Should i quit smoking with three in the pack or finish them?

because it might be easier to quit with something then being cut off
right?

 

Smoke that shit mate, feels good .

 

If you want to quit then do it. It's much better for your health, but as far as how to? I'm not sure. Maybe just smoke less and less and until you can go for a while without smoking. I'm pretty sure stopping cold turkey can be bad, depending how much you smoke and how often.

 

A good way to quit is try and limit the amount of smoke every day. You can start exercising that strategy by rationing your pack of smokes.

For example, if there is 20 in a pack and you want to smoke 3-4 per day instead of a half-pack or whatever you are currently smoking, try diving up the pack into a bunch of "mini-packs" with only 3-4 cigarettes, and lock the other ones away. Those can be your daily cigarettes, and every day you grab another pack of 3-4 smokes. Over time, this will greatly reduce your consumption of the tobacco & niccotine, and you will be able to reduce even further, or try to flat out quit.

Quitting smoking at a young age vs. quitting in adulthood, has an astronomical amount of health benefits. Just don't give up! It often takes people many tries to succeeed, so if you fail don't get discouraged! Good luck!

 

^^^ Very good idea, It would definitely help you cut down but if you want to STOP then it's all a matter of will-power.

You'll try convince yourself to smoke; "one couldn't hurt", "Today ill finish my pack then tomorrow I'll have none." etc etc, you just need to realize when this is happening and mentally squash it.

I find Needing to need to quit helps. Start doing exercise that requires heavy breathing; running, squash, swimming. This way you actually need to adapt.

Contentment is the enemy of invention.

I bet you can't run for 10 mins consistently /motivation

tl;dr, Gradually do something your lungs can't handle until you can. run hard.

 

A good way to prevent smoking is to put No Smoking signs everywhere you smoke. It psychologically makes you realize you can't smoke. If not, the best idea is to get someone to hide your stash; when someone else controls it, you have an easier time resisting the temptation.

 

My brother cold turkied it for like ~3 days and now he doesn't smoke. Seeing as you said you want to quit, so there's some motivation. I suggest you either:

1. Quit gradually like mentioned
2. Cold turkey

Sorry I can't be of any more help I don't smoke Here is a calculator of costs too http://smokefree.nhs.uk/quit-tools/calculate-the-cost/. You can also check the other quit smoking links. Good luck

 

Best way to quit smoking, one of my friends where I used to work did this. He just stopped buying them, very simple but it is the basis for it all. You don't buy them, no cigarettes = no smoking. Yes you will go through withdrawal, you'll have to deal with that as it comes. Just try not to pick up any bad habits to keep you from smoking like biting your nails or something.

 

Thats a lie I smoke and am a tad overweight and I can do this.

 

2-4 blunts a day too keep the cigs away, is how i worked quitting cold turkey and lemme tell ya, id give cigs away for bud anyday.

i started smokin at like 13 and im 18 now and am just quitting, i still have an occasional smoke or 2 when im drinkin or with a bunch of buddys but thats it, 2 smokes once a week at most usually or none at all, quitting cold turkey was hard as shit, i was in a fuck off dick face mood for like 2 days then the fiending stopped for like 4 -5 days and then it came back lol, but still it was worth it, quitting by depriving yourself of smokes in small amounts isnt the best, since youll more than likely just relapse and keep smoking.

 

Squakinman is correct. Dr. Mary does help immensly with the withdraw.. I could have gotten as far as I am without her. Nicotine is the one and only thing i have ever been addicted to...Its not a good feeling when it in a way dictates your day..

 

I saw in a book "each time you smoke, you loose 5 minutes of life",
I would rather stop smoking instead of getting into severe problems.

 

way i look at it, i dont tend too die of old age, maybe at 60-70 but if i aint pathetically rich i want too go out doing somthing i love doing like longboarding going 70+ mph or doing 180 on the quarter mile etc.

but yeah i couldnt stand spending $8-16 a day on 1-2 packs of smokes when i didnt even have a job and when i did i was doing 2 cartons a week, 2-3 packs a day...

it feels great not creating your day around bumming smokes and spending the only money you got on useless cigs, i started smoking mainly because of depression and anxiety, they help when you got them for sure, but in the end its not worth it and just ends up adding onto your problems, eventually even health issues.

 

Go buy 10 pacs then put them in a bucket then fill the bucket with water...

trust me that works, I done it to one of my mates... Yeah he tryed to fight me and yeah he didnt talk to me for like 3 weeks. But he doesnt smoke any more....

 

No, I've tried quitting a number of times and said, oh this is my last ciggarette. Then the next one is my last, then the one after that. If you want to quit, jus don't do it. I myself DON'T want to quit, so I jus keep smoking.
Eating jolly ranchers or hard candy can help with quitting.
Replace an old habit wit a new one.
