Only you and others who have gone thru this can truly understand the accomplishment.

Sincere congratulations.

Now..how much money do you think you've saved this week?

true that.

One week was however my goal and now that I proved that I can reach it I can once again light up. Just kidding on that last part.

As a kid, I was soo happy that my mom quit smoking. Cold turkey, too.
Back when I heard that expression (I just moved to Canada, my language skillz were not l33t then) I actually thought it had something to do with eating cold turkey meat.

Anyhow, when my mom quit smoking, me and my brother had access to candy ALL OVER THE HOUSE. It was awesome.

Great job, turd, uhm, terd, (*chuckles*)!!
You're not over the hill yet. You never will be, so don't go thinking "oh, just one won't be so bad". You're never ever allowed to smoke again. Kind of like ackahaulism.
You may now think that sucks, but it doesn't. You don't need to smoke, just like you don't need to poke yourself in the eye.

Almost to the 6 month smoke free for me, still using nicotine. But really don't miss cigarettes now. After 38 years of smoking and many attempts to quit.

Congrats Terd!!! A week is awesome, and you really are over the hardest part. You have maybe a month or so of thinking about it fairly regularly to get through then it becomes much, much easier.

There were times when I was quitting that had the urge hit me at the wrong time, like standing in line at the store, or the gas station, I would have to fight to not buy. Now I can think of it whenever and there is just about zero urge.

Congrats on going a week without that nasty tobacco weed! Smoking is a nasty, anti-social habit. Remember: There's no we in weed.

Well, actually, there is, but you know what I mean.

I gave up in 1974 from being an 80+ full strength a day smoker. The best thing I have ever done!!

Every day gets easier although the analogy with an alcoholism is true for a while, you will get to the point of not thinking about tobacco any longer much quicker that you may think.

I have to disagree on that. It is not anti-social, quite the opposite. As smoker (yep I failed a few times giving up) I always meet people from the building I work in and chat. I always know what's going on in the building and with other companies - I love gathering information.

I have also never heard a smoker abuse a non-smoker. Might be the company I keep but nevertheless. I did get abused my non-smokers who joined a group in the smoking department, telling us all to stop smoking because she was there now!!!!

Most smokers I know are considerate enough to acknowledge non-smokers and move aside or even leave the room to smoke. Funny, how the parties in our house always end up outdoors including the majority of people that are non-smokers. And sorry, I can't move further outside than outside.

Yes, there are smokers who are dropping the butts on the ground - SHAME ON THEM. Neither me nor my husband belong to that category, we have pocket ashtrays.


Lets not forget the amount of extra taxes smokers contribute. And the jobs. You might all not like smokers, and yes, smoking might kill you one day, but why do you think smoking hasn't been outlawed yet? Because of the taxes and attached infrastructure. No country can yet afford to do that. Sick smokers are a drain on the health system you say? Yes sure, but only because the tobacco taxes we are paying is used elsewhere. If Australia would have used those taxes and put them into the healthsystem, it would be the best in the world. And I am sure that goes for other countries as well.

To combat the changed smoking rules / laws here in Australia we now have GST. And there is already a whisper of increasing those (admittedly it's only a pathetic 10% atm) due to so many people stopping.

So, while you and I applaud Happy with trying and so far succeeding to quit (and I hope you make it) I am getting rather over the 'Smoker bashing' here.

I don't call non-smokers names nor say they are anti-social (well I kind of just have). I accept their choices and applaud their wisdom to stop or never have started. I just wish, non-smokers would show me the same tolerance.
