Alright,
I need some advice about Tobacco addiction from somebody with experience, please.
No people who have a vague idea how to quit.
Proper advice.
I’m 15, and I have become hooked on cigarettes.
I heard, that it’s best to beat the addiction early on, so I am starting now.
I don’t want this to affect my sports and I’d appreciate advice on how to go about quitting.
Do I just not smoke till cravings go?
Thanks.

Be a man and tough it out, force yourself to watch other people smoke and let yourself be reminded on how good it is!
...or you could get some nicotine patches...

Just go cold turkey.
Just dont smoke, thats as simple as it can be.
The 3 day hump is hard to get over from what I hear. Every time you get a craving go for a run, or lift some weights.

Whenever I go out there’s smokers.
I’ve been smoke-free since yesterday morning.
It’s weird how you notice every little thing to do with cigarettes on TV or whatever.
Anyone know how long till cravings go?

I don’t own a playstation, ha..
I have a weights set though.
I’ll do what Clegg said,
Run or work out.
I noticed I started chewing straws and pencils alot...
But I’m training for a Javelin competition coming up,
and last month, I was a wreck, literally.
Coughing and shit as soon as I started warming up.

Alot of times when people smoke, they smoke at certain times of the day or while they’re doing certain things.
Like I smoke while on the phone, or right when I wake up, or on breaks at work.
So if I was going to quit, I would find other things to occupy myself with at those times so I don’t have a cigarette. You should try to do the same. Like if you smoke while in a friend’s car, do something else with your hands to take your mind off it.

the nicotine addition is over in three days, but the psychological adiction takes around three weeks.
you have to keep on reminding yourself why you stopped. don’t try patches bec I know ppl who got adicted to those.
GOOD LUCK!!!

Quote: The psychological addiction is the tough one.
Too true.
When I get shit faced I have to be smoking cigarettes, I dont know why though. The psychological addiction is going to get me, I know it.
Like right now, Im surfing the internet (as usual) and I want a cigarette right now, and I have a full pack sitting right next to me.
I’ve also grown up in a cigarette enviroment since I was a child, as both my parents smoke. It’s a pain in the ass when you try to quit and you live in a smokey enviroment.
A good portion of my friends smoke cigarettes, so Im going to try to get atleast one of my close friends to stop smoking with me.
Im quitting because of the money. I really dont have the cash to be smoking, hell the pack sitting right next to me I got for free. I barely support my habbit, Im always bumming them off of friends, it sucks.

I like chew too much, so Im telling my self that I dont like it.
I’ve dipped like at most 20-30 times, and I’ll only do it if I really need a smoke and Im at school...But Im done high school so there is no need for me to dip.

(Got this off of Dodgeball...)
Get an electrical thing with two alligator clips that can shock you, and put them on your nipples, the put a pack on the table and every time you try two open the pack, shock yourself.
