Check out this site if you are really serious about quitting smoking.

Smokefree.gov

Remember this is a gaming forum and you should see a professional for help.

Well it seems to be going alright. When I get the urge to smoke I tend to just run it off. Seems to be working. If I'm in class drumming on my books and chewing on pen caps seems to help or if it gets really bad I tend to ask my teacher if I can go to the washroom and run down the halls.

/me shrugs. I guess I'm just replacing the habit.

Try visiting a doctor and talk to him or her about Chantix it really works I went from 2 packs a day to done in 7 days.

My mom took it a few months back and said she would rather die of lung cancer than feel as sick as that stuff made her. Also on one of my past manly manual labor jobs they forbid you from taking chantix because someone who was taking it blacked out on the job and seriously injured himself.

I'm not sure about chantix, we've talked about this before on it. It seems to have some... unwanted side effects.

I've taken it with no side effects whatsoever, maybe its just me.

I can't afford to smoke. So I don't. Good luck to those that want to quit, though. I know it's hard!
