Smoking as a habit appeared on my fourth year at university. I then went to the hospital for six weeks. Smartphones and mobile Internet did not yet exist, and it was very boring, so went to the balcony to smoke. Even I did not notice that was involved.

I smoked for 9 years. Once more when it is less. In the first work in the design bureau of the whole social life was in the smoking room, and I destroyed on 2 packs in day, and the next guide in every way "ached" smokers by banning smoke in almost all territories enterprise.

Year, it seems, in 2007 to Russia reached fame book by Allen Carr My friends and massively quit smoking, and I do not - did not want to. The desire to come a few years later, in 2009: listen to the same audio format Carr and threw in one day.

Since then, I do not smoke for 10 years. During this time it was 2-3 cigarettes, but they will not bring any positive emotions. Now I can say that I do not like the smell of tobacco smoke, and the Weipa electronic cigarettes, and I absolutely can not stand hookahs and Callao. Overall, I would not mind a complete ban of tobacco, but it is unlikely to happen in my lifetime.

By the way, most of my friends who quit smoking by Carr, after a while came back to cigarettes. I think it still is important is not the method, but the desire.

Once I accidentally gave up smoking. My experience of the smoker at the time consisted of about eight years, and before that to get rid of the habit I did not try. At some point I realized that smoking is stupid inconvenient: the girl could not stand the smell of tobaccoI had always somewhere to go, use deodorants, mouthwashes and chewing gum, which I do not like. I bought a special pill and thought, come what may.

Accidentally it worked. Start smoking again after a course of tablets seem silly, because I so easily gave up the habit, get rid of that many years. And then, 10 months later, and with a girl that is not grown together, and cigarettes turned up under the arm. In general, I am a smoker again. But I throw again in the summer. Cigarettes in the heat - not cool.

As usual riff-raff of the province, I started smoking since high school. When he entered the university, I realized that this must have something to do. Because of cigarettes I smelled garbage, and I'm coughing up lung after overcoming three floors - who likes this?

First, I try to chew nicotine gum, then read Carr's book - it did not help. Then I came across the Public in "VKontakte" propagandizing e-cigarettesAnd I decided to try it.

Finally gave up, certainly not immediately. The first six months prevented regular cigarettes to electronic, but then became involved and now the smell of tobacco can not stand. This, of course, the replacement of one nipple to the other, but the pair I like much more straw from the stalls. When a particularly nervous, I start smoking again, but then regret - all that crap, because of which I decided to throw in general, at the time of return.

I fully threw twice - after not smoking a year or more. I wanted to quit but could not. And then it happened some kind of get-together with a stormy sea of ​​alcohol, after which it was so bad that a cigarette in his mouth did not climb. In my opinion, this is the perfect time to start output nicotine from the body.

But even so, it was hard to throw. Become prohibitively nervous, his head constantly like something compresses. Sometimes let go, but soon this feeling comes back. The main thing to sustain the first few days - then it becomes much easier.

But I still started smoking again. First he held back some pride for themselves a strong spirit. But in the end I watched with relish tightened friends, and I thought, "Well, one can, nothing bad will happen." How is it going on, you will surely know.

My experience of smokers - about ten years. And my story farewell to cigarettes very boring: I have banned smoking on medical grounds. Here like it or not, but the bad habit will have to forget. Process withdrawal was simple: after all a total ban of the doctor - it's probably the strongest motivationWhich only can be.

Does smoking again? I must admit, sometimes there is such a desire. Especially when you look at old movies, where characters "tasty" are tightened and beautifully smoked one cigarette after another. Such even then there were times - even smoke in the workplace, at least in the cabin of the aircraft.

But then I remember that smoking looks attractive only in the movies. But in real life it is primarily the scent, which settles on the clothes, hair and did not erode the room. Not to mention the health hazards. Sometimes I think: how much smoked once it was all I was wearing? It is strange that I so often say, though to me it smells good.
