The stopping smoking support thread

[bresker]

I quit two years ago. Easy as. Just stopped on 6th February 2007 and haven't had one since.

But I'm stronger than you, both mentally and physically. You'll start again soon enough. Try gum or patches.

I've never really been tempted to smoke again, but there's a new anti-smoking advert out here at the moment. A young woman lights up a cigarette, the narrator then tells of a selection of the chemicals that are in the cigarette, as he does the cigarette becomes a test tube.

The thing is, the test tube bubbles & smokes and the young lady breathes it in......and it looks exactly like she's smoking an ice pipe. Pretty insensitive I reckon, as someone who has had a mild battle with the pipe it makes my silly brain itch for a bit of brain-rotting meth. But luckily, it is fairly rare to see ice in this part of the world, everyone doses themselves up on cheap pills and rubbish coke.

For a bloke off meth, you don't half go off on some tangents.

I used to smoke a pack a day and haven't had one since December 16. I am finding it much easier than I thought.

Someone remind me why people smoke?

Someone remind me why people smoke?

Because it makes them look so "rad".

Nothing cooler than having a death stick hanging out of your mouth, really.

To impress girls

They love it when I tell them a amusing anecdote, draw back a lungful of smoke and no-sell the urge to cough. They're fluttering their eyelashes and playing with their hair in no time

Or maybe they just like my leather pants.

Same reason people drink coffee or inject heroin. The buzz

All smoking should be banned.

Chicks dig the emphysema. It's cool to slowly kill yourself. Many smokers are scum, the ones that smoke in populated areas.

FWIW I agree with Funky ^

You don't really smoke, do you, Val?

 

[Lensen]

How hard is it to not put one in your mouth and smoke it.

I mean, really.

 

[CrazyQ]

I probably smoke about 7-8 a day, a pack on a Saturday night.

Dont want to quit just yet.

Put that shit away man, seriously.

You will regret it later in life.

Yeah I know. I want to stop soon, but then I dont. It's a weird feeling. It will hit me when something tragic happens. I've been smoking for a year now and can start to feel the effects.

 

[krisholio14]

I've quit quitting.

I have just had to accept I love it too much and that it will eventually kill me somehow.

 

[blues4flag]

Never smoke and never intend to smoke a single cigarette.

The 2nd cigarette's a lot more tempting than the first, I'm guessing.

 

[adelaide_40]

If I wanted to quit I could quite easily I can smoke a pack a day for 3 months and then stop for 6 months I just CBF quitting.

 

[blues4flag]

You can't be stuffed quitting?

Wouldn't quitting be less of a hassle for someone who can stop as easily as yourself?

 

[Valentino Dmitri]

You don't really smoke, do you, Val?

Occasionally...

Have only payed money for cigarettes 2 times. At any rate, I couldn't afford to smoke regularly even if I wanted to. I only do it if I've been drinking and one has been offered.

Sorry

You could your lips around my death stick for free.

I'd pay you, in fact.

Just so you know, I have an addictive personality, and could easily develop a pack a day habit.

Well that's good, real good, because I have a tobacco factory down here and I am never short of stock.

I also make cheese. You can snack on that also.

Ah! A man of many talents.

Not unlike my last tobacconist. He too provided me with a cheese of his own making; his service and preparation were unique to his profession. He liked to store his cheese in a warm crevasse and have me suck it out, in its liquid state, via a straw. It was an uncomfortable but rewarding experience.
