I recently did.. it's been over a week and I havent thought about it once..
every now and then when I start smoking way too much I'll just stop for as long as I want.. and pick it back up again whenever.. I have complete control over it

quite smoking is pretty hard. I know i feel much better when i don't smoke, but still every know and than i'll light up another cigarette.
Haven´t smoked in a while tho...i´m working out and stuff and trying to work on my fhysical condition, makes it easier for me to leave the cigs alone.
making any sense here...guess not...oh well

yes it is Bono..it's him receiving the MusiCares person of the year award awardfrom[/or just being congratulated by] Bill Clinton..
did you ever answer my question about being boriqua? ;)
HeWhoCannot.. you're making perfect sense.. when I smoked the most, I would still workout (though not nearly as much as I should/used to) and immediately after working out the last thing I wanted to think about (but I still did) was a cigarette.. yet hours later I would still smoke.. just cause they were there.. that's when I know I need to stop smoking for awhile, when I smoke every chance I can get, just because I can

if u can quit for aweek and then change your habits and avoid things that are asociated with smoking for a while after a month or so you should be good. thats what i did, every now and then i will have a ciggerrette but as long as u dont smoke a whole pack and get in the habit of smoking you wont get cravings

That was cruel Tone.
If you're quitting and you fancy a smoke make a nice strong coffee and have that as an alternative. Drink more water too rather then cola and such as water will repair the damage and wash the nicotine out of your system faster.

He he he, I take it you just take your weed in an atomiser and in food then?
Bill:
No, they really do live longer on average. Can't remember the exact figure but it's in the region of 3-5 years more...
Smoking does help the NHS more than it detracts, I'll admit that. Obesity also helps it- the VAT on confectionary more than pays for the cost of treating it.

Smoking was recently banned in my workplace because of this new ficticious disease passive smoking. Now I'm forced to stand outside in the howling wind and the pouring rain with all my anti-smoking colleagues staring out the window, pointing at me and laughing. I'd give up if I didn't think I'd turn into one of them.

I hate that. We have to go outside to smoke too ! The worst thing is, we only get 10mins for break and we sit right at the back of the building. It takes us 5 mins to walk to the "smoking area" aka bus shelter type contraption.

Smokers SHOULD be outside workplaces. When I walk past the smoking room here the smell makes my stomach churn. When I see smokers in the corridor now I spit on them.
I must say I welcome the Welsh Assembly's endorsment of a total ban on smoking in public places in Wales. About time.

Cannabis is a hell of a lot better then cigs, Cigs have all kinds of chemicals in to keep them burning and to give you the strongest hit of nicotine. If I could get skunk I'd stick with that but I can only get tac and even that is hard to come by of late. :/

I quit smoking on new years after smoking since I was 13... it really wasn't that hard, I said I was going to quit on new years, and when the clock struck midnight, I put out my cigarette and just fucking did it! Although I still occasionally have a smoke when I'm drunk, but thats ok man!

"Obnoxious , self-righteous, whining little fucks. My biggest fear is that if I quit smoking, I'll become one of you...Don't take that wrong. I have something to tell you non-smokers that I know for a fact that you don't know, and I feel it's my duty to pass on information at all times. Ready?.......Non-smokers die every day...Enjoy your evening. See, I know that you entertain this eternal life fantasy because you've chosen not to smoke, but let me be the 1st to POP that fucking bubble and bring you hurtling back to reality....You're dead too."
