sounds like your coping neka after a couple of weeks you have pretty much lost the urge, just take ya a bit longer to die though unless you get run over by a japenese tour bus then it will have been for nothing.

Advantages are you can ride for longer without the need to stop for a ciggie.
But you still need to pee.

keep it up neka at least you save 10 bucks a day. :D

Everyone that I know that's ever given up, has done going cold turkey. Nico patches just seem to keep the addiction going...

Good stuff, neka... :D

All a head fuck mate. Get your head right, and you're right. Not easy, but at 4 days you're over the worst of it already. Its worth it, stick with it.

If you need an incentive I'll bring a bring a big-boobed non-smoking chick to PI ok? 8)

quite right...
I puffed away for 25-27 odd years, up to 30 gaspers a day
woke up one morning about 7 years ago and said to myself
....'naaah fark it, don't want one'
yep, stopped cold turkey

haven't had a ciggie since :P

For the past three years, I've been averaging a pack a month... I'll go a couple of weeks without lighting up at all or feeling the need to, then something will snap, I'll buy a deck, go through it in three days and by the end of it, I'll become convinced again of how rank smoking feels.

It's almost like having quit...

Onya Mate,
Just remember its now all mental, after 2 days or so all the actuall nicotine has left your system.

Neka, I had 12 days up, then faltered. Doesn't help that the other half is as piss weak as me, and to date, he's only had one smoke free day.

I haven't quit quitting, I'm still not smoking anywhere near the quantity I was. Its way not easy tho.

Congrats on your 4 days, or 5 by now. Keep it up, cause I'll be rejoining the smoke free club again shortly - like this week.
