I need to quit Smoking!

I concur with His Immenseness on the "if you wanna stop, just stop" sentiment, though I'm not entirely sure where he was going with that bit of determinism at the end.

Regardless, just keep in mind that smoking is a habit, and like any other habit, breaking the reflex is the hardest part. Once you spend a few days or a week consciously fighting down the urge, you'll be fine. Another week, you'll stop jonesing, if you were even withdrawing to begin with. Smooth sailing. Chew toothpicks, or something. The ones soaked in Tea Tree Oil are nice.

...I can't believe I'm giving tips on quitting smoking. I'm such the militant smoker. VIVA LA CAMEL!

I like to smoke. Somebody's gotta send those tobacco farmers kids to college.

How anyone could drink without smoking is far beyond my comprehension.

There is a bar in the Orange Circle (on the off chance that anyone lives in SoCal) called O'Hara's, that you can smoke in. It's not exactly advertised or anything, but I've never been hassled. It's really quite the lovely dive, although if you're a female you'll have to put up with the perverted old owner touching you and making vaguely suggestive comments.

Each to their own, I say. I'm just tired of it, and out of shape, but with no willpower.

I'm sorry, what was that? No will to power?!

It's getting to the point in this country, that smoking at the bar, and not outside, is worth an old man feeling me up ('outside the clothes fella, and just the thigh!') a little. Especially if he owned the joint. When I think about it, I've had younger fellas who didn't allow me to smoke in their presence, that did not own bars, go a lot further and I got a helluva a lot less out of their acquaintance!

Where is this bar again Frank?

I am two out of the three of those things, and it doesn't stop me from lighting up my Djarums. So...nyah.

i quit smoking once for about 6 months. i used the patch, and holy shit, i gotta say the patch is far more addictive and enjoyable. i was completely mellow all the time, you couldn't piss me off, just wasn't possible. and the dreams, there were warnings about vivid dreams if you wore it while you slept, and i can't imagine why they would "warn" you. they were great. best dreams i ever had, so imaginative and vivid and real. and at work when temperature got real high and we would all be sweating like crackwhores in donut shop, the nicotine would absorb like a hundred times faster and it was quite a rush. my pupils would dilate and i would be running around like a crack addict. come to think of it, i may go back to the patch this week.

What the fuck?
Sorry, my friend, but patch? No fucking way.
Try flicking a used patch at somebody who is annoying you...
Now you miss cigarettes!!!
