Keep up the good work, girl! I'm proud of you for quitting. I'm non-smoker myself, but I always appluse those who are really serious about quitting smoking. Am always gonna root for ya! :)
 
Throw your rant out if your chest that will make you feel better once you clean out your body. It is really OKAY!!!
BE A COLD TURKEY

For myself, I am non-smoker, and I know what it is like.
 
I am a smoker and I am not happy with it. I tried to quit but HARD as hell. One time when I tried to quit, I spend WHOLE of my money as I can that I will not buy cigarettes, but guess what happened? I went to the store and get some of the cigarettes from the ash tray at the front doors of the store. Really sick uh?

my sister and my dad were heavy smokers for years... my dad had to quit over 15 yrs ago per doctors orders (he had polyps (sp?) removed! :ugh:)

my sister quit COLD TURKEY!!! (I MEAN SHE TRIED EVERYTHING ON THE MARKET AND EVEN HYPNOSIS (sp?) and nothing worked! LOL) then she met her bf who is now her hubby... he said IT IS EITHER THE CIGARETTES OR ME? (one of her best friends even told her off too!!!) so, SHE QUIT JUST LIKE THAT!!! it was one of the most difficult thing she had ever done.... but she said she is so glad and feels SO MUCH BETTER AND MORE HEALTHIER THAN EVER... it was 8 years in january! :thumb: she even smells better and has better coloring on her face/teeth!!!


so my advice is TO MEET A NON-SMOKER who will say the same thing too!!! :D hang in there girl!!! :D

i DETEST smokers!!! I CAN'T EVEN BE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH THEM... cuz i get asthma attacks! jeez... not worth my health... i am jsut so glad that they are working on banning smoking in restaurants, public places, etc.... too bad they have to go outside... i don't want to inhale the 2nd hand smoke and get asthma attacks.. no thanks! :ugh:
 
Well that's what I do sometimes, smoke outside and I don't mind at all, some smokers do have respects ya know...

many of them don't... i mean when they go outside... they don't go AWAY FROM THE DOOR (just stand at the door!???)/OR BUILDING because you can smell/inhale the smoke when you are at the door or walk through the doors... it is really annoying because people like us can't take the "smoke" or inhale the smoke... it is hazard to our health... so it is part of being inconsiderate of others... sorry to say this...
 
FC I can't speak for other smokers out there and I can not answer that either, I'm only speaking for myself here beside if the stores have signs that say do not smoke near the door, then the smokers should follow it, otherwise if there isn't one, then they have a right to smoke where ever they want...beside there are a lot of things that cause hazard to our health not just from smoking...



Sorry SpiceHD for going off the topic here...

yea but it is not fair for people like me to "gag" and gasp for air when we walk through the door... people should have common sense that other people are very sensitive to smoke... i am very sensitive to others/ health no matter what and try to be considerate... and i wish they would do the same too.. (sigh)
there were times when i asked someone to smoke the other way or leave the spot, etc... he/she would get pissed... it says it all about being inconsiderate...

smoking is forbidden in the subway/on the subway/train.. and i have seen people do it... i couldn't take their dirty smoke... that i had to get off... and wait for the next train! don't you think this is unfair as well?

it is like if someone was loud and annoying in a movie theater... would you ask them to kindly quiet down? or what? it is the same concept...

sorry for going offtopic here! :D :angel:
 
Interesting, Angel and FesityChick...

If people who are smokers coming to Washington or Califorina, they have the laws for Smokers.. Have to smoking in 25 feet away from the building, ANY of buildings... Plus, can't smoke in the apts or condos or any of buildings but only houses that allow smoking, that's it. I like that law because it's more safe and respect people's wishes...

ME TOO!!! :thumb: the same thing applies in the states of ny, arizona and conn...and many more to come soon!!!
some places have bars with restaurants that allow smokes... so they working on it to "ban" smoking in them "altogether!" same thing goes for many hotels too!!! :D

they are working on it here in chicago! yayyy!!!

one time we went to a german restaurant... the bar (where the smokers were) was in the front of the building... we sat way in the back of the building... i was still "gagging" the smoke air... that we had to eat very fast to get out of there... that is how "thick" the smoke was.... ventilations in a lot of places are really bad! yikesss! i wonder how people "take" it... my mom and i are very sensitive to smoke... and so are my dad and my sister (isn't that irony as they were heavy smokers for years! LOL)
 
I know it is very hard to quitting smoking, my ex used to smoke she quit because I dont smoking.... smile.

You can do it!
 
14 months since quitted smoking ciggie.

Worst feeling for next three weeks after quitted smoking....almost forgot about cigge at all after 3 months.

Whatever feel litttle cravel - grab food or playing video game.

All we can do to keep busy with new hobbies or go out for walking.

Good luck!

Oh awesome! Same me, Smoking is so annoying for me.. I used to smoke but I quited cold turkey out of blue because of my ex. But I'm very glad that I did quit even my mom and I made the deal if I smoke or she smoke, either of us will start smoke. So we never smoke since for almost four years. Im so happy. All of my family aren't smoking but some of like... Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, even one of my sisters are smoking. :ugh:

Forgive me, Smokers :angel:

Once, when Sequoias and I went out at Resturant, I forgot where... I didn't think that Washington State banned smoking in the resturant, hotel, etc etc like that. I was liking, "Im deaf, so two persons and no smoking" and that woman spelled, "Here law banned smoking in here" and I was like :eek3: :Oops: then laugh, "Oh yeah!" then sat there and been :Oops: for awhile and Sequoias sort of laughed at me, what a brat! :pissed: at him for letting me being blush!!!! :rofl:
 
im curious... is it possible for animals to be addicted to smoke even though they dont smoke?

reason i m asking is cuz i noticed my cat is just as grumpy as i was for several days and i cant figure out why till just now .... he did inhale 2nd hand smoke for almost all of his short life... hmm makes me wonder... is he addicted to it too as well and is suffering withdrawals? or he just copy my moods? lol

sorry for offtopic but yet same time it IS related to my orginal topic lol.
 
Quit Club for the Deaf :)

I am embarassed to say how long I smoked, but I am proud to say I have quit cold turkey since 11/17/05.

How? By visiting the website called QuitNet.com. I met one of the members and he changed my life forever!!! I quit 2 days later. I couldnt believe it, but it did happen!!!

I still come back to that website from time to time to "maintain my quit." Usually 2 times per week. I even founded a Club, called Quit Club for the Deaf. There are 5 members for now. I would encourage you to join. There is a "chat" but we need to set up a time so that we can "chat." It is cool that we share 2 things - deaf and Quit to smoke.

There is another website, whyquit.com. It is a valuable lesson.

Sqrrl
 
All I can say is ... Hang In There! Quitting smoking will never be easy, but I'm sure you can do it. Try to eat sweets or mints instead and keep yourself busy.
 
Well, by my estimation, you have completed one full week as of now! Well done! It is just an urge, so keep fighting. In about one more week, you will hit another phase of the withdrawal, which is where your mind starts to come up with stupid reasoning to trick you into smoking. For me, I kept having this feeling I was going to balloon up in weight. If I start smoking, I will be able to lose the weight. Do not fall for this one. It is easier to lose weight by exercise than smoking. I did not worry about the weight gain, as it was a small gain, maybe 10 pounds. It took about one month to drop that and no looking back for me. Keep going!
