consider yourself told!
Nima, You said it here:
You may well be right, but you won't succeed as long as you are affirming to yourself that you CAN'T quit, that's like throwing in the towel before you've even started.Originally posted by Nima Khan Abdali View PostI can't stop it, yar. When I don't smoke, it's like that I don't do something very vital about my life, like breathing. Really. No exeggaration.
As charlie sheen
said, "Can't is the Cancer of Happen", quite applicable here.
You have to WANT to make the EFFORT to stop it. Anything that is really worth accomplishing is probably not a walk in the park, as you know. And you will have to approach it positively and assertively in order to succeed.
I gave up for almost 3 years, never imagined that I would choose to start again... but I did.
A smoking cessation doctor told me +/- this (not that it has helped me so far): "We are addicts- to nicotine. We never cease to be addicts as 'it' hooks into our brain and lies there in waiting, and it may be something we constantly have to fight against throughout our lives once we have chosen to quit indefinitely. So be strong and persevere, if you wholeheartedly don't want to be a slave to nicotine."
For me it is more about the action of smoking, and when in social situations, and not so much the nicotine.
How about trying those electronic cigarettes? (if you can find a QUALITY brand, otherwise you might get irritated at it's lack of function and go out and buy the real deal like I did)- there are cartridges with different
strengths of nicotine available, from which you could wean yourself off, and then onto nicotine-free cartridges, and then just stop. Or just go cold turkey.
Besides, you smoke Silks, which means you are probably in the $UK- how much money are you wasting on the things?! You are mathematician but I will help you out on this one together with googlecalc:
7.41 for a pack of silks +/-
7.41 x 2 = 14.82 per day
14.82 x 7 = 103.74 per week
5409.30 per year
unless you buy em off dodgy dave who does the ferry run.
You are paying 5409.30 each year to get cancer, and all the gross stuff that comes with smoking. Don't you have anything better to all spend this money on?

I will take your advice. Artificial cigarettes, huh? OK, I am in.
Also, I'm surprised how accurately you did the calculation. Actually, I spend 100 pounds a week on cigarettes exactly. Thank you.

Do me a favor, and don't trade one bad habit for another. This isn't the NBA.Originally posted by Nima Khan Abdali View PostWow! Thank you, brother, you did all the calculations.

A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!
-Ferishta, 1560–1620

Bahat naswar ya ki bang-e dige dashdan inja ba pul ya ki ba mahbas jaza dade mishad. Baad az i, naswar keshide namitoonam; man ki, hatta az cigarha tang shodeam, ba naswar che kar konam? Dostet wali kheili sakht shode ke toonesteast ba naswar mobarezeh bebarad. Dige az hamesh, inja naswar peydah kardan besiar sakhteh.Originally posted by Luffy View PostOne of my friend quit smoking by shifting to use of naswar and then he quit naswar as it is not quite addictive as smoking.
