I am going to try to quit cigarettes. I like smoking them, and I've tried to quit in the past, but I always ended up picking up another one. I'm going to quit for good this time, cold turkey. I'm through. I used to think cigarettes were disgusting, stupid, and not a good choice. Recently I started thinking they were alright-tasting, okay to smoke, etc. Now I think this needs to be stopped, but I can't find myself to honsetly think they're nasty. I'm mainly quitting because my lungs are getting weak and I don't want to pant for air when I walk up a flight of steps. I'm trying to get myself to have more energy because lately I have found myself to be very lethargic, so I am going to exercise more (running around my neighborhood daily) and try to keep myself moving so I can have energy and good lungs. Can anyone help change my opinion, or give me encouragment, advice, or anything? I need all I can get right now. Thanks everyone
i just quit smoking a few months ago... it was hard, had to try a few times before it stuck. my main things dont think you can just smoke one more after having stopped for a few days and then be done you have to just stop, i kept screwing up thinking alright ill just take a few drags and no more! finaly stopped. im definately more energetic, which is cool since i was already pretty energetic before and my lungs feel better and more powerful. good luck with it!
damn your 16 and already have weak lungs? I play midfielder on my varsity high school soccer team which compensates for my pot smoking. I HATE CIGARETTES
Koko, go to wedmd, erowid, informational sites that can show you the effect of smoking cigarettes. That should do it, it did for me. Your problem shouldn't be with the act of smoking a cigarette, but the combined effect over time of smoking them. You need to look at the big picture instead of a single cigarette.
I refuse cigarettes because i dont wanna get addicted. Same with IV, I keep it in my mind that its bad caus i know if i try it, then ill do it too much, and lead to a habit. It was like that with alchohol and now weed lol, so i stay away form cigarettes if im sober. I recon they stink too. However i know i woudlnt mind it if i became a smoker...
Ah, very well said, I want to stop for my health as well, allthough I don't smoke much cigarettes. I've also a lack of energy and am going to exercise more (on my bicycle), but when I'm drinking beer in the weekend I have to smoke a cigarette in awhile...
I had 2 today, and I sold the rest of the pack to a friend. No more cigs for me Later tonight I'm going to run around my neighborhood again.
i recently quit BUYING cigarettes but haven't been able to resist the occasional one (2-3 a week). especially when i'm drinking. but i already feel a lot better when i'm tearing around campus on my bike
i smoke and i love it i know it a horrible thing to say but nonsmokers bash cigs cuz they cause cancer and say they are nasty cuz they smell nasty i happen to think cigs taste yummy like i think there is nothing better then getting high and smoking newports and eating M&Ms but quit if u can because its a bad habit. i think when i turn twenty one i will quit being a smoker and become an alcoholic.....
your gonna need something to replace the habit probably, how far into addiction are you exactly? perhaps you can take up excercising instead, to regain strength and lung capacity, and plus excercising just gives people and overall sense of well being, which you will need desperatley in this fight... good luck man
Im gonna quit after new years, ciggies are so good for almost anything for me esspeccially when on shrooms, when drunk or right after smokin alot of bud.
