Quitting smoking (HONEST!!)

But you did get new furniture, wallpaper and curtins! You get to sit on the furniture. It's not all bad!

LOL you forgot the new Ford Focus, the daughter turns 17 in March (the legal age in the UK for driving) and wants the damn thing to learn in

You did post a picture of a Ford. I did not know it was new. I did get myself a VW Passat truth be told. I have two more years before I have a rookie driver attempting to push my turbo through the hood!

Why quit? We all live and we all die. Non-smokers don't live much longer than smokers. Many smokers have lived longer than non-smokers! Look at George Burns! Non-smokers also die of lung cancer (see Dana Reeve - Christopher Reeve's wife who never smoked) or cancer of the ass - probably due to being uptight their whole life!

Just relax and smoke! Stress kills more people than cigarettes does by far. As a matter of fact, the stress of quitting is killing you faster than smoking that cigarette. Your real friends would stop pressuring you to quit. Just stay true to yourself. You're a smoker. Enjoy. What's the worst that could happen? You die? That's simple. We all die.

Side effects if you quit...

1. Increased stress
2. Increased weight - which leads to heart disease which IS the #1 killer in the world.
3. Increased chance of divorce or breakup. Probably due to stress or a change in your behavior. You grow apart.
4. Increased chance of second hand smoke exposure. Chances are your friends still smoke. At least one of them. Your delicate lungs will be exposed to his smoke and you will be just as at risk as any other non-smoker who is around him. Quitting smoking is like taking off your gas mask in a contaminated area! You will have to find all new friends who are non-smokers or learn how to hold your breath for a very long time.
5. You will be less cool. Everybody knows smokers are cool. We look cool and they envious us.
6. You will still develop cancer in your ass. I don't know about you, but I'd rather die of lung cancer than ass cancer!


Your choice. I'mma gonna go smoke now!

That's the way I thought until at age 44 my doctor told me I was in the early stages of infazema (COPD), he said I had a choice of going on for a few more years then die a slow death gasping for air or give up now and possibly live a relatively normal life, I have felt much better and thank God I now live in the country, good clean air, I'm now 56, though I do have coughing bouts every now and then, I would say that it's going to catch up with me sooner or later! My recommendation is "Give up smoking" before it's possibly too late, and good luck!

Actually, cigarettes create more stress then they will ever relieve in a lifetime. Think about it. Cigs cause stress monetarily. Cigs create stress as you drive home wondering if you have enough to last the night. You are stressed wondering if your smoking is offending someone in a public place. In the back of your mind you are stressing when that awful cough comes around where you hack black nasties from your lungs wondering if you killing yourself or not with these things. You are stressed because you have a ball and chain controlling your life. It is that simple.

Also, citing persons who smoked well into their old age is nice and I'm glad for them but it was still a risk. There is no guarantee anyone will not get lung cancer from cigarettes. It is a guarantee that smoking will contribute to other illnesses. As far as stating people like Reeves got lung cancer and did not smoke is fine to point out but adding a cigarette to the picture does not help the situation. You are creating that risk by a huge amount. Why take the risk? Best thing I did was quit smoking....life is less stressful without the cigarette. The only difference is a cigarette adds more stress to your life than relieve it as note above. Take it from someone who took a long time to figure it out.

I smoked since I was 13 and I'm now 44. I quit close to a year ago and damn glad I did! In two weeks with the money I saved I'm taking the family for a week in Disney World and Sea World. We have a two bedroom condo with hot tub and full use of the facilities amenities. In short, we are going large All because I gave up the smokes and saved money (both the wife and I).

Beside...the sh!t really does stink. I can not stand the smell of it anymore.

We are getting close to our one year anniversary Jim I feel so in love.....

I know I'm not Jim but I will say congratulations, yes it takes awhile to get it out of your system but it's not long and you start feeling really good again, as I have said before, if I could go back in time I would kick myself in the ass!! Anyway you can now start living again!!
Cheers.

It's been 2 years, 6 months and 27 days since my last cigarette.

If I could do it you can too!
