    I quit smoking about an hour ago. I'm thinking of starting it again in a few minutes.

    But seriously. Well done! I know it's difficult to quit (lord knows I've tried!). How's the cold turkey method working for you?

    watch out for drinking. my friends who've quit say that's the time they want a butt most.
    This, I can confirm. Nevertheless it can be done without giving up drinking as well, so there still are some small comforts .

    Joking aside, good for you! Don't kid yourself, it will be tough, but you can do it.

    one friend of mine quit smoking and about six months later, went back. when i asked him why, he said he realized he was drinking a whole lot more. he did start rolling his own, though, and doesn't smoke as much as he used to.

    I know three people who have gone cold-turkey and succeeded. It can definitely be done, so good luck to you, and enjoy a smoke-free life!

    Wish you the best of luck, its tough i know. I have a friend whose tried it several times, only 19 years old and has been smoking since 12, ICK! Im hella glad i never got into it. He sounds awful and at the rate he's going will be dead in a few years (very sad really), he's tried but its not easy for him, hopefully you have more success, good luck!
