I Quit! (Smoking)

[peter123]

Thanks everyone Love your comments.

I haven't missed the ciggies on day one, in the past I've quit and gone back to them many times.
The E-Cigs I have are not the strong ones, I have a few of those if needed but went for the average strength .

I'm in no way ever going to be one of those awful moralists that condemns smoking, and the worst are those who have quit, it's a fantastic thing to do, it's peaceful, it's perfect for contemplative moods, and it's lovely as a social exercise

All things harm us, and I have no interest in living to 100 , but I hate paying so much tax on any product!!! )

You quit when you want to, not before, and not because anyone tells you ;)

That's it!!! :thumbs up:

Way to go, Xman101! I smoked for a few years in my early 20s, then quit. I did not have the long-term habituation that you apparently do, but it was not easy for me either.

Nevertheless, it may help to know that there are those of us around who have made it, and you can too!

When you're ready you can try again.

No you haven't failed, you've merely postponed success.
Everybody quits eventualy, one way or the other.

I've been trying so hard to quit. I mean, I don't even know why I smoke, it's not like I like it though. I gave up like a month ago cuz I was being supportive towards a friend who ended up disappointing me & lying about it when I knew the truth, he was smoking behind my back. So now I'm kinda like smoking again but not really into it anymore. I may give up for good, I just need some serious support team, I guess.

My partner tried & couldn't quit twice in the last few years. He says he just likes it too much, but don't forget that nicotine is one of the most addictive substances on earth.

On the other hand, my Mom quit on the spot after she was diagnosed with leukemia, which was NOT caused by smoking, and his Mom quit after having a heart attack. Sometimes it just takes a jolt like that.

I'm very sad when I hear the statistics on how teenage smoking is on the rise again. It seems we as a species are immune to learning from our past mistakes.

We need a new ad campaign.
"Suck the cock, not the cig".
It would have multiple benefits.

It's never too late to stop, my husband's mother was 72 years old before she gave up ciggies and she's still going strong at 87.
