The Quit Smoking Thread

[metalman]

there just something about driving with either the windows down or the top down and puffin on a cig at the same time! it just completes a drive to me!

...and when your lungs eventually corrode, fill up with mucus and stop working that completes the cig. :lol:

Well..thats why I quit. I know the act of smoking is enjoyable..I always enjoyed it. Its the effects that suck ***. ;)

true very true! i have cut back a lot from what i used to smoke, i was up to a lil more than a pack a day, and now down to bout half a pack!

[MeFryRice]

Glad to see that your cutting back although quiting completely would be the best thing! ;)

[wonton]

yeah everybody tells me that! but its so hard to quit after smoking for so long!

Cold turkey man...cold turkey. I quit a severe multi pack a day habit...just stopped. Its the only way. ;) The first week or two is the hardest...then it gets easier and easier until you eventually just find cig smoke irritating. Only thing is, if you ever pick them up again you can jump right into your habit again...in 2 seconds. It wont take time to develop like the first time. I have puffed a few cigars...but very rarely...usually when a friend had a kid, but I dont tempt fate with cigs, plus I hate cigars, they taste and smell like donkeys ***....or what I imagine that to be. :lol:

I sometimes miss the activity of smoking...but not the nasty breath, nasty car, nasty house, coughing, & potential slow painful death...and anymore it rarely comes to mind.

i was fixing to say how do you know what a donkeys *** taste like! :lolol: but yeah im i think im gonna try cold turkey! here lately ill be smoking and while at the time in my mind im enjoying it but physically im really starting to hate it! so maybe cold turkey wont be to bad! i just need to be ready!

[metalman]

i just need to be ready!

Yep, good idea. Be ready to be stubborn and strong. And cutting back some first is good too. But, keep in mind, your body will only let you taper off so much...it wants the nicotine to feed your habit....then you end up smoking each cig like some joint and holding it in to get it... :lol:
Good luck...if I can quit, anyone can!

I moved this into it's own thread as it kinda drifted far away from what we don't like about our NAs. :D

It's cool. It's probably my fault anyway as I told you to stop smoking in your car. :)

[wonton]

[RotorNutFD3S]
