Do You Smoke?

Re: Do You Smoke?

^3 posts in a row, that was a bona fide post!

One of my good friends picked the habit back up... he was very outspoken against smoking so for him to be smoking again came as a total shock when I visited him in Venice Beach recently. he only smokes "American Spirits" which I think are like $9 a pack. Fortunately he hasn't smoked since Jan 1. I sent him these ads, hope he can stay off them.

Champix work

they are fantastic.... been off cigs now for 2 weeks using champix, i knew they were good when i went from 20 a day to 5 then i just stopped... didn't even crave a smoke but you're right about the dreams

Re: Do You Smoke?

I smoked since I was 17 years old (I know I was a late bloomerj, most of my friends had started when they were ages 10-13). I would smoke half a pack a day until the past few years where I smoked a pack a day. I just recently stopped with the help of chantix (man does that pill really help with the cravings). It has been 5 weeks today. I've tried several times before and failed miserably each time.

Hopefully it was be the last attempt we all have to make. Quitting cigarettes is one of the hardest things ever.

Ya, a drink or 2 usually is what makes ppl relapse.

yea that's what happened in jan/feb... i was out with a m8 on friday night and having a few drinks and the longer the night went on the more drawn to having a smoke i was so its probably wise to stay it for a while till i,m 100% craving free

Tried many times before (about 10/12 years ago) - Alan Carr's book really made the difference about 8 years ago


Having said all of that, I have been known to smoke a Montecristo at weddings (usually with a Chivas Regal in the other hand )

Re: Do You Smoke?

I smoked for 13 yrs. I usually smoked anywhere from pack and half to 2 packs a day depending on the situation. Nights clubbing sometimes it would be almost 3 packs. Then just after christmas 2007 I suffered from a collapsed lung and had to be rushed to the hospital where I had to say for 4 days to get all the fluid out of my lungs. Every since this happened I have not smoked since. I think if I did not go through this though I would probably still smoke.

Drinks at night


Good combination for a good cigarette.

Re: Do You Smoke?

I probably already mentioned this, but I smoked 1 in the morning, lunch time and before bed for probably 6 months before quitting. That scheduled system worked for me... then went to just 1 at the end of the day.. You've gotta really want to quit though, because it's fucking rough.
