Only day 4 and you're done?

You were never a smoker. Liar.

Good luck, keep it up.

Great job on quitting! I actually just quit 1 week and 5 days ago! I bought that "Smoke Away" stuff and it really worked! I was very pleased with the results. I was a 1.5 pack/day smoker for about 9 years and was able to quit cold turkey with no withdrawl symptoms!! Seems like a lot of people have been quittin' this year!

Once you make it to a month with out a single drag of a cig then you can say you quit.

I've been there, before quitting I tried many times and failed, went as far as two weeks and started again.

But now I'm on my third year of being smoke free.

You can do it!

Cold turkey is the way to do it, but I mean, seriously, you couldnt have been that addicted if you arent feeling withdrawl symptoms after 4 days...

either way, keep it up..

I have been smoking since I have ever learned how to use a lighter.
And for some reason it's a very pshycological thing for me, like I remember once going home and ran out of smoke in the middle of the night, and was too tired to go and buy more and the next day I got some people over (fckn relatives :) ) and I didn't have time to go grab cigarettes so I delayed it till the next day and the next day I decided that I don't really feel like it, and went on for two years like that, then after that last year went back after getting my ass kicked in a midterm thanks to my asshole professor! And now I am still smoking, but I have this feeling that I am going on another two year brake and perhaps make it final, I really make the decesions when it comes to quitting, if the stress isn;t too high and the mood is ok then smoking be gone :D
