    Only do it if you want to quit. Unless you have made up your mind to do it, it will not work. Once you have come to the decision to do it, do it. Do not wait until you finish this pack or the next one. I quit cold turkey, some find it easier to use patches and gum.

    Congrats RWB! I am going to try the patches. Cold turkey didn't work out so good... nicotine is stronger than I am I guess.

    Congrats RWB, OK laughing beetle you may have to cut out a few things at first. Beer and especially COFFEE just don't taste the same along with talking on the phone, driving or just sitting on the porch. I couldn't quit, tried for years, stopped for 8 mos. and started again. I can eat & drink what I want now but it's try and try again, I hope you make it.

    Ive been smoking for about 3 years .... and I have quit by alternating to chewing tobacco... first skoal, and then to levi garret.... the levi stuff has very little nicotine in it, and made quitting very easy. After I got sick of the taste of the chew it was all over.

    Not that Im reccomending it, Just saying what works for me.

    I know a guy that quit cold turkey and got the jitters for 3 weeks after he quit, talk about withdrawal.

    What he said, If your going to quit then just do it. For me Beer and Smoking went togeather like Peas and Carrots, So I quit them both, And dont get me wrong, It was a *^&%$ for about a week. But if I can you Can

    Good luck! You in the hospital by any chance?

    About a week before my dad died, a day or so before he was moved to a private room, I was talking to the terminally ill man in the other bed. He hadn't had any visitors I knew of, so I asked him if he needed anything. He smiled and said "A hamburger and a cold beer." About a half hour later, I was keeping lookout at the door in case a nurse showed up.

    This June will be 20 years smoke free. Haven't had much more alcohol either.

    If your smoking around me then hope you're on fire. Otherwise the fire extinguisher is sure to pi$$ you off.:high:
