Whatever you do don't switch to weaker cigs.
If you can survive it, smoke stronger cigs, like Marlboro Reds. Smoke till you get sick.
When you finally wise up you'll relate getting sick to smoking cigs and never smoke again. Everytime you even smell a cig you'll feel the sickness in the back of your head. I went as far as getting bleeding ulcers and throwing up blood, and getting a hacking cough that put me on my knees.
This worked for me. Probaby the dumbest advice ever but for me it was worth it because I'm off cigs, and will NEVER go back.
My friends who went to "lights" who smoked "less" all still smoke to this day, some quit but went right back, because they "love" it so much. I don't have that problem anymore.
When I started smoking....
Ok maybe I should explain a little first. I smoke cigs, but not very often. I smoke socially, with friends, since all my friends smoke. And a cig after a bowl makes the bowl that much better. Not only that, but I enjoy the act of smoking, whatever it may be, I just find smoking enjoyable. Something about inhaling smoke into my lungs...just feels good. I've never bought my own cigarettes, I always bum off friends when I do smoke. Sometime's if I've been smoking too much I'll start noticing everytime my friends light up and want one myself, that's when I quit for awhile, don't smoke cigs at all for at least a month. This way I still get to smoke ocassionaly, but it's not a habit or anything for me.
Now - When I smoke, it's almost always Camel wides. That's what I started on since that's what my friends smoke, and that's what I still smoke when I do smoke. So, if I was to start smoking habitually, and wanted to quit, that little trick of yours DD probably wouldn't work real well...
...well, I guess there's always Lucky Strikes...so, nvm.
EDIT:
Oh and Lec, don't let your friends peer pressure you into going to the doctor. Especially if it's just a stupid common cold. It's their job to worry about you more than they should. Go to the doctor if
you think you should. You wouldn't want to waste money on an unnesessary doctor visist now would you?
