    That might be a good indication that you should consider stopping ... that can't be good.
    I certainly won't argue with that. Its obviously not easy to stop what we enjoy and of course I justify it with that fact that I'm not a binge alkie or anything like that. I don't get drunk often and I don't drink and drive, I'm simply just a daily user. AA would eat me up with a line like that huh.

    Yeah, that's pretty gruesome. You'd think that'd be enough to make anyone quit.
    It was very powerful. They had the pair of black lungs on display and a tall, clear box right next to them. The box had a sign that read something to effect of, "If you would like to quit smoking now, you can leave your pack in here," and there was literally around a hundred packs of cigarettes in the box.

    funny... i always thought cigarettes did a good job of leaving that impression on their own.

    I never picked up the habit but watched both parents and both siblings struggle time after time over decades before they finally were able to give it up. Good luck SW.

    Great find, SW.

    Im a creating a shortcut to this thread. I am done with this habit...Michigan is banning smoking in publiv places before the end of this year. Might as well quit now.

    Been smoking for 15 years (im 27) and know this is going to kill me early. Tried quitting last year for the 1st time in my life. Lasted 4 weeks, then right back to it.

    Seriously, best of luck to you. I don't know how well this will work for everyone, but I continue to be amazed at how much it's helping me, and it really is getting easier ... and my doctor said that all of his other patient's taking it (at least 80% of them ) have gone off the medication and remained smoke-free. You'll still have moments, but they are much easier to deal with.

    There are risks taking any kind of medication, obviously, but I really can't think of much worse than what cigarettes definitely will do to you.

    It's a 12 week program ... the first month was $114.99, the next 2 months are about $130.00...and my doctor said he'd extend the prescription if I need him to.


    But considering a carton of cigarettes is hovering around $40.00, that's not too bad in the long run.
    You pay $40 for a carton? They're only about $20 for me and I think that's high.
    This drug sounds good, I may have to check it out. Thanks for the info.

    Good luck to all those try to quit. As an ex-smoker myself, I know how hard it can be. Fortunaly, I'm one of the few that was able to quit cold turkey.

    I've been smoking for longer than it's been since the last time you were within touching distance of a naked vagina.

    I've got my smoking down to 2 in the morning on the ride to work. This might work for the wife though.

    Does that include him grabbing onto his momma to break the fall when he was born?

    I'll never believe that putting any kind of smoke into your lungs isn't harmful.
    Well, there are no incidents in the history of recreational pot use of someone dying from smoking too much weed. But a lot of career stoners including myself also smoke cigarettes so I guess it really doesn't matter.

    My mom and step father in VA use chantrix(chantix? I've always called it chantrix, whatever)

    I don't smoke myself but since they started taking that they haven't smoked once or cheated.

    My brother took some of it too but smoked out of boredom, but he didn't have to smoke as much. So whatever that stuff does to you, it seems to work really well if you're serious about getting off cigs.

    I've heard 1,000,001 reasons from users of all ages how it can absolutely NEVER be criticized as being anything less than the most perfect gift from Mother Nature. I still don't believe putting any kind of smoke in your lungs can ever be a good idea.

    That's awesome! Good for them!

    You'll find that quitting becomes easier as you get some time between you and your last smoke, but you won't even count the time anymore. You will know deep inside yourself that you want to be healthy. You will become a non-smoker, not an ex-smoker. It's a shift in your core values. That's when you know you're done with it forever.
