Sometimes I lasted a few days, sometimes  a few weeks. But I always ended up smoking cigarettes again. I didn&#39;t try any &quot;Quit Smoking Program&quot;, but I did use different methods like going cold turkey, gradually decreasing the number of cigarettes, doing exercise and so on. But I just can&#39;t seem to stop myself from smoking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know about the side effects of smoking, that it&#39;s killing me and those around me, and I&#39;ve seen those horrible pictures of smoking side effects. But these didn&#39;t stop me either. I started smoking when I was 18 years old, I&#39;m now 23 and am smoking One (or more) pack of cigarettes a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I decided to quit smoking cold-turkey. I am very much hoping for a positive result but should something go wrong, I intend to record my experience and/or progress here so that it may help me or maybe others, somehow.</description><link>http://acidbreath.blogspot.com/2007/11/quit-smoking.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (acidgrin)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
