You can't smoke within 5mtrs of most buildings here,on the "cafe' strip in the street or even on the beach.
You can't even smoke in a car with a child in it.They push these anti smoking BS ads on everything even
the packaging,knowing full well the government needs the revenue.I can understand smoking in cars with kids
but come on,not being able to smoke outside... utter nonsense.
Half of the worst anti-smoke nazi's are reformed smokers. lol
I pay about 18-20 bucks for a 30 gram pouch to roll it myself.
Luckily i was old enough to know what it was like to sit in a bar and have have a beer with a smoke.
I actually miss the smell of the old taverns.
To any kids reading this,smoking is nothing to be glorified,it smells,chicks don't want to kiss you,
it makes you unsociable "because you gotta go outside" and it burns a big hole in your pocket.

Does anyone do like in the movies where someone who doesn't smoke anymore but who had a crap day buys a pack, pulls one, throws the pack away, and smokes just the one cigarette?
A lot of my friends have gone to the packs where you have to roll it yourself. Takes them a lot longer to roll it so they smoke less and pay less for it. My cousins in college, out of state, go to someplace where you buy the paper and tobacco separate and put it into machine that rolls them all for you. Costs less money that way.
My neighbor smokes an e cigarette now. He quit smoking a few years ago and made it about a year and a half. His mom was and is a smoker and really wanted him to quit. I seriously think I may have been the only one of his friends to keep pushing him to abstain because I left to do my student teaching for a few months and he started smoking when at the local outdoor rc tracks. He got an e cigarette and smokes a little more often now but not nearly as much as he was before he quit.
I was on a cruise a few weeks ago and you could smoke outside on certain decks or in the casino ONLY if you were sitting at a table game or slot machine. That was weird.

E cigarettes are stupid. "I quit smoking tobacco, now I smoke an e cig everyone should be soooo proud of me!" Nicotine addiction is nicotine addiction no matter how you imbibe it. The only way to stop smoking is to stop buying them and quit. All the pills, patches and potions are for pussies that can't handle the withdrawals.
I quit smoking, drinking over a gallon of mt dew a day and fast food at tue same time. That was a rough couple of weeks but it was worth it. Haven't touched a lit cigarette since, I've drank maybe 5 cans of mt dew in nearly 9 years but I do still eat a bit of fast food due to convenience and my laziness.

No. I quit once for 5 years, then had the worst weekend of my life. One of those you'll never be the same weekends. I hadn't smoked in 5 years, so I thought what the heck, just one won't hurt me. I was smoking a pack a day by Monday. Right where I left off 5 years before.
It's a very serious drug addiction. Worse than heroin. Worse than alcohol. And, like the junky and drunk, you are forever an addict. One cigarette is enough to send you over the edge.
Hollywood lies. But, the worse part, is they lie for a reason and that reason is usually connected to pushing product.
Real compassion shown there.:roll: We are all different and not everything is judged by your view of masculinity. And in truth, when I see overt displays of manliness like that, I really start to wonder about the guy that spouts stuff like that in public. Or, in the timeless words of Shakespeare, "Me thinks he doth protest to much."WHITE-TRASH said:

Think what you want about my masculinity, you are the one addicted to putting something in your mouth.
If you want to quit you will quit. All the quitting aids do is mask the suck of the withdrawls. I say you started the habit all by yourself, why not quit the same way and face your addiction head on? I can say the second biggest reason I will not under any circumstances light another cigarette in my life is so I can avoid the withdrawls. The biggest reason is because I quit once and for all and I'm sticking to it.
If you don't want to quit stop whining about your addiction and own up to that fact and keep on blowing the marlboro man. Too many people say they want to quit yet so few do it. Shit or get off the pot.
When I smoked in High School in 1977 I swore I would quit if cigs reached one dollar a pack. They were 50 cents a pack then. A carton was under 5.00. I had to quit about 10 years ago because I was diagnosed with COPD. I was waking up at night smothering and breathless. I couldn't work through the day like I did before. Each cigarette cut me like a knife. I used the patch for a week, then cut them in half for a week, then nothing. I take two medications now so I can sleep and breathe. They cost 500.00 a month, 250.00 each. Every month. I tried going without one of them for a month. It was agony. Smothering at night, breathlessness all day, chest pain. I now spend more every month than I ever did smoking and I can't stop.
I'm 54 years old and men older than me have much more stamina. I can't run for fear of pushing myself past a point I can't return from. I have to judge outings for distance to make sure I don't get to winded. I keep an eye out for places to rest. I was always bombarded with the fear of cancer. But, that isn't what most folks get from smoking. COPD, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, is the real threat most people face. It is life stopping and I would not wish it on my worst enemy.
I know none of you want to hear it, but I would highly suggest quitting...yesterday. I don't care how tough you are, or how healthy you think you are, you can't do anything if you can't breathe. Nothing.
K, lecture is over.
i have the same thing, kinda. freaking silicosis poisoning... it wasnt cancer that made me quit, it was waking up each night choking on my own breath, and also my teeth getting loose... periodontal disease...
when i smoked, it was a nightly routine to wake up around 3-4am with what felt like my lungs sticking together, coughing to the point where i had to measure my breathing to get control over it.
...smoking a cigarette usually settled me down.

Cold turkey is the hardest but best way to do it. I've heard that nicobate (the stop smoking aid) is owned by Benson and Hedges.
What does that tell you.
Apparently if you stop smoking ,after about 5-6 days most of the nicotine is out of your system and your just fighting your
brain after that.I've tried quitting 3 times but haven't tried hard enough.When you're not even 30 yet and cant push your car
off the road or jog a lap around an oval it's pretty scary.
Never had reason enough to quit either,until yesterday.Just found out the missus is pregnant.Might be time to re-evaluate things again.

i too did the cold turkey method, back in 2004 - had to get the 2wk sick-in-bed flu in order to make it happen, then decided if i wanted a smoke it had to be from the stale pack sitting in the sun in my truck. glad it did happen or i'd be with you all paying out the ass for smokes. when i started smoking i could get a pack for around $2, then it was around $5-6 when I quit. the last year of smoking, i discovered Peter Stokkebye Danish Export tobacco - buy a 10oz can of it online for like $15 shipped and roll your own. Saves $ and is a far superior tobacco product that isn't full of all the ammonia, etc that companies like Marlboro puts in there to make it more addictive. just looked online again and it's still around the same price.
I quit using Chantix 8 years ago. I was 47. I played volleyball a couple times a week, ran a couple times a week and was at the same weight as I was when I retired from the navy at 38. I never had a smokers cough and didn't have issues with shortness of breath. But, my wife did so I quit for her. I loved getting my sense of taste and smell back though.
Now I am overweight, out of shape and short of breath. Of course that is also after 5 knee scopes and 2 knee replacements.

You don't really read much do you? I mean, comprehension is definitely not your strong suite. I quit smoking 10 years ago. I stated such earlier in the thread. Yeah, talk about putting things in your mouth, Is that your foot?Think what you want about my masculinity, you are the one addicted to putting something in your mouth.

That sounds kinda like black lung that coal miners get. You work in a mine or quarry or something?
I also worked in the printing industry all those years and I know the chemicals also had an effect on me. Many nights I went home with lungs hurting after breathing tunnel dryer smoke from printing T-shirts all day. I think it may have more to do with my COPD than smoking actually, but whenever I tell people I have COPD, the first thing they ask is, "did you smoke?";-)

No tough guy here I'm just stating my opinion same as you. I also quit smoking right about 9 years ago so I am well aware of what it takes to quit.
I am wondering what my strong suite is though. I don't live in a hotel, care to try that again?

Not really, I find this sort of thing juvenile and smarmy. You go right ahead though, you seem to enjoy taunting others. Part of the whole macho mystique I guess. Oh, and btw, cut down on the public homophobic insults, they are very telling of where your head is at much of the time. Try not thinking about it so much.No tough guy here I'm just stating my opinion same as you. I also quit smoking right about 9 years ago so I am well aware of what it takes to quit.

ROFL, Um...yeah...right...I got that the first time. Y'know, if you feel the need to explain the jokes...
Oh, and one homophobic reference is quite enough thanks.
Don't you have to go man up another thread? There might be sissys over there. No wait, what was your term...pussies I think. Yeah, go straighten them ***** homos out over there. I mean, they might be using the patch to quit smoking. Go get em!
worked at a grain elevator a few summers, which was really really bad for my lungs, and i grew up around alot of concrete and masonry dust.
im pretty sure both of those were the main culprits but the smoking def didnt help.

Yeah, I think it's an accumulative effect. All the bad stuff you inhale catches up with you. My Mother has COPD as well, and she never smoked a day in her life. But, my Father smoked, in the car, windows rolled up. It took a lot of pleading to get him to roll down a window when I was a kid. And we had coal heat for years. I think the coal smoke and second hand smoke got to her.
You don't have to smoke to get COPD, but it doesn't help either.
EDIT: Now that I think of it, it was my job to bring in the coal every day and stoke the fires. It could be that the coal smoke has a lot to do with my COPD as well. Printing industry, coal smoke, cigarettes, have meant severe COPD for me at a fairly early age. Doc says I have 30% lung capacity.

I was unaware that someone being a p*ssy was the same as them being a homosexual. You are reading just a few miles too far into things. :ror:

No, but equating smoking with "blowing the Marlboro man", and stating those that use smoking cessation products are pussies sure is a funny way of relating to the world. Then, I also notice the morphodite reference in your sig and I see someone quite obsessed with gender identification.
I dunno, maybe because it was all in a couple posts that seemed way overboard in those areas that made me assume you must project something you feel inadequate about.
I'd rather drop this and discuss the topic, but I get the feeling you need to prove something. I've felt that all along really.
