I used to smoke, i was on about 2 packs a day
i used to wake up in the middle of the night just for a smoke, i would smoke in picture theatres on buses anywhere i wanted one. i would always get enough puffs before i was told to put it out
i gave up on my 25th birthday, just thought i would try my next 25 years differently and everyone said i could never give up.
when i gave up i used to black out alot, but i think it was the amount of alcohol i was drinking back then.
i took up sucking on peppermints but peppermints and beer didnt mix that well so i gave up the peppermints
you have to have a very good reason to give up and cold turkey is the way to do it.

I dont smoke inside the house, and i dont like it when others do. I smoke in the car occasionally, i try to not do that again.
About these smoke free pubs, i been to some, its very good, just go outside and smoke 2-3 times, thats more than enough for one night. i dont need constant smoking when im drinking, but if i have the chance i will, and thats not a good thing.

Question:
Why do smokers think it is okay to litter? I see them all the time crushing their butts on the ground (sometimes right next to an ashtray) before entering a building. Perhaps it is their form of protest that they cannot smoke inside. I don't know. But I don't like seeing all that litter.
I also see smokers throw their butts out the windows of their cars while driving. They know their car has an ashtray. But they do it anyway. And sometimes a brush fire starts.
I have nothing against smoking. It's up to you what you put in your body. I don't like the smell, and I don't like the litter though.

Society has just accepted it for so long, it's not really thought of the same by everyone as crumpling a piece of paper and throwing it on the gound.

I tried the patches and the nicotine gum. They're too hard to light

You smokers know what I'm talking about:
Those imbecile smokers
the non-smokers are saying "****-OFF" right back at you.
Something is definitively true here: non-smokers think the smokers should always be hidden.
smoking around people that don't should be punishable by death....and not a quick one but a slow painfull one.
If the world ever comes to this I would gladly volunteer my time to be one of the torturers.
IMO they should have made say 50% or so of pubs in each suburb smoke-free, not a complete ban
If you do not banish it from the stores, do not banish it from other places (at least, some).
If we had kids, I'd either quit, or only smoke outside (which would lead to quiting).
How did the patch work for you? I have a box of them sitting around waiting for "the day". The box is about a year old.
Don't do like me: tobacco inside a patch taste weird and it has a funny color when you light them.
Serious: not so bad. Stayed on the program longer because I've cheated.
I have not smoked for a while but...
I am playing poker with friends this Friday.
5 to 6 guys. All smokers of something. Big lamp over a green carpeted table.
I know I will fail. I will try to stick with little cigars. We're all human.
One thing you non-smokers do not know:
Smoking increase your brain capacity and capability
Manufacturer's will not put this on their pack, hey?

I forgot to add:
I do agree that littering is bad.
However, I was littering when I was smoking.
Non smokers have not read alot about nicotine.
Search and you will find that this substance is worst than (here you name a couple of tough drugs, known to create addiction in user)
sorry for my baaadd english.

I don't smoke, never have. I don't mind if others smoke around me as long as they don't blow the smoke near me and they don't smoke in my car.

Smoking increase your brain capacity and capability
As I said before, "tolerance" of smoking is basically about social consensus. There is nothing "right" or "wrong" about it. Just like there isn't really anything intrinsically wrong about being naked in public -- it just isn't socially acceptable.
Smoking is gradually and increasingly being less and less acceptable in a public place. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

That website, www.whyquit.org, is so good. Though I've never smoked, if I did, I would be so motivated to quit now after reading some of the articles there. Great website. I encourage any of you that want to quit smoking to check out that website. And good luck to you all.

It's a common misconception among non-smokers that quitting is only a matter of realizing that smoking is bad for you. They think that one good pic of a diseased lung will do it. Like all smokers stupidly go about their lives, waiting for that piece of crystalline logic, delivered by a knowledgeable non-smoker. The classic: "Why do you do that if it's bad for you?"
I don't know. Why are you non-smokers using your feet to walk around? Walking on your hands would save you shoe money :P
Gee thanks, guys ...I had no idea. Maybe, just maybe.... you're not in a position to offer me advice on this subject ....huhhhhhh? :P
It's a case of not knowing what you're talking about unless you've been there and done that. Sorta like describing the color red to a blind man....you just don't know, and should hold your disgust and disapproval in check for that very reason.
And I get annoyed that many people seem to enjoy pointing out others' character flaws just a bit too much. Perhaps it's subconscious self-validation. Maybe it's the same reason why people slow down to rubberneck at car accident sites ...."there's someone worse off than I am ....this is great".
All I can say is that you're fortunate that you don't know how hard it is for most of us to quit ......all the logic in the world goes out the window once those cravings start. You are willing to use that photo of a diseased lung to light your next smoke, if necessary
