smokers?

Post Reply New Topic

curious how many people here smoke. I am trying to quit. right now I am going to buy some more though...

I've been smoking since I was 14, that's...damn, that's 9 years now.

I was a heavy two pack a day smoker for almost thirty years then I gave them up eight and a half years ago.

Smokers are evil and deserve a horrible death...

...so say the righteous.

Or something.

I used to smoke about 3 packs a day . I've gradually cut down to less than a pack. I quit once cold turkey for 5 years but had the urge for one once when I was drinking.

Nope, I'm definitely not a smoker but tend not to think about it... once you start smoking, its going to be a huge struggle for some people to eventually quit smoking...

I keep getting blocked from posting this, because I have been mentioning a drug by its trade name. The server thinks it's spam. So I'll have to get around it by stealth.

I have been smoking since 1972, except for one brief period when I quit cold turkey. The withdrawal symptoms were the most sick I have ever been. I regret the day that I took that next drag and got hooked all over again, because I am terrified of getting that sick again.

However, with my recent evaluation where it was confirmed that I have Asperger's, it was shown that I also have chronic, ongoing depression. One of the medical treatments for depression has three syllables, Well, and bu, and trin. That drug is also marketed as a smoking cessation tool under the name of Zy and ban. So I'm hoping that I can get a prescription for it, and fix two problems at the same time.

If anyone reading this thread has quit smoking using that type of medicine, would you please say how it was for you? Thanks.

I quit for a while. Then started again. I love smoking.

smoking is like my 'okay' addiction that I can do and I am on it again. I need to quit again, though. I've been at it since July. Misery loves company, I guess that's why I started this. It's weird because this time I can really feel my 'addiction' process...before the withdrawal felt physical but this time I have picked them up over and over again for emotional reasons.

I know someone who uses those "electronic cigarettes". You get the nicotine but not the tar or carbon monoxide. It blows out smoke and everything and the tip lights up but the smoke is just steam.

<--- have smoked since age 12-13

I useed to smoke, was trying to quit before I got pregnant, morning sickness helped me do that though.

Since new years Ive only smoked twice, i was previously in a 20 a day habit

As addictive as I am, I've never smoked.

Most of my family however does, so I don't know, I just always thought that was odd for me even when I tried to many a times.
