advice on quitting smoking

[NAD]

i need to fucking quit god dammit, any yous ever do them shitz?

i quit for like a year and a half and thought i was done for good, then was a dumbass and used the excuse of breaking up with my chick to start up again and after like a year and a half i'm starting to smoke every day.

so yeah, like give me a story if you have one.

 

[lurch70]

used to smoke 2 packs a day from 17-25 ... had some bad stomach problem ... doc tells me to quit ... i do it cold turkey ... have not smoked since (well except cigars now)

from my experience and from others ... if you have no real reason to quit ... it will be hard and most likely wont happen.

give your picture to EVERYwhere within a several hour's drive radius and tell them not to sell you smokes, that'd be a start, then you just have to worry about bumming them off your friends, stealing them, killing so you can take them off corpses and such trivial inconveniences.

i only smoke when i'm already drunk/high, so the only advice i can give you is SMOKING WILL SERIOUSLY KILL YOU, STOP SMOKING OR WE WILL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED, SERIOUSLY DO IT

 

[E-bortion]

I have the same troubles. I need to lay off, but the inspiration is lacking.

also, a narrative:

Once upon a time there were two people. Their names were Silvano and Lisetta Giovannetti. It was the 50s and smoking was cool so of course they both did it. Then one day, a mean doctor told them smoking might maybe be bad for you and kill you some day. Silvano immediately quit, while Lisetta struggled with quitting and eventually resigned herself to being a smoker.

Fast forward to 1992. Lisetta dies of lung cancer, leaving behind a devastated family of two sons, their wives and 5 grandchildren as well as her mother and husband. Fast forward once again to 2001. Silvano succumbs to lung cancer caused by living in the same house as a smoker for 35 years.

Damn, that story sucks

 

[NAD]

i've already resigned myself to liver cancer, so those sob stories aren't gonna work.

 

[lurch70]

all the family members I had that died of lung cancer from smoking ... made it past 70 ... that is a pretty good deal in my book ... i would fucking smoke until I die too.

who needs those last few diaper years anyway?

 

[Mormagil]

Do it for me, I need a strong father figure.

it's not really that, but that smoking compresses your years of living more than just cuts off the end part....you age so much faster smoking cigs, the shit they put in those is just not natural at all. addiction is just not worth it.

 

[lurch70]

yeah, this is true.

from my experience the hardest thing about quiting is not the nicotine withdrawal ... but the actual habit of going out for a smoke, etc.

 

[Demilich]

Marijuana > cigs. Smoked maybe 10 in my life over the period of 2 years ,and regret that so much. On the other hand I have smoked on average maybe a quarter ounce of weed a week for the past few months, and it's been so fun that I don't care if it destroys my body, diseases me, kills me, or sleeps with my girlfriend.

hahahaha, yes, NAD take up weed instead. weed = well-being, cigs = death....granted i've bummed my share of stoges over the past couple weeks but addiction, hardly

 

[NAD]

what's this "take up weed" bit? i smoke them shitz already! just not lot, cuz like, i don't like being stoned very often.

Do it for me, I need a strong father figure.

hahahahahahaha

try what one guy I know did. He put assorted "items" in rollies and smoked them and it tasted so bad he couldn't even put one to his lips without vomiting.... sadly, that ruled out doobies as well.

holy shit dude you just reminded me of a method i came up with like 9 years ago. was smoking one o' them american spirit zero nicotine shit things and after choking one down i said "fuck these things, if i ever need to quit i'll buy a pack of these!"

dammit, now i have a bigger problem: some friends of mine are downtown at a bar and i have a possible case of the ripshitz coming on so i don't know if i should go or not.

haha, totally, when i hit that age i'm gonna do every drug known to man .....and NAD, what you've gotta do is find yourself something to replace those nasty cigs...start rolling your own and i guarantee you'll cut back a good bit. and any time you feel like going out for a smoke, do something creative instead; draw a picture, write a poem or editorial, do a lap around your building...
