Common Sense.

Wouldn't it be common sense to size up a task from all angles to determine what the result of each approach might be and therefore make the most sense before you start?

When you quit smoking you must constantly be looking ahead for situations that might put your goal of quitting at risk.

Does it make sense to drink alcohol after you've quit smoking? If you've often had too much? that's a DUH!

not common sense.

Have you ever tried to unlearn something by continuing to do it? How about using an e-cig to mimic the actions of smoking instead of unlearning them? Did you think this through or was it the path of least resistance? It's exactly like smoking but with a battery instead of a lighter

again n c s

this site is here to give you the common sense regarding quitting smoking that you might not already have and we are here to pass on what we've learned from those quit before us and the current  information that is available.

use it all. that's what common sense is for

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
