Okay, let's confess! How's the smoke-out going?

[celiaKitten]

I know there were a number of us smokers on Lit that were attemptimg to quit .. I remember Angel was too ..

How are we doing???

(I'm doing REALLY badly - Fly's about to kill me)

 

[Calamity Jane]

Well, not that i'm trying to quit, but if i was, i'd be doing really badly. I bought a carton yesterday, and i may smoke all of it tonight.

But dammit, they're lights... so they're healthy, right?

 

[celiaKitten]

wasn't there something on Dateline or one of those supa-parinoia shows that said lights actually had more nicotine in them?

Hell, I don't know.

Goig to the balcony for a smoke though Marl. light 100's

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

Come on girl you were doing so good too.

If you can't quit at least cut back. Think of something else, chew sunflower seeds. I don't care if you don't like them but they won't kill you.

 

[celiaKitten]

Are you kidding? I could very easily choke on those nasty little boogers!

 

[Willing and Unsure]

did you try mints? like the starlite ones.. they're really good, and very addictive (trust me, i know)

The question was again??

 

[Chuckus]

Well, just for the record.........I have been trying to cut back..and have been moderately successful.

I barely smoke when I am at home now...so I am down to like a pack a day or less. Sometimes I smoke only 10 a day....sometimes 30 a day. But I do find that I am smoking less and less.

I am trying to "ween" myself off them.......then next month I am going to get Zyban to help out a bit. I did it once before and quit for over a year, but had a week moment in a bar. Though I must confess that will not happen this time. When I am done, I am done. I will not pick up another for the rest of my life. Maybe if I were to find out that I was dying and had only XX amount of time to live anyways.........I might have one again but this time when I quit, I am done with it. I enjoy smoking but am tired of it.

Plus I have other things to do with my lungs than fry them.

Good Luck to all of you who are already trying to quit, soon I will join the "asshole" of the month/year club whilst going thru DT's.

I never even tried to stop, that's how bad I am.

It's not the nicotene that gets ya though, it's the tar... and hey, after smokin camel straights for years, i figure marlboro lights are healthy!

love the new camel jades though... not much of a menthol person (nevermind that i chew dentyne ice while i'm smokin) but they're yummy!

thank you fly

see, i know that. but hey, riding psycho horses causes paralysis... just ask superman... and driving too fast causes death... ask dale earnhardt... and well, there's a thousand things out there that can kill us. *shrug* maybe someday i won't enjoy it anymore and i'll quit.

 

[celiaKitten]

seeing french just makes me unhappy ....

(horrible exchange student story)

Couldn't I just say I'm taking a break from quitting??

and Pagan - I know what you mean - I used to smoke Marl Reds for 5 years .. only recently switched to lights.

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

Ignore the french.... that wasn't the point.

That is what you have to look at everytime you try to smoke in Ontario... that or, picrues of rotting teeth, people with removed lips, a miscarage(i have problems with that one it should not be on a box of cigerets)

 

[Angel]

I admit it. I ripped off the patch and I am smoking again.

I have cut down though. A pack has been lasting me a week.

The Patch was helping ALOT with withdrawl and I think I will do it again, only this time I'll be a little bit more prepared. I'm going to wait until after the stress of the holidays and the family New Years parties.

There will be a whole hell of alot less triggers after new years.

 

[celiaKitten]

Yes, I remember - you put this in my other smoking thread ..

and I can't ignore the damned french .. It really makes me feel all itchy and pissed off...

actually .. makes me want to strip and go running down Westnedge ...







What?

 

[Angel]

a miscarage(i have problems with that one it should not be on a box of cigerets)

I have a problem with that too. A VERY big problem with that. What the fuck are they thinking? What if someone miscarried due to something else and is made to see that whenever they see a pack of smokes? WTF?

 

[celiaKitten]

I have a huge problem with that. I had a miscarriage my second month of college. I still have problems as certain things remind me .. why the hell would they put something of such a painful nature, that could have so many other causes??

Mine: I fell off my loft ladder. I didn't know, nor was I planning on having a child, but it was one of the most painful things I've ever gone through.

That just sucks!

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

government does it.. you know how fucking stupid they can be.

Children mean the world to me I don't care if they are related to me or even if i know them.
So that one just bugs me.... I've not seen those packages around in quite awhile though so i'm hopeing they finnaly came to their sences and removed the fucking thing

A LITTLE HELP QUITING

You can buy Nicorette gum and patches at E-bay for 50-70% off store prices. Zyban may also help to take the edge off.

 

[freakygirl]

*runs out of the thread and grabs her purse* Shit.. would have been a long night....

LMFAO!

 

[Jack Steed]

Isn't the smoke-out in November?

Fuck if I didn't miss it again. Just have to tough it out another year, I guess.

 

[christophe]

Quitting smoking is simple, I do it every night before bed. Unfortunately i start again in the morning!

 

[MidnightAngel]

NO NO NO!

*Hiding pack of Marlboro Mediums behind back*

Take the car, the house, the kid, the man......Just DON'T take my cigarettes!
