i don't know about over there, but here in the us they sell marlboro seventy two's. they are shorter cigarettes. downright tiny!

i hate 72's. You always seem to smoke more, as you never feel like you have had a full cigarette.

Also, try cutting a little off the tip at a time...if you end up having one so you can trick your mind into believing you have had a whole cig...congrats handsome! You are doing gr8!

why, thank you Gorgeous!

I don't think the shorter ones are in anyway stronger, as i noted earlier, you just tend to smoke more of the shorter ones.

me, stronger! i cry at dead spiders..........well, no i don't but im not strong when it comes to cutting the cigs down/out. i have however, suprised myself with how well i have done.

At one point last night, i had gone many hours without and just got so hot and felt like i was sweating buckets and all i could think of was running out and having a cig. i just had to, had to.

but im ok with that, i still stuck to what i set myself for the day and even had 3 left over.

Okay, how long did you smoke? (symptoms normal for someone who has smoked for a while)

moonfire · « **Reply #29 on:** 05/05/2007 07:55:03 »

You are strong! You took the first step, then the next and you keep walking the path...Who doesn't cry at dead spiders? LOL Okay, maybe I don't either.... :-)

I thought it was a while...same symptoms of a young lady I spoke with the day before after her 24 years of smoking. I am an ex-smoker too.

paul i also heard today that when you have a cigarette craving it sometimes helps to brush your teeth instead

how strange, i started doing that yesterday! I then just pop the cigarette in my mouth and pretend to smoke.

kdlynn · « **Reply #38 on:** 06/05/2007 05:54:37 »

hmmm.. that is odd. let me know how it works

Karen W. · « **Reply #39 on:** 06/05/2007 05:56:24 »

Hey my mom did that too. she said it helped. anytime she had a craving for one, she would brush her teeth or chew gum or mint leaves. She liked chewing fresh mint leaves when she wanted a cigarette as it was healthy and good!..
