The cancer stick that is.
I made it about 6 weeks before I caved.  Oh well. Back to pissing off the non-smokers...

After six weeks I find it hard to believe that you caved to cravings.
Did you make a conscious decision to start smoking again? |

No, it was more a vicious craving. Not the kind of craving where you want a cig, But the kind of craving where you wake up from a dead sleep in a cold sweat and cannot live without a cigarette that lasted for better than an hour before I caved. Talkin to the my doc about zyban on Tuesday. I quit because I was pissed off about the smoking policy they were working on at work. When I ran outta spite, I ran out of the desire to quit. I know I have to quit. But I LOVE TO SMOKE. |

The physical addiction to nicotine is broken after 72 hours. That's how long it takes the nicotine to completely work it's way out of your system.
I had quit for over a year until this past May. |

Yeah--I went the patch route. 6 weeks is the drop to the 7mg patches. But the good news is that instead of 2 and a half packs of Camel filters a day, I'm down to about a half pack of ultra-lights. |

G_T,
I quit for ten weeks ten years ago. After a month I told my bride I wanted to resume smoking. She said "Hang in there. Give it a little longer". After ten weeks I said I was going to start again. She said OK with no hesitation. I was a bitch with balls. Even my daughters were more comfortable with me smoking than putting up with my bad nicotine-free attitude. Hopefully someday we both can kick the habit but I'm not counting on it. Others: please don't flame (no pun intended) me or try to analyze why I love smoking. |

Yeah, that's me. I tend to border on asshole anyway, and the lack of nicotine was tipping the scales towards outright surly...I was gonna tough it out until the waking up sweating thing. |

Maybe you should just use Copenhagen snuff instead.
 You can chew where you can't smoke & spitting in their trash cans & on the ground will be way worse for them than breathing a little second hand smoke.

Nah, chew is fuggin nasty! Ten minutes in the open air, and you can't tell someone was smoking, but a puddle of peach scented spit is fucking NASTY! Besides, I'd rather lose a lung than my lower jaw..

If it were just an addiction I think I would have successfully quit long ago. For me its more the habit than the addiction part. Waiting for meal at a restaraunt, cigarette, finish a meal, cigarette, drink a beer, cigarette, get in the car cigarette... etc etc etc I have tried to quit before and never noticed any of the typical physical symtpoms of withdrawal, shaking, iritibality, etc but just can't stop wanting one at certain times where I normally would have one. |

Don't sweat it. Your master is nicotene, bow to him.
Some people just can't die quick enough. They run headlong towards a beaconing death. |
