1st week: you always feel for biological need to smoke it.
2nd week: it's only psychological.
End of 1st month: you completely forget it, but sometimes u put your hand on your pocket as a reflex trying to take a cigarette hehe.
End of 3rd month: you will just miss it like hell, and remember the good old days when a cigarette made you put your head back and forgetttttttttttt.

If you're really serious about it you can immediatly stop, not even smoke "one last cigarette", just throw what's in front of you.

Well I don't smoke so all I can tell you is my opinion based on my friends experience. Some people find it much easier to cut back gradually...for example instead of having four a day they made my limit three. Then two. Then one...
Some tips for you:
Wash your teeth everytime you smoke! Date some fanatic anti-smoking person...

If it was with me I would prefer the radical solution, also called the Final Solution: Quit it NOW!
Like I said before, some friends of mine followed the final soultion with very good results. Some few days later, you're going to have to battle the psychological addiction... and every time that you do something that you associate with smoking, you're going to want a cigarette... But you must be strong! If you have Faith in God, you must quit smoking in His name! After all, you're killing yourself.
If you don't have Faith... well remember that smoking only looks good in films and fashion magazines

i am hopeless!!!

Take this advice what was proven by someone already: it doesnt really work gradually, you can not quit that way. You can cut it back a lil bit but you can not quit.

You have to decide to stop smoking, and right at that moment you put down the cigarette and never smoke it again.

You need strong determination, a will to do it, and psychological control too. You will have the urge to have something in your mouth or in between your fingers, bc it was like an addiction, so you have to find a solution for these spare activities.

There are so many harmes of the cigarette, if possible early death itself does not ring an alarm for you, then maybe your gf will motivate you, who would not kiss you if you smell like an ashtray:P

zouxi, don't stop =)) I'm telling you man, i stopped, then decided to go back, because there's nothing like a fine cigarette when it's cold outside just after rain in the morning. Or after finishing a fine man2oucheh with extra.

;)

Omeros, you can always give it a try, this way you will know what both options really are, and then you choose.

My fellow doctor, shame on you :D OK, I don't smoke but I may take a few puffs of a good arguileh

Smoking is BAD. The best way to reduce smokers is to increase the prices. Here in Canada, a 20 cigs pack is up to 10$ ! You'll think twice before paying 300$ per month for smoking.

i tried all kinds of non smoking tips but nothing helped so far. i tried the famous chewing gum, i tried the boday nictoine patch, i tried the spray and many other methods and also in vain.

However, i only smoke one pack/ per day and also lights , ya3ni i don;t think it hurts too much.

I started smoking because a friend of mine told me that if you smoke 10 cigarettes every day you will loose weight.

And now it has been 3 years from ever since i started smoking and i didn't loose any pound yet !!!!!!

ma l3amal ya toura????
