So here's the deal. I graduated yesterday and now I want to quit smoking. The last time I smoked a cigarette is about 16 hours ago. It's difficult, I know it might sound ridiculous to you but it feels as if every part of my lungs scream for smoke. It's an undescribable desire. Maybe a bit like hunger or thirst, but different. Does anyone have some tips for me to succeed? cause at this rate, it won't be long before I'm tempted so much that I'll litteraly sprint to the store to buy some .

Quitting cold turkey is rough, but Congratulations on your resolve! I quit a couple months ago with the help of E-cigs. Some people are addicted to the oral fixation (hand to mouth like eating or smoking) the e-cig takes care of that but another trick is to inhale deeply through a straw and hold you breath for several seconds. That help calm the urge also.

some people distract themselves from smoking by gorging down on desserts

[quote] dreamglaze : some people distract themselves from smoking by gorging down on dessssserts [/quote] That's how you get fat, don't do it. What I suggest is the LOLXD-1337 method a.k.a. the get-help-from-a-professional-method.

Find some destructive / extremely entertaining / fun and distracting thing to do. Throw soda pop cans at a fence and watch them go kabloooey. Water balloon fights for a week with friends. Do fun stuff.

Find something to distract you good with. Play very addicting video games and maybe do physical activities to distract yourself. Also, I got this from a quit smoking vid, suck on a lollipop every time you have the desire to smoke and have a lot of willpower. Whatever you do, DO NOT GIVE IN.

Do you want to lower your chance to get lung cancer or not? If the answer is yes, than keep on resisting.
