You know all the reasons you should, dude.   It just takes will power and desire to quit.  If you actually have the desire to quit, you are halfway there.  Just stop doing it.   I know it's hard, I've quit a few times... and each time I lacked the will power to stay quit.   And quite honestly, I don't even have the desire to stop right now.     

It can only help to stop.   It's in your hands dude!   You can do it. :)

The trick is to not keep stressing to yourself about 'quitting' and thinking of it as this long drawn out period of time.

Basically, don't even pick a day to stop because that never works. If you're ready to do it, the next time you put out a cig, just think to yourself that you're going to see how long you can go without smoking another. Cravings come along but disappear for a while after just a couple of minutes so if you take it one day at a time instead of looking at the big picture it makes it much easier. Concentrate on getting through each craving one at a time. Some people I know have said the nicotine patches helped then tremendously and others said just chewing gum when they had a craving helped a lot ( And that's regular gum not even nicotine gum).

It might take a few tries but you have to test yourself out and make sure that whatever accomplishments you make with quitting are reinforced within yourself. The body usually rids itself of nicotine after a few weeks so most of the need you'll feel to smoke after that will just habitual.

If you really want to stop, you'll be able to make it even though it's rough. Like I said, just think of it as one small step at a time and focus on all the positives you get out of it...breathing easier, not waking up and coughing up half a lung, and smelling good for the whole day - not just when you get out of the shower.

I'm right there with ya though. I need to stop myself. Good Luck!

ok, i have come to the realization that i HAVE TO STOP SMOKING!!!!!  im asking everyone to post why i should do so!!!!!!  i'm quite sick of it, and need to stop!!
any time I have ever wanted to quit anything I just did it.  I just KNEW that I wanted to quit, so I did.  If you dont really want to quit, dont even try because there is not point.  Make sure that for whatever reason you really, really want it.  Then that will make it easier.  And have a little bit of pride.  Just quit, none of this "just one more" bull shit.  Then be too proud to be weak and give in.  Also keep occupied.  Boredom from what I have seen is the #1 reason people use tobacco.  Start excercizing, taking classes, reading, some project at home, learning to shoot a sniper rifle ;) anything, just stay busy.

"Passenger"

Here I lay
Still and breathless
Just like always
Still I want some more
Mirrors sideways
Who cares what's behind
Just like always
Still your passenger
Chrome buttons, buckles and leather surfaces
These and other lucky witnesses
Now to calm me
This time won't you please
Drive faster
Roll the windows down
This cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees anything
I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger
Drop these down and
Put them on me
Nice cool seats
There to cushion your knees
Now to calm me
Take me around again
Just don't pull over
This time would you please drive faster
Roll the windows down
This cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees what tonight
Roll these misty windows down
To catch my breath
And then go and go and go just drive me
Home and back again
Here I lay just like always
Don't let me go
Take me to the edge
