LMAO @ cigarette smokers

[Samurai Jane]

Good job, SW! We're rooting for you! I quit about 10 years ago and have had little lapses here and there since then, most recently on my move out here. Who knew all those years that I was supposed to be putting out when I was at the club smoking??? Anyway, it's no small task and I commend you for doing what it takes!

I'm actually a work in progress ... I'm down to 3-5 a day, currently trying to kick my toughest triggers. And that's pretty damn good for me, considering I was introduced to cigarettes before about 80% of the members of this forum were even born...when they still had a smoking section my first year of high school. When it's been a part of your life for 25 years, cold turkey is too scary.

Not that anyone really cares whether I smoke or not ... I just hate hypocritical wads with nothing better to do than laugh at and criticize other peoples problems while completely ignoring their own.

Ha, we had smoking and dipping areas at my high school I want to say through my junior year. We also had exemptions/open campus during finals week as well.

Isn't there a limit of how much you can chew in a day?

I'm actually good with just 1 or 2 pieces a day ... but they are really strong. I don't even think the nicotine addiction is that bad, most of the time I don't even enjoy it like I used to. It's the habit of doing it that's been hindering my efforts.

I'd gotten down to 1 a day and was just about ready to quit for good, but then my mom died (2 years ago next month ) ... and that set my efforts waayyyy back.

Thanks.

Good luck, SW, I know it is hard. My entire family smoked while I was growing up and though it took many, many tries they were able to finally give it up. Somehow I was the only one in the family to never have the temptation, probably due to being an uber-nerd.

I can't wait until San Antonio bans smoking at all public places including bars.

Me too. Here in Slovenia that will happen to. That's nice.

[mFFL03]

shouldn't it be as easy as having non-smoking bars and smoking bars?
non-smoking restaurants and smoking restaurants?

I could easily make a case on how birth-control pills are slowly altering our water resources causing mutations in both wildlife, fish, turtles, etc as well as snakes. In humans its been linked to larger nipples and other such crossovers of male and females.

But you don't see me walking into a restaurant and pleading all women to stop taking a pill because they could be directly causing the mutations of wildlife, and maybe my children.

oh yea....and cellphones cause cancer!

[midgetonadonkey]

Wow. That was a terrible post.

[Melmart1]

Mav fan get high!

[midgetonadonkey]

I get high too but I'm still coherent.

[CuckingFunt]

Now, now. Be nice.

I'm sure mFFL03 thought that post was all kinds of insightful and stuff, and now you're just crushing his dreams.

[CuckingFunt]

Now, now. Be nice.

Ew. Shut the up, pussy.

I find smokers to be the most hilarious people in the world. It's funny/sad/pathetic to see some tough person walk around and then when they don't get their smoke, simply dissolve into a fiend wanting to get their fix and doing anything for it.

I hope they do ban smoking everywhere.

I can only think of Homer and Apu when Homer tries to find a last minute gift for Marge.

Homer: What?!?! That's highway robbery I won't pay it!!!
Apu: Oh I think you will.

That's the smokers...I think you will pay that price.

im once again in the on again off again bull of quitting....more or less have with the occasional slip up
however if someone wants to smoke let them. maybe not so much in a restaurant...but all public places to include bars is out of hand. why get rid of one persons rights to protect anothers
and keep in mind that its not illegal for these asshole politicians in d.c., and yeah i know these are state rules but theyre all hand in hand, to smoke in their offices, govt offices at that (illegal to smoke in govt building incase you didnt know), but we cant smoke where we want.
this , yet antoher reason im sad i joined the military. america is going down the dumps. canada or jamaica look better and better everyday.

[midgetonadonkey]

I've been buying buy 1 get one free packs of smokes. It was Camal Lights for a while and then Camal Turkish Silver (which are pretty good). Now I'm on Marlboro Mediums. It's great getting 2 packs for $5.80.

[midgetonadonkey]

Camel Menthol Lights are buy one get one free. I even got a free Zippo style lighter. $7.50 for two packs isn't bad at all.

[Trainwreck2100]

lol two price hikes in the last 8 months
lol $6 a pack

[z0sa]

i just roll my own or hit some outta pipe

[Bender]

just the occasional cigar for me...

[phyzik]

Im still smoking, didnt make the least bit of difference in my supposed evil habit.

shhh, dont speak the truth, you might upset the ing ferries on this forum who think our government is actually looking out for our health and well being.

They shouldn't have to when you're not even looking out for your own health.

[Darrin]

Yes, it's important we tax as many people who are addicted as possible. They are usually the richest people in the country.

For the record, I smoke two packs a day.

[z0sa]

smoking is cool.

[Darrin]

smoking is cool.

It feels good, but the first time you drop a hot on the new carpet or going into a coughing fit that seems to have no end, it loses its cool factor. I do it because I love it after meals and sex. I do it because I like the taste of it. Not because it's cool.
