Sean, do you enjoy smoking? Serious question.... I really do enjoy smoking but unfortuantely it is not socially acceptable any longer especially with my current job. So I don't smoke on a daily or even weekly basis. If I was a college student, enjoying Euro life, I wouldn't attempt to quit, and just enjoy your life. Smoking does not gurantee death by lung cancer, it just heightens the probability. In America, each day an average of 10 people drown, 25 die from AIDS, 118 are killed in automobile accidentsEnjoy your life, it's not always about living until your 102 and senile

I do and I don't enjoy it. A few cigarettes are ok but sometimes when I drink I can finish a pack in the night. I don't have a problem with smoking now but I am more concerned with creating the foundation of a greater problem in future which I why I want to quit now.

Most people, if they had a choice in the matter wouldn't being driving to work everyday. Driving is a necessity and people for the most part know that it's not particularly safe. Plus, it's not about living to 102, it's about having quality of life as long as you can. Smoking, in no way that I can think of, leads to better QOL. Medically unhealthy, makes smokers smell and look like hell, and cuts lung capacity which then leads to poorer health, less capability to exercise, less energy, and so on. Sure there are unsafe activities people participate in often, but let me climb a dangerous mountain over a statistically safer 10 min nicotine buzz anytime.

It's an oral fixation that you can not get over. Keep a pack of regular gum with you all the time, and chew instead of smoke. Or find something else to keep your mouth occupied!

Try cutting a straw to the length of a cigarette. When you get the urge, inhale thru the straw. Sounds silly, but that's how I quit after smoking a pack a day for 16 years.

I agree with the above if smoking has become a habit. I think a social smoker who has 3-5 cigarettes a week shouldnt feel the same amount of pressure to stop.
After Seans last post saying he can smoke a pack in a night, well thats no longer social smoking........

The pack in a night has only happened twice. Normally I smoke maybe a pack in a week, if that. I really depends on if I am at Uni a long time (depends on the paper I write for) and how often I go out (often, I am in Uni, plus it's Europe!).

I don't see the big deal with having smoking a few cigarettes when you go out... if you enjoy it.
I used to smoke socially for about 10 years, then one day, they didn't taste good anymore, so I stopped. If you like to smoke, do it.
