Im quitting smoking.

Hello everyone,

Well as you may or may not know, probably the latter, I am a smoker. I am 15 years of age and I've been smoking since I was 13. Due to alot of shit happening in my life right now, I have become somewhat of a heavy smoker, smoking 10-15 cigarettes a day. But now I have made the conscious decision to quit.

My 'quit date' is the 26th of October. This is because my 16th birthday is on the 26th of November, and I'll have been smoke-free for a month by that date if I manage to pull it off.

I don't expect that I'll be able to stop smoking entirely during this month - I'll probably still be having one every couple of days or so - but I think this will be a fair achievement.

Depending on whether I remember or not, I'll keep this thread up to date about how I'm going etc.

Feel free to post questions or suggestions or whatever on this thread too.

Cheers all,
James aka Pancakes.

Wow, Great! :) It is hard, but you will pull though it, and will like how your 'new' body feels :D

Wow man thats not good for your body.....im glad your quitting good luck.

Lol I thought you were quitting SRL :rolleyes:.

Good luck and just a bit of advice - once you make it to one month, why not make it two then three, possibly four, after that why not half a year then make it to your 17th smoke-free then...

Smoking kills....ever seen those pictures on the cigarette packets? :p

Good for you :)

Smoking since age thirteen? Wow :|

I will forever encourage your in your endeavor here.

Lol the title was supposed to attract attention :p

Big props to you mate, it's best to quit as early as you can. I personally have never been a smoker but both of my parents are and neither of them have quit yet even thou they they seen what smoking can do to a person when my dads dad died. Best of luck mate and I hope you stick it out.

Smoking is not cool. I lost my grandpa to it.

Also, it is illegal to smoke in a car that contains minors. I am hoping they ban smoking in all public places. (Yes, they can and they most likely will.)

I have to agree, there is no such thing as eventually.

There is only a now and a never.

I don't really agree with that, if you set out a date that your going to do it on.. I mean, if its spontaneous then its going to be alot harder than if you had planned it.

No not to quit but a break every now and again.... In fact since we're on topic about it, I'm going to be away for the next 8 weeks in preparation for my exams. So yea.... I might make a thread about it if I'm not too busy.

From now until your date, you need to start to find something to replace your desire to smoke. Instead of just getting to that date and suddenly loosing a chunk of your daily activities. Find something that you can replace the mental thought in your head with whenever you feel like smoking. Try working out, going for a bike ride; feel like a smoke? Make a sandwich instead. The hardest part about quitting is that its so easy to go back because there is nothing to replace that void that you've given away to smoking.

Good luck mate

10-15 isnt really much. I usually smoke around 20 per day. Sometimes I can smoke like 50 in 2 days.. Depends if I buy in packs(?) or if I roll my own. (soz if there's crap terms included, I r teh finnish).

i used to smoke, then i quit for a month because i stopped hanging out with my friend that smoked and i'm hanging out with him again and i'm smoking, he smokes a pack a day and i smoke like 5 cigs a day at most

Chew chewing-gum, It is kinda similar, may help you.

My dad smoked for 20-30 years, and just quit about 2 years ago. It took him a while to stop - about 6 to 12 months, and he was using patches and gum. He's one of the reasons I'm never going to smoke, after seeing him being addicted.

Good for you to decide to stop smoking. Much better to decide to quit now than in 50 years when you've gotten up to 3 packs a day, but it'll still be tough. Tell us how you're doing!

Not really. You put snuff under your top lip, it's not chewing tobacco..

Yes! Quit. Smoking can only cause harm to yo and the people you love. Glad to hear you quit.

Well, you still could put the gum under your lip :stirthepot: :p

But I was sooo sure this kid in my class chews snuff.. unless he wraps it in paper or something.

Good luck m8!

The topic title "Im quitting" made me think "No shit another member leavin"

lmao!...
but im glad to hear that your quiting, im also 15 and smoke, but not that much, and i also dip... but not often. Smoking is bad and hard to quit but atleast its not crack your doing =P

edit: I also thought you were leaving and it made me think "wow, it always sucks to have a srl member leave *crys*" j/k

I think its an great thing ur quitting! :) i smoke myself aswell, going to quit soon tho :D I hope ull make it man, Good Luck :)

Yeah well today, I bought my (hopefully?) last pack of smokes. What IronTeapot said hit me hard though, there really will be nothing to replace it, because with my current life situation I don't really do much besides script, play runescape, go to tafe and smoke. If I did a 10 minute workout everytime I felt like a smoke, I'd have abs of steel lol :p

err, got same problem, started when was 12 or something, smoke aproch 10 per day, have tryed quitting few times...didn't success

Gof you are smoking master!( i think your lungs contains tar only)

good job mate it must be hard....not that i no...good for u and your family and your girl friend if u have one......hope u can get thru it good luck:spot: (h)

Wow, so many people smoke here. Im never going to try to smoke to me its like burning a forest down and breathing in the awfull smoke.

Yes, I thought the same.

I'm always addicted on energy drinks and pepsi a few weeks after the summer :p
I just can't wake up without them :redface:

Wow. That's more sad than smoking :rolleyes:... I'd rather smoke than get fat drinking some energy drinks and pepsi all the time. I though of stopping smoking about.. a year ago :D I though "I'll smoke a few more and then quit" then it was next week, then next month and pretty soon I forgot about it. But I'm thinking of quitting atm. Will be hell though as I get pissed off at teachers in school. Still, good luck in quitting :p

*waits for the 3rd day after Pancakes has quit and a "I failed" thread... :stirthepot:*

wow i feel sorry for u try your hardest and good luck
