"How I Quit Smoking Cigarettes"
By CaptinPickAxe
I smoked for two years (on and off) and when I decided it was time to kick the habit these were the ways I helped deal with the stress.
1. Smoked Weed:
I know, I know "Its just as bad for you". Yes, but not when you smoke a bowl a day as opposed to a pack a day. I found it made me less irratable and help me forget the cravings.
2. Willpower:
I live with two smokers who religiously smoke. It wasn't the least bit hard for me to steer clear of the smokes when I had the thought, "I'm gonna quit" ingrained in my brain. Thier smoke didn't make me crave or irritable.
3. Being Active:
Once I saw the effect cigarettes had played on my lungs, I never wanted to smoke again. I felt like an asthmatic who just ran a marathon...and I was pizzed. Activities also help you keep your mind off of smoking. When you busy hiking or sparring you tend to think less about "Damm, I wish I had a stog."
4. Sex:
Nothing will calm you down more than sex. One session of sex amounts to 3 days of happiness and will help you not be irratable. Just remember not to light up during the post-sex coitial period
These were my tools to kicking the habit. I hope they've helped you along your path to a healthier, smoke free life.

Greetings brothers of willpower!
I just thought I'd add my 2 cents to the fray regarding the social aspects of smoking as an oft overlooked mechanism of relapse. Basically, one thing I've noticed at work is the smokers always take more breaks than the non-smiz types. So, some (myself included at one time) begin smoking to "hang out" and take more breaks from the drudgery of work. Furthermore, smoking is an activity which allows one to be completely submerged in, ignoring his/her surroundings and social discomfort of being in a strange place, instead of standing around with nothing to do. When I visited Seoul a few years back, I smoked quite a bit. I would estimate 90% of the men smoke there, and there were times when I was just standing around waiting for my friend and only Korean translator I knew. I was pretty hairy at the time, beard, dreads to the small of my back, etc. I drew many stares and it made me uncomfortable at times. When I smoked one of those generic Korean cigs, I could lean up against a lightpole or building and be completely submerged in my activity. I felt as if I vanished from the scene for just a moment - just long enough to regain my sanity. Oh well...
As for the wisdom weed of Solomon, it can certainly help with many ails but can become a persistent habit as well. One bowl is fine to take the 'edge' off, but when you start smoking entire joints to your head throughout the day, it becomes just another smoking habit. Caution. Be moderate....
Then again, I'm not one to criticize!
