I'm not clueless. Far from it. I'm telling you the truth. When you want to quit you will quit and you will not crave it because you don't want it. Till then you will blame it on an addiction.
Which it is.
The key to the whole thing is you have to want to quit. Then you will kick the addiction's butt instead of the other way around.

True, but I have known people with other substance problems - alcohol, cocaine, sleeping pills, pain pills, etc. - and none of them had the difficulty breaking the cycle of their addiction that folks have with quitting tobacco. I've never known a heroin addict, though; I assume that that is harder to kick.

Yes, of course that is absolutely true because every human is exactly the same in the mind. :roll::happyno:

I don't smoke.
I am glad for you that you were able to quit just by telling yourself to stop. That is great, my wife was able to do so as well.
But I know someone as sharp as you does not think everyone is built the same.

This thread started out well intentioned and there have been a lot of good posts ( Curtiss, I am glad you are okay), but I gotta say:
I see only one path for its continuation.

Ha! Well I opened the thread for a certain reason, to help people (and to see if I could draw a comment from Ryan Jackson since he is never on here anymore). I will say I felt like I did that through PMs from some folks who asked me questions.
A middle-aged man goes to see his doctor, very concerned because his older friend just had a heart attack.
Man: "Doctor, if I give up racing cars, scuba diving, and skydiving, will I live longer?"
Doctor: "Perhaps..."
Man: "How about I give up the rich foods and wine? Will that help?"
Doctor: "Probably..."
Man: "Ok, what if I give up all the hot young girls and partying all night? Will I live to be 80?"
Doctor: "Yes... but why would you want to?"
:lol:
I hope this gets the tone of the thread back on track.
To those who have given up the smoking (with or without the e-cig), good for you! I am thankful that I never had any desire to smoke. My father did and I hated it. I got in trouble many times for hiding his cigarettes or flushing them down the toilet. One 4th of July when I was about 12yo, I put a "load" in his cigarette and it popped in his face. He was not amused.

Ha! That is funny. One thing I can say I've never smoked a single puff in front of my son. (He's 9 now)
I vowed that whatever I may do or cannot do.... I would never influence him to do something I think is bad for him (or me).... Never in life. Not even a curse word.
