Why would she do that? She's never tried it before. Ever. Anywhere.

I dreamt I was a butterfly, smoking a marlboro light(out of the box of course.)

I quit in 2002. Had a pack in July 2005 when I arrived in Scotland to view/bring my mom's body back to California (also drank a couple of bottles of
Absolut with some help). I blamed how sick I felt the next day on the cigarettes so I've not yet quit the Absolut.

My parents were chain smokers. I remember my mother was really po'd when my dad quit smoking. Of course she ended up with emphysema, breast cancer, macular
degeneration and died earlier than any of the other women in my family. There was a blessing with that though, she didn't get alzheimers.
My sister and I used to worry 'cause she'd smoked while hooked up to her oxygen tank - we were afraid she'd blow herself up. |

I don't want to talk about it. Let's just say today is day one all over again.

I quit smoking last July. I was a hardcore smoker, nothing stopped me so I surprised myself by quitting so abruptly, yet easily (I read the easyway to quit
and apparently brainwashed myself). I still miss it and I always figure if I were diagnosed with something incurable (yet unrelated), or heard earth was going
to be hit by an asteriod I would prolly start smoking again.

True. I think realizing this is key to quitting successfully. One year and 22 days for me and I hope I never have to go through the quitting process again.
Congrats Bernie and ReRe!

I smoked for about 15 years. Quit for almost 7, spent a good 6 months or so smoking last year...a few here and there for a month or so then back up to about
10-15 a day. My husband started again too and he HAS NOT QUIT yet. grrrrrrrr. I am on week two of the patch AGAIN. I have a conference in March where I will
probably smoke again. But when I come back I am going to try and get knocked up with number two so if that takes that's a guaranteed year of no smoking
which I hope sticks. I was such a dumbass to start again. It is like being an alcoholic, you can't have just one.

It's been 89 days since I quit. It still sucks. But I feel SO much better, I can exercise longer, and I haven't had a bad sinus cold this winter, all
of which I contribute to not smoking anymore.
But I still want one every now and then. |

If the Indians had only smoked their peace pipes every 20 minutes of every day of their lives, the message about how harmful smoking could be would have been
out much sooner. More importantly, there would have been no white deaths attributed to smoking.

My grandfather smoked about 6 cigs a day, for 60years, and never had any problems with it. Moderation is the Key. This statement is completely stupid for two reasons: 1) Your grandfather is not the representative for ALL people. Nevermind the countless number of research studies and statistics stating otherwise, your grand-daddy did okay so that's it. Debate over. *rolls eyes* 2) How the fuck you do moderate an extreme addicting drug? And smoking six times a day is NOT moderation. It's an addiction. Your grandfather just got lucky. LUCKY. It is NOT the norm. Man, I'm pissed now. Stupid statements make me angry. I need a cig. |

Smoked for 14 yrs, 2 packs a day. Quit cold turkey but named the date ahead of time by about a year, and then continued to smoke like a fiend until then.
After quitting, gained 20 lbs and broke a tooth from chewing gum. Still miss the cigs, but still smoke-free a year and a half later, and the way the prices
keep going up, don't think I'll go back.
I have smoked one cigar since then, though, but it made me queasy. |

The Easy Way to Quit smoking...a simple book, not that long, you just read it (I did while I was outside smoking). Its not scare tactics, its just the authors
way of putting it that makes sense. I am seriously at a loss to explain how or why this worked for me. I figure I smoked from the day I was born (parents
both smoked like chimneys, in the house - both died in their early 60s - not of cancer). I took up smoking 1st hand at 15 years old. I was a serious hard
core, out in the blizzard in my jammies kind of smoker. Read the book, kept smoking like it said to and at the end of the book, I had my last smoke. That was
in July like I said and I haven't smoked since. I have spent time with smokers and still no urge.
I do still miss the ritual of going outside after a nice dinner but its not a big deal. After this self brainwash I figured I could brainwash myself to believe the secret....ya, no on that one. The authors name is Allan Carr. Check it out, the book costs about the same as 2 packs of smokes so it was no big deal if it didn't work. He also sells over priced personal sessions and over priced lectures that travel from City to City. (That was the counter to the unpaid commercial I just did for the guy) |
