Re: Quitting smoking.

Just think of how you're killing yourself every time you want a cigarette, grab a piece of chocolate.

Just think about how fat you'll be. Great idea.

Re: Quitting smoking.

i know people who havn't smoked for 10 years and they still have cravings for a cig, they should ban them.

Why ban them? If somebody wants to smoke, we've all been educated about them and why not have the freedom to make up our own minds?

I have a friend who's been chain-smoking for about a year now, and he just can't quit. Then again he hasn't tried to very hard or tried using any products. I'd personally just cut down slowly over time then use a patch or something.

I've actually questioned why they don't make it illegal though. I mean think about it they're known to cause all kinds of deadly illnesses and we all know it's bad for you. Now yea it can be said it's a personal choice but then why are drugs illegal? Why aren't they just a personal choice at least pot. Pot is pretty much no worse than having a drink. (I don't do it personally but still) Plus they're addicting so if your a teen and you pick one up not really thinking about the damage it can cause and you become hooked it's a bitch to come off. Hell there are kids that their parents smoke and they start sneeking cigs when they're like 9. And anyone can say oh well I know someone that quit it's not that hard. It varies from person to person you have to remember that. Not everyone's body reacts the same to the addiction.

I didn't say it wasn't hard, I just said he needs to man up and do it. It's for his own good.

Re: Quitting smoking.

My dad was a smoker for I don't even know how long. He had finally quit when we were kids didn't touch one for 7 years. After my parents divorced he went right back to it again and now everytime he tries to quit he's right back on it again a few days later. It's ridiculous the hold the nicotine has on you. Plus just the mental aspect of it you end up associating so many things with cigs. Like after eating.

I completely agree. If anything pot is better than having a drink as alcohol is physically addictive, and causes quite a bit more harm on your body. I can understand why drugs like meth and heroine should be illegal, but honestly why can't people make their own choices? Cigarettes give you a buzz at most, nothing if you smoke them regularly and yet are worse than a load of illegal drugs, like pot. In Ontario at least I think it's legal cause they tax it so heavily.

It depends on the reasons somebody has at the time to smoke, which impacts your motivation. If you're quitting cause you wanna see your grandchildren grow up, you're going to have way more motivation than some guy in his 20's thinking "Hey this isn't bad for me, I should probably try and stop".

Re: Quitting smoking.

Who doesn't? It's just the addictiveness/health problems about them.

The motivation should still be roughly the same as far as I can see. "I want to live longer, be healthier, see my children and grandchildren grow up." In fact, there's more to this motivation than what my dad's was.

Most 20 year olds I know when they want to quit are just like "Meh, I guess I should quit this". It's easier to be motivated to see grandchildren when you've had kids, plus you want to set a good example blah blah blah. Point is I think it's the norm to have more motivation to quit when you're older.
