I'm right there with you homie.
I haven't smoked in over a week or so.. I've been smoking for over ~13 years. It's not really that bad.. the mental addiction is the hardest part. I wish I had some bud to smoke.
Stay strong brotha!

It's not really "hard" per se... just every time I pass by the store I have the urge to buy some cigs. I smoked one last week on a whim.. after not smoking for 4 days.. and it didn't really do much for me, except make me question why the fuck I've been so fiendishly addicted to those things for the past 10+ years. It's more of a like, a mental comfort thing than anything else.. the act of smoking them. The actual physical withdrawal is like, almost nothing.. whatever. I just have to get over the mental/psychological addiction.. I figure if I can go a whole month without smoking one I will have won. They say it takes 21 days of consistency to break a habit forever and become hard-wired in that new mentality. So I'll just give myself an extra week on top of that.

Shit, that really helps that somebody I've personally met is going through the same thing. And ya, the physical withdrawal isn't that bad, I'm not even really that cranky, but I'm just so used to smoking a cigarette multiple times a day.
Sitting around at home, bored, what to do? Ponder life and have a smoke!
I hear ya on the wishing you had a bag of weed, though. That would really alleviate the hand to mouth fixation. I've taken up a bit of exercising to try and help take my mind off of it. I've found I can run a hell of a lot farther now, and I was lifting weights for a little bit while I had the facilities to do so.

I quit 2-3 years ago. Best thing I ever did for my body. I will never go back to cigs. But even now, this long into. Every once in a while i'll get the cigarette craving when I see someone smoking especially at a bar or something. I will still even dream of a cig every now and then. But nothing like the first 3 months. It's kinda something you have to stay persistent about and set the thought in stone that you aren't going to smoke anymore. Now, their just fucking disgusting and appalling to me.

It really depends on how bad you actually wanna quit. In the last 6 or 7 years i quit for 6 months. It proved to be a lot easier than i though, within about 2 weeks i was excited to have quit i felt refreshed, things smelled and tasted better. and i felt great.
I quit pretty much for the similar reasons you did vortex. I was at bonnaroo and was ecstatic that American Spirits were 30 bucks a carton. I smoked more than a pack a day and just so happened to be dating this guy who didn't smoke and was like kind of a health freak until you would put some sort of white powder in front of him. but he hated cigarettes so i quit. More for me than for him but he was an added reason after a while.
It is more mental than physical. it's good to use something to replace your cigarettes with. water, or chocolate. they say sugar helps calm cravings.
as for wooing this sweet ass chick. make the bitch some dinner and watch a movie!

lol yeah... those NY prices are absurd. $6-7 a pack? It doesn't help that I'm in the middle of VA, the average pack around here is about $2.50. Goddamn I need some weed

all my friends smoke, it sucks
when i've got a drink in me it's really hard. i never smoke cigarettes but there's always a joint with tobacco going around.
the only way i'm gonna manage to quit is to make a decision between weed and beer, and drop one of them for good.
i've done really well , i used to smoke a lot, now sometimes i don't smoke weed for a week or two, but as soon as i get a bag i sit and smoke through it in a night, i can't save weed, if it's sitting there i get all cypress hill

i'm not worried about weed either but it leads to a lot of situations where everyone is smoking joints and i'm sitting with a pipe. i can either be antisocial and not share or i can load everyone a pipe and bye-bye weed.
either that or hit the bong and then i smoke myself retarded while everyone else is still functional, lol

lol, so sadly true. i was pretty anti-smoking right up until the day i started smoking cigarettes.
