what is it that makes people smoke again after quiting? I havent smoked for 6 days and today I feel horrible, i feel tired and weak and my mind is lost but am not smoking and am wondering am i supposed to be smoking? is this the point where people say this is too much i need a cigarette?

Didn’t quit, but I’ll answer what its like when I can’t get one. My stomach gets heavy, as if I’m nervous – but not. My breathing feels funny, I try to distract my mind with something else, futile. My stomach starts hurting more, so bad I start moving a lot. I get up in search of one, mother of jesus.. light, hit it, hold, blow sweet relief. I feel lightheaded and great.

Now, some people say they get pissed off when they don’t have one. Somewhat true, its more like if you try to piss me off on purpose, I’ll get more angry then I usually do.

So I have decided to quit smoking after about a year or so of doing it.
Today was my first day and i already caved and got one from my brother. I was good up until he came home and lit up right next to me, I didn’t even get a chance to tell him and ask him not to because he lit it right as he walked in, the second i got a whiff i more or less begged for one…..

But i am not actually asking for help to keep off em, im actually wondering if anyone can give me some tips as to how to keep the weight off that i know most people gain.technically by my BMI, i am already obese, but according to my doctors my bone mass is fairly high so im not but i really don’t wanna be really obese.

I am looking for an exercise that i can do 10-15 mins a day without spending any money (i cant afford anything at the moment, can barely afford gas) i don’t have a bike or roller blades or anything, and i have already considered walking but since i am a full time student and work full time, the only time i can walk is at night and i don’t feel safe walking at night in my area. So any thoughts?
please dont adervertise that stuipd weight loss pills and crap, like i said i dont have ne money!!

Instead of smoking, try chewing a gum. Exercise? Try doing curl ups, this you can do even your watching tv or before going to sleep.

I quit smoking today and need support..all former smokers please tell me how much better you feel after quiting.. do the heart palpitations, shortness of breath and fatigue all go away? does your circulation improve?
This is so hard…

I quit last August (for good) after smoking for 23 years. It takes 3 days for the nictotine to leave your body. Drink plenty of water. Just be careful not to trade one addiction for another…like food. LOL Yes, it’s worth it. You will feel and look better. And soon the smell of others smoking will gross you out.

Good luck!

after 3 weeks that I have stopped smoking, I feel miself over stimulated, I cant sleep well at night, erection is making me crazy several times per day (without reason), and I feel that I am loosing my mind consentration and motivation to work routine… please help me how to deal with this kind of effects ? There has been a week since I am ignoring my work…. please help…
In fact I dont want to smoke any more and I dont have reqiurement to smoke anithing or chew anything… it is just overstimulation that I am dealing now… my body is generating too much energy that I cant spend… it feels like I am under adrenaline stimulation… in total body feels great: I want to do stuff, walk, run, to do some gym but at the same time my mind concentration on mental work (such as Finance, accounting, logical thinking ) is complitely missing…

Do some meditation, if that doesn’t work you can try nicotine gum and see if that does it. It’s rather expensive, so just try and get over the mental effects using natural means. Take some deep breaths and do a mantra: "I feel great because I am smoke free." Repeat this and your mind may listen. The effects you’re feeling are not as physical as you may think, since it’s been 3 weeks you’re nearly done with any physical addiction. You’re doing well.

Keep it up!

Hello, I have decided to quit smoking for good. I’d like to ask you (those who were smoking) how did you quit ? Also I would like to now how much did you smoke a day, and for how long
Also, a short summary on how did you feel after quiting, and what measures did you take on the sudden onset of a need to smoke.

Thank you.

I smoked a pack and a half for 20 years, and it’s been over 11 years since my last cigarette. I used the Nicoderm Patch and it worked well for me. I used plain chewing gum when I felt the need for a smoke (do not use the patch and the nicotine gum at the same time!!!) and changed my daily routine to get away from the habitual times i’d smoke, like reading the newspaper with lunch instead of with coffee and a smoke in the morning.

Good luck, it’s hard to quit but well worth it.
