i know what your saying but if you want to quit or just cut down quit for 3 days you'll stop getting cravings after then

saying that you dont crave after 3 days is a lie, i am currently quiting and havent smoked for just over a week. i am still craving. the best time to quit or cut down is to start when you are ill, its alot easier to not smoke whilst you are ill, and say to yourself that you are only going to have 2 this week or something, set targets, thats the key

ask a shrink

i have to have something that i'm addicted to or everything feels all wrong. currently, if i'm not smoking or so caffeinated that i make gir from invader zim look sane, i get really anxious. so i get where you're coming from.

Ok. Well Ive read the above and I have a couple things to say. First of all, if youve only been smoking for 6 months than do yourself a favor and stop while the withdrawl isnt horrible.
I had my first ciggarette at 11 and was addicted to cigarettes by the time I was 12. Ive been a full time smoker since then.
You might think it completes you now, but 40 years down the road all it will have done for you is waste your money and fill your body with toxins.
I have quit smoking twice in my entire life. The first time was managable. I had only been smoking for 7 months. Simalar to you. The second time I quit for 3 months, with a carton in my bedside table. I regret picking up a cigarette and lighter to this day. I have yet to quit for good.
Im telling you that you want to quit while you can, because before to long, your world will stop turning if you are without cigarettes. Its honeslty rediculous how people of all shapes and sizes become addicted to tiny tubes filled with a dried leaf.
You dont want to be on the outside looking in. Stay on the couch while you can dood. Save your money and buy a hot car. Do yourself a favor.

That's completely misleading.

I considered myself a smoker for life; I didn't like some aspects of it but always loved smoking.

I managed to quit for a year after 5 years of smoking. Then I took it up for another 2-3 years, and now just recently I've quit for the past two months.

The point is: It is bad, but you can only quit successfully if you do not want to smoke and do not enjoy it. Hence the problem most people face.

I quit to stop wasting money, that was my motivational, otherwise I don't give a f--- about its health consequences or image implications..

guess what...my parents are smokers and i always yell at them for smoking and mi dad almost died so quit now or u can go die in a hole and burn!!

and if i find u ill make u smoke 4 ciguratts and i'll put the ashes in a cup fill the cup wit water ler the cup wit ashes and water sit for a day or two and make u drink that'!remember hole and burn!!

That's what I mean! I feel like I NEED an addiction for some reason.

I think it is OK to be addicted to an addiction; the idea of pain leading to growth is most likely responsible for this "addiction-craving." I'm not saying quit smoking, but maybe try something "healthier" like working out too hard reading too much. Then pay attention to how/if your addiction to smoking changes at all. That way you can find out if you are addicted to addiction in general or smoking :)

That is the addiction in itself. That's just how you feel it.

God people are insecure

Learn to spell then insult.

I'm not a smoker, but I've always felt that's it's just something that I've always thought would be a nice addition to my person, but then, I always thought about the consequences.

I'd say it's normal, but it's because of the addiction, because s lot of things can fill that same space.

I am a smoker. I enjoy everything about it. From the feeling, the anticipation of a cigarette after a meal, to the almost sort of...ritualistic manner behind it. I can go without a cigarette. If I do not have any, or don't feel the need to buy any, I wont. I sometimes crave them when I don't have them. Would I have started had I known that I would be spending this much money? Negative. I've started, I cannot, nor do I want to stop. BUT I do not feel that the addiction completes me. I would much rather have a healthy addiction to something that actually takes me somewhere. I'm not telling you to quit smoking, although it is in everyones best interest to do so. But maybe you could work on finding something productive to become addicted to rather than something that by fact, destroys you. You'll spend much less money on cigarettes if you keep yourself occupied with something productive.

I want to quit smoking cuz I know how bad it is but I really enjoy smoking. I think its just how addictions work. I love to smoke after a big meal, its great. I couldnt see my life without them anymore. It sucks! your normal
