PSA for Smokers Trying to Quit

[peewee's lovechild]

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



Anything else you'd like to contribute?

I like you.
That was a good one.

Anyway, my problem is that I start out strong, giving it up for up to a month, but then I quickly fade away.

I just get real fidgity and all I can do is think about smoking another cigarette. I think about it even more if I'm under stress or going through something ty.

I just quit smoking ... Chantix doesn't help the iness go completely away.

It helps if you have supportive people around you ... and you definitely have to keep busy. I will be making some seriously complicated dinners this week, because the urge to smoke after I've gotten home & changed into more comfortable clothes is a pretty stong one.

The last time I'd almost completely stopped for good my mom died ... so I ended starting right back up again. Now I have no parents or grandparents left and my life is going really well, so now is a good time for me to give it another (hopefully final) shot.

Well, good luck . . . I hope you finally pull through.

I like the idea of Chantix, but it's a little expensive.
I might give it a try, though.

But, I'm also surrounded by smokers at work.
So, that doesn't help.

I'll probably try to seriously quit soon . . . I like the idea of being able to breath past the age of 40.

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.

I can see what you mean. Like the main dude's dad in "Knocked Up" said, "If it grows out of the ground, it's probably ok."

But yeah I see where you're coming from, especially since we have both had cigarette habits (I still have one) and know the health risks of those.

I don't plan on being a career stoner longer than a few more years anyway. Eventually I'll need to get a secure job and can't afford the risk of getting high all the time.

One of my father's friends was a career stoner and 2 pack-a-day cigarette smoker and he sat me down for a "heart-to-heart" talk about how I need to get off both of them as soon as possible because he wasted his life and he can't run a lap around the track without getting exhausted... definitely don't want to have to take elevators all the time when I'm old because I can't make it up the stairs without fainting.
