Hi all thanks to all suggestions in my previous post. Somehow i made it to 3rd day. I know that this is the most important challenge for me because I party during weekends with liquor. How to control the urge to smoke cigarette when you get drunk. Generally I drink crazy on weekends and smoke couple of packs easily during my drinking session. I am planning to have couple of cigarette packs ready by my side in case I cant control the urge to smoke when I am drunk. Any tips to avoid smoking while drinking?

If you really don't want to smoke, bring along an extra mod and e-juice with a couple different flavors for variety. Keep it interesting. If you bring cigarettes with you, of course you'll smoke them. And maybe don't party on the weekend for a couple of weeks. Break the association.
When I quit, I put all my cigarettes away so they were hard for me to get at, and then I vaped like crazy to control my cravings. After a while, I threw those stale old cigarettes away. And that was the end of it. I never smoked another one. It's been four years now, and I know I'll never smoke another cigarette in my life. You can do it, too, if you really want to.

Unlikely. Self-indulgence is the priority here. I interpreted the message as "thanks for the help guys but I'm going to start smoking again."
Which is fine really. Better a weekend smoker than a full time smoker. And it's only the first week.
I’d say the best tip to avoid smoking while consuming alcohol is to not have cigarettes easily available.
For myself, my cigarette consumption doubled when I got into the sauce. Now I have specific e-juice that I use when drinking which plays into @GOMuniEsq advice above. This helps alleviate the urge, but at least with me, it does not remove it. The rest is good ol’ will power.
Strong ejuice for me is not high nicotine (not sure if that is what was meant above), but strong flavoured. One e-juice I use is Royal Oak from Blackwood. It is a nice strong Cuban tobacco (best I have sampled so far) with hints of black cherries and whisky. When I am not drinking, I find it to be a tad too strong for a all day vape. But once the streams of whisky are flowin’, I can’t get enough of this stuff. I recommend it but that’s not to say it will help with your urges. Your challenge is trying to find something that will.
Blackwood is a Canadian e-juice, availability may be limited outside the Great White North.

When I’ll be at a party and there will be drinking, there will also be non-smokers to hang around while the smokers go smoke. I don’t do bars, all my parties are at someone’s house, and as we wander in and out, I’ve made a point to wander off by myself or with other vapers. My family/friends know I quit and that I want to stay quit. It’s much easier not to smoke when you feel like others are holding you accountable. So tell your friends you’re really trying to stay smoke-free. Most will be very supportive.
Will try this will buy only one pack and keep it beside me. Hopefully I wont open it
Really?
You and I both know that if you have a pack of cigs in your pocket while drunk you will smoke, especially so soon after trying to abstain. Alcohol lowers one's inhibitions and self control. YOU KNOW THIS.I really question how serious you are about quitting
I'd follow the advice of hanging with the non-smokers and vapers if there are any. Have a tank loaded with stronger nicotine just for while out drinking. Even doing that the temptation will be great.

I'm going to make a suggestion based on what you just did, and suggest that if you fall off the wagon this weekend, you do it LONG and HARD. I would suggest at LEAST 4 packs of cigarettes, because you will be smoking all night, you will be smoking through the hangovers, and then come MONDAY.
Well, just assess how you FEEL. Pay attention to that GOOD and LONG and HARD.
I fell off the wagon catastrophically a few times during social events after stringing some days together. They were fairly instructive relapses.
You are going to smoke. Smoke enough that you realize how VERY much it sucks and this may be motivation to oh, take many of the suggestions above.
Have fun!
And, BTW my relapses with smoking did not make me afraid to die. I had one rather PERSISTENT one right after my first anniversary here, where my fear wasn't I would die but that I WOULDN'T. Because I could not seem to stop.. After listening to some very wonderful members here who helped me out, I was able to. And this was after a YEAR of vaping.
So.... Be very sure that you really want to quit. Once you are, come back for more suggestions. And, every quit is different. EVERY last one.

I'd do the same thing. I'm going to try to remain faithful to my wife, but I'm going to take a half dozen ......, and get naked in bed with a few women, just in case.

Have to agree – having cigarettes in your possession will lead to temptation. Guaranteed they will be smoked.
As for alcohol lowers inhibitions and self control…that is untrue. I was in complete control when I jumped up on the bar and sang Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance .... naked….and I wasn’t even smoking a cigarette!
I would avoid the drinking session if I were you. Don't want to sound preachy but just like smoking, drinking have its consequences as well. If you drink too much you will slowly damage your liver and we all know how important liver and kidneys are for the body.
Try to avoid such company where you see smokers everywhere near you. Tell your friends you are quitting so they respect that and leave you in peace. They can go outside to smoke and then come back inside.
Also the idea of keeping a pack of cigs near means you DEFINITELY gonna smoke it. Just put some tobacco flavour juice wity high nicotine strength and hit it when you feel the urge to smoke and again its not my business but heavy drinking is not good for your health.

Look the OP has bought the cigarettes, do not expect a reply until Monday night, possibly never.
Also, as a former young adult with the drinking thing, uh don't bother.

Anna you made me smile. I guess you are right. But I really wish he drops the idea of keeping cigarettes with him. I hope he comes back and read our comments. Heavy drinking with smoking is like having two poisons simultaneously. Buying a pack for "in case" is like playing hide and seek with own self.
Best advice I can offer is AVOID taking any packs of smokes with you.
May be best for transitioning to vaping full time.
You can control the urge and everyone here is trying to help you.
Good luck!
Seriously? Here's a Hot Tip about Quitting Smoking.
Your Need to Quit has to be Greater than your Desire to Smoke.
Go armed with e-liquid not cigarettes. The whole what should i do if i get the urge to smoke while you are going armed with cigarettes just doesn't wash with me! don't take the cigarettes with you or if that's not possible because you could be a bit of a handful if you really need a smoke when drinking skip the going out and getting ...... until you are more settled with vaping. If you find that not an option i'm sorry but you either are not that serious about quitting or a piss head! Try AA
