Hey guys so I'm sitting here and in-front of me is a pack of Snus ( tobacco in a small tea-bag pouch you put under your lip - its like smoking - Just think Scandinavia) and I'm thinking to myself how awesome the nicotine addiction feels. But on the other hand the little guy in my head is saying ok you're still young why ruin that? Do the bad habit when you're 45. When sex with your wife just ain't that good anymore and your kids hate you and paying for their college tuition is just a *****.
Nah but ok I would just like to ask as I'm curious to how some of the fine pilots of eve manage to curb the bad habit ? I know that the first 2 days is slightly easier to go without but its the following days after which start to become a problem.
Now here's my problem, since i can pretty much have a snus whenever want, i have become a chain user. Although I'm still fairly young and i seem to look at this issue somewhat differently compared to most, now why quit when its the only indulgence i take pleasure in? thats my excuse. I don't eat junk food, or drink alcohol or do any other bad stuff. In fact i eat very heathy and I mean ah there is no better feeling than that strong after taste/feeling of nicotine after you've had that nice big meal - you get me  but like everyone else... the feeling is enjoyable and every time i go traveling or play my guitar sitting around i have to have a snus. Strangely enough i got excellent grades while on the snus  as it made me concentrate better and haha ok ill guess ill just say this but its also one hell of a confidence booster - not that i had any self-esteem issues 
So this got me thinking and now I'm reaching out to the fellow pilots of eve how in the world do you curb this habit? I'm very interested to hear of how you manage to quit or not quit smoking or any other addiction!

tbh snus held off the need to smoke. for me atleast, even dip (as much as i love my cope) i still wanted to have a smoke after i dipped. best way i've heard is to fine a reason to quit and stick to it.. e.i. gf, cancer, *****y wife.
p.s. quitter...

If you like nicotine try caffeine. More of an effect and less side effects.
And if you get enough without sleeping for a few days you get bullettime!!!

I'm a cigar smoker myself....bout one a day, much to the wifes chagrin.
I think of it this way....cigarettes are a habit and cigars are a pleasure. And yes...my GP thinks I'm an idiot. If it weren't raining outside right now....I'd be out smoking an Oliva.

Quite a few people I know quit smoking using the following method (isn't really a proper method, but it worked):
1) Get drunk, very drunk
2) Make sure to smoke at least a pack or two while drinking, the more the better, and the stronger the brand the better
3) Get no more than 2 hours sleep, wake up and have the hangover of your life
They woke up and never touched a cigarette again, the thought of it made them think of that wonderful feeling they had on that morning.

Bad Pleasures? That would be the industrial quantities of ale I drink every night.

This. I also drink lots of cheap red wine, preferably Magyar Edes V÷r÷s Bor.
Tons of cigarettes every day.
And the damn coffee. I quit coffee drinking for like 6 years, and now I've noticed I'm addicted to it again. And the effects of that devils liquid are not that pleasant. First I start to act like a hyperventilating paranoid alien on amphetamines, then after 1 hour I feel too tired to do anything.
Should smoke more weed probably.

The best way to quit is cold turkey, especially if you have someone close to you that can support you and keep you accountable. I was a pack and a half a day smoker and just stopped. The first 24 hours were brutal, but if you can find something to take your mind off the nicotine, the cravings go away after awhile. By the third day I didn't even crave a smoke.
Start taking the money you would be spending and put it in a jar, then go reward yourself with something you want with that money. Makes the whole process much easier.
The downside is I put on about 30lbs when I quit smoking.
