- wafflesomd, on 01/06/2009, -3/+13Pro Tip: Tobacco is addictive.
- borez, on 01/06/2009, -4/+14I like smoking, I always have and if I ever give up ( which I will do on day ) I'd like to do it because I want to and not because I'm forced to .
/bring on the haters - Gareth321, on 01/06/2009, -0/+9Sadly, this was why I started. The reason it was so hard to give up? It worked...
- lazybuoy, on 01/06/2009, -0/+7I've never been a smoker so I don't know how it is like to try to quit. I imagine it's kind of like trying to kick the porn habit. Except with porn the visual cues are all over the place; a little flash of butt is enough to want to fire up the computer for one more go.
- bbardlbradd, on 01/06/2009, -1/+8 I can't speak for everyone but I know that I have a problem (am addicted to nicotine), but I don't schedule a cigarette break *to* reinforce my habit. Once you start you get this feeling about you, like you have to pee, or like you are out of gas on a long road trip. It's like a little alarm that goes off in your head, and it's extremely annoying.
You schedule a cigarette to cope w/ that feeling. It's like "Ok alarm, I won't have one now, but I will once I complete this task, and the more you alert me, the longer it'll take."
Smoking is the ***** thing that I've ever picked up. It's not fun to do, it's not fun to live with, and it's especially not fun to quit. I've never in my life experienced this sort of addiction. I didn't even realize I had a problem when I was scrounging up change to get my own pack...
If you haven't started, don't ever even take a hit off of someone elses cig. Also, if you're a non-smoker, especially one who has never had a problem with them, you have no idea what you're talking about when you bitch about someone else's addiction.
Told from reality. - borez, on 01/06/2009, -2/+8As a smoker, I loved that article. People scream about cigarette smoke and now there saying it can effect you just by standing stood to a smoker, yet on the other hand they're happy enough to sit in a traffic jam twice a day every day, year after year.
It's a funny old world we live in. - immatellyouwhat, on 01/06/2009, -0/+6Look I hate smoking personally... BUT! It's your ***** right to smoke if you want to! This is America Gawdammit! Just be curtious when around people who don't like it because it is intrusive... move or ask them to move if it bothers them.
- TheScogg, on 01/06/2009, -1/+7I wish I could get grants for some of my "groundbreaking" discoveries...
People have known for ages that when you're trying to break an addiction, you stay away from others partaking in said addiction. Example - if you're an alcoholic, don't go to a kegger. Sure, you may pass 5 alcohol stores on the way home from work, but it won't affect you in the same way that seeing your friends drink right in front of you will. - radu79, on 01/06/2009, -1/+6Same here, but I don't think I'll ever quit. Winners never quit, you know? :)
But I do try my best not to smoke too much, usually I don't smoke more than 14 a day (and I used to smoke over one pack). I think moderation is better than just quitting. - borez, on 01/06/2009, -0/+5And we have our first digg down smoking hater.
OK: Stick you mouth around a cigarette, then do the same thing around a car exhaust. Now tell me oh enlightened one, which one will kill you faster? - Wilf55, on 01/06/2009, -0/+5I did it this way, stopped 'cold turkey' with no issues whatsoever. The whole physical addiction to nicotine thing is over within a a few days/week or so, and the rest is just mental.
- maz2331, on 01/06/2009, -1/+5Maybe most of us just don't want to quit. We kind of like it more than the thought of living until we're 90 and suffering from dementia. Now, please leave us the ***** alone already.
- celotil, on 01/06/2009, -0/+4Now prove whether or not you know that by stating whether or not you've ever had a cigarette.
If smoking didn't calm me down then I would have quit years ago. It would have been easy because I'd have been so appalled at the emotional monster I'd been while drunk and smoking that I'd have given it up shortly after my eighteenth birthday.
Actually, don't bother trying to prove you've ever smoked. I'd know you were full of *****. - borez, on 01/06/2009, -0/+4@dext3r is it...why? You're surrounded by thousands of cars aren't you. It's no more retarded than the women who made the point of coming over to scream at me about smoking being illegal even though I was on an open air train station platform in London, and was about 100ft away from anybody else.
I don't drive, I don't like the smell of car fumes, should I therefore lobby against cars being banned. No, because I respect other people that's why. - sodade, on 01/06/2009, -0/+4Hardest thing I have ever done in my life. Tobacco sucks.
- dlite922, on 01/06/2009, -0/+4ah ah AH!! Don't even start!
- weezcnr, on 01/06/2009, -0/+3Wow I definitely could have told you that with out doing any sort of experiment.
- mal1964, on 01/06/2009, -0/+3Why do you think the tobacco companies spent so much money on advertising over the years.
- bbardlbradd, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2I like to think of it like...
I don't like smoking, but I really don't like not smoking. That's addiction for you.
But yeah, stfu unless you're going to actually be supportive rather than criticizing. - evilregis, on 01/19/2009, -0/+2I just passed my 2 year mark on the 15th of January. Best and hardest thing I ever did. Getting past the nicotine addiction was WAY easier than getting past the habits formed around smoking. Therein lies the challenge. Pick up some hobbies!
- dlite922, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2so is porn!
- ethbone, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2I've tried to quit 5 times. Each time I never felt a physical craving for a cig, it would just happen. I would be with my friends and someone would light up and I would bum one, then two days latter there would be a pack in my pocket again. I'm trying a 6th time, gradually slowing down my smoking until I'm not at all. I like smoking, but I can see what it will do to me. I'm 24 and I all ready have a chronic cough!
- nigelmansell, on 01/06/2009, -1/+3so that they could give out third hand smoke
- salinungatha, on 01/06/2009, -1/+3'Easy Way to Stop Smoking' by Allan Carr is the way to go. I stopped after reading it, and bunch of people I gave the book to also did. Very popular in the UK.
You read the book, then you stop (enjoyably because you want to and without willpower). - celotil, on 01/06/2009, -4/+6I'm a smoker.
I smoke today because I smoked yesterday.
I smoked yesterday because I was an idiot teen who'd had his first job that
paid well and I didn't have to worry about borrowing money from someone else
to pay for my bad habits - the biggest at the time being cheap tastes in
copious quantities of alcohol.
I still smoke today because,
a) Nicotine is addictive and I didn't quit before it became a serious addiction.
b) Smoking a cigarette is habit forming - not the same as addiction.
c) I have a bad temper which is severely aggravated by not following my urges
and impulses, such as smoking and following my habits.
d) The only time my temper is so depreciated that I can flat out ignore it
is when I am, 1) in hospital for an extended amount of time and fed by a drip,
and when, 2) I am ... uh ... um ...
Well, there is no 2. The only time my smoking urges, whether habit or addiction,
were suppressed beyond conscious thought was when I was in hospital recently
having all four of my wisdom teeth removed - I was on an IV drip feeding me
anti-biotics and another feeding me saline, and the atmosphere in the ward was
such that I never had a problem falling asleep. My mistake was using the
freedom of leaving hospital to light up when I was waiting in the
drop-off/pick-up area for my taxi.
So, essentially, I don't want to quit because I'm afraid of what I'll do in a
temper-fueled rage.
On a more dark note, I just don't care any more about cancer. I see the world
through the Internet and through the eyes of my friends and co-workers, and look
at the job I have and the prospects for the future and I think,
'***** it. I'm just going to chuff on until either I'm dead or ***** changes
here.' - m8ymerc1, on 01/06/2009, -1/+3Smoking does nothing to calm you down, it does just the opposite.
- aussieNickuss, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2How does someone actually get addicted to smoking? Do you just smoke and smoke until it kicks in, or was it just a couple that set off the addiction?
I ask because I've smoked LOTS (100's over the last few years) of cigarettes (only while drinking at parties/weekends) and I have never ever had a craving or felt the need to pick up another. - ClevelandBrown, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1No one here will visit your crappy website, now go away.
- everfresh59, on 01/06/2009, -1/+2Did we really need science to figure that out?
- dlite922, on 01/06/2009, -2/+3ya. It got like that for me and I quit (new year resolution) with a coworker and smoking partner.
Related to the article. I know a decade-long smoker quit by submitting to this unconscious habit. He bought a pack of cigarettes go outside and pretend to smoke it. As it converse and socialize with the smokers like he usually did but not actually /light/ the cigarette. (Oral fixation thing). After a while, he would forget to go out to smoke because the cravings didn't remind him.
Me? I went cold-turkey. I believe there are things in the unconscious but if really really strong the conscious will always over power it. If I given I'll know that I'm mentally weak, which is something I never want to say about myself. If I am weak I might as well pray to Jesus. - immatellyouwhat, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1" It's Rainin' Sideways!!!! "

your point is retarded, though. - inactive, on 01/06/2009, -1/+2You win one (1) Duke Medical School degree.
You are now truly wafflesoMD - Niightwitch, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Winners never quit, and quitters never win.
- redcolumbine, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1Because they are highly profitable. Profitable enough to fuel a killer lobby (quite literally) that can buy enough legislators to let them get away with murder.
Besides, people could still grow tobacco in their back yards and roll their own. That would get rid of a lot of the poisonous additives, anyway. - jason210, on 01/07/2009, -0/+1A lot of it is genetics. i smoked a pack while drinking one night.
went out with some people the next morning.
i bummed one.
i started smoking.once you start and don;t think its a big deal to have one whenever
you can then become addicted. - borez, on 01/06/2009, -2/+3Edit: just by standing next to a smoker
- dronesixtyten, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Fine, bury the smoker.
- inghamb87, on 01/06/2009, -1/+1It's not that hard...I quit 20 times a day
- aschwartz, on 01/06/2009, -1/+1smoking is a fun relaxing pastime. I enjoyed it immensely when I smoked. I quit nearly 5 years ago, and havent looked back. I still think I want a cig now and then, but I just stick to my bong instead. it brings much joy.
- Maripa, on 01/07/2009, -0/+0Why don't they just stop MAKING Cigarettes?
- fretslide, on 01/06/2009, -5/+5Another Stupid Research.........
I'll tell you Why Most smokers who try to quit return to smoking again? . The main problem is that Everything Revolves around smoking once you are a habitual smoker . You are always like "Lets smoke once this task is done or vice versa" . your whole schedule revolves around smoking .
Even a thought of quitting makes me want to smoke .I'm going to smoke AGAIN ! .
Cigg smoking is injurious to health and its filthy Habit . Don't smoke . When you'll start smoking you would think that your new habit is under control but after sometime it will control you :( - gettempapa, on 01/06/2009, -3/+2i quit on friday i think
