So i stopped smoking.

Congratulations, man. I'm glad you had the power to do it. I don't smoke, but I'll probably die of cancer by the time I'm 30 because of all the second hand smoke I inhale.

I social smoke, which is great because in the past year, I haven't had to buy a single pack.

Good for you! Keep it up! Your lungs will thank you! 

I smoked since I was in college but quit a few years ago.  I had the habit since the early 90's.  I occasionally still miss it, but I look at the price of cigarettes today and I realize I can buy more games with that money!  Better health, more games.  Win-win by quiting. 

nice dude, just stay on track cus i've seen tons of people that start smoking again after not smoking for months to years even

the hard part is over but the battle rages on

I started smoking in college around age 20, and now I'm 25 and just this January I decided to quit cold turkey. I haven't had a single cigarette since last December.

Nice! Keep it up! Good luck going forward.

Congrats duder.  

Well done to you. Not going to lie I've had my fair few fags in the past but I'm just a social smoker. Keep up the hard work :)

Good job! Smoking is absolutely disgusting.

awesome hopefully you don't get lung cancer!

This is more or less what I do to. "

Yeah, I also do the same. Though I still buy occasionally. "

I've been a smoker for 18 years. I've quit on and off. My longest being 6 months cold turkey. Those 6 months was time away from friends whom are all smokers. When I started hanging out with them again, I started up again. It can be difficult or it can be easy. It all depends on the person.

Congrats.

I"m a social smoker, sometimes after a few drinks I just want a DuM Regular! That being said, in the last 3 months I've only smoked two cigs and half of a cigar (but that was just because my buddies sister brought him back a pack of cigars from Jamaica). Whereas all summer/fall i was smoking like 3 or 4 days a week (but i was also drinking all summer/fall almost everyday!).
But take my dad for example...he smoked his first cig at the age of 4 and is turning 50 this year and still smokes even though he's tried many times to quit. So good on you man! I know it can be a battle to quit smoking and I respect anyone who is genuinely hooked and can kick the habit!

congrats on that. i'll have a cigar every once in a while. i bought my dad some and smoked them because he didn't touch them.

I've also never had to buy booze. I've spent the past few months just bumming liquor off of my friends and my stuitemates. Of course, that means I haven't had a lot, but...

This is why America is failing fast.  A nation of quitters.  

Everyone who smokes cigarettes has a deep seeded desire to look cool.

I have been dipping for 8 years and I decided to quit about 2 weeks ago. It's been rough so far, but I feel so much healthier. I know its not very long to have quit for, but stories like this make it a bit easier to keep going. Congrats on the achievement!

I rarely social smoke. I like the feeling it gives me, but I get sick if I smoke too much. Too much is like, more than 5 drags. I don't know how smokers can actually smoke without getting sick. I've tried it and it's a no go.

Congrats!  I don't smoke so I got no story.

I smoked weed for a longtime, I also consider quitting one of my greatest accomplishments in my young life(22.)

I've smoked weed for probably about 10 years now, don't smoke cigarettes though.

Weed isn't even near the same level as quiting nicotine. "

Thanks for belittling my accomplishment. : ) "

I don't but my friend who was smoking since like 15 stopped smoking this year, he is 22 now. I think its a really cool display of willpower, one day he was like okay thats enough, and stopped. He didn't like ration it or give drama about him trying to quit or nothing. 

I smoke socially, but I buy my packs, because I care of my friends and their finances

Quiting butts is one of the most difficult things to do.

I've been off and on for a while.

Keep it up but you're not out of the woods yet!

I recently stopped for 6 months and started up again, but never smoke as much as when I was younger.

A lot of people say it's like being an alcoholic, even if you aren't smoking, you'll still want one here and there.

Esp when drinking... uhg, prob best to quit that too.

Stay strong!

" @salad10203:  Screw that guy, quitting any drug is an accomplishment. Congrats on that dude :D "

What he said, i've probably seen more people officially quit cigarettes than weed... the extra layer of tough in quitting weed is the stronger culture, like some people feel closer to bob marley(i've literally seen one dude quit listening to bob marley the same time as weed) if they smoke, or just the whole Hippy scene (i used to, though i never smoked).

Congrats. I still don't understand how you can get started on that shit, to be honest. When I was young, my parents smoked a lot, a pack a day at least. I hated it, because of the smell, the smoke, and what I knew it was doing to them (and what they did if they didn't get their fix), so I tried the tiniest drag off a cigarette because I just could not understand the habit. Fucking disgusting, on the verge of being painful. Still don't get how someone could do that to their body. It's bad enough inhaling smoke from a fire 5 feet away, filling your lungs with toxic junk is just beyond my comprehension.

i'm gonna quit soon too this thread put the idea back into my mind. its just too darn expensive!
