You've got to want to give up. If you want to you will. If you don't you'll start up again so you may as well just enjoy the fags until you do want to stop.
I guess different things work for different people. I just stopped buying fags, others like to make a bit of a ceremony of it.
As I said earlier in this very thread, when I quit I knew immediately that I was done with smoking. I knew. Couldn't tell you how or why. It felt different to every other attempt to quit.
I have bummed the odd fag now and then over the years. Only when I've had a lot to drink and need to raise the blood pressure a bit. It's never made me want to buy a packet or start again. I've smoked cigars and again, not had the inclination to follow them up with fags.
James wondered if smoking weed was better than fags. No. If you're mixing it with tobacco, no proper filter then of course it's worse than just having a fag.
