Bro, I just quit smoking about 1 1/2 years ago after smoking for about 8 years about 2 packs/day. I went through some of the same problems with drinking and weed and such and quit that a few years back too. I can tell you how I quit smoking. I woke up one day and made my mind to just not touch another smoke. You have to do it one day at a time, and just tell yourself that you will not smoke today and everyday you will feel better and better and think less and less about smoking. Try this Im telling you after about 2 weeks you will not even want a smoke. Good luck

buddy you just have to do it. My brother smoked a pack a day, and my wife smoked too, and after hanging out with me and the health lifestyle I have been leading both of them quit. Both of them went cold turkey, and never touched it again.....easier said than done but, "JUST DO IT"...i bet you your cardio will improve dramatically...best of luck

You can find homeopathic nicotine in disolving tabs at many heath food stores and vitamin stores. They seemed to work for a lot of people when I had my store....I sold lots of them....Even GNC carries them....its diluted nicotine just like the patch or gum.....but it costs MUCH less. Give them a try.

if you rely only on will power you will fail. nicotine is just way to addictive. go to a doctor and get zyban(wellbutrin) it's an SNRI. the shit works great, plus it makes you feel good. it stops the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine in certain parts of the brain which gives you that high feeling or sense of well being you get from nicotine. nicotine being a stimulant causes the release of these chemicals when you use it, which is why it is so addicting. use the nicotine gum the first few weeks because the zyban can take a few weeks to become effective.

i'm not saying you don't need will power....just don't think it's all you need. some people maybe, but nicotine is a powerful drug.

I quit in January. Used the patch and it worked great.

I'm a non smoker but i remember seeing John Clease on a TV anti smoking campain, he quit by doing the following:

Get an emtpy jar, fill it a third full of nub ends and then half filled it with water. Every time you get a craving shake the jar, then open it and smell the contents.
The smell kept putting him off smoking.

Good luck.
