keep on truckin'

smoking is hella stupid. one of the only things i believe
in.

you'll smell better, you'll stuff will smell better, you'll
have more money in your pocket, you won't be perpetuating a
weird custom to look cool.

i'm totally addicting to jackin' off and i once went over 30
days without that!

i've been using nicotine patches for about 2 months now and
they work great

only 2 or 3 slip ups, but not at all bad considering how
many i used to smoke.

Good luck, I don't think I know anyone that's quit.
Supposedly my grandparents both did back in the 60s. But
maybe cigarettes are too experienced and good at their job
now.

i am proud to say that I am at the point where I can just
have one here and there, or start one, put it out and save
the rest.

Some people say they couldn't do that but it comes natural
to me now. More than half a cig and I'm sick of it.

Nothing different.

They're both mainly psychological and social addictions
caused more by a mind set than by any sort of physical
reaction, and as such, they're both life-long addictions;
the sudden appearance of a new "opportunity" will
re-actualise the urge (if even only in the form of a
question) and every urge will need to be met with the same
resolve as the original resolve.

Settling in with being a "non-smoker" could lead to either
complacency or denial, none of which are a good position for
once again facing a new opportunity.

Choose now to quit smoking, but keep in mind that the choice
you make now will have to be made and made again every time
you face any opportunity to start smoking again; you are a
smoker, and you will always be one, but you can be a
non-smoking one.

I also support the "it's easy to quit" notion; Every single
person I've talked to who smoked "back in the days" (before
they "knew" smoking was "addictive" quit smoking with the
greatest ease (we're talking over night here, and not only
one or two people).

It's not because they had more willpower back in the days,
but rather because their "addiction" hadn't yet been
reinforced by social and "knowledge"-based views on it; they
hadn't been told it was addictive.

"Addiction" is a powerful responsibility-waiving device.

if it makes you feel any better, after my grandpa had a
heart attack many years ago the doctor told him if he didnt
quit it was likely to happen again and he may die from it.
He quit cold turkey and never started again. His son (my
uncle) died before he did, and he was always a smoker. Smoke
the good stuff, it has been proven it cant kill you.

"Smoke

where did you hear this?

bob marley died from lung cancer so i assumed not.

the good side about green smoke is that you dont need so
much !! you don't need 40 a day ..if your good you could
have a few pure spiffs and just damage your cardio vascular
system and alter your mind in loving way of course :P .

or vaporise it. less damaging.

I need to get a vaporizer. I smoke about every day and
sometimes I feel that hot burn in my chest in the morning.
The combination of smoke inhalation with increased heart
rate and blood pressure fluctuation along with any added
anxiety can't be good for your ticker either. That is why
one or two rips does me right anymore if I try to blaze it I
usually end up feeling uncomfortable.

right so i got drunk today and spent my time with a smoker
who i always smoke constantly with and still i didn't give
in to the desire. i'm so impressed with myself right now. i
actually can't believe i've managed to resist whilst being
pissed. fuck i fancy this girl so much though. being so
close to her and drunk as well and just having to leave her
for her to then go off to her boyfriend. damn, there was
much closeness and hotness. the lusty smell and the heart
racing and syncing, feeling one another, only to say goodbye
and sink back down. still though, no cigarette for me

it was anything to do with smoking he was way to young.

Don't bullshit around. Just quit burning the tar, nicotine,
chocolate, onions and what not. It'll save 20 years of your
life if you quit before 36.

i quit my pack a day habit cold turkey five years ago. took
me many failed attempts, but finally....

every time i had a craving i would tell my self that i could
have a smoke in ten minutes, just not right now, and then
ten minutes later i'd tell myself the same thing.

quitting was the hardest and most rewarding thing i've ever
done, but it's not like it's over. if i smoked one cig it
would be back to square one and i know it. i'm still
addicted, i just don't smoke.

I bought a vaporizer 4 months ago and it has saved me
sooo much money from all the bud I conserve. It easily paid
for itself by now, doesnt smell so I dont worry about pesky
neighbors, and its way smooth on the lungs. I highly
recommend them to any smoking enthusiast.

And yes Bob Marley died from a cancer in his toe that spread
throughout his body, he refused medical treatment for it
because of rastafari beliefs.

If you still dont believe me LAZY_TITLE

i really dont think i could quit smoking while i have a job

right now i work in a mall designed for rich women selling
this ridiculously expensive chocolate (one of the easter
truffles we have now is 3 dollars a piece.)

also basically the other people in the mall are stupid and
they all come to our store

i need at least 4 smoke breaks a day from that shit

i think mr. razor might have had a relapse? dont worry razor
you pushed your body and you gained some steps toward
freedom ,health and longevity.

you keep doing what you did you'll be free soon enough ,

practice practice go for as long as you can without a smoke
we all felt your positive energy thanks for the buzz.

i nearly had a heart attack after the first length of the
pool when i gave up .

i held onto the side of the pool hoping my heart wouldn't
explode

but a week or so later i got better. ive always been able to
cycle for miles but swimming is somthing diffrent and the
tar build up was obvious to me.

i kinda want a spliff tonite but if i do id destroy all my
hard work. just takes one drag to f*k up all the little
nerves ive re grown ..maybe a vaporisor or id eat some
weed. :P

lol mate, yesterday i felt my legs boling under the water
and when i came out the pool i nearly fall on the ground and
throw up under the shower. when i back there the first time
i took my old cap, that ripped itself to pieces when i tried
to wear it. even the children were laughing at me, so the..
lifeguard (i dunno how to say it in english) lended me a
pink one. there was some kind of divine punishment for me
that day, but that couldn't stop me smoking weed, or good
hash.. not now. what the hell is a vaporisor?

I recommend going on vacation for 2 weeks. Maybe move in
with your parents. Somewhere to get away from stress, fellow
smokers etc...Its much easier that way. Surf the waves of
cravings get.. through them and after 2 weeks you are
unhooked. You never really want them again.

i quit this time last year, since then i have not smoked a
single ciggarette, however I have smoked a pipe with weed at
festivals and also cigars on special occasions. i found the
first 3 days were torture, but enjoyable in a sick kind of
way because i thought of it like a scientific experiment and
kept a diary of my findings.

larn yeah the first few days are quite enjoyable in a
strange way.

mohamed yeah.thats them....what you want from a spiff if the
THC right! the bit that gets you high...thats in the
weed...if you heat the weed up the THC evaporates up and you
breath that in ..not loads of casonagens (cant spell) paper
tobaco burnt weed tar . and 1000s of chemical shit etc
.....

with proper weed you get very high indeed off these things
one drag you go bye bye!! haha

unless your amune then you need more.
hey its not like smoking a spiff ..its not so destructive.
