re: When does quitting smoking get easier?

2 weeks for the nicotine to leave your system. Another month after that to stop associating things with smoking. 6 months and the smell will get disgusting.

Have an honest question here. What possesses someone to put nasty smelling cigarette in their mouth for the first time. All I can come up with is to look cool. Can someone enlighten me please?

About 3 weeks for me.

I've been quit for about 16 yrs. I still get a craving for one after a good meal sometimes.
Just keep reminding yourself the pain you've already gone through not having one and why would you be stupid to pick one up now. The cravings will be there for awhile, change your routine and don't do things that you would associate with smoking. Toughest for me was after a meal, and going down the road.
And food truly does taste different once you've been off cigs for awhile. I love things I used to hate. Good luck.

Why? Because it feels like a baby kitten nuzzling your ball sack that's why.

Things started smelling noticeably better and I noticed foods tasted better
This may sound stupid, but I quit for six months. The taste and smell senses went into overdrive. Everything was too strong. I had to go to a bland diet. Then I went back to smoking but I didn't know it would be that dramatic.

When you actually decide that you really want to quit. It's been a year for me. I still occasionally get cravings if I'm having some drinks and kicking it, but it's easier to resist. Cravings will probably never completely go away for those perfect moments, but I mostly don't think about it.

NEVER!! I knew a man who was sneaking smokes in his hospital room as he was dying from heart disease. That man told me to quit and I did. He said never to touch one once I quit. "You're one puff away from a pack a day", that was how he put it to me. I'll chew Nicorette until they bury me but I'll never light up again.

I quit for new year's resolution. I had never really tried before. I have a pretty easy time of it till I get triggered which is mostly from having a beer or other alcoholic beverage. Mardi Gras was a test, hanging with friends partying has been a test but I'm pretty determined to stop.
Last week at Live After 5 I had a couple drags off a cig and it hit me different. It didn't taste right, didn't affect me the way it used to. Seemed kind of foreign instead of a relief the way it used to be. I could tell that if I had burned a few I would probably get back on track with it but that's not an option. I'm done with it.
Good luck; hope you have success too.

I only smoke when I drink but if I do coke while out drinking it makes me want to smoke less.
If I drink on Xanax or lorcet though I'll chain smoke

True and good way to put it. I've quit for 6 months are so before this last time. I thought I could bum a cigarette from a friend over some drinks then over the course of months it snowballed into a half a pack a day again. Just can't allow myself even a little. But now I'm better at resisting those temptations because I know better. I know where it leads and "just one" is just a lie for me.

Every second you don't smoke.
Posted on 5/2/16 at 9:49 pm to cubsfan5150
It's so easy, just use ecigs or snus for a week or two and use a little less every day.

It's so easy,
I highly disagree with this but I do think it's probably easier now than it has been in the past. As you say, vaping may help but I think the whole societal persecution of smokers and over-taxation of cigarettes may be the tipping point as much as I think it's kind of unfair in a personal freedom sense.
For me the skyrocketing price and constantly having to find an quarantined safe-haven for it has gotten old.

Never. They get less. They get easier to deal with. You'll grow to hate them. You'll despise smokers on the street as you walk through their toxic clouds. But you'll never be free of the urge. It'll creep up. It'll feel real. One won't hurt. But it'll go away for a bit.

Start vaping bro
Posted on 5/2/16 at 10:19 pm to TigerLunatik
I started because after I smoked weed I would have too much cotton mouth to dip.
That was nearly 25 years ago.

I agree. When I do/did coke I smoked a lot less, I guess my brain was going so fast I forgot.
Now when I'm high on the opiates, it's another story entirely.
