Smokers and the non

[Bryson]

Day One

I am tired of smoking, so I think I am going to quit. I am on day one right now, and am using those Commit lozenges, they seemed to work the best the last time I quit (A whole whopping 7 seven days, then I went to the bar one night).

I really want to quit this time, not only for money and health reasons, but because of that little syndrome I have. I have Gillian Barre, and every now and then my feet go numb for 4-5 months (aint life lovely?). So I was thinking, what the heck am I doing smoking when I have a nerve disease? It doesnt make much sense to someone who has never smoked cigarettes. Some would say "You're an idiot, stop smoking!".

If someone could please just do me a favor, and call me an idiot for smoking.
And tell me the other health risks that go along with it (ie, death, cancer, no voice box, tubes up my nose, unable to eat) Call me a moron, a loser, a bum with no control, anything. People at smoking forums are just too nice. "Oh you just quit whenever you are ready". No, I need swift roundhouse kick to my skull. Please attach some common sense to your foot when doing so, and knock it right into the brain.

Maybe I'll listen this time.

Sounds more like blog material to me D=

Listen. You KNOW all those things, you don't need someone to tell you about the health risks (to yourself and people with you), the drain on your wallet, etc.

I've never smoked, so I don't know what if feels like to be addicted. But what I DO know is that thousands of people find success at quitting. Sure, it's hard, but it CAN be done.

Just send me all your money to my paypal account and then you can not buy anymore cigarettes period. :biggrin2: NONONO IM SERIOUS!

 

[striker]

Oh you just quit whenever you feel ready, hon.

Quit for your family, it is selfish of you that they will have to watch you go through lung cancer.

All smokers say I don't care until they get lung cancer, then they realise how stupid they really are.

Hey there fellow smoker.

Quiting aint easy, and I know it.
Without any quiting aids I managed to get to 6 days, but I ran to the corder store on the 7th heh.
My sister says I should get nicorette, the gum. But I actually think the nicoderm patch would be the best solution.
I got a friend who smoked 2 packs per day. She used the patches and is now smoke-free for 5 months

Or you could get one of those "cool" inhalers.. Do they even sell them anymore?

Quit smoking.

You are making it harder in your head than it actually is. You can quit when you want to, and now is a great time to do so. Maybe you should make a blog and post day to day how long you make it, when your cravings are. We will all subscribe to it, and turn against you if you fail. How's that for a community being behind you?


My great uncle is on a breathing machine because he smoked. He had to sell his land he grew up and lived on for 60 some years on to afford all the health bills he now has to pay. He lives in a small apartment in a bad area of town and can't even get up when he wants to. He isn't expected to live much longer becaue his lungs work about as well as a popped balloon.

If that isn't a good enough true story to hear, you're hopeless. Prove me wrong

My mom smoked for God only knows how long. She developed lung, breast, and brain cancer due to smoking and other lil things. My whole family including me *about 11 at the time* and to watch as she slowly died and there was nothing we could do but to make her as comfortable as possible.

All your doing is slowly killing yourself. There is no need in it. You can buy all the game, patches, whatever in the world but the only way your going to quite is self determination. Also if you have someone like a kid, family member, gf, whatever to look up to. Quit for them. I am sure they would rather see you healthy and active and not dying slowly.

What is the issue?

 

[bozley05]

No I am not. He asked for people to be honest, and that is what I truly feel. I have seen my uncle go through lung cancer and die.. It isn't nice.

 

[GeorgeB]

I have watched my mother go through three types of cancer before I 13. It isn't a pretty site and you feel so bad knowing you can't do nothing to stop it.

What is the issue?

Basically, smokers are selfish and stupid...

Don't forget, Rock and Roll and TV rots your brain.

 

[hottweelz]

What did you do Robert? Delete my other post? Good night... after my cigarette, I'm logging off.

 

[GeorgeB]

Rock & Roll and tv have nothing to do with the discussion, no offense. Also why did you just call yourself stupid and selfish for ? When you said " Basically, smokers are selfish and stupid" and "After my cigarette, I'm logging off"
