Well, I recently quit smoking cigarettes. I have been smoking for the last five years and I have probably quit four times in between, for a short period of time. This time is for real, though (I hope). My grandma died three months ago because she smoked. She only smoked for ten years when she was younger, but it caught up to her fourty years later. Damn cigarettes and their long-term effects. I finally decided it was not worth it. Cigarettes do nothing but give you cancer.

Well, I was wondering. When you quit smoking cigarettes, is there ever a point when you do not want a cigarette? This is the fourth day I have not smoked and I heard it only takes three days to get the nicotine out of your body. Yet...I still crave it. This sucks. I was drinking with some friends last night and for those of you who smoke and drink...you know how badly you want a cigarette while you are drinking. I am so proud of myself though, I did not smoke.

I must have wasted atleast $65 a week on cigarettes. That is ridiculous. The hardest part of trying to quit is when my friends are going to go outside to smoke a cigarette...and I have to watch. Also, after I eat, oh man, I feel like dieing if I do not smoke. Yet, I have been cigarette-free for four straight days.

So, the question I am trying to ask is: Does the craveing for cigarettes ever go away? What I mean is...is there ever a point where I will not want to smoke a cigarette anymore?
