I smoke, not terribly much, but about 2-3 packs a week. Kevin hates it, I had to promise I'd quit after I finish college.

Sorry Steel, but I'm with everyone else. The comment "I just started today" sounds idiotic, you have to stop now while it's easy. I have no problem with the niccotine, it's the oral fixation for me. I've been smoking since I was 13 and it's freaking expensive as hell. Where I am, they run $3.22 which doesn't sound bad, but I get them at the pervert gas station and I get what we call "the two titty discount" because the guy stares (no matter if I'm wearing a winter jacket) and always says "You deserve a discount" Whatever... I'm not flashing him, I don't care. But keep in mind, 7 years ago, cigarettes were only $2 a pack, when they went up to $2.10 I quit for 6 months in protest of the cost. They're only going to get higher and higher, and there are already places that will not hire you if you have niccotine in your blood system and other places that you cannot smoke on their property without losing your job.
 
Quit smokes on March 14, 2002...

I don't have any desires to have cig again and It is sick! nasty! No good! cough so much like you can't stop it, FINALLY I quit! and Very relief that I finally quit with no help, no patch, no pills etc MY bro in law's girlfriend quit 14 days smoking today. My family's friend Norman just got wellbutrin SR so he can try quit smoking.
They don't want to smoke Norman's exactly words are " I am sick of coughing all the time Im tired of it I want to quit"

Wendy ;)
 
I only smoke for socially time.

sometime, it's necessary for me smoking, but not that too often.

Why... my grandma smoked since she was around 15 yrs old. Until she died few years ago at only age 82.

If I'm having child, I will quit in no time. I want to show as good role of father.

Why don't you try to reduce instead suddenly quit?

For example, start smoke probably 5 cigrette per day for week, then next week, reduce to 4, next week - reduce to 3 until 6th week, doing the bi-day for once smoking then slow and slow, you will doing fine.

Nervous or tenison? try and enjoy eat something sweet fruit or any food you love to eat. But I can't promise, it work.

illustrator -- ive attempted that -- it only made me eat WAYYYYYYY too much and gaining too much weight is NOT what i would want to do :| ive heard of that quit smoking Rx thingie -- forgot name of it -- i dont know if anyone has tried those Rx thingie and if it was helpful -- my parents are/were smokers (dad has since passed on and its just mom now) and they have tried using the patch thingie and they ended up with rash (ive not attempted those due to their getting rashes) and have tried those nicotine gum and they said it tasted like shit LOL
 
Well, as far as you know, i was under a great deal of stress, so lots of ppl say that smoking just makes you relaxed once in awhile and then you get attrached to it, but hey, it's not like i'm going to get an instant death. I just need something to make me relaxed, get my mind off stressful things, and just enjoy the days of my life and so on...I have inhaled a crigarette when i was around 6 or 8 yrs old, but not much so I inhaled some more when i was 16 and yes, i have coughed, but I'm just learning. Relax, i just don't think i can smoke THAT much right now but perhas i might in the future but who knows? My mom will absloutely throw a fit if she ever found out that i smoked so i'm trying my best to keep it secret, because that I have asthma, and she's really strict about my health. But c'mon, "smoking is bad for your health" only is that you been smoking too long and so much that you just get a lesser time in your life. I perfer to smoke when I feel stress, you know? Anyway, just CHILL! I'm not smoking any right now but proably will when I see my smoking friends again lol he just bought 2 cameral brand packs last night and so you say they are expenisve eh? well everything are getting expenisve in the days, you know

Actually, the opposite is true. Niccotine is a stimulant. You want to destress, alcohol is a depressant. People just use the excuse of relaxing. Believe me, I know. And if you don't, you can look it up. It's a dumb habit to start. I quit for 2 years when I lived in wisconsin, and when people that smoked would be near me I could smell them from 20 feet away, even if they weren't smoking at the time. It's just not worth it.
 
I don't smoke, I used to once a while not often and I don't smoke now.. not crazy over it. My hubby smokes, but he doesn't smoke where there are people around and smokes outside because of the kids.
 
<--smoke too much that wife banned the ciggies from the house plus my Sable.

2 jobs create too much stress that I reach for a ciggie when needed. Only place I can relax with a ciggie is the Escort *augh*

Trying to cut down on the ciggies before me daughter gets born but who knows?
 
:eek: @ Steel... I don't think u should start smoking those ciggys.

I am smoker and I ve been smoking on/off since 13 yrs old till 17 yrs old I started smoke everyday for 6 years now. Believe me it's very HARD to quit.
 
My mom is just rarely to smoke. but yes, my mom is trying to quit.

My dad is a heavy smoker. never thought to quit. i have no idea. I never had a talk with him about smoke issues.
 
I never smoke.

I used to dip some..but I just quit that...

I do face stress most of the times and I'm glad I haven't resorted to smoking or drinking as an option to relax. :p
