The Ku Klux Klan cigarettes? You fascist bastard. Half of
malboro's profits go straight into the KKK's back-pockets.
You are funding racism by buying marlboro. Get with the
program and get some B&H down your neck.

yes, but who smokes 3 joints EVERY DAY.. (me when the summer
park season is at hand. oops.) and still, one usually shares
the joints with others ;)

i actually didn't smoke so much when i smoked cigs, usually
one package lasted for days. i smoked pall mall menthol (but
not light menthol, euuurgh).

Yes, but if you share doobies you can catch AIDS from
others. Yuk!

When I smoked, I smoked Fortunas, Golden Virginia or Lambert
& Butler (the cigarette for the more discerning gentleman).

I dont know if we get B&H over here. I will see though.

I wouldn't want to support evil organizations and fascist
corporate, but if they are not as strong as Red's I wont
switch brands. See the thing is I really don't give a fuck
either way, and if I did I wouldn't have started smoking in
the first place. I bet ceo's of H&R are the saints of the
tobacco industry, otherwise you wouldn't have suggested I
buy their cancerous product.

Where the fuck have you been?! I got some CDs here that have
been waiting for you for weeks.

And yeah, I quit a week a go today. It feels good, knowing I
have the willpower.

I also enjoy Parlimets, Nat Sherman, Dunhill, Marlboro
Menthol, and Newport.
but I cant stop there. I also like to dip Kodiak and
Copenhagen.
Cigars? Oh yes. Macanudo, H. Uppman, and Cohiba all
corona.(when I can) ;)

But back on topic: quit since wednesday eh?

the behaviour with anything?

I went on nicotine patches for 5 days but gave them up
before the end of the two week course. So now I'm flying
solo.

That sounds relatively hassle free. [how many packs were you
on/day]

You must earn about twice the am/ount you did before you
quit or something?

I smoked 15 to 15 a day, then cut down to about 5-10 a few
months ago.

But I smoked cheap cigarettes/tobacco from Spain so the
bonus a recent quitter gets of a fatter wallet is not one I
am enjoying. But I am richer in terms of my health eh?

How severe were your withdrawl symptoms?

You couldn't really call yourself a smoker with stats like
that .. richer in health i guess tho eh.

None really as I used nicotine patches. But I did come down
with a cold and they say you are more susceptible after
giving up.

I had a major operation on my head (to remove a tumour... ).
Up to that point I had smoked between 15 and 40 cigs a day
for 8 years. After the Op I stopped smoking cigarettes
completely (although I did cain the weed!). What was really
strange was that my need for cigarettes completely and
utterly dissappeared, I could even conceive of putting a
filter to my lips... it seemed alien to me.

Unfortunately, about 15 months later I was seeing the
monster that is my Avatar (shes actually pretty fit) who
smoked around 40 a day, and she started to really stress me
out, so I took up the habit once more!

I just need another tumour, and I'll be sorted again!

who is "-That Guy on the Piano."

sounds like he has a typical smokers attitude. but i'm not
concerned with the health aspect, i'm against smokers
inflicting the intrusive and overpowering smell of smoke on
everyone.

it's like someone walking into a room full of people and
just farting everywhere. relentlessly. just bloody
offensive.

i smoke camel lights, about 20-30 a day...my habit increases
and decreases, though i've yet to find a pattern. i used to
smoke about 40 or 50 a day, but now some days i smoke no
more than 8 or so.
smoking sucks, i really want to quit, but at the same time i
don't want to bad enough. i want to be a better breather,
and a more physical person altogether, really. i should
stop. did once for about two weeks...

i think it's because i thoroughly enjoy the ACT of smoking,
but don't like the effects (coughing, trouble breathing or
doing physical things, smelling like a ciggy when i hold my
nephew)

I also do not have the willpower to quit yet...I have smoked
for almost 8 years...

I wanna quit too, its just a matter of being READY...Plus
smokes are getting WAY TOO expensive here in California
