saw this thread and wanted to say few words..

Its been 6 months since i quit and i don't have the urge like most people would say. Quiting is about your willingness. I have seen and done the REDUCE method but that does not really help. To make sure i do not carry packets with me i have even tried giving pack to friends so that i can only smoke when they are there but that does not help either. Reducing is no way to quitting.

And the most important thing in quiting smoking is avoid friends who smoke. As long as you have friend around you who puffs every five minutes i would say quitting is a BIG JOKE.

so what i did was, one morning i woke up and said "I am not smoking anymore". I still have my halft pack marlboro and 2 packs of SURYA sitting in my drawer. I did not throw them away just as a reminder that i quit and just in case i have a urge. But the good thing is i didn't have one for months and i don't think i will have one for years. Smoking is my submission to the bad habbit and i tried to distance myself now. It sure requires a strong will. And the half pack marlboro gives you just that.
