I heard e-cigs work miracles as well, give those a try.

Can't afford green and we put cigarettes in joints here so I'd probs just end up smoking those cigs.

i suggest not carrying currencies less than a tenner in cash when you go out at night. the only time i can justify spending money on cigs is when i'm planning on getting tanked on a bar crawl and i've got change to blow.
and if you're actually a habitual smoker and not just a drunk one...avoid convenience stores like the plague.

I have no money so not carrying anything should be a help. I think I could quit better if I was drunk constantly because I'm never interested in smoking when I'm drunk

Tips wise, think of something else you enjoy doing and do it as often as possible. I love coffee, so I'm drinking gallons of the stuff. Also, try and coax one of your friends into quitting with you if you have smoker chums. My housemate has joined me in the big quit, and we're kind of supporting each other - it's a massive help.
Above all else, just remember how ****ty cigarettes actually are. They make you smell, age your skin, stain your teeth, blacken you lungs and clog your arteries. All of that translates into quite a big incentive.
Good luck.

Thanks, I'm just trying to stay away from all things that I do when I smoke, like driving and such. I'll survive the day yet I think

Really, whereabouts could I buy those?

MAKE SURE TO GET TEA SHISHA, not tobacco shisha. It also takes a while to get the coals lit and get the hookah started and all of that - so the effort means you'd probably just smoke one bowl of shisha a day or so, and that would really, really help you quit.
He hasn't smoked cigarettes in almost a year now.

I don't even know what that is! I doubt I'd be able to afford one anyways

Thanks everyone. You all gave me ideas to keep me busy
