God DAMN I need a cigarette!!!! :(

Damn thats my biggest weakness! Still is now really, that's why i've been avoiding any drinking sessions with friends. When I first started to quit, I kidded myself into thinking I was just a social smoker...so much healthier! hmm. Ended up smoking all of mine and everyone elses instead! Oops!

It's bad to generalise so much. I wanna quit because I know it harms me, and others..and i'm becoming increasingly more and more aware of this. Some love smoking too much to quit, some feel ignorance is bliss, and others quit quitting all the time cos they find it so difficult. It's all on the individual really. I think many smokers will tell you they will ALWAYS find money for cigarettes. How do you think a lot of people living in deprived areas can afford to?

I can truly relate. I am also gonig a week now without smoking, I'm doing rather well, but at certain points of the day, such strong cravings hit, I get over them, but those are truly moments of frustration.

I'm going to go backpacking to the islands here over the weekend, so I will start smoking again, I always smoke when I travel, but I'll see, maybe I can quit again when I return.

 

Don't you think it's a bit twatish to laugh at someone for being unable to break a behaviour pattern that could end up with them dying in great pain?

 

Oh Jeez, non smokers...ide quit if i wasnt afraid i'de become one of ya...

(Bill Hicks)

 

Haha...great quote! Bill Hicks rocks.Still think I'd rather be a non-smoker than a lung cancer victim though!

 

Ummmm.... huh?

 

Yeah but once again as the late great Bill Hicks said " Non smokers die everyday.....Its you people dying of nothing that are screwed".....

Yeah we know its nasty but we are hooked, we are trying our best to get off it, but nothing beats supping a pint and smoking a ciggy....

 

Your sympathy and understanding is overwhelming.

 

Damn it! I know. It's the best thing in the WORLD! haha... Stop making me crave cigarettes! I did my yoga and meditation today..but my god you just made me angry! hehe.

 

its true though..I was just discussing it with JOsie the opther day...people make out that if you dont smoke you dont die!!

well sorry but your gonna die!! my great grandma has been smoking since she was *thinks* 10 and shes now in her late 80's..she smokes about 35 a day and shes still alive and well!

I thini the thing that bothers me is when non smnokers talk to smokers as if they are stupid "its gonna kill you you know?" YES!! we know!!! stop putting up signs everywhere telling us were gonna die!!

"It seems that the worst drugs are actually legal...coincidently TAXED drugs"

All these warnings on cigarette packages...why dont they have "drink too much and you die" on alcohol....and if were gonan get that fucked up then why not have "risk of choking" on chocolate bars????

Bill Hicks would be laughing his ass off if he was still with us....you cant adverttise cigarettes anymore but theres thousands of over the top advetisements for Budweiser and Fosters etc.................

Oh what a world....we smoke...we die....we know...stop reminding us Mr Prime Minister...theres bigger and better things to worry about dude...

 

Stupid in what sense? In the sense that it's a bad idea and it's gonna kill you? Is that something to laugh at? Stupid in the sense that smokers made a mistake and ended up hooked and so run the risk of a slow and painful death? Is that something to laugh at? You think it's funny when people make life-affecting mistakes? Do you go around laughing at homeless people?

 

How does a non smoker get a nicotine rush from a joint?

Stare at it really hard?

Answers on a postcard please.

 

It's been "day one" of me quitting smoking for years....

 

Indeed. But I fail to see how laughin at their impending painful death is going to help them achieve it.

Quitting smoking is very difficult, or far fewer people would smoke. Taking the piss out of people for their failure is twatish.

 

Exactly it's a tough old business. I'm off them since friday, the thing that kills me is not being able to smoke joints, invested in a little pipe today, but I still miss smoking joints If I keep smoking joints though I always end up back on the smokes, it's happened so many times before.

 

It's most likely to piss them off and make them want a smoke.

 

Nah, I'd just punch you

 

Oooh I hadda cigarette last night! Damn me...actually I had TWO cigarettes! I keep tryin to quit, doesn't real help that my dad keeps tellin me 'When I quit I just gave up' grr!
