Last year at this time I was down to four cigarettes a day. Now I'm lucky if I can make a pack last me two days. I need to quit!!!!! Been smoking too many years and that's playing the odds and setting myself up to lose.

I'M IN, TOO!!!!

Just me....LS

I justify smoking just like pills,, I was all set to quit the other day but saw a man that looked about 80 something standing in front of a senior center having a smoke and thought what the heck ,,,why quit lol. I"m with you choo, more then a pack a day. A friend quit 8 mos ago useing a laser technique, it was 275.00, dont know about insur.

OK, I am a former 30-40 cig a day smoker. Smoked for 25 years. Tried numerous times to quit. Have not smoked now for almost 5 years. Sounds silly....but start making a little mark on your pack with a pen every single time you light up. Do NOTHING else but smoke that cig. No phone, no pc, nothing at all to distract the smoking of that cig. If you smoke 25 today....you can smoke the same the next day and the next, ect....but NEVER 26. You will find that you HATE to make those marks on your pack as it feels like you are giving yourself "bad marks"! Then you'll see you're at 20 one day....and again, now you cannot go over that 20 so you start to really pay attention to when you're smoking. In my case, once I got down to 8 a day I could not seem to go below without being witchy. Oh, also, make them inconvenient to get to. Such as having them in the trunk so you have to pull over and get one out instead of reaching in your pocket or purse.Or leave them all at the office at night except the few you are going to ration during the day. Another great trick.....we all know the best part of a $100 meal is the cig after it. So, start out making yourself wait 5 minutes before you lite up. Then 10 min, you get the idea. Before long you'll realize you're plopped in front of the TV and have not had your usual ciggy! Now, I know you can't always do this part, but we went on a cruise when I got down to 8 a day. No driving, no phone, no pc...none of the usual places and things that make you reach for a cig. I have not smoked since. BEST OF LUCK! Jackie
