I meant 11 dollars a pack

>collect ash
>go recycle it
>get tobacco

I just switched to filtered cigars it's pretty rough in the morning but the ones I found are rather light. Pretty stupid I can buy a carton of them for 20 bucks when regular cigarettes cost 55 for the cheapest carton

Does this actually work ?

I successfully stopped with Champix (Pfizer) 8 years ago.
I was a smoker for 20 years. Tried 3 times to stop before, once with Zyban but only stopped during 6 months.
I am still stunned how Champix worked that well. No craving at all.

yes. Totally.

Be more concerned about your health faggop. I smoke and I feel like a retarded cunt for doing so.

Get a buddy you trust to take your money and keys and such, lock yourself in your room for a weekend with no ability to get cigarettes, quit cold turkey. Weaning yourself off things doesn't work at all.

I'm not worried about health I'm worried about money

come to australia, $40 for a 20 packet

Jesus, rifle bullets cost less per shot than that.

Wtf nobody could afford to smoke there that's insanity

they think raising taxes will reduce the amount of smokers, yet its doing the opposite, people are getting violent over it

im about to fire one up right now

LOL
ITS 30 DOLLARS MINIMUM HERE IN STRAYA M8

are you fucking seirous mate.

This world is fucked up anyway so i smoke to die sooner and it feels great too. Long life tobacco

>tfw live in Aus doggies cost 30 didge a pack

I quit almost three weeks ago. Took a lot of preparation and consideration but decided that I had bought my last pack. Since I wasn't gonna buy any more cigarettes, I made that pack last as long as I could.

One, maybe two a day. Sometimes none a day when I was sufficiently distracted with work (work in the oil field in Alberta). As the pack neared empty, each cigarette became a treat.

Then, when I got to the last one, I wanted it to be sort of a farewell to smoking so I went for a walk by myself in the woods outside of the camp I was staying at.

I smoked the cigarette slowly. enjoyed it, looked around at the forest, realizing that there is a lot more to enjoy in the world than cigarettes. Then after I took the last drag, I flicked the cigarette dramatically and walked away. I felt a sense of closure.

Anyway, later that day there was a forest fire and the camp had an emergency evacuation, as well as the city of Fort McMurray. I lost my wallet so I couldn't buy cigarettes if I wanted to.

Dumbfucks don't realise increase was implemented by previous govt. new govt didn't change a thing just claimed as their own

Champix. I'm a former two pack a day smoker. A week with those pills I just sort of didn't want to smoke anymore.

fucking disgusting how could you smoke 40 cigarettes in a 24 hour period? and i /like/ cigarettes

Simple! It just takes 1 bullet.

Anymore and you could overdose!

But fuck man the nightmares that shit gives you and they last for months

Yeah, the Nanny State keeps piling on new taxes every year because >muh cancer
Australian government thinks fines and taxes are the answer for everything.

Maybe if you're retarded and can't roll you're own.
$24 for a 25g pouch, papers and filters.
I get an entire week out of one pouch.

Just go cold turkey and man up for the initial 72 hours. Grow some balls, you faggot addict.

Cold Turkey is absolutely the highest probability of a successful (re: lifetime) quit compared to all other techniques.

My wife and I smoked for 10+ years. I would taper off and quit for a few months but I was surrounded by smokers. My wife (then gf) and everyone in our group of friends were smokers. Eventually I would cave and smoke again. This went on for years.

I finally convinced my wife to quit cold turkey with me. We used peer pressure to keep eachother from backsliding.

It's been over 4 years now that we have been tobacco free.

Moral of the story - convince your friends to quit and/or get nonsmoking friends.

$40 for 25g pouch where I am though still cheaper than $210 a week I was spending

Kill yourself.

I live in Brazil and I can sell you 20 Marlboro box for 6,2 australian dollars / box. International quality, the one sold in airports.

Add some $22 for the mail (16 days to reach you) and I can send 8 box for 71,6 australian dollars.

Are you interested?

Yea that's kinda the whole point of smoking dipshit

you dudes, australia and the southern usa are like lost brothers in the anglosphere; viewed as backwaters, shit on by our economic overlords. we're behind you in terms of cultural development, but we're both full of bogans/rednecks and coons. anyway, i feel a lot of emotions for you. i have two papers published in peer review and one is an australian journal. anyway, m8s, i wish your cigarettes were as cheap as ours.

Lol thanks for burnjng down Canada.

OP, don't be this guy.

Yes, follow the cold turkey part of his story.

But, no, don't be stupid enough to get a quitting buddy. This shit is just doomed to fail, a ticking bomb - since when one relapses, the other follow.

Quit by yourself and for yourself alone.

Aussie customs = v&, they go harder on tobacco than the fruit n veg

Customs stops that shit. Can only bring so much in duty free. Was a carton 12 years ago when I went overseas. Probably less now

fuck off blackstain

What 3rd world country do you live in where they're 11$ a pack, and also, what do you regularly smoke?

Ciggie tax pays for our Obamacare, kek.
Get this though they say they want to ban smokers from using the service they pay for.

I realized smoking does not even get you high or do absolutely anything except more than a ten second head high. I quit easy as fuck right after that.

Fucking kek

Champix fuckhead.

Sick of telling people about this shit here everyday.

Like mate... Theres a drug you can get today that will 100% just block your nicotine receptors and make you quit with no effort... You will just stop smoking and never crave them for years at the least. And at that point if you start again just go do your Champix again and BAM quit just like that.

How can people not know about this shit... Fuckheads.

Cold turkey is suffering for nothing. You will CRAVE for cig smoke for the rest of your life. In other words: you will remain an addict suffering abstinence.

This medicine works because it leaves you with no craving. You just forget about it. And with nearly no efforts.
I am still amazed of that miracle.

>tfw can't remember last nicotine head high

Just don't fucking smoke it's not that hard, I quit 3 months ago.
Everytime you wanna light a cig just do something else, drink a glass of water or chew some gum or whatever. If you want to stop, you can.

Yes, it was very easy.
I started using snus instead

hivemind

pretty much this
i only buy them when im pissed at the bar or something
I really need to buy some pot again, actually get high and marvel at the world again.
Weathers been great for it

sniff freon faggot

No you're a fuckhead you will crave them forever cold turkey no matter what years even decades later youll get cravings now and then...

Just go take Champix like a non retard downer and just quit with no issues and no cravings.

Pop some Oxycontin faggots and realize how pussy cigarettes really are

False. You've just been poisoned by some chemical shit so you won't feel anything but disgust anymore... The cravings go away after the first 3 weeks tops (with the proper will power and encouragement by constant research). When the addiction goes dormant, it's easier and easier to control yourself day after day.

lil over 3 months here
just stop
you know you dont want it
is your willpower weak or what?

faggot tier ideas

I put the 8 boxes side by side so that the package looks exctly like a book.
You customs review every single small parcels?

I quit by vaping pure weed to counter the cig rage effect

srsly op get hypnotized out of it... people think hypnotizing is a joke but my dad did it 6 years ago and hasnt had a smoke since and it took one hour only, its literally the easiest thing on the fucking world but people think hypnotizing is fake or someshit idk

This...

How Champix is not common knowledge is beyond me... I'm pretty any prescription ad advertising, but in Aus they really need to make an exception in its case.

I know they had those "if you're trying to quit ask your doctor ads" from pfizer but if theyd just said "hey, theres this drug you take that just makes you quit with no cravings again and the only common side effect is some bad dreams and nausea" would probably work a whole lot better and get these stupid fucks to get it through their fucktard skulls.

i used patches and gum to start, me and mommy quit at same time, so only used half of patches, quit gum pretty quick after.

jus don b bich

australia pawn of drug lobby and magicians

Stupid.
Which way of Champix or cold turkey has, by far, the highest chance of smoking again after any period of time?

Just quit using patches and gum.

30 a day smoker for 8 years, two weeks of patches, gum for the first week when the cravings got real bad, the rest is all willpower.

Will only cost like $20 to quit too.

Thats not how Champix works at all.. It just fills the nicotine receptors in your brain blocking the nicotines effects, so eventually the dopamine hit from nicotine stops and you stop caring about smoking or craving it... The cravings are dopamine crashing by the way - do some meth and find out about dopamine (thats another story).

IMO even if it was some harmful chemical (which it isn't)... Better than the rest of your life smoking a fucking pesticide.

>fuckhead logic.

what

Im just trying to help people.. I genuinely believe the majority of people smoking who want to quit are not aware of Champix or how easy it is to quit on it.

Welcome to finland. Here you pay about 7€ for 28 cigs.

It's easy if you really want to quit. Problem is, nobody really wants to. Money problems alone isn't gonna stop it. Hell, even respect org desease a won't stop a lot of smokers

OP suck some cock you dirty little cigarette bitch

No one likes a quitter.

Feel free to poison yourself then. Cold turkey is still the safest and most effective way. Look it up.

>Buy decent vape- $60
>Make 1 litre of eliquid- $30

Have enough nicotine to last you at least 6 months.
Vaping is the cheapest way of smoking,
Even if you lived off those little bottles of eliquid, you could vape the equivilent of 2 packs a day for like $1-2

hello my name is tom gordon and im a brand ambassador for pfizer. have you heard of champix? oh. well. sorry about that but you must understand its a numbers game. anyhow. is there a good bar around? is this a good city for escorts? my balls are fucking purple m8.

I picked up a couple of these Blu E-Cigs to get through the nic-fits. It's working. But I hate the vapor and these batieries fucking suck so I might need a 3rd. At $10 a pop here in PA its more expensive but one of these lasts 3-4 with heavy use. GL man, you can do it.

*respritory diseases...ducking auto correct

$1 a pack is too much? The fuck is this. I pay $10 a pack and I'm a student living on student loans

i quit 2 years ago... just stopped instantly... Its only in your head my friend, you need to WANT stop smoking...

Hey, fuckhead, It's CHANTIX. With a T, not a P. You make yourself sound like a bumbling idiot when you can't even get the name of the shit right. How can you not know this, fuckhead?

Champix sent me fucking mental.
I used to have awesome dreams though.

Don't know if trolling.

I pay $28 a pack of 20 in aus

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varenicline

Varenicline (trade name Chantix and Champix usually in the form of varenicline tartrate)

chill out mein negers.

Yeah nah fuck off merica troll.

you cunt

they are fucking you so bad

pack of smokes probably costs $1 to make with best equipment and quality control

Yet another reason never to go to that Gods forsaken island.

This.

It sounds like stupid advice but it is the best advice you can ever get. When you feel like smoking - don't. It is THAT simple.

The first 24 hours is the hardest, then 48 hours, then 72. After that, it gets easier.

The first day I thought about it constantly. 3 days later, I would get maybe 3-4 cravings a day.

I haven't smoked in 9 months and I honestly rarely think about it. Sometimes when I am at the pub and everyone lights up, I'll think "that would be nice" but I don't NEED one - so I don't. Every time I had a craving - I just wouldn't smoke.

Cravings last tops 5 minutes - then you can get on with your life.

Is it easy? No. But this is what you deserve being a twat who decided to start smoking in the first place.

When you are trying to quit, don't cave to your stupid justifications. There is not ONE good reason to have a cigarette.

Have some will power you weak fucks and say that last cigarette was just that, my last cigarette and never look back.

>not one good reaosn to have a smoke

m8 you been outside a bar and needed an excuse to approach someone and then get a few minutes alone. it really works wonders

Ok there is only one good reason

i smoke about 5-8 a week and i really dont crave any more. if i smoke 3 in a row i get fuckin sick and either have to lay down or throw up. im guessing the blokes who smoke 2 packs a day just have different genes or something because i could never, ever do that.
