 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I'm on day 2. Desperate to quit... I can't believe how much I smoke now. I'm honestly scared for my health and I'm only 32. Any words of encouragement, ball busting, tough love, whatever would be appreciated. Thanks.
Rob

Its not going to be easy Bart but hang in there, find something to take the edge off go for a walk, go for a run, rig some eels pretty much anything to keep your mind occupied.
Wash, wax and detail your own vehicle, that's a big one because if you're a smoker as soon as that seat belt goes on you're reaching for a cig. You'll be less prone to fire one up in your vehicle if it does'nt smell like an ashtray and you think to yourself: Crap I worked on this 3-4 hours no sense in turning it into an ashtray in 7 minutes.
4 yrs zero nicotine July 28th 2015, when I quit they were $7.68 a pack.

That's great advice about cleaning my car. It's pretty much using reverse psychology...I like that.
Congrats and thanks, Vic

Bart,
Today is Day 20 for me. Was a smoker for 20+ years....quitting is easy, I've done it a thousand times. I would quit for a week (with no cheating) knowing in the back of my mind that I would go back to smoking....to only relapse and feel like an idiot for torturing myself for a week!! Then the depression would kick in, kicking myself in the arse for relapsing after doing so good for a weeks time.
I had a health scare and I'm 44....I will never smoke another butt again. The 2 weeks waiting for test results were brutal....I was literally planning my funeral and feeling selfish and stupid for putting my family through the "unknown news" as well. The results came back negative....all is good. But, I got the swift kick in the arse I needed I guess. Quit before you have to go through it...
I wouldn't have been surprised in the least if something WAS seriously wrong with me though....and that doesn't mean there still can't be something that happens down the road....damage is done.
I found that the nicotine gum at CVS helped...AND TIME. I also found it was more mental this time for me....different than any other time I tried to quit. As they say..."You have to WANT to quit."
Good Luck....it does get easier and easier. By the way, my truck is ash and smoke smell free....and to tell you the truth I pat myself on the back OFTEN....it's a good feeling.
