i tried to quit again a few years ago, went thru major chemical withdrawls this time, something i didnt feel so strongly the first time. i only lasted 1 excruciating week til i had to go back to smokes so i could cont my job.
i am convinced that Phillip MOrris increased the level of nicotine (or whatever drug causes addiction) in response to the increasing trend of people being able to quit smoking. i think they tried to make it harder. if this theory of mine is true, i wil be the first to sign up for the class action lawsuit.
i really really want to quit but given how debilitating it was last time, i cant afford to miss time from work or not be on point at work.
sometime after i get moved and settled into my new home and before my first child is born i will renew my commitment to quit. this time with some kind of prescription or drug to help fight the chemical urges/withdrawl.
well, yet another long, winding post from me. im working on it.

Try chanix it helps take the edge off. If I can quit anyone can and my buddy who just quit is also using Chanix. Its not cheap but its cheaper then smoking. I know it sounds stupid but find some sort of support to help you through the tough times. It also helps if you can convince yourself that smoking is nasty, dirty, stinks, etc... and think that every time you see someone smoking. You don't have to say that to people smoking just think aboout how nasty it is. Before when I tried quiting I see someone smoking and only wished to have one which made it tough so flip it around.
