Liu Kaskakka PAK	Posted - 2007.10.06 16:42:00 - [13] Giving up Smoking has nothing to do with physical withdrawal symptoms and everything to do with keeping your hands busy. Get something to play with your hands and it'll be a walk in the park. King Liu is RIGHT!!
Caaone	Posted - 2007.10.06 17:28:00 - [14] All the best mate, interesting idea to get it in the open. I try but end up giving in by my thoughts, kinda gets quite sometimes and its easy to just say only one - one always means more. U need to refuse your own mind, might sound strange and obv i havent mastered it but...... I find waking up after a non smoking day to be kind of empty, a very strange realaity indeed, if i could give up right now and know i wouldnt have to jump over them small but difficult barriers then i will. i am a non smoker in the making ive been trying for years, so wish me luck aswell crayon......
Calderio Caldari Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.10.06 17:58:00 - [15] ive stopped for a week or so here and there, the longest ive stopped smoking has been 2 weeks. I think whats holding me back is that im not a quiter listen to me on bob radio, heavy metal, random babbling, and live forum coverage.

Get something to play with your hands and it'll be a walk in the park. Well that bit I've got covered. I've gone for the inhalater rather than gum or patches. It feels a bit silly at first but luckily no-one bats an eyelid around here so I don't feel self-conscious. I chose to go with this for exactly the reason you mentioned. Caaone, I've been exactly the same for at least the last six months, several times I've meant to quit but just given in, as you say one more always means more than one. It's got to the point where I've decided I need to stop playing at it and actually stick to quitting. The longest I've previously gone without is two weeks as well. I feel like each time I get a craving for a cigarette I have to fight this mini-battle with myself, so I know what you mean. I know I can beat it if I don't give in. I'll be a quitter yet! Thanks again for the support guys

I mean... aren't the words 'SMOKING KILLS' doing anything to deter people? basically you are paying to die quicker. and how smokers stand the smell.................) Anyways... rant over. Well done for the Right Choice. first -eris

Should you start to lose it and you find yourself unable to think of anything else than lighting a**** I can offer these words of wisdom that a friend of mine said to me when I gave up snus a while ago: You want one? Go ahead, please, have one. By all means, let yourself down like that, just forget about quitting. Or something like that. It helped me immensely, perhaps it'll work for you too.

I understand why people continue to smoke, I just don't understand why anyone would start nowadays. Cause most people like drugs :P. QFT. While I know nothing about this subject and this ~~may just be~~ is the insane ramblings of a somewhat peculiar young man (yours truly) I am inclined to agree. It is well known that drugs brings physical pleasure, but I think there's another side to it. We humans like new and/or different experiences, and drugs brings just that. While nicotine, caffeine and ethanol are the only drugs I've ever taken I know that my mind works differently under the influence of them (although the first two hardly counts), and I find I rather like it. Call me crazy, but whenever I'm totally stuck trying to tackle a difficult problem in, say, programming (or anything really) I either get drunk or play with sleep deprivation (luckily this happens exceedingly rarely, but it almost always works). Alcohol or sleep deprivation (as most people can tell you they don't mix very well) brings out a totally different way of thinking in me and I tend to come up with new and intriguing ideas. I think the brain simply recognizes this as a sometimes useful "tool" for data processing. It may not be a conscious urge or effect, but it's there. Umm... The point I'm trying to make, I think, is that the promise of a new experience is what brings us to drugs in the first place, and the effects on our minds is what makes us come back for more. And the state of physical well-being of course, but that's another topic. Some say that our affinity for drugs is a sad statement about the world we live in, but I chalk it up to human nature. We're curious and want to analyse information as thoroughly as possible, and by any means necessary for some of us. A degradation in theoretical performance doesn't necessarily mean worse results. By now I've realized that my reply makes no sense whatsoever (blame the tools I've mentioned above ) and that there's most likely good articles on the subject, but since I've already written it I might as well post it. Often have I pressed cancel after writing a lengthy rant, but not today! Feels a bit like flashing ones privates in public... Not that I would anything about that of course... Seriously.

Doctor Dre	Posted - 2007.10.08 04:33:00 - [32] Im in the middle of it right now. It sucks. First 2 days I could barely look at my co-workers as if they existed. When people said things to me I either didnt hear them or snapped back with some hostile remark and the crazy eye. 3rd day through 2 weeks I was eating more frequently but not more. Any time I craved one I just said to myself 'I dont want one right now' and would go find something to do. It has been working somewhat. I'm on just over a month now, and while the cold turkey thing hasnt worked Ive still cut back a LOT and not ripping the heads off the neighborhood pets. BTW Ive been smoking for 14 years, just over half my life, and for 6 years I was on 2 packs a day (newports! menthol ftw!).
Powder Monkey	Posted - 2007.10.08 13:15:00 - [33] Good luck chap- in case you may be wondering, 'am i going to hack it if i get the urge to smoke?', I found the book Allen Carr's Easy Way to quit smoking really helpful. Some may think it's worthless, but hey ho...
Thorliaron	Posted - 2007.10.08 17:14:00 - [34] i 'quit' on sunday night and promptly bought a pack of cigs and smoked them today, i did not even think about it i just went and bought them. BUT! iv offically quit now and there is no way im going back, i can feel the junk in my system
Blue Binary	Posted - 2007.10.08 19:06:00 - [35] I'm going to try again soonÖ. Managed to do cold turkey for 3 weeks before a "just one ciggy won't do any harm" moment...and back to square one. I felt physically ill taking it up again, just like the first time i started; that was 20 years ago. There are some good resources around: The effects of Nicotine Withdrawal. Don't pay for "advice", you can get free books & audio by a smoking cessation advisor here. Freedom from Tobacco gives you advice and a support forum. Good luck! ____________ Blue B⁫⁫⁫⁫inary
Rialtor Amarr Yarrrateers Mass Destruction.	Posted - 2007.10.08 19:14:00 - [36] Have you guys tried that acupuncture technique, or at least looked into it? They put like these needles in your ears, when you get the urge, you press them. Supposedly it relates the urge to smoke with pain and helps you get over having the urges. My friend used it to some success with weight loss, not sure if it would work for smoking, but it seems like a similiar principle. urge to eat, urge to smoke, etc.

Mr Jay Privateers Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.08 22:19:00 - [39] I stopped smoking in December last year and I've not touched one since. I went cold turkey. I just decided I didn't want to smoke anymore. It's hard, though. I sometimes still think that I could murder a cigarette. I've spoken to people about it and they've told me they stopped smoking 20/30/40 years ago and they still get the craving today. When I hear things like that, I think that as soon as I've achieved world domination and can lower the price of cigarettes, I'm going to start again. -----
Crayon Fusillade	Posted - 2007.10.09 01:11:00 - [40] Edited by: Crayon Fusillade on 09/10/2007 01:12:56 I'm very glad to report so far so good. I think the worst time was actually the evening I posted. I went to do a bit of shopping and sit in a cafe, I would always have a cig when I came out and walk to the station. That was only about 8 hours after my last smoke so it goes to show how much of addiction is habitual. I never used to smoke much in the mornings either, always in the evening so that time has tended to be hardest. I'm finding it very strange adjusting to being one of the non-smokers again. You see the smokers in the street and it's like you're not part of that group anymore. It's funny, actually seeing people smoke doesn't make me want to smoke at all. The whiffs of smoke do though. I have to say the inhalater has helped immensely. When I tried quitting before, I didn't like gum and the patches might as well not have been there. It's hard to describe the inhalater but I think I'm finding it working because the vapours leave a feeling similar to smoke and you can feel the nicotine hit, on top of that I've got something to hold and use that's vaguely similar to a cigarette. One funny thing is, whenever I used to use a public loo, I always used to wash my face after my hands to clean some of the smell off. Now I have to keep reminding myself that I don't have to do that anymore I also went out tonight and had a drink. Other people went outside for a smoke but the urge didn't really hit me. I'm very glad for the public smoking ban though, I supported it even as a smoker. I don't know if I could have got through tonight had there been people smoking around me. Thanks for responding those who've said they are quitting too. It means a lot to know I'm not the only one here, I thought I was for a while Also thanks for all the quitting advice and links. I will definitely check them out
Mekk Azal November Night Industries	Posted - 2007.10.09 09:03:00 - [41] Originally by: Crayon Fusillade As of right now. Anyone want to join me? Anyone in the middle of quitting? Heh.. No your not. None escapes the fury of the smokes. None.
Morion Hakata Caldari Hakata Group Blade.	Posted - 2007.10.09 09:58:00 - [42] Good luck, I hope you'll succeed. I've managed to quit a few times, but it never lasted. I started again a week ago after being smoke-free for one and a half month. I thought I would actually quit this time. Hopefully you'll do better.
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.10.09 10:25:00 - [43] I think I am the weirdest outlier on smoking issues. I had my first "puff" at age of 5 or so, my grandfather was a chainsmoker and thought it would be funny to let me have a puff... I think I actually puked, don't recall, way too long ago, and my parents screamed at him for hours, that much I'm sure of. Later on, I think in 3rd grade (so, about age 10), I bought a pack of cigarettes, smoked one of them, left the pack on the kitchen table... parents came home "who visited us", me, "nobody", they "so who left the cigarettes here", me "they're mine"... needless to say, I got a very good beating that day. Restarted smoking somewhere in late 12th grade (almost aged 18 then), mostly casual smoking, at parties and such only, got really ill at the prom (combined effect of getting wasted drinking plus smoking one full pack of cigarettes), haven't touched any until 3rd year at the University, even if most colleagues were heavy smokers. Then, in 3rd Uni year, started smoking "for good" myself... so, that makes what, almost 9 years now ? Yeah, about right, almost 9 years. I quit smoking for a while because I was short on cash and didn't want to waste money on cigarettes. I quit smoking for a while because I was out on some trip in remote locations and didn't bring enough cigarettes with me. I quit smoking for a while because my girlfiend hated the smoke scent. I've "quit" smoking (each time only for a while, longest I can rememeber was 3 months) for the weirdest possible reasons, but NEVER because I WANTED to stop smoking, just because I had to. I never had any serious issues "quitting" like that, probably because I was very determined to RESTART smoking at a later date. I only restarted smoking each and every time when I restarted going into places where people smoked heavily... never before. Each and every time I quit smoking was accompanied by a "quit drinking coffee" thing too. The worst case of "tobacco smoke and/or coffein withdrawal" I ever had was after a few periods of heavy (and I mean HEAVY, like 2-3 packs a day average) smoking and then "cold turkey" quits (again, one of those "no cigarettes in the area" issue). Within a couple of days, I started feeling very nauseaous, having liver-and-or-stomach-area pains/cramps/whatever... which stopped almost instantly (15-20 mins) after I had a smoke and a cup of coffee (first I thought I actually had ulcer or somesuch, the pain was quite atrocious). Whenever I quit after a "mild" smoking recent past, I never had any of those issues... at worst in those cases it was a mild case of drowsiness/sleepiness, and a minor craving... never much more. So, if you DO plan on quitting... don't fool yourself you can quit for good and easily. First, reduce the cigarette use to less than half a pack per day, cut down cofee almost completely while you do the "nicotine reduction" thing. THEN, and only then, quit smoking "cold turkey", for a fixed period of time. After a month, you should be pretty ok and not NEED to smoke nor drink coffee at all. Be warned though, you might as well restart at any given minute. Problem is, do you REALLY want to quit ? Decide that after that month of "pause". You'll "get there" a lot easier if you tell yourself you WILL be able to restart smoking and drinking cofee then. At least you will be in the best place to make a choice right then and there, if you actually quit for good, or it was just a "detox break". _ 1\|2\|3
Mr Jay Privateers Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.09 16:31:00 - [44] I found the hardest part of quitting is when you're watching a film on TV or something. You get so far into the movie, then it's time for the adverts. You need to occupy yourself for that 3/4 minute period by doing something constructive (ie scratching a hole in the arm of your sofa) to avoid going for a smoke. -----
Thuul'Khalat Gallente Phoenix Wing Acheron Federation	Posted - 2007.10.09 16:44:00 - [45] I've just started week 3 without cigs \o/ --- Do YOU have what it takes?
An Anarchyyt Gallente Sublime.	Posted - 2007.10.09 16:58:00 - [46] I think that cold turkey is really the best way to go. The psychological addiction might be a ***, but you can't really forget the physical part. If you use the patch or gum or whatever, you are still feeding that physical addiction. As opposed to not doing anything for 72 hours, and the physical addiction is as broken as it is going to get. Then you of course, have the mental to deal with, and then you can just use normal gum, a bandaid patch, hypnosis, *, I don't know.

Unvisibility	Posted - 2007.10.10 16:20:00 - [51] Good luck crayon. I'm about 48 hours into a quit myself atm. I smoke for maybe 2-3 months per year, in 2-3 week bursts... I only smoke, er, "special" ciggies and when I run out of the stuff that makes them special I stop again. But I do smoke them with tobacco, so I get nicotine hooked when I have stuff. Used to be a full time smoker, 15-30/day, finally managed to kick it about 5 years ago. Took me a couple of years before I could risk what I do now. Couple of things: 1) The urge for a smoke only lasts 2-3 minutes. When the urge strikes just distract yourself for a bit. 2) Nicotine replacement therapy (patches) etc work well but ONLY if you use them properly. They work by replacing the pulsatile spike of nicotine you get from a smoke with a low, steady dose. Good luck :)

If you have people supporting you (significant other, children, friends, etc.), apologize to them frequently as chances are you will be a major PITA. I was a pack a day smoker for 18 years until I decided to quit around May, 05. I decided to quit cold, no meds, no therapy, etc. It was about 4 months before my personality returned to some semblance of normalcy. My wife said I was a right bastard during that time. I'll have a good cigar 3 or 4 times per year, but no more cigarettes or pipe smoking. kieron Director of Community Relations, EVE Online EVE Online, CCP Games Email/Netfang Look Ma, I'm in a Dev thread!

CCP Whisper	Posted - 2007.10.11 02:32:00 - [57] Good luck! I quit back in February by going cold turkey. Decided that the pack in my pocket would be my last and actually made a point of looking at the last cig and telling myself that it would be my last. Never actually finished smoking it either...a good third landed in the ashtray. I haven't actually missed the act of smoking, probably because the smoking ban in Iceland means that all the places I used to associate with smoking are now smoke-free so the temptation is less. Keep it up and get through the process of breaking out of your rituals. That is the hardest part. One thing that made quitting a lot easier was also the work atmosphere here. In my last place of work smoking entitled you to go off for a five minute cig break at any time...non-smokers were trapped at their desks. Smoking kept me sane. No need to stay sane at CCP.

You need to be strong and keep telling yourself why you wanna quit - Health, economy, being annoying to others and such. Basicly the same thing with eve :P So stop smoking and play more eve BTW I failed quiting eve after about 6 months... have been an almost fulltimer eve'r for over a year now... But keep up the good work __________________________________________________ Flying and building for Sign up now

I will take a drag and say to myself "Wow, I really don't want this." Then I give the cigarette back to whoever I took it from and I am good. This Space for Rent.
