Yea i've definitely paid more that 3.78 a pack. I smoked american spirits and i live in NY. Those shit's cost like 7.50 a pack.
I totally remember my underage smoking days, the good ol days where i never though i'd get hooked, where i remember feeling like i could quit if i wanted to with no problem. Should've done it then.

in australia it costs about $10-$14 for a pack of 25's or 30's depending on what brand.
is it $3.78 a pack in the states? If that's the case then I see why acid is $25 a hit and pills are $30-$35

Blissedout - while i know you were trying to be nice offering me cheap cigarettes but uh don't you think it's a bit absent minded of you to offer to get me cheap buy one get ones of american spirits (which by the way i've NEVER seen in NY with american spirits) when i'm on my way to leading a nicotine free life? hehehe Thanks for the offer though.
Oh and about the pics, yea the next time i go over to my brother in laws house i'll be sure to scan them in (prolly sometime this week) I'm really sorry it's taking so long, but don't worry, you're the first person i will send them too.

I have a general question for the people who quit for months and then started agian. WHY? like what made you pick a cigarette up again? After all that time? what made you want to actually smoke, what was so different that time around than any other time you craved one?
I gotta say Newbie, it feels really good to read this post. I guess i quit a day or two after you did. Tracking your progress feels great at 1:30 AM when i really want a cigarette and have zero pot to distract my addiction. I'm on my 4th day and yea i totally feel you. I've been coughing a bit as well. The first two days were the hardest right? Headaches, extreme fits of anger? AH! Those first 2 days are motivation enough for me you know? Cause i know i don't want to smoke forever so the thought of picking up another cigarette and going through that first day again is... horrifying. What i've replaced with ciggies is water. on this 4th day the times i really CRAVE a cigarette is like when i walk out of the door to my house or when i get off the train. I feel like one of Pavlov's dogs... Well good luck. It feels good to know that someone else is on my page. It feels damn good though doesn't it?
I'm still clean :-) I've come to realize it really is all mental. Kind of like a false craving. I only think about them when it's a normal time for me to smoke one. I also replaced them with water. I carry water everywhere. And I went on a diet too so I'm trying to use all of these positive changes to overcome the cravings for good. I just envision myself after my diet and after my lungs clear up and I really like what I see. Keep up the battle!

Amen to that newbie! yea my friend keeps telling me , just wait till the third week when you feel like you'll be able to handle a drag , that's when it's really hard. I don't think i'll have a problem keeping this up. it really is mental after a while! Like i crave it just because i used to have it at certain points of the day. i just keep telling myself, oh i don't do that anymore. I really don't think i'll pick up a cigarette again. the first couple of days when i said that i was like, damn... no cigarette ever again!!! now i'm like "shit i don't want cyanid in my system" and it's that easy.

I wouldn't say it's THAT easy...
I still have times where my own mind is saying, "Just do it...get a pack of Newport 100's and just puff away. You live once, you're happy when you do it, plus it's been a while...you'll get light headed! Remember that niiiiice menthol cooling your lungs after a long bong rip? DO IT DO IT DO IT!"
I just wanna get a baseball bat and viloently beat the shit out of that voice. But instead I just grab my gum :-(

I never did the gum thing, Ive quit twice b4 the last time was for good tho. During a crazy trip on acid, I lost a pack of cigs and when the craving came over me I just puked, right then and there. It was just this little plop of puke but it just had this crazy vibe about it. It felt like all the evil cigs had filled me with, it was disgusting/powerful enough that I knew what I had to do. To this day I only have a cig every now and then when I'm drinking at the bar. Water is prolly the thing that got me through the hard times, when my mind would start getting the best of me Id pound a glass of water. The only bad thing is it seems like usually people trade one addiction for another, be it chewing, eating, or whatever. The trick is replace it with a healthy addiction, I took up playing foot bag and drinking alot of water, now I cant leave the house without a jug of water instead of my Marlboros!

Still going strong for almost 2 weeks now. My cravings are very minimal to none, and it's coinciding nicely with my diet. Despite an oncomming depression I have a lot more energy and I feel a whole lot better inside than when I smoked.
