I have to agree with Captian here.

 

Everyone I know who does or has smoked agrees that non smokers have no idea how hard it is to stop. But most non smokers I know say "why don't you just stop?" as though it's like choosing not to drink chocolate milk anymore, or giving up your favourite food.

 

It's not that easy. Imagine being surrounded by jugs of ice cold water while you work out, and not being able to drink anything from them, for 3 months. Imagine having demons under your skin screaming to get out and tearing you up inside for weeks on end, and knowing a puff on a cigarette will make them calm. Imagine sitting in a room with a double barrelled shotgun in your hand watching someone rape your sister while she screams for help, for weeks, but trying not to pull the triggers.

 

Now imagine all three of those at once.

 

That's what it's like to give up a highly addictive substance that is socially acceptable, in common use by about 35% of the population of the world, and available everywhere for pocket change.

 

You may think not being able to quit is a weakness, but not understanding what you are judging people on is ignorant.

 

Nice analogies.

this thread makes me wanna start smoking again after 2 years of quiting, FUCK YOU ALL!! :tear:
SMOKING SUCKS!!!!! Why waste your money on a product that will one day kill you? It's pointless and stupid and plus it taste like shit and makes you smell like shit. It's expensive habit that you'll wish you would started in the first place. I'm glad I don't smoke cuz I don't want my lungs to look like shit and die an early age.

blocky;394215']mmm maybe you should have thought of that when you started doing coke every day? I've done it more times than I can count but never more than once every week or two at the very most, and generally more like once every month or two.

I am not debating the fact that chemical addiction exists, what I'm saying is weak is allowing yourself to become addicted in the first place.

 

 

Easy to say for someone like you spending your money to go and pick soem up.

 

I was selling it. Try only doing it once a month or even once a week when you have a QP sitting in your room.

 

I'm off it now, and never going back. Same with cigarettes. I'll probably smoke weed again years from now once im out of the military.

 

But for now, drug free is the way to be.

 

Props to everyone else that has quit cigarettes or any drug adiction, stay strong!

Yeah blocky, it's a bit silly allowing yourself to get addicted. But that's whycompanies and dealers target young teens. Their minds and bodies are changing at an alarming rate and they are more likely than at any other time in their life to get involved in self-destructive behaviour. Adulthood still seems like 100 years away, and fun now is most important in a teenagers mind most of the time.

 

Tobacco should be illegal and selling or providing/producing addictive substances should be a crime for which people are shot on sight. That will end a lot of the world's problems, and cut a lot of Al Qaeda's funding.

 

Except for coffee, keep that legal :D.

I smoke about 5 a day, but its a social thing and I could easily stop if I wanted.

 

The thing is, I usually have so many thoughts racing through my head, and after smoking I feel calm and alot more stable. Plus I am able to complete my college work alot better.

 

Just thought I'd add that. I havent noticed any change in my physical performance, but enhanced mental performance. I'm not an athlete so I guess it doesn't affect me.

 

 

Just set a plectrum on fire and had no idea how well they burned. Now my room smells of burning and I nearly set the internal house fire alarm off, which means around 80 students would have to run outside at 3:00a.m. wearing barely anything in the cold pouring rain.

Thats what 99% of smokers think...until they try to stop.

Dude, ask any smoker over the age of 20- "Did you intend to get addicted? Was it the plan when you started?"

 

Ask the same of any addict to ANY substance.

 

5 a day? You're most of the way to being a fulltime fully hooked smoker. Your only chance is to give that shit up now, or you can watch you money fly out of your wallet into other people's hands and watch your health slowly fall behind. You'll get colds and flu's more often, get puffed much faster, have less energy, be more susceptible to erectile dysfunction, smell badly and lose the ability to hook up with a lot of non-smoking girls (because kissing a smoker is like licking out an ashtray).

 

My mother quit for 5 years and went back to it when she broke up with my stepdad. I have only met (in person) 3 people who have quit for more than a year and still currently do not smoke. One was a fireman, says he gets enough smoke at work. One is borderline on caving in and going back, smokes when at parties and drinking, then spends the next 2 weeks craving them and hating himself, and the third is my grandad who was told he will die in 5 years or less if he doesn't quit, 10 or maybe more if he does quit.

 

I used to be able to run 16km in about an hour without stopping for breathers. I'd been smoking for two years. now I'm lucky if I run 2km before I think I'm going to die. Partly because I ganed a few kilos, but mostly it's my lungs. I feel like I'm running after inhaling a bag of cement powder. But I still wont quit. When you're hooked, you'll know why, but by then it will be too late to change your mind, because your mind will belong tot he nicotine.

How long would I need to go for without a cig for you to believe that I could easily go without cigs ?

 

:wow:

The rest of your life, otherwise it's not stopping.

 

Any smoker can go a while without a smoke. Even when i was heavily addicted I had no problem going for a week or more without a smoke. But you alwasy go back to them eventually.

 

If you smoke 5 a day and truely believe that you can just perminantly stop when ever you want, chances are your only lieing to yourself.

like 1.5-2 weeks, once you break that point its just a matter of not fucking up like everyday stuff because you get so distracted.

coke is really hard to quit for me, i still relapse to this day; ive only been off it since saturday too

 

i only smoke cigs when friends bring them over and everyone is having one, i never buy them on my own

Hide them up your butt, this will also give the cigs a "special" aroma.

 

Best way to stop an addiction is by starting with another one

It was for me to quit too, the withdrawls were awful. I haven't done it for about 3 weeks.

I'm pretty sure that was E... and I'm through with that too. I'm pretty much trying to quit all drugs for a while. The coke was the hardest.

The ecplise cigarettes are discusting and taste like charcoal, because well... thats what in them.

 

Luckys have become alot more common around here, and are now carried in most gas stations.

 

I quit a long time ago and have managed to not start again.

 

If you have only recently started again; quit. The longer you go the harder it will be.

 

As an ex-smoker I understand how little you will heed that warning, but I had to say it.

 

Cigarettes are a discusting and horrible habit and as an athelete myself to another athelete, your seriously hurting your game.

 

I remember when I first quit my stamina almost doubled INSTANTLY. It was the best feeling in the world when I did my first good run after quitting. When ever I want to light up I just think of that feeling. The feeling of being able to run 5 miles without even loosing any breath, and being able to keep going as long as i choose after that.

 

When i smoked by mile 5 I'd be breathing like I was running a marathon. Cigarettes are an atheletes worst nightmare.

 

 

You're gonna get banned if you keep telling people to stop smoking. End of story.

 

 

Camel Turkish Royals FTW.
