As you all well know, I used to be a smoker and gave it up a few months ago…These past couple of weeks I have been having this extreme ‘talab’ to light one fag…Seriously, right now as I am typing this, I am craving a for a cigarette in my hand…That’s how I used to sit on GupShup…A cigarette dangling from my lips, and in between ‘kushes’ I would be typing…Inhaling and savouring the smoke as it entered my lungs and gave me smooth relaxation…
I know I won’t start again coz I gave it up for religious reasons, but damn…It’s maddening…
Pray for me as I pray for all Muslims to be free of this trash habit, Ameen…
I guess the reason for my typing this is that if you are even thinking of coming close to this nasty habit, stay well clear…You don’t know what physical and mental torture I went through to be free of this disease…Only Allah :swt: gave me the strength to quit…
Hang in there,
You’ve got 3 years to go to rid of it out of your system. Its just as bad as quitting cocaine. I use to be a smoker too, quit cold turkey and started eating a lot or chewing gum.
I have never smoked a ciggi in my life and don't intend to either. But every now and then I get an urge to smoke a cigar. They smell so woody and sandali. Are cigars addictive?.

Coco: 3 YEARS!? Is that the time it takes to overcome the habit or for your body and specially lungs to come to their normal condition...?

Thats the time to overcome the addiction and any craving and for your body to recover.
I know two guys who quit smoking in a single day. One day they both just decided to quit and never went back to it! All it takes is will and resolution.
Lajawab, hang in there buddy, you have achieved what only a few percent smokers achieve; freedom from the smoke. it sure takes a lot of courage and control but in some time you'll realize youre at a safe distance. just keep away man, you'll love yourself for it. Good luck!

My mom tells me about my grandfather, he used to be in the army and used to smoke cigarettes, pipes but one day my khaala asked him to quit and pulled his cigarette out of his mouth; he threw it away that very second, never ever to touch it again! Amazing! some will power he mustve had. and he was young back then, maybe late thirties early forties.

Femme, i quit it in a similar way, it was one my new years resolutions to quit but i had not, my pals gave me hell that i will never give it up, I lowered how much i was smoking but had not quit.
one eve they were bugging me as we were smokig and i told them that this was going to be my last cigarette, they laughed, i saod okay forget that, this will be my last puff, they laughed, and i said..u know what..I am throwing this cigarette right now, and I am done with smoking. they laughed... i threw the cigarette..they laughed.
months and years later.. I laughed..
2 of the guy laughing saw that it was possible and they quit in a few years also.
Kaleem: Yep…Camel was my brand too…It was Kamel Red Lights…The smoke from my brand was dry, non-smelly, rich and thick…As for the religious part, Here…Click here…
i watched this program on discovery where one of the ppl has to quit smoking to become healthy etc and he goes to this room which is 40 C and he does these stretches... the heat was suposed to 'sweat' the toxins out.
