I don't have much experience with Hooka Tabacy but having quit smoking I can say that NOTHING you smoke is good for you. Smoking anything can lead you back to cigarettes again. Stay away from it.

I smoked for 30yrs. When I met my wife & she was a nonsmoker. She made me use a breath mint befor she would let me kiss her. Now that I dont smoke I still have to use the mint. The smoke does taste bad tro some one who is not use  t o the taste. Remember the taste when u liteup the first time? How bad did u cough the first time. Thats how nonsmokers feel..

I quit smoking a year ago and the only thing wich worked for me was quitting cold turkey,and doings things i like wich kept me busy like reading, web surfing and each time i felt i was craving for it I´d eat lil chocolate or fruit,I think the best was substituting one habit for another , we´re all diferent and we all might need to use different strategies =). A strong will might be the only thing in common that can help us all..

Not if you are trying to quit.  Think of all the negative side effects of cigarets.

i think something society completly oversees is how powerful our minds our. Mind over matter. If you ever experiment with hallucinogenic drugs, you will quickly realize this. Now though your on the right track with quitting by the half life of the radiation particles that is in tobacco last 30 years or so. So your chances of getting lunger cancer are very very high right now even though you quit.\n\nCheck out this article about some very interesting things you could be doing to help you now that you quit. \n\nCongrats by the way.

I don't think so.  Smoking is stupid, and that's coming from someone who smokes and has tried to quit several times.  If I could go back in time and change 1 thing, I would have never started to smoke.

Set a date 4 months into the future and say you will not smoke until then. If you still want to smoke then, take it up again.\n\nAfter 3 months you will find the craving has vanished. This worked for me. I wasn;t going to spend the rest of my life craving a cigarette. Nicotine patches help some. But the important thing is to not smoke at all while you are giving up. Throw them away now, and if you want, take it up again in 4 months.\n\nMy mum died of smoking related causes, and she was still asking people to take her outside for a smoke while she was in palliative care. Don't end up like her, it is not a pleasant way to die, and not pleasant to watch it.

Quitting smoking is the hardest thing to do.  I quit 4 months ago.  I smoked 2-4 packs a day for over 40 years.  I never considered quitting until they took me to the hospital by ambulance.  I have 1st stage emphysema which is a miracle but will live with the consequences of smoking for the rest of my life.  I wish you well.  I can not imagine smoking one cigarette a day.  It seems a bit ridiculous.  However, if you smoke one cigarette a day, it seems that would not necessarily be bad for you.  Tobacco is an herb and has medicinal properties, but you would have to grow the tobacco yourself, since each cigarette produced by our huge tobacco companies has been enhanced with over an hundred chemicals which go directly to the brain and cause the craving and addiction which has proven too difficult for some people to quit even to the point of death.  I loved smoking for most of my life but have been devastated at the horror of coming "off" of this drug for the last 4 months but am determined to remain smoke free.  I have tried the commit lozenges, nicotrol gum, a nicotrol inhaler and the patch and am using the gum right now.  Hopefully, I will be able to get off of all nicotine by the end of this year but in any case, I am no longer polluting my environment and causing grave harm to my health.  There is a huge pool of resources available to "quitters".  I have used them all, even down to a counselor that I got by calling 1-800-nobutts.  Again, I wish you well.

You will probably want a cigarette for a long time. I have been off cigarettes now for two years and I STILL want one. It is funny though. Your brain makes you think it is better than it really is. If you think you NEED one - then do have one, you more than likely will be disapointed as it was not as good as you expected. It is hard no doubt, but it gets easier the longer you are off them. I know many people that, like myself quit smoking by using the nicotine gum. I started on the Nicorette, and now I am perfectly happy on the Kroger brand @ $29 for 110 pieces. Just remember - when you are craving a cigarette, the craving will pass REGARDLESS if you smoke or not. Goodluck to you, it can be done - and you will happy you did.

Well done! If you've really not smoked for 4 months you have QUIT. The cravings are psychological; you're used to having something in your hands and mouth. You may miss the flavour of tobacco but the physical "need" is long gone.\nRealise this; you've cracked it. And tell yourself you have no need to go back.\nFigure out how much you were spending a week on ciggies and save it up for a month to give yourself a treat of something that you really enjoy. You'll be surprised once you do the math at how much money you were burning every month.

You know- I've smoke for 21 years and tried to quit 7 times. I tried the patch, the gum, slowly cutting down.  I got pissed about the price and tried to quit 2 years ago again, and I was cheating in three days.  6 months ago I finally had enough, I quit cold turkey bought a motorcycle , and every time i wanted to smoke I got on that bike and rode the hell out of it-  The upshot is you realy have to want to quit, and I guess that you have to reward yourself adequately for doing it--Best of luck!

try to get addicted to something less harmfull. Or if you want to just quit, ive heard that cold turkey is the easiest, interms of withdrawels. Or the patch, or the gum. But remember, if you have not been smoking for a VERY long time, when you quit, in time your lungs will be about as healthy as they were before you started smoking. Don't give up on it even if it is hard.

Well, I've never tried the gum or the patch. I've smoked for ten years and have recently stopped smoking for good. My doctor told me that if I could go twenty-four hours without a cigarette and roll that over into a whole week then the desire to smoke will leave me forever. Well I'm here to tell you that I haven't  had a cigarette since the 4th of June. The first three days are the toughest. After awhile though, the desire does leave. It works! It really does! -effort and determination.
