[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 146965, member: 2960"] Exactly. I quit about one month ago. I smoked for 21 years. Two and a half packs a day. I had tried cold turkey several times, but you have to factor in things like how long you've smoked, how much you smoked, what kind of cigarettes you smoked, what time of day you smoked, where you smoked, etc. etc. All of those things determine how hard or easy it is for someone to quit. It really boils down to how long and how heavy you smoked though, the longer and heavier you smoked the harder it is to quit. Still the addiction isn't so much a physical one as it is a mental one. Getting over a simple nicotine addiction is simple. Once you stop smoking, the nicotine is out of you system in less than a week. What sticks around is the cravings for the act of smoking. That first smoke of the day, the one after meals, while driving, at the bar, on break at work, when you are nervous or upset, etc. all up to the last one of the day. People learn to associate smoking with everyday mundane parts of their day. For some it is such an integrated part of their routines, that they can't just stop. If you can, then consider yourself the very lucky and extremely fortunate minority. When I quit, I used Nicorette gum. It helped stave off the cravings and is the only thing that has worked. It also gave me something to put in place of the cigarette. I could still go outside on my break at work, but instead of lighting up I just popped in a piece of Nicorette. And if you start to transition of the Nicorette and use just regular chewing gum, you can really get off the drug even faster.
