I still enjoy smoking at the moment, but all of my friends who successfully quit the first time did it with Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Smoking book. Apparently you continue to smoke while you're reading it but it turns you off it. When I do quit, I will be trying that after seeing how well it's worked for others. Maybe worth looking at, OP.
Why Haven't You Given Up Smoking Yet?

There is a saying in my country: Eyes not seen for a long time, are forgotten
If you totally avoid any contact with your former addiction, it`s likely not to remember how it felt or if you remember, since cigars aren`t in front of your eyes, that sensation it will pass soon
At least, it worked for me

Maybe I'm lucky, the Nicotine had no effect on me.

I cold-turkeyed it, and am off it for almost 31 months now, and I am confident that it is out of my blood and system completely.
Interestingly, I had a dream in the early morning (today), when I wanted to smoke (in dream) and somehow brought out a pack of 20 from my pocket, and almost got 1 cig on my lips... then I looked up and saw my elder sister staring at me angrily (lol) from her apartment balcony. I dropped the cig instantly! I got up at that moment... lol. No one allows me to have a fag even in my dreams.

I am irish.. i know its crazy, in a retarded way though.. no smoking at 8 isn't that normal. a lot of kids start smoking in Ireland when they start secondary school. so around 13 is when most people start.. But i have 2 friends from near by village who started at 5 (no joke) and started smoking weed at 8.. its madness. So many shops over here have no problem with selling to minors.. The school bus i used to go on would stop at the tobacconist every morning for like 25 kids to go in and get fags..
The Irish seem to like putting drugs in there body ASAP in life, alcohol, weed, tobacco, extacy, what ever. But i always presumed that it was the same in every other country.

WOW! Ireland school must sure be a place full of smoke! Do you also smoke while the classes are going on? Behind (actually in front of) the teacher's bums or in front of her (correction: eyes )? At home in front of parents? At parties? What time you kids have full s3x? 6 or 8, latest 9?

It's actually good to use regular mint gum since it keeps you occupied, plus instead of reaching into your pocket for a cigarette you can reach into your pocket and pull out a stick of gum.I'm not smoking ;-)
Smoked for 30 years then quit.
It'll be 8 years on July 1st, doddle
Seriously, it's easy to quit.
3 to 5 days of feeling a little bit shitty then it gets easier and easier from then on.
Use nothing, no patches or gum, just do it !

Get yourself an ecig man. Ya know, the ones where ya vape the nicotine. I've been off the smokes 3 months now using them. Ye im strung out on the ecig alright, but it's a lot better than smoking cigarettes and only costs me like 4 euro a week for the refills.
Ill get around to knocking that on the head eventually as well but one step at a time - for me anyway.
P.s Im Irish too so i know what you mean, but the ecig will just become your cigarette if you give it a chance. If you're on the beer ya might crack the first few nights your out and have a few smokes alright, but eventually you won't even want those.

E cigs have worked great for me...Smoked for 26 years, and finally bagged them when I found these variable voltage eGos that finally gave me a good throat hit. Bagged regular smokes back in 1st week of Jan, and maybe had like 5 total ever since; and only when my ecig battery died or ran out of juice. Regardless, don't miss the smell or the ashes everywhere...
I started when I was 7 :S

Where are you from? OP: Where are you from?
Allot of us in western countries don't realize how well our anti-smoking laws have worked. Australia is extremely strict on nicotine sales and they are taxed very highly. Every night on TV you will see 5 anti-smoking commercials an when we go over seas we can't believe how many people smoke.
There is a good VICE documentary on kids smoking in Indonesia because they don't have laws against it. They have large billboards with ads on them. It is kind of sad, but money rules the world I guess.

I know smoking is bad for you, however it would not be a complete lie if I told
you sometimes I do enjoy it. For me it's the psychological addiction. Thinking about
going over to vaping.
And I get tired of people pointing it out when I am trying to enjoy a smoke and
saying it is bad for me......well no shit sherlock is what I feel like saying. You don't
see me telling people the Big Mac at McDonalds is going to kill you one day. Hah and
in America it's a fact more people die from obesity than smoking.

Lol, it's good that you have that mentality, but never put that to the test...
I've been smoking for 2 years now. Ecigs have helped me cut back, but when I completely stop smoking I get very angry very fast over nothing. I exercise quite a bit so the shortness of breath really isn't an issue - I like them so much and it's tough to quit if you have been associating every emotion - happyiness, stress, anger - with a smoke every day of your life.
I guess my motivation just isn't there yet.

Its weird, the only sensation I get from it is the taste of the smoke, other than that no Nicotine high at all.

Nicotine is an addictive product. Most of the smoking product contain nicotine. That's why it become difficult to quit this habit.But one should avoid it as far as possible because it is malefic for health and causes various cancers.
