I've been a nicotine addict for 16 years. Began with cigarettes then changed to "Snus" which is kinda like chewing tobacco you put under your lip (Swedish thing...)

Quitting "snus" is said to be much harder than quitting cigarettes since with snus you have a constant low flow of nicotine into your blood. The only time I didnt have one "in" was while eating and while sleeping. First thing I'd do when I woke up was to take a "snus" and then I'd have one "in" until I went back to sleep. Only exception would be while putting food into my mouth

I am now on 3rd day without and I am a freaken wreck! They say it'll be easier after 4-5 days, I hope they are right

Smoked for 27 years, though i did stop for a 9 years between 25 and 34.

I started again because of a bet, a mate said once you smoke you always smoke and will start again, I said bollocks and had a cig and here I am 7 years later. Though this year ive decided to stop. its a bit crap because I enjoy it and the social aspect....(nc form passive smokers pls....u moan about cig smoke then walk out in the street and suck up lungs full of diesel and don’t give it a thought....I hate puritanical hypocrite types)

Still if you don’t do it don’t try it, its bloody expensive nearly 10 euros a pack here.

Oh Really ? Well for your info I hate to return at home after a difficult day and can't breathe cause of the bloody smoke in the living room !! I hate my friends smoke on the cafeteria making the situation unconfortable for me! And if you really think that passive smokers are hypocrites and moaners,you should see my gf . She breathed smoke sometime ago ,passively , from friends in a cafeteria as well .. she was hard breathing for the whole week!She was begging anyone to stop they did not listen to her and her health got much worse !

aight sarcasm aside, i felt you crossed the thin red line there and i do mean the part with "being cool coz being high". It seems this is a moronic trend nowadays where young ppl show off with their addiction( as if it was smth cool and/or to be proud of. 'One night i sniffed this, i smoked that and i took 3 of those.' How cool am I......NOT.

Drugs are bad, in any of their available forms and they should never be used as an ego booster amongst friends or any of one's entourage. Why? Because it's simply retarded.

Doing drugs is surely NOT cool
Smoking is also NOT cool
Saying "I've done many drugs" is also NOT cool
Posing on pictures with a cig on your hand/mouth/ear whatever is also NOT cool !
Showing you are addicted in any form seems uncool to me.
Moreover,people try smoke , drugs , alcohol just to show they are cool!They start smoking just because it is a trend , it is to become cool and become accepted to your "smoking" friends Many started because was cool as far as I know ...

how to be cool

how you can live without beer?

well,I can't drink more than 500ml beer Even if I try
I can't imagine a life without "souvlaki guros" though

i started smoking weed at the age of 13, i never had a cigarette till the age of 16. i got into a bad crowd at school, funny thing is my mum gave me £100 to give up smoking (i gave up smoking about 8 months later).

ok well i haven't 100% given up, when i am drunk i will smoke a quarter of a cigarette (for some reason i can't handle the taste any more).

but what is more worrying for me, is that i have been smoking weed every day for a few months now... i need to give up but i just dont WANT to if you know what i mean...

i guess a joint is a replacement for a cigarette for me

i'll get over it one day
