every time i've quit smoking coldturkey i've started again, usually within weeks. doesn't exactly say what you figured does it? usually any time i've had an "i'm gonna quit coldturkey!" revelation i've started smoking again within days. which is exactly what most do.
if you try to quit smoking coldturkey odds are heavily weighed in that you're gonna fail. i would bet against anyone who tries to quit cold turkey, any day. because by day 2 or 3 they are gonna be hanging by a thin string, burning in flames...
how you quit has nothing to do with how you start smoking again a few months down the road. which in my experience, just for conversation sakes, tends to be related to drinking. so the fact that i quit cold turkey and started smoking again 3-4 or 6 months down the line, has no weight int he matter.
it takes determination no matter how you go about it. so why make in ten times harder than it needs to be and turn yourself into a miserable raging fuck in the process?
if you have the will power to quit cold turkey, you have the willpower to quit with an aid, and spare yourself the majority of your withdrawal side effects. i've quit 2 or 3 times for 4 month + stints having quit cold turkey, and every time i went through a solid week where friends and family didn't even want to talk to me because i turn into an angry raging fuck (which i usually reserve for gfy), i get sickly, feel like shit, and am constantly pressed by the urge to feed the nicotine hunger.
The inhaler made the transition damn near unnoticeable. It had even been commented on by friends "you were a lot less of a whiny bitch when you quit this time" and ya, i was...
if you really got something to prove, try quitting colturkey, if you actually want to quit, get with an aid program and stick with it...
