quitting smoking

[Francis Begbie]

I can go weeks without smoking sober, but if I'm even a little drunk, I crave one. I know a kid that gets money from his grandad to quit smoking. He spends said money on cocaine and pills.

quit quit quit! as awesome as smoking is it's not worth any of the financial or health expenses. i smoked 10-15 a day for 8 years and quit over a year ago. i cut down over two months to 2-3 per day. then it was just time to motherfuckin' quit and be done with it.

looking back on it now, i'm disgusted that i did that to my body for so long (even though i still think cigarette smoke smells delicious). aren't we all pretty vain on this forum? doesn't the threat of premature aging scare the fuck out of you? sure as hell did me.

[sedx.]

Smoking is pretty much the most fun thing ever.

aahaha. i love it.

premature aging, cancer, emphysema... bring it on.

smoke up, johnny!

I have attempted a few times. Over the last few months i went from my usual pack a day up to 3 during beach week and then down to 2 packs for a month, and now i'm at less than a pack. What a wild ride it has been.

[rome1]

I am actually kinda glad to say that I haven't bought a pack since april and I haven't had one since the end of June. Hard as hell to quit again, but I'm done this time and I know this because I can actually hang outside at the bar w/ my friends and not smoke one.

[jayrock]

I tried to start smoking, but I couldn't deal with my hands always smelling like shitty cigarettes, so I quit.

[onemancult]

i want to smart smoking cloves or gay herbal cigarettes.

[Analog]

My one and only experience with herbal cigarettes ended in vomit. ing.

[rome1]

same thing happened with cloves for me. top of Copper Mtn in Colorado all over a picinic bench.

I'm digging up this to state that I am still going strong, I've had maybe two cigarettes since I decided to quite and both were a test to see if i could enjoy them,but not become addicted again. Also to offer support to anyone else who decided to quit or is thinking about it.

I used to smoke since i was 13 (lucky strikes, reds).. then got in to the respiratory therapy field, nothing will make you quit like seeing what it does i.e. cancer, copd, ect.

I had a patient with cancer who had a lobectomy basicaly drowning in his own secretions .. still sounds like fun? how about getting suctioned every 30 minutes because its coming up through you trach...still fun how about being put on the ventilator just to breath...everytime i would go in his room he would ask me just to turn the vent off and let him die ... he eventually expired due to his state.

when i finally quit(cold turkey).. i notice when im around people that do smoke(to each his own, i'm no snob) the smoke irritates my nose, and the next day i have a bad sore throat. and the stench on your clothes please... and kissing girls that smoke now that i dont..the taste is horrible.

[kunk75]

had a relapse over the last few weeks, went on the patch today.

[destructodisk]

I have complete confidence I will be able to quit at the drop of a hat whenever I choose to do so.

[kunk75]

^i've said that dozens of times.

[destructodisk]

son i ain't better than you

I JUST THINK DIFFERENT

[homi29]

for some reason i didnt see kunk as a smoker

[kunk75]

^makes no sense to me either. i eat right, work out and have a family. barely drink. no drugs. along with chronic masturbation, these are my only vices.

[destructodisk]

what do you smoke kunk?

[kunk75]

camel lights.

[destructodisk]

c'mon now that's barely a cigarette...

[kunk75]

^stands to reason. i'm trying to be barely a smoker.

i know its a little different, but ever since i posted that i was going to stop smoking weed, i did. Sunday will be my 7th week sober

It was shitty the first few days but i got over it. If i can do it, anyone can. BEEEEEEFCAAAAAAAAAAAKKE

[Augustus]

I rarely smoke during summer and winter vacations, but whenever im in school, I have a tendency of smoking cigs. Def cutting down. Does smoking a cig really boost your high after smoking weed? My friend keeps telling me this, but its disgusting to smoke a cig with a dry mouth in my opinion.

[16steps]

/\ i found that it killed it

[crissyw]

^ same, i'd never stoge after a hit

around SJ (not downtown), there's nothing to do but smoke weed, stoges, or hookah.

quittin's hard but so worth it.

[FAM0US.]

Cigs are fucking lame.

san jose is a shitty city. Read Joan Didion's "Where I was From." she agrees.
