After you've quit awhile, among all the other benefits, the feeling of superiority when you see others smoke is enough to keep you quit.

Seeing young beautiful teenage girl with that shit in her mouth makes me sad not superior.

It's possible to develop addiction for better things in life. I know I will never stop reg. exercise as long as I am able to move.
 
I smoked for twenty plus years, was trying to quit for about twenty of them... addictions are the argument you never win, so don't argue with it, stop smoking and stop listening to it.. when I quit, every time the argument started up i just hopped on my road bike and left the argument behind, cycled to the park and ran laps until I was so winded that the argument would shut up entirely.. I picked a fight with some poor guy, nice guy, all he seemed to know is that I was nuts and he wanted no part of it.. .good for him... I got so nuts by the third day but then it just subsided.. nothing in about 24 years now.. I was told that you multiply years times packs per day and that tells you how many years it takes to become completely healthy after quitting... I still have a decade if that is the case...

In the first few months the cough goes away and lungs seem to repair about 80%... instead of having flu twice a year I have it about every tenth year... and I've been twenty pounds overweight ever since a month after I quit, I should argue with the food addiction.....
 
No, dumbass, MOST everything is fine in moderation. Unfortunately, nicotine is highly ADDICTIVE. Many folks don't just smoke once or twice a week as a "social" thing. They become slaves to it.
Do you also shoot heroin on the weekends just for kicks? Idiot.


PEOPLE, wake the f- up. Why are you paying to kill yourselves? You have ONE FUCKING LIFE, if the little voice in your head is telling you to STOP smoking then you do whatever the fuck it takes to STOP. That becomes a major focus in your life until you rid yourself of your addiction. It's not going to be easy but fucking SACK up and make it happen. If you are on the fence and are in the "it's just too hard" crowd then you are destined to be eliminated from existence. If you're a fighter and actually care about you life and its effects on your loved ones, then time to really step up and make it happen. If you have to pull a Ewan Mcgregor from Trainspotting and confine yourself to a bed for days while you body detox's so be it!!!

Quote from Optional:

Sorry buddy.
you are the stupid fuck for NOT smoking

You non-smokers think you are so fucking superior because you don't smoke. It has nothing to do with you being stronger willed or us smokers being weaker willed.

Smoke people smoke because they enjoy it.

Like chocolate or wine or weed, everthing is fine in moderation.

Except jerkoffs like you - I can only handle one heinous whiff of you...

OK. Those of you who smoke will appreciate this little story. I think the Gods are trying to tell me something. Giving me that little extra incentive so to speak. I was just on my way to the store to buy (what else) a pack of cigs. Coffee cup in one hand, cigarette in the other. Dropped the bloody cigarette between my legs (wearing shorts). Yikes! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!. There went the coffee cup. All over the place. Almost went off the friggin' road fishing around for the stupid cig. Ended up with a nice little burn hole in my leather seat and wonderful coffee stains everywhere. Darn!!! LOL! End of story. Yup, definitely time to stop this nonsense. Two more days...

Regards,

Going way back.

I'm in this blue collar gin mill, drinking with my fake id. All these older tough guys, it was good times, but anyways I'm a little wasted and shooting pool and one old timer offers me a cigar.

I'm smoking this thing like a cigarette, I set in down in the ashtray, not paying attention and when I pick it up I stick the wrong end in my mouth, I get this big burn, still trying to act cool hoping no one noticed what I did.
 
I don't see why you need signs from above. Your subconscious is telling you to stop. You know its killing you. Why do you need some mildly meaningful events to push you over the edge. Look at your wife or girlfriend (if you have) and children (if you have) and think about how stupid it is to inhale poison and PAY for the pleasure to do so!

WAKE UP TURHO, you know better. Make your best effort, do whatever it takes. Come out the other side better for it and it will be something you remember for the rest of your life.

I have NEVER smoked, but most everyone in my family did smoke both of my parents smoked and quit in their forties and lived to eighty or well past eighty.

I can tolerate smoking and smokers.

I am not a secular humanist missionary in my zeal to castigate and demean people who smoke.

I LIKE smokers, the ones that I have met have tended to be honest at least about smoking. Not one smoker ever tried to get me to smoke. In fact, they usually said what a nasty habit it was, and anyone who did not smoke was fortunate to not have smoking as a habit.

I DESPISE the politically correct smoking police and the morally superior high horse that they rode in on.

My personal religious belief is that they that practice, support, and encourage abortions are all going straight to Hell. But since I could be wrong on that, I do not publicly take a morally superior pose to those that do not think twice of doing a snuff job on that which is living in the womb.

I just do not understand how anyone who condones ABORTION can pretend moral superiority and pass moral judgment on smoking and smokers.
 
You look into the eyes of a helpless child who has developed lifelong illnesses because their neglectful parents decided it was in their best interest to keep smoking at the expense of their children. The very children who have no choice in the matter and are left to deal with the consequences of their ignorant and weak parents.

I looked in the mirror as a child. So did my peers. We PAID no price. I be healthy, they be healthy.

That neglectful and weak parents garbage, is a mixture of the JUNK SCIENCE missionary zeal of secular humanism along with that good old Freudism garbage blame your parents first and then hate them.

The children who have NO CHOICE are the ones who are killed in the womb.

The parents who conceive and kill their young before they are born are NOT NEGLECTFUL, they be WANTONLY HOMICIDAL.

Abortion is extremely pathological anti-social behavior, the behavior you are trying to attribute to smoking and smokers.

Smoking is physically pathological to the smoker, I sit here a 58 year old healthy man who along with innumerable peers and provide testament to fact that smoking was not generally physically pathological to the babyboomer generation.
