Today, I gave up smoking. A few hours later, I caught myself daydreaming about brutally killing a guy that gave me a mean look at the bus. Maybe I should go back to smoking. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to quit smoking. During my lunch break, I tried to ash the KitKat bar that was in my hand after I took a bite. FML
Today, I'm going cold turkey with my drinking and smoking habits. I'm so irritable, I seriously considered running down an old lady who was taking her damn sweet time crossing the road, then shooting the guy in the car behind me for honking at me like I was holding everyone up. FML
Today, a week after I quit smoking, I lit up again. Was it stress? Cravings? No. I haven't had a crap since I quit, and can't take this gut ache anymore. FML
Today, I realised why I’m so irritable these days. My former flatmate smoked so many cigarettes that, now he’s moved out and taken the smoke with him, I’m going through nicotine withdrawal. I realised this after I saw cigarettes in a shop and couldn’t stop staring at them. FML
Today, I found I had rolled, and was smoking a cigarette without realising it after proudly entering my third day of being a non-smoker. FML
Today, I gave a man a cigarette. He spent the rest of the day so far following me around, telling me all about his medical history, and chasing after me when I got too far away. I couldn't get rid of him for hours. FML
Today, I decided to quit smoking and put on a nicotine patch. I decided to have one last cigarette and ended up sick at the doctors with nicotine poisoning. FML
Today, as I was smoking a cigarette I realized that it's time to quit. This realization came to me after a particularly violent coughing bout forced not tar out of my lungs, but rather poo out of my bum. FML
Today, after secretly smoking for more than two years, I decided to quit. I came home from work to see my wife holding a pack and asking me what was it doing behind the toilet seat. FML
Today, I finally found a reason to quit smoking. I threw my cigarette butt out the window and it blew back in, went down the back of my pants, and burnt my butt in 3 different places. FML

Congratulations on trying to quit smoking. Although, there's easier alternatives than just stopping such as nicotine and maybe quitting slowly but surely will make you calmer.

DON'T start up again. My grandma smokes, and she has a bad breathing problem because of it, she has to be on oxygen all the time, and she almost died because of her smoking. I don't want the same thing to happen to you when you're older. Try to pick up in a new hobby that could take away stress, like writing or something like that. Good luck!

YDI. You're the one who started smoking anyways. It would've never happened if you didn't start smoking.

Whoa dude. That's harsh, you don't know what OP went through to start smoking. A lot of people have rough lives.

Until you get your own murder kit, remember this feeling will pass.

To be honest, OP. It sounds more like you had this kind of built up. Smoking does relax people, after all. So it's likely it never happened before due to that. Good luck quitting, mate. You can do it!

After everyone leaves next week I'm making my billionth attempt at quitting myself. The urge to kill people doesn't bother me so much. I figure smoking is bad for my health, quitting is bad for the health of those around me. If they survive the first week, we will all be better off. I get sick from the nicotine replacements so those are out. I'll let my acupuncturist hit calming points and hope meditation can get me through. I also have a tea to cleanse my system. It worked short term in the past. It at least helps with the physical withdrawal symptoms. Stay strong op. and gl.
