    Default Smoking Less...

    Okay...I don't like to admit it, but I smoke WAY too much. Just one glance into my trash can and you can see like 10 torquoise packages from Marlboro Smooths. I wish I would have never found these! Before I smoked Marlboro Lights and I would smoke like 2 a day. One before work and one after. When I started smoking Smooths I ended up loving them so much that I can't stop constantly wanting one. I smoke right when I get up. While I drink my coffee in the morning. While I drive to work in the morning. On my break. On my lunch break. As soon as I get off work I smoke like 3 on the way home. Then one when whichever friend calls me to chat about the day after they get off work. One or two while I watch Law and Order. One after I work out. Like three before I go to bed. So almost a pack a day. I haven't been eating nearly as much as I used too so now whenever I'm hungry instead of eating I have a cigarette. I don't necessarily want to quit. But how do I get out of this stupid habit of not being able to function without a cigarette in my hand? I could stop smoking this brand and only allow myself to by something I don't like - but then I wouldn't like it and I get all annoyed and just think about wanting these so I just buy them and say I'll pace myself but then I don't.

    Shit. I want one right now.

    I have smoked on and off since I was 22 and I am 38 now. I am in a smoking phase due to holiday stress(theres always a reason right?) I want to quit too. I feel really gross and like my cancer cells are multiplying as we speak. Someone help up us please.

    pooka, smoking is sometimes cause by people who need oral fixation. Try replacing it with gum, mint or lollipops.

    It was really hard for me to keep smoking when I moved to the same town as my best friend who HATES smoking. We were hanging out a lot and she wouldn't allow me to smoke around her. And then I met my bf and he doesn't smoke. Pretty soon, no one around me did, and that made it a whole lot easier. You already know what a trigger it can be to even see someone light up around you.

    I'd suggest starting slow since you smoke so much. Just set a few rules, start with the ones that are the easiest to stick to. Like, no smoking before a certain time in the morning, or one and a half cigarettes in the car on the way home. You know, just drop half a dozen cigarettes for a while, until you become okay with that and then go from there, like to no smoking inside..

    Thanks guys. I think I'll try the no smoking inside rule because I often smoke while while I'm checking my email and stuff.

    I've been thinking maybe I'll leave my cigarettes at home when I go somewhere so I wont smoke while I drive but last time I tried that I just stopped and bought more. I wish I could leave my i.d. at home because I always still get carded but I have to have my drivers liscense when I drive! Ughh.

    Ew, smooths.
    I can't stand those, my brother loves them too.

    Definitely try the candy/gum, it does help you cut back.
    I am the same way. I can go through a pack in a day, if not more...
    Horrible. If I could smoke 10 a day, I'd be great.
