Tobacco

[Betticus]

I'm watching "Modern Marvels" special on tobacco.

It's fascinating. One in five deaths in the U.S. is tobacco related. Only fifty percent of a cigarette is made up of whole tobacco, the rest is recycled returned tobacco and other stuff

Light cigarettes are worse for your health than the strong ones too. That shocked me when I first heard it. If I smoke anything out here now I pinch one of my friend's Gauloises.

Filtered cigarettes have asbestos in the filter part, so every time you take a drag, you inhale microscopic pieces of asbestos. I'm of the opinion that people who smoke are big boys and girls, and know the risks, so I see no reason to nag anyone to quit or lecture; however, I do hope people who smoke, smoke unfiltered cgarettes (and the fewer the better) to avoid the asbestos issue.

Now, unfortunately, I live forty miles from Mexico and can't get Cuban cigars!

Well, I could but I have to go to Mexico and smoke it there. I can get some really stunning Tequila though.

I might have to start a hostage exchange program with you Europeans. I can ship over weird Tequila and you guys can send me Swiss chocolate!

On that note... I am going to have a cigarette

it was one certain type of cigarette that had this in the filter..and they have since changed that....another brand of cigarette also had fiberglass in the filter, again they have since changed it. either way you look at it, smoking is bad for you...and i wish i had never started. i do agree, those who smoke, for the most part are adults, and we know the risks we are taking.

This is why I am so very grateful my Sir demanded that I quit smoking. 23 years of poisoning myself and those around me is something I will forever be ashamed of.

 

[Betticus]

I finally realized last night that I'm over the craving for a damn smoke. That only took a month. Now I just have to never pick up the stinky things again!

 

[Evil_Geoff]

Excellent, Bett! Keep up the good work!

You too, pita! janey was a smoker before we got together, and I was okay with that (My parents were smokers, I've had relationships with smokers before, I'm used to second hand...). About two weeks into the relationship, before I collared her, she came in from burning one and said "Sir, that was my last cigarette."

Not catching her meaning I told her it was okay to go get some more. She said "No Sir, I've quit. Because you don't smoke..."

I never asked her to, and I've never been prouder of her than at that moment. I expect that will change soon when I actually propose to her in front of her family on Christmas Eve... *grin* Or when we walk down the aisle...

When I first quit, it took me a week before I stopped craving them. I went 7 months and out of nowhere the craving just hit me and I couldn't stop thinking about having one until I finally caved. It was harder the second time around, but after 3 weeks I was able to stop again.

I wish you luck!

Out of all the bad habits I've had it's the only one that I just havn't been able to kick.

 

[WriterDom]

I quit when I was 20. 217,000 cigarettes at least that I would have smoked by now. I can remember buying them for 47 cents a pack at the drug store.

I know how hard it is to quit. But the idea of breathing smoke into your lungs that often is just moronic if you stop to think about it.

I think they'll be a special spot in hell for all the tobacco exectives

Great now I can have that Cuban cigar I been saving

Congratulations Betticus!!!



Quite cold turkey, 18 years ago because my SO at the time was developing a smoker's cough, so I know how hard that first month is - you will still probably have cravings from time to time, as well as stressful periods when you might be tempted again, but it continues to get easier from here. It really gets fun when people who've never known you as a smoker comment that they can't imagine you ever being one!

P.S., A big HI FIVE also to Pita, and EG's Janey!

Yeah, it's insane that we allow this and yet marijuana is a controlled substance. If they would sell unfiltered cigarettes without nicotine in them then I'd be fine with that. I think it would be morally equivalent to alcohol. But the availability and use of cigarettes in thier current form is a combination of negligence, ignorance and cruelty.

And apathy, but there's no letter A in nicotine.

Go Ine_iii, Go! Go Ine_iii Go! Go Ine_iii, Go! ​

So much for my new year's resolution (does anyone ever actually achieve those things???) ...however...

My disease + the new tax on smokes in TX is pushing me pretty hard.

Can't smoke anywhere indoors in El Paso!

I did last year. I wanted to lose 5 kg, lost 6. I guess I have to thank circumstances though, it was not done by willpower or anything that I could have influenced.


As to smoking. I've never smoked. But I think I have a small cigarette fetish. I'm pretty certain that would I try I'd be hooked in no time, and if my partner smoked I would pretty soon try one. I found the after-sex smokes quite hot, and every time he reached over me to the ash-tray I thought about being burned with it... And I always thought that kissing someone who just had a smoke would be gross. I was wrong.

Now, I'm cleaning my apartment. The last renter was a heavy smoker, and didn't clean at all. The window frames were dirtier from the inside than the outside They were greenish brownish black, now they are yellowish white. Honestly I should have sold the cleaning to a smoker desperate to quit.

Interesting. There is a neat hookah lounge that opened recently just down the street. They use only tobacco imported from Saudi Arabia and this really neat charcoal from Japan. I tried them out and it was fun.

Now, unfortunately, I live forty miles from Mexico and can't get Cuban cigars!

Well, I could but I have to go to Mexico and smoke it there. I can get some really stunning Tequila though.

I might have to start a hostage exchange program with you Europeans. I can ship over weird Tequila and you guys can send me Swiss chocolate!

I want the Tequila. I'm not sure I'd manage to send any chocolate though...
