Quitting Smoking

[Faris]

I recommend: Trading one addiction for another or to ease off. Oooh! Or maybe even one of those e-cigarets.

Similar to what Raistlin said, it was recommended to a peer in a similar situation to trade on addiction for another. I don't know if he tried it or if it worked since I don't care to interact with this person, however, when I had to quit drinking soda (I was drinking 1-3 cans a day at the time) I tried that theory. Whenever I craved soda, I would drink water instead and at the time I started drinking coffee which replaced the caffeine intake. It seemed to have worked because for a year I didn't have a single can of soda.
Quitting caffeine is a completely different story though. Tried that cold turkey and had migraines so never again. If I really wanted to quit, I would slowly reduce my intake.

To be fair I've only ever quit something I was starting to enjoy less and less (alcohol) so I don't remotely know what it's like to have an addiction.

My mother's been trying and failing to quit smoking for years though, and constantly complains about having no money. Sure wish she'd see the pattern.

I really enjoy smoking, but I've started smoking too much for my liking. I'm hoping to cut it down to one a day at the very most. I just moved house and won't be near smokers for a while, so I'm using it as an opportunity to quit.

Also, I'm joining the gym so I guess I'll need to cut it out.

Always sneaking around, smoking.

I don't know what you are talking about

When did you start smoking? I thought you were a poor college student. The money spent on cigarettes could have been used for something much more practical.

Get a nicotine patch, then roll it up and smoke it

I know this isnt a particulary helpful post I just want to know if my theory is plausable

I used to smoke for a couple years until I was 19. I just quit cold turkey and it wasn't particularly bad to be honest.

Although I kind of do want one now. O_O
