Yes,
Skoal is hard to smoke, that should help.

GL ATG. Wish you the best on kicking the habit.
Well, blue cheese is just nasty so you'll probably die from the horrible taste before it clogs your veins. My theory is I'd rather die a bit early and have enjoyed some of the small things in life - artery-clogging red meat and desserts especially.Kmarion wrote:

I think I am going to die at some point in the future.
I know it will happen to me as well as the other guy.

Tobacco may be considered self murder, but so is being willing to live within a smog-infested city.

Bubblegum. I've never smoked, but most people I know who've quit said it helps.ATG wrote:

True. Smoking is habitual, mostly because of the repetitive nature. You generally adapt an oral fixation. My friend (someone bluntly) said that he quit by orally pleasing his girlfriend more. Whatever works. Gum, sunflower seeds, anything you can do with your mouth for extended periods of time.im4confederacy wrote:

Good luck, buddy. Hate to see you dead.

Freewill is what has a person using tobacco. Bad comparison.
But thanks for the tips.
NEVER!!!
I cannot quit. I keeps me sane.

I'll grant I'm not a smoker, but even so I'd suggest not trying cold turkey. Apart from the fact that all the experts seem to say it's much less likely to work, it can be dangerous. Keep in mind that you aren't still smoking them because you like them, you're doing it because you're addicted, and suddenly removing the drug from the system can be dangerous. Use something like nicorette.
One of these (no, it's not a spliff) helped me:
In the UK you can nicotine inhalation cartridges on prescription for about 10% of the normal price... don't know how it works in America though...
The good bit is you can even use them were you can't smoke. So I broke the habit of stopping whatever I'm doing for 15 minutes every couple of hours to go out and smoke.... get loads more done.... been a good couple of years since I quit.

Incidentally I have a buddy who gave up on cigarettes by weening himself off using snuff.
That's like getting off weed using heroin!CameronPoe wrote:

I quit smoking on New Years, and save for a few when I was drunk I have kept it up. The only time I really want a cig is after a big meal, and every once in a while after a nice spliff.
Every single person I know who has quit has just really wanted to quit......
you can spot those that dont really want to quit a mile off....
- reason given for quiting "someone else said....." or "my girlfireind thinks I should..."
- delaying the quit..... "Im stoping the end of the month...." or "I cant stop on a weekend"
- those that dont really quit... "its a party...." or "I gona get so drunk in a moment I wont be able to stop myself..."
- abuse of quitting aids.... my boss every time (but the last) had gum, patches, lots of strong coffee and still had the odd failure fag.
If you really want too youll do it (not saying it will be easy for a few months) - all the best with it!

I have seen this stuff in some local stores called bacc-stop. Here is the link for it if you are interested. http://www.dipstop.com/ Its made from mint or tea leaves.
Wish you all the luck there, ATG. I quit chewing Copenhagan...
12 times.
Finally got off it a year and a half ago...haven't chewed it since.
But now I chew the cheap, generic stuff
It's tough quitting but I found what worked the best and lasted the longest for me was when I went on Zyban (trade name for Welbuterin, sp?). That route kept me off for over a year. Then I fell of the damn wagon...again. Like usmarine, my dentist can't tell I chew, but he knows and gives me an earfull every visit. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to quit...but yes, I'm a weak bastard. 20+ years is a hard habit to break.

For all those people who think that smoking pot is better than ciga's think again. Pot has about twice as much shit in it than a ciga does plus it fuck s up your reflexes.
Good luck ATG, I realy hope ypu get off them easily.

Yeah thats it... smoke some weed... its much better for you... and totally legal... well possibly in Denver...
Go for it man,cold turkey and a pack of lollies/gum etc should work..hang on,just lighting one up..cough-cough,i quit for 8 mnths going cold turkey,but alas a stupid argument with the missus and i was straight down the shop to buy smokes=IDIOT I AM!!!
My point is,u can do it,but just watch for those emotional etc triggers,they are the hard times to not revert to old habbits.

EXCUSE ME...wtf are u on to be saying that shit,POT has a high tar content (not being filtered does not help) true,but dont ever say pot has more shit in it than cigs,because most people are well aware that there are over 4000 different chemicals in cigs,and let me tell u mate,u dont want to know what alot of them are!!Invaderzim wrote:
