Quitting smoking is very easy as I have did it more than 100 times in my life.

I had read a post in line with smoking (what brand do you smoke). Just thought of initiating this thread.

How many times have you attempted to quit smoking and what made you to smoke you again and what are your tips to others that need to be followed to successfully quit smoking?

the best way is not to start smoking coz the habit once developed is very difficult to leave

Hmmm.....somehow these smoking related threads always get hijacked by non-smokers.

Montoya · 13th May 2005, 21:53

ported_head · 13th May 2005, 22:10

firstly i agree with shan2nu, once you start its very difficult to stop.just eat a lot when ever you want a cig go get something to eat and have a lot of gum.it worked for a friend of mine and he hasnt had one for tha last 6 months after smokin a pack a day for two years before that.

and ported_head you right.there are more non somkers in these smoking threads than smokers lol..
