I was attending a smoking cessation clinic recently and they said it’s a good idea to reward yourself and set goals why not treat yourself after a week and so on?
regards well done and good luck

Did your classes work? Are you not smoking? We need these testimonials around here to inspire others to quit! You can do it.
What up Wu Chen or Bu Chen?
Don’t Bu me..
Wu would mean a negation, as far as i know, so Wu-chen would be a negation of me, = chen of no-chen;)
Ni shi bu Chen.
you are not chen!
I’m negating myself from the POV of Taoism/buddhism..;)..
I really should’nt bother myself.
Just joking buddy
How about this your Tai Chen (grand chen).
So now I’m great? I’m flattered..:o;)
btw, before we skip the OT, then I’ll post this, as I know of you sangha-stuff.(should I say that here..?)
it might be of interest for you.
see u around.
Thanks for the link! The support group for quitting smoking idea doesn’t seem to be working yet. When someone wants it, This thread will be here!

I had my last ciggarette on May 18th, the doctor prescribed zyban which I’m still taking one a day, the group was good we swapped phone numbers and were able to ring up in times of stress.
The support group lasted for six weeks then we were left on our own we are planning to meet up soon to see haw everyone got on.
Out of 10 people starting, by the end of 6 weeks 6 were still not smoking
Regards

You can go off topic as much as you want Buddy;) 
whew, I feel relieved..
as long as I don’t offend the poor people who’re trying to quit the f@gs, it should be fine.
No offence taken, you know once you start f@gs its hard to quit cause you love f@gs so much. 6th day w/out cigarette!
"personally don’t want to take anything that changes brain chemistry. "
Whay.Then you better stop smoking soon or you´ll be in for a (possible) life-long ride in neural terms.

I know smoking is not good for the nervous system, but antidepressents change brain chemistry, and I dont think it changes for the better.
Its 7 days, hoorah!!!

I´m not sure what you mean.
Sure antidepressants will alter you…who talked about antidepressants? Better or not,that can hardly be said,for their favour I could say that in some cases they have actually managed to stimulate growth of the matter (brain)
The whole smoking thing is about neurochemistry,and should there be permanent,physical changes,they would far outweigh those…ugh…psychiatric drugs you mentioned,I´d think.I´m willing to bet that smoking of yours has altered the neurochemical concentrationS of yours.Talking about such,never forget about memory problems,cognitive decline and greatly increased stroke risk.
Gongratulations,now keep it up.

I agree. Just the fact that the brain has some of its oxygen supply cut off is bad. I still wouldn’t use something like welbutrin, Zyban, and some of the other Antidepressents that they use for smoking, But thats just me.
