Are any of you trying to quit smoking?

Question

I found this book called The Easy Way To Quit Smoking by Allen Carr. When he claimed this book would help me quit smoking without alot of will power, I thought he was full of crap. But I read the book, and it actually works. I'm so surprised. I've been quit for 5 days now and its not even bothering me. If you see the book, pick it up. They should give it away for free.

Answer 2

You can't quit because the cigarette companies make it almost impossible to quit. Especially after so long. I know that there's something in cigarettes that makes them way more addictive then they should be, I smoked Marlboro's for a year, and I became super addicted super quick, if I didn't get a cigarette like every 3 hours I felt like I was going crazy, I couldn't think straight. A friend told me to try American Spirit cigarettes, cuz they don't have any additives. I hated them at first, cuz they didn't really make the cravings go away, and after 3 or 4 days, I started having withdrawal symptoms! No joke, I was still smoking every day, but I felt like I was quitting, I couldn't sleep more than 2 hours at a time, I started eating more, and I had intense cravings for chocolate (I don't know if that was withdrawals or not, but it made me feel better). Then, after a week, I felt better. I went from smoking 5 or 6 cigarettes a day to 1 or 2, and the craving became much more enjoyable (that's a weird way to describe it, but instead of feeling like a crack addict who needed a fix, I was able to sit back and enjoy my cigarette). And now, I don't feel as guilty about smoking because I'm smoking less, and I just feel less addicted. It sounds goofy, but if you look up how cigarette companies use ammonia in their tobacco, you'll see that they try to make their cigarettes as addictive as possible. I had tried to quit cold turkey before, but just like you said, the longest I could go was two weeks, then I'd start smoking even more than before!
