Any ex smokers out there? Options

Seriously, what is the most effective way to quit? I wish I could just get a shot that magically made me not want to smoke any more. After my uncle died this year of liver cancer, I promised my mom I wouldn't let her bury me and want to quit for her. Yet I think about the consequences, I know it is a matter of will power (not my strongest suit). Do those patches really work? The gum doesn't cut it for me. Anyways, I just thought I would ask.

I had a heart attack at 28... I considered it a wake up call after smoking for 15 years... plus being strapped to a hospital bed for 4 days made it pretty easy...

$#!T man! I am glad you are ok, that is brutal!

Last year I went cold turkey for a month and then came right back. I went for a 2nd try since Feb of this year (my bday), and I haven't smoked since.

1. When I wake up in the morning, my chest doesn't feel congested anymore.
2. When I run, exercise, do labor work, I no longer have headaches.
3. My breathe smells better, no more cigarette smell.
4. Better oral hygiene.
5. MOST CHICKS HATE SMOKERS.


And the best part, you'd be amazed how people look at you. Smoker and non-smoker friends all gave me thumbs up for quitting. It just makes you feel good. Feels like an accomplishment. Something that I cherish everyday, and will try my best not to destroy it by going back.

Well, so far so good!





Edit: I had something that helped me quit the 2nd time, it is simply a pack of "Red Double Happiness" cigarette from China. It is 10x stronger than Camel and Marlboro Red, and 10x more bitter than Winston. After a pack of that ****, I kept having headaches and I felt like I was gonna die. I quitted. So... China actually made something that helped me..

Hey, I know this is off topic, but I also wanted to tell you that your Sig is BAD@$$! I love it! Looks like something from a movie.
