Question For The People Who've Quit Cigs, Dip, Etc.

[Capt. Morgan]

Do you ever just feel a craving for nicotine and have no interest in smoking hookah. Quit smoking cigs but every once in a while I'll want one but its really rare. I quit dipping over 3 moths ago but I still routinely crave a dip Don't know if its stress or what but I'm just fiending for one. Has this happened to anybody else?

[srawas89]

Yea its happened to me before. Even though I have not smoked that many cigarettes sometimes its what I want instead of a hookah. But most of the time it is def. because of stress and the fact that I dont have the time to sit down and smoke for even half an hour which comes up when I have a lot of exams and papers at the same time.

No... not anymore. In fact, the mere thought of cigs is repulsive to me now. Even when I'm drunk I refuse to smoke anything other than a hookah.

As for the hookah, I do get cravings but can go on for weeks without a session and not feel like I'm deprived of anything. All depends how busy with other things I am at the moment. One thing's for sure - when I am finally through with all the final exam/paper crap, I'll have me a nice evening of beer+hookah+movie.

I smoke pipes, cigars, and cigs as well... and I get distinct cravings for each every now and then depending on my mood. Generally if I'm in a really good mood I'll have a cigar, if I'm feeling depressed I might smoke my pipe a bit, and if I'm very stressed or in a rush I might have a cigarette. The other day I smoked a pack and a half worth (I roll my own) of cigs doing a bunch of last minute writing for my english comp class.

Totally different sensation from hookah though for me. Smoking hookah is something I do with friends, or just to relax and enjoy myself while watching a film or something... and I smoke hookah more than anything else by far.

For me I smoke way too much, about half a pack of cigs and an hour or so of hookah every day. I will dip on occasion but rarely. I smoke cigs when I'm generally stressed or away from my hookah. I did quit for a short period of time and I became overwhelmingly stressed and anxious that i picked up cigs again. All I have to say is that you have a lot more will power than I do and from what I've heard it only gets easier. Keep it up.

Yeah, I quit smoking for about a month a while back because my girlfriend at the time hated smoking. I did get cravings just about every day and you just gotta get over em. I mean sometimes I would just be sitting there before a test and just wanting one so much, but you gotta just say no. Month later we broke up and I started smoking again. Honestly its not too bad though because I don't smoke more than 4 cigs a day unless its finals time (like now for example).

all the time i still smoke cigs but only 2 packs a month witch is better i was 30 packs a month or 1 pack a day for short.

dont be affraid to have a couple but dont get hooked again

[gaia.plateau]

Never... I used to smoke at least a pack a day, sometimes as much as 3, and I quit cold turkey in high school along with other things. I've never once had a craving for nicotine...

That said, I still can't hold a lit cigarette in my hand without going crazy.

It's probably just stress. Try to find solace in hookah.

I used to dip about a 1/2 can to a can a day when I was working in a warehouse pulling parts. Then I just stopped one day. I get cravings every once in a while an I'll buy some Redman or something an usually end up throwing away more than I chewed.

[ToncSTAR]

yeah. i get like that sometimes. i quit smoking like, 4 months ago? but i had one maybe like...3 weeks ago, when i went to run some errands with an old friend of mine. i bought a pack, smoked one, and gave the rest to my friend lol.
