Re: Quitting smoking.

I'd rather take a loaded 22 to my own brain than sit in a room breathing the same zyklon b you're so close minded.

Re: Quitting smoking.

Addiction is addiction, and honestly it really is not something that should be judged. If one smokes it may not be as much their choice as you think it is. I give props to any person who takes the time out of their life to really sit down and make the decision to really try and put down an addiction like smoking, or any kind of drug for that matter. Yes it may have been a dumb choice to start, but that is a choice that was made by the person at hand. I have seen my friends going through hell and back to try and quit some of these things and I am proud to see anyone who has the courage to stand up to an addiction.

As for you Emo_Saur_ I really hope you can get things sorted out. I really know what it is like to feel that way, the feeling like you are being looked down upon for your choices can really get to you. Whether it be by co-workers, friends, family, or even people you don't know. Maybe some time away will be just what you need.

Re: Quitting smoking.

Even though it's completely disgusting and I have NEVER once in my entire life contemplated poisoning myself just to 'look cool', I always try to be tolerant around my friends who smoke and it's never really a problem.

Re: Quitting smoking.

atleast you're open to the idea that people do it, and while you may not enjoy it much you don't let it get in the way of friendships.

Re: Quitting smoking.

That really is the way that every person should be. It is not anyone's choice to make other then the one who is doing it. You can disagree, but really allowing it to change your relationship with that person is stupid. If they decide to quit or you can convince them too good but never drop their friendship over the habit. Unless of course it gets to be a problem that effects your life as well as theirs. Variables in there I suppose.

Re: Quitting smoking.

Honestly I don't know if I could LIVE with a smoker. I could probably make it work but there would need to be ground rules and limitations. Just keep it on the patio and clean up your ****. I used to know three people who lived together and I would hang out at their place all the time. They were all heavy smokers and it was ****ing disgusting.

I never smoke inside, I always smoke outside.

Re: Quitting smoking.

Well im on my 7th day now, still going strong! Thanks for all the advice, if i need to i will use some of it.

The reason i want to give up is obviously health reasons, mainly as i play football and i noticed i am 'puffed' out (excuse the pun) before a lot of my friends. I want to be back to feeling fit again.

Also money, at £6 every 2 days for 20 ciggarettes, id rather treat the girlfriend, or actually have money at the end of each month rather than scrape by!

Good luck if anyone else is trying to quit smoking.

Re: Quitting smoking.

Congratulations on trying to quit. At least you are recognizing that your addiction is a problem and you are taking the step to quit.

I think the problem is more loneliness then addiction. If you stopped getting on the computer you'd realize how little human interaction you have from day to day.

Re: Quitting smoking.

I've never tried smoking or drugs, don't see why I should. It's completely useless. My friend started doing it and now he's annoying as ****, always using the term "man" after every damn sentence.

What I hate is how you can smoke in a car but not talk on a cell phone. Smoking = 1 hand on the wheel most of the time and ashes hit other peoples cars and they just toss them out the window when they're done.

Also, it's sad seeing groups of like 30 kids smoking outside of highschools, between 13 and 18 years old. None of them are allowed to buy cigarettes but everyone has em, yet you can't get busted for it.
