it's a mental thing, the will is everything...90% of my colleagues and friends smoke and i don't...my dad smokes too..
The will is weak. So weak. The last thing you should do is tell someone who's struggling that he needs more will. If he had it, he wouldn't be in this situation. What he needs is some clever tricks to fool the brain away from the current course of action.

For example, experiments have shown that what people call "having a strong will" is in fact the ability to distract yourself and think about other things when you are tempted. If you just stare at the thing you want and can't take your mind off of it, you will lose.

You can do it Bro! If you really want it you can, it will be hard but i'm sure you can do it!
The thing is that once I'm sick, I don't even want to smell them. Hell, I don't even think about them. As soon as I'm healthy again and get back to work, I don't even know what to do during breaks if not for having a smoke after lunch. Smoking keeps my busy.

yep..get those electric cigars..my dad got those and well..didn't helped them at all :D
My friend used them as well. He still smokes a packet a day.

:agree:

The thing is, I'm not entirely sure if I want to quit or not.

i smoked for 2 weeks, 3-4 cigars per day..not long enough to built a solid opinion about how to get rid of it but i started to hate it because i smelled bad and the need of smoking got to me.

I saw a lot of those too, trust me. They don't work.

So you Pat, a Dutchie, are you telling me you don't smoke or never smoked? :D

Nope, i don't :) I used to smoke some weed or hasj in the weekend but my gf didn't like me doing that so i stopped. My mom,sister and almost all my friends smoke so i inhale it from them...... Never had the urge to start smoking either :)

True.

What i do is, i close my eyes, visualize the cigarette & inhale/exhale, as if i took a drag.

Works for me & i haven't smoked in a month & a half now.:stuckup:

my baby girl broke one arm of my glasses. I am still using it until the new ones are ready. It just bugs that I have to level it every 2 seconds!!

Best part is - I never got angry at her. I just couldnt.

So Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" wasn't running through your head at the time?
