YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT THAT DAY. ITS YOUR WEDDING. I DID IT ON MINE AND NOT ONE PERSON SAID ANYTHING TO ME. IF THEY DO JUST SAY THAT YOU ARE NERVOUS AND TO MIND THIER OWN BUSINESS. ITS NOT A BIG DEAL. ME AND MY HUSBAND BOTH DID IT. MAYBE OTHER GUESTS OR MEMBERS WILL JOIN YOU

It was a very relaxing experience. I went through a session of hypnotherapy in an attempt to quit smoking. The doctor had me under for about 30 minutes. I was concious during the whole session, but was aware I had been hypnotyzed; he mentioned my hands and arms were so relaxed and light that they began to float, and I could tell they were in the air. I felt rested and relaxed afterwards and had no recolection of smoking for almost a week. Unfortunately, I did not repeat the treatment, but later decided to quit cold-turkey and haven't smoked in almost a year.

Not long if you don't smoke.

Cold turkey. I did and yesterday was my 3 year anniversary with no smoking. My sister has tried with the patches and gum, but since it keeps giving you nicotine, she can't quit that way. It really isn't that hard to stop on your own, the cravings will stop after four or five days. Have confidence in yourself!

First, I cut down to about 6 per day. Then I just stopped cold turkey. I didn't tell anyone I was quitting until weeks after my last cigarette. That way, I wasn't constantly reminded of it. I worked in restaurants, so I acted really busy when the other people in the kitchen went out for smoke breaks. No one asked me about it for three weeks. Quitting was so much easier than I ever thought it would be. It's been two years. I haven't cheated, and I don't want to. I get sick much less often now, and when I do get a cold, it just lasts a couple days. I really support the cold turkey method, but you have to find a way to get cigarettes off your mind while you're quitting. Good luck. Someday soon, you'll be happy to know you're a nonsmoker.

I am currently trying to quit smoking myself. It is the hardest thing I have ever done!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been using the patch to help with the cravings, but the adhesive on them is giving me a rash, and they don't stay put very well. I can honestly say that any of the remedies out on the market will help, the small amount of medication contained in them is extremely safe compared to the toxic chemicals found in cigarettes. You might think that I am insane, but I printed a book off of the internet called "Never take another Puff", it really opened my eyes on alot of things about smoking. You can get it by going to nevertakeanotherpuff.com. I also do a little exercise that I saw discussed on an episode of Oprah, every time I see my reflection in a mirror, a window etc... I say to myself...I AM NOT A SMOKER, SMOKERS ARE DISGUSTING, THEY SMELL BAD...ETC. I AM A BEAUTIFUL ___________ (fill in gender)and BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE DO NOT SMOKE. It sounds silly, but it does give you a boost of will power. Just don't give up the fight. The average smoker will attempt 7 times to quit before kicking the habit, I am on my 3rd...lol Good luck and I will say a prayer for you, peace.

First i stopped smoking when i went on holiday, so that i was outside of my normal environment which made it a bit easier.  Then i just stopped.  Was hell for the first 7 days, horrible for the next 21 days, not nice for a couple of months, and then got to be normal not smoking. \n\nGood luck

I was a smoker for what seemed to be eternity.  The worst was smoking around someone who was attempting to quit.  They would claim it didn't bother them, insist I light up, and then drool and twitch during each drag I took.  It was painful for both of us.  On the other hand, I have also been around smokers after I first stopped smoking.  It was pure torture.  Just the smell of the cigarette alone was enough to send me into tremors.  Sometimes I would break down and bum a cigarette.  I couldn't get away with that too often because I'd get the "Oh, so you didn't quit smoking you just quit buying" speech.  Even when I wasn't around smokers, my mind would obsess about smoking.  I'd think to myself, maybe I'll just have one after dinner.  Or, maybe I'll just smoke when I have a few drinks.  I'll just keep an emergency pack in the freezer just in case I really need one.  Well, eventually all the obsessing ended and I came to the realization that I'm better off not smoking.  But, truth be known, there are still some times when I'm sipping some Pinot, watching the sunset when a nice Dunhill would hit the spot.  *sigh*

Smoking.  Haven't had a cigarette in 20 years now.  Tried cold turkey 3 times and failed... but then I got so sick with the flu that I didn't WANT to smoke for three days... and when I got better  the withdrawal was over so I decided to ride it out.  One of the best things I ever did for myself!

quit smoking now.. you won't be allowed during Basic anyway.  Might as well get a jump on it.  As long as you can meet the minimum standards on the first day, you'll BE in shape by the time you are done.

Im guessing your a man so my way probably wouldnt be of help to you, i tried every way i could to quite but nothing worked till the day i fell pregnant, i threw away my smokes and never looked back...i guess the mother instinct kicked in and i knew i had to protect that baby from the problems that can come from smoking when pregnant, i know i should have quit before hand but it wasnt a planned pregnancy, but hey it worked and here i am a year and a half later, smoke free, and never going back.

I had a gf that smoked at one time, I gave her the option of me or the weed???  Keeping in mind that it is illegal and if you get pulled over or police come over and find it.  Even though it is his you are going down with him and going to Jail.  Might be hard give him the option but will show alot of character on his part.

I'm kinda ticked off.  Apparently, I've reached my daily limit of questions on here.  See here's my problem... my breath really stinks.  I was thinking about going and brushing my teeth or at least swishing some Scope around, but I'm pretty lazy and the bathroom is like 40 feet away.  Plus, I'll probably have dinner within the hour and I don't want the toothpaste taste mixin' w/ my chicken and/or asparagus.  I was gonna ask for insight into my predicament but lo and behold Yahoo Answers provides no answer.  Jerks.  What's this question about?  Marijuana?  Well, I guess if I was smokin' weed right now I wouldn't be so worried about my bad breath.

I can smell heavy cigarette smoke when I walk pass my coworker's cubical and she is in a position where I have to walk by her desk. \n\nI wish they would put the smokers in a seperate section because after they go outside for a little smoke break and come back in I always smell it for hours and it makes me cough and sneeze. \n\nI hate it!

I haven't myself, but my parents went together. They both quit for a good while, but stress got them to smoking again. It seems to work initially, but it's up to you whether or not it lasts. They also said it was a lot of fun, and wasn't what they expected. They were a little apprehensive as well, but they recommend it to others. Good luck!

I'd LIKE for cigs to be illegal...  My husband and sister in law both have asthma, and sometimes have to walk RIGHT PAST smokers to get to the EMERGENCY ROOM.  Hello!?  And my father-in-law died of cancer caused by second-hand smoke in his childhood.  I'd LOVE tobbaco to be illegal.  Will it ever happen?  *hopeless laughter*
