Yer avatar is next... I´ll do them at the same time...

Scion... I spent US$375 on it... for the full 3 months treatment... but if you take a closer look, you´ll see it´s not that expensive... for instance, I smoke a 20cigs pack a day... they cost around US$2,50 in here... I spend US$75 a month with cigarettes... so, the price i paid for Champix is equivalent to 5 months smoking... not buying it because it´s expensive is an illusion, once you´ll save a lot of money AFTER you quit smoking... well... it´s just a way of seeing it... made me feel better for spending that much on it...

GOOD LUCK! YOU'LL NEED IT!
my grandpa quit cigarettes after 50 years of smoking .... he didn't take any pills ..he started chewing gum's instead of smoking cigars ... try that ... or something else..don't take pills ..

Good luck, my friend.

I gave up the smoke about three years ago. Wasn't hard to do... I just don't have sex anymore.

So it´s just like marriage, huh?

well....not that painful.

haha! Actually, I lit a smoke at about 10 am after a hard day's night of partying... tasted like crap, so I threw it away. That was it. Haven't felt like smoking since.

If you want to quit for real, go to the drugstore and buy a $3 bottle of charcoal pills, the first thing that happens is detoxification, it makes the body reject more toxins, so you'll have less urge to smoke, at the very least you'll detoxify you rotten bastard!

and when you die of loung Cancer you will make a great Bar-Be-Que bricket,

What a glow he'd make...

You can do it!!!

That's supportive
YOU CAN DO IT! GO ARC!

Never smoked. But my dad did - pack a day kinda guy - and when we were kids it was still cool to smoke in the house.

I was rather messed up by the smoke (apparently I was "allergic" to it, though I can't imagine what NOT being allergic must mean - after all it is a TOXIC CLOUD OF POISON at the very least) so after decades of smoking my dad finally quit. He did a thing called "smoke enders" and it was a "group therapy" thing. Which is REAL funny as my dad didn't believe in "therapy". But damn if it didn't work and he quit right on schedule and never looked back. It really changed his life and his, until then, shitty attitude.

Me? After breathing his shitty 2nd hand smoke for almost a decade and a half? Well, it was too late for me - the mental damage had been done. The good news is YOU ALL GET TO BENEFIT FROM THAT EVERY DAY HERE AT PSC

GO AHEAD ARC. DO IT. I DARE YA!!!!!!

I never had the courage to take up smoking. But soon after we got together, Mrs. Tarmac quit her 10 year habit. She did it by adopting a slow, gradual reduction from one pack a day, down to one pack a week, then down to two cigarettes a day, and then she just quit. It wasn't easy, and it wasn't fun (for either of us) but it was definitely worth it.

Good luck Arc, maybe after you're done, you can go after the cig companies for a piece of that 5 Billion they'll have owed you.

I smoked for 12 years and finally decided to quit when my daughter was born. If you've smoked for a long time I can tell you the hardest part is not going to be the chemical addiction.

The greatest challenge to beat are the psychological habits you've developed during your time as a smoker -- that cigarette break at work, that smoke in the car on the way to work or on the way home (or both), etc. There are certain times that you'll feel like you want a smoke -- and its not always because of a chemical thing -- its just 'that time.'This will be really noticable because you've got the pill.

Anyway best way to fight this is with gum of some kind. The weakest kind of nicotine gum helps, because it makes the urge go away.

Good luck

I wanted to wish you luck.

I quit about a month and a half ago, and it's definitely worth it.

Best advice: Chew a lot of sugar-free gum.

sure, give up a venom and take on another...aspartame kills
