How is smoking homosexual?  Grow up or don't comment, we don't need to be subjected to your immature attitude.

Here's how you stop - don't have a cigarette.  When you want one, don't have one.  The cravings only really last for a few minutes.  After  a few days they're not so bad.  Nicotine will be out of your body in 2 or  3 weeks.  After that its all psycological.  You might as well stop now.  Every day you smoke - it gets harder to quit.  I'm 36 and recently quit.  I can't believe I smoked until I was 36.  So stupid.  I remember smoking cigarettes in the boys room in high school....believe me it goes quick.  

So there's only 2 options really - 1 is you smoke and dont' ever quit you literally smoke until you die - which will then happen much sooner b/c you smoke (not to mention you will probably live for years in misery with serious health issues from smoking which is almost worse then dieing) and #2 - you stop smoking.  If you stop smoking the question is when?  When you are 25, 30, 40, 50?  Who knows when it is too late.  And what is the point really?  Is it actually 'enjoyable' - no, it just gives you the nicotine you need b/c you started smoking and injected nicotine into your body.  

Once I finally realized this it has been easy to quit, actually enjoyable.  I'm not a slave to cigarettes anymore.  If you keep a good attitude it will be easy for you to quit too.  Be happy and excited you quit and feel bad for those people who didn't yet.  Nicotine is a drug just like any other drug - when you think about it its really unnatural and unnecessary.

I agree, my one ciggi a day led back to my 1 packet a day over aperiod of a year, I wish the one a day could have been. but 14 days  and I havnt had a puff. I want one every time I socialize because that was my  trigger.
I lost all my upper teeth due to gum disease associated with smoking. every day I struggle with eating  with plastic on the roof of my mouth.
I guess people forget about oral cancer and how ugly you look on the outside with out teeth and half your jaw bone missing. 1 day is certianly as dangerous as a pack a day. you are just not getting as mush tar so quickly but you rblood is till clotting and rotting your gums.

I think smoking one a day is harmful. That's 31 a month. Or 365 a year. It's harmful no matter how much you smoke.

Im 17 years old, and I'm getting addicted to smoking. I really want to quit, because as you guys have said it will only cause many sickness worse is death, I can't seem to control it because you know my friends are smokers and they love to drink and then smoke a lot. So it's on my community and it happened that I was also influenced. So how do I stop it?
