Re: I quit smoking cigarettes six months ago.
Congrats!!! That's fantasic. My dad quit over 4 years ago and while I was visiting him in Mexico a week and a half ago, he would come outside with me while I had a smoke because he still loves the smell of cigarettes. Don't know if the craving ever goes away. Guess I'll find out when I quit.Awww...I didn't mean A holes, as in "A holes"...I meant it like, as in, my friends....

Re: I quit smoking cigarettes six months ago.
i used to smoke cigs then quit. started smokin cigars once a week. a few months later, i began to do some light runs to stay in shape. since then ive got more serious about runs & maybe smoke a cigar once every six months. just wasnt worth for my next 2 training sessions to get bogged down by smokin.Comment

Re: I quit smoking cigarettes six months ago.
quit a year and a half ago and I'll be damned if I could go without one when I drink...so I give in when drinking, but no more than 1 or 2 and then I don't have any for a few weeks...til the next time I drink and give into it.

Re: I quit smoking cigarettes six months ago.
I quit 6 months ago too and the craving is still there, especially on weekends when I'm out drinking. I don't get it when I'm at work or home, so it's just the environment. I just spent 8 days in Hong Kong and smoked pretty much every night because we were out drinking every night, was developing a sore throat midway into the holiday and had to hold back. The mouth and tongue also felt like shit the next day
Haven't touched a stick the whole week I've been back, and haven't felt the urge yet ... Friday will be the test

Re: I quit smoking cigarettes six months ago.
First of all good on you all of you who have given up or are trying to. I was an incredibly heavy smoker and tried everything to give !! I had resigned myself to being a smoker for life and a friend dragged me along to a smokenders meeting. I joined up and it worked !! I haven't smoked in years and don't have the craving either!! They teach you how stupid a habit it is and give you structured information on ways to overcome it,
I don't know if they are anywhere else in the world , if they are sign up asap!! If they aren't, this book apparently has a lot of the information and tips that they use. Quite a few people I know have highly recommended it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Allen-Carrs-.../dp/0140277633
Good Luck.!!! It was the best thing I ever did. !!
Btw The only negative for me is that for a little while I used to dream I had been smoking and used to wake up in the morning feeling guilty

Re: I quit smoking cigarettes six months ago.
You will never fully get over the cravings while drinking. You will fully get over the cravings however while sober. I was a pack-a-day smoker for several years and eventually you just view it differently, but it takes a long time. Speaking of smoking, Marlboro just sold their office located in Downtown Manhattan for $600million, the must be loosing profit share in some area.
It was fun while it lasted...
