Smoking

[twenty47]

I just want to know how many of yous are smokers. (and I want to brag a bit I guess).

I was a smoker, at least a pack a day, maybe 2 packs if i'm drinking. I smoked for 20 years at this pace i guess, and now since Jan 1st, I just quit. I'm not taking anything or sneaking (LOL)... it's day 14 and I'm soooo surprised I've made it this far.... especially since I'm around smoking all the time still and play online poker (that's prob when i get the most cravings)

and if you were a smoker and quit, how'd you do it?

[eejit101]

I smoke, and normally poker is good as i cant smoke where i play in my bedroom, so i have to unplug the laptop and walk downstairs. But yeah smoking sucks.

[liljp000]

well i dont smoke...

[NeverWinHere]

I smoke started when i was 12, but I promised my daughter I would quit before her birthday which is on the 29th! Wish me luck.

I also picked up the nasty habit at around 12 and tried to quit a few times, but I find it to be very hard to do so. I'm 27 now and have 2 little girls that I want to watch grow up. If you can quit by the 29th tell me how you did it. Good luck and I hope you do drop this bad habit.

Proud to admit this is the ONLY bad habit I never aquired! I have all the rest ALL of them...

[USCTrojans]

[allinking17]

I dont smoke and i am proud i have stayed out of it

[herlis]

yes i still smoke and maybe i will stop smoking in the future.

[Arach1]

I smoke a lot too.I hope I'll stop that a day.And I drink a lot but I don't want to stop that

[USCTrojans]

If I am busy I even forget about smoking, this is why I think I can let it go if I wanted to, but as of now, LOL, i dont want LOL

Yeah for sure will def keep an update, I am stressing as it gets closer though!

All I know is I need to stock up on lots and lots of toothpicks and gum!

I don't smoke a lot, when I am at home maybe 4 a day , if out maybe half a pack, but it is those key moments when I do smoke that I will have the toughest time with, like when I get up, with coffee, after eating, before bed etc.

[USCTrojans]

Wow, at 12, you were very young tookaotik

I started when I was 22, so only 6 years and not even 1/4 of a pack a day

[twenty47]

ty for all the well wishes, day 15 for me.... just one piece of advise for the smokers trying to quit, don't do the gum.... it's an aquired taste and i just can't get used to that, ewwww, it's awful!

The patches seem to be good right?

How about that new pill?

[twenty47]

I've never tried any other Quit Smoking Product.... so i don't know about em' I do know some people who are on the patch, but they're still smoking?

With this time around, I quit cold turkey..... How I'm doing it? I dunno, I guess it's just time and my body is agreeing..... I did the gum last year or something when I tried to quit, and it was soooo disgusting I thought smoking would be better.... so i didn't quit smoking at that attempt. (day 16 for me, YIPPEE)

I have heard this pill, CHAMPIX from the Viagra makers, Pfizer, gets you to quit easy

[NeverWinHere]

Quitting smoking IS NOT EASY, no matter how many gimmicks they put on the market to help. Just buy some toothpicks, and regular gum, and keep your mouth busy, and tough it out!

I have it, it's called Chantix. It works by taking the disirable flavor out of cigarettes by releasing the same chemicals in your brain. When you smoke a cigarette, it doesn't have the same taste and you don't get the same high from it. I am saving them because I need to take breaks while playing poker and it helps with the process. Otherwise I would play for 8 hours straight, could go on tilt, and loose my roll. However, that's a good start. Word of advice for quiting anything. The more you think about it (AA, NA) the worse it becomes of a problem. Just don't think about it until it arrises and choose not to.
