physically addicted...If my body does not have nicotine i feel "off" to say the least..But i have never "WANTED" to light up a cigg, It brings me no enjoyment whatsoever...

hmmm...

After many many years of smoking(close to 40 for me) your mind build mental queues that trigger the want of nicotine. such as after a meal, after sex, While playing poker. a mired of things that trigger that long term mental conditioning that will be in your brain forever.
I quit a year ago last OCT when smoking almost killed me. After having pneumonia for the 3rd time that year I was released from the oxygen tent to go home and on the way out of the hospital in the parking lot I tried to light u and collapsed and ended up staying in the hospital another 3 days. That was the straw that broke this camels back. My point is that after long term smoking your brain wants that nicotine, and it has built mental triggers that makes it want that nicotine. Those do not go away over night. It can take many years to clear your mind of them. I still have at least one craving a week. and expect to probably have them once in a while for the rest of however much life I have left.

Just stop buying cigarettes, simple as that.

I never understood why anyone smokes cigarettes. The first time you smoke its awful, so why keep doing it?

Cannabis could never be a substitute for nicotine. There's nothing better than topping off a bowl with a ciggy treat, and the urge to do so would be extremely tempting.

I smoke alot of pot throughout my day..But i haven't smoked in 2 days due to me quitting cigarettes. There is no way id be able to toke without feein for an afer-cyph cigg. Today has been alot easier...Chewed one piece of that nasty ass gum at about 2pm and i felt alright after that. It's still going pretty well..Im so done pissing away over 11 dollars everyday for something that's fucking killing me slowly, Staining my teeth, Making my clothes smell like smoke, My house smells like smoke..My car...Its just fucking nasty.

Good luck, my *****. Like other people have said, there are no magic bullets and I suspect a lot of it all boils down to motivation. I too hope to quit eventually but have no desire to do so at the moment. I could take my cigarettes out in the backyard, bury 'em and piss on 'em. An hour later, I'd be digging them up and drying them in the oven.
