Nothing. You're fucked with your current mentality. Stop counting the
hours - it's not important. If you want to be a non-smoker then don't
fucking smoke any more. That's it; congratulations - you are now a
non-smoker. Pats on the back all round.

All that "it's been X hours", "it's been Y days", "I haven't had a fag
for 3 years" is a load of shit. If you don't want to be a smoker then
don't smoke any more. Easy. It's not a gradual process, you know.

If you're really finding all that difficult to give up, then maybe it's
a sign that shouldn't bother trying.

 

True, in fact, but not what I *meant* to type in this instance

'Know' in what sense?

There certainly *is* a physiological component, but that's compartively
short AIUI.

Worked for me. Working still, in fact.

My Yoda period.

Given that nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs in existance
you're either joking or being a tosser.

Or both, of course.

 

Just have a search on the interweb for Weekend Headaches.
Thousands of addicts suffering every Sunday because they don't
associate the drug with the pain.

 

Interesting. Although my comment was based not on association with the
pain, but the positive effect.

Still seems to hold true though. /me shrugs

Then do it for your kids. They don't want to lose you to a smoking
related disease, it's not a pretty way to go.

 

Often quoted, but many studies supporting this idea use apparent
dependence on tobacco products as a key measure of the degree of
addiction, and are therefore somewhat skewed by the simple desire to
smoke "because I enjoy it".

STY's point, while over-general, does have an underlying basis - there
are many factors, as you're fully aware, in stopping smoking, of which
genuine, physiological dependence is clearly one, but it's not
possible to isolate them, as there's never been, and never will be[1],
a control-based study to separate psychological and social issues from
the purely physiologiocal.

In any event, I do believe that a significant proportion, possibly the
majority, of failures-to-stop-smoking are at least partially caused by
the desire to stop being based on social or other external pressures,
and that the smoker, deep-down, doesn't want to stop in and for
themselves.

On UKRM? Surely not.

[1] Because getting a group of non-smokers to start and remain smoking
for several years, half on tobacco and half on "placebo" isn't really
a practicable approach.

Yes thank you. =

 

I just stopped smoking one day, should it have been more difficult than
that? There's more to addiction than just the chemical.

 

Sure but you can delay the onset and live a bit longer by virtue of a
few, simple lifestyle choices. It took ages for emphysema to kill my
Nan and she wasn't that old.

 

Heh.
<twirls end of moustache and chuckles>

 

good point.
