thanks man..yeah that is like 7 bucks a day..well 6.50 for a pack of nat shermans, which is what i used to smoke anyways.... ill probably put it toward what i already OWE for buying too much crap for the GS i dont need lol.... more than likely stick it in a big jar so i can laugh at my self after a few weeks when i realize how much money ive wasted over the past 10 yrs.

mr. aristo

Good luck on kicking the habit.....you can do it. I also quit cold turkey. After 25 years of 3.5 packs a day I quit cigarettes, alcohol, pot, and coke all at once cold turkey. It has been 11 years, 7 months, and 4 days. You won't regret it.

i quit last year... cold turkey. Woke up one day and said **** it i quit TODAY.

the craving lasts for almost 2 mins..just keep yourself occupied while it goes away... it takes about 4 days for the nicotine to get out of your system... just drink alot of water and keep yourself busy.
