Time to quit smoking

I can't believe I've smoked cigs for 2 years. I couldnt believe it after 1 year, and now 2? I'm taking a semester off from school, and I think its probably impossible to quit in college. so now I really want to quit but I'm not sure if I can. the problem is that I am really psychologically addicted to cigs. i only smoke 1-4 a day, but I just can't shake the habit.

I'm tired of thinking about cigarettes. I wish I could be OK with smoking, but I'm not. so I bought some patches and I'm ready to quit this bad habit once and for all.

So lend some support if you feel like it, or let me know if you've been through the same thing. whats a good way to stop? I've already started using the lowest strength patch for the past 2 days, but I still am craving. I was thinking for the first week, every day I go without a cig, I will treat myself to something cool, like taco bell or a movie from blockbuster. but I'm also interested in this new anti-smoking medicine, has anyone heard of it? do u think I will notice a difference in breathing and such after quitting?

please don't respond to this with "quit being a pussy" or anything along those lines, i dont give advice on things I dont understand, so dont advise me on cigarette addiction.

everytime you would normally buy a pack,  throw that 10 bucks into the bank or a safe place and save up for somethin big. it will also help you realise how much cigs really cost. damn those things are expensive.

I met this fellow once who smoked a pack a day, and he tried to quit by still smoking the entire pack per day, but smoking only half the cig.

Well, he died six weeks ago of cancer.

here in burlington it's almost 7 bucks a pack.. back home it was only like 4. needless to say that alone will help me slow my roll.. or so i thought until camel decided buy 2 get one free was a good promotion for me myself and i. i fucking hate the fact that i smoke cigarettes. every single cigarette i smoke the thought of quitting goes through my head and my hatred for the things goes through my head, unfortunately.. it still doesn't stop me from going through and getting another one a few hours later. ive quit for weeks on end.. months even.. then i always seem to pick it back up. yes.. it's all habit, and honestly i'd really like to say fuck the patches and fuck the gum and all that other stuff, cause in the end youre doing the same thing in a more healthy way.. you need to get away from the habit more than you need to get away from the nicotine (in my experience, at least..) granted they both hold strong. im on about a pack a day and have smoked for about 5 years now. its pitiful. so i wish you hte best of luck man. do it for you and i both, maybe it'll at least get me to slow down.

well I cracked and had one cig cause I ended things with this girl and felt really guilty about it, but I still am gonna quit. in order to succeed with anything you have to work past your own failures.

the problem was that cig made me feel 100x better and gave me such a great buzz. but it also made my mouth taste like shit, and gave me a sore throat. normally cigs dont make my mouth taste like anything, so I guess its good this one left such a bad impression on me.

yeah i know right? I mean I try to tell myself cigs arent that great, but then I have the special cig and man oh man, its so good. I've realized I really cant lie, cigarettes are amazing if you only smoke like 1 or 2 a day, but I can't manage that forever, one night i will get drunk and smoke like 10 and feel like shit the next day.
