In fact, Farten, nicotine is a drug and I am experiencing withdrawal I would imagine, however bearable. Why are some people such as yourself so juvenile and downright stupid about this? And I don't use stupid for the challenged or the uniformed, but rather the ridiculously immature.

I quit nearly five weeks ago, cold turkey. I read this book called The Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr and when I finished it, I smoked my last cigarette. There's no pressure, there's no telling you how bad you are (were) for smoking. Smokers already know the bad stuff. But I swear, it changed my entire outlook on smoking. You shouldn't have to suffer.
I see people smoking and I don't envy them at all. I don't miss it. I am so happy to be free.
Keep at it. You are freeing yourself from a powerful drug. If you keep feeling lousy, pick up that book. It's the best thing I ever read.

You did not indicate how long you were a smoker. That would make a lot of difference in your recovery. People who have been smoking heavily, for years, are very likely to go into nicotine withdrawal--or other medical problems.
If you are a school-aged person, and just smoked for a few months to a year or two, you will probably be okay.
Congratulations--you have accomplished a good thing--keep it up !

Get out of your house and go to a club or a bar for a (one) drink and make some friends. Go to parks, start a hobby, chew lots and lots of gum. Write a book. Switch from coffee to tea to adjust out of the early morning coffee with a smoke...just find something to do. Go to the gymevery two or so days. Why not get back into shape after having betteryed thine health. So sorry about previous response. Wasn't thinking. Good luck. I'm pulling for you to get through this.

What you did was a good thing you're changing your life and improving your health. You got through 9 days so far , but still you can't do this alone you should get a support system in place to help you deal with the withdrawal and help make it comfortable for you as possible.

I know what you mean. I did 49 days and then watched a movie where everyone was smoking all the time. The next day the urge for a smoke was too strong to want to resist. If you do return to smoking, smoke American Spirit Yellow. And if you want to consider Wellbutrin (an anti depressant for stopping smoking), here's some info:

I smoked my last cigarette nine years ago. I, too, quick cold turkey with no aids. Hang in there, it will get better. Most of the time I have no desire for cigarettes and the actual smell of cigarette smoke turns my stomach. But I will tell you, there are days when I would really love to have just one. But I remember the five relatives I have who died of lung cancer and it keeps me from buying a pack.

NO! After a few weeks you will be fine. It is the first weeks that is the worst! At 9 days, the worst inital days are over! KEPP GOING! The farther away you get from it, the less you will miss it. The person who told you to go back to smoking is not wise. They are most likely a smoker who is jealous of your will power and pink lungs. That was the rudest post ever. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, please! And think of the money you are going to save! WOO HOO!

Why in the hell were you ever smoking cold turkey? You're supposed to EAT it, not smoke it...
Yes, it will always be this sucky and boring as long as YOU look at it that way.

My father smoked three packs a day. One morning he had a coughing fit at breakfast. He looked at the cigarrette in his hand and said "These things are running my life." Never lit another. He was in his early 50s at the time and lived to be 85. But he told me that he always wanted one.
My wife told me once she was going to quit for me. I told her to forget it. If she wasn't ready to quit then quiting for me would fail.
Smoking never took for me. I found other vices (booze and sex) that I had to overcome.
Bottom line is, if you are ready to quit, you will. I wish you well with your endeavors.
