So recently.. 2 days ago, I decided to quit smoking cigarettes. I hadn't smoked for long. Really, I think I only smoked maybe a little over two packs because I would only do it away from my house with friends, trying to hide it from my family. I don't really know why I started, just a curiosity thing I have. But I'm glad I'm getting out before I get too addicted. I noticed the habit starting to take form more and I would smoke to numb myself a bit. I got sick from smoking once and felt like I wanted to die, said I was gonna quit, then didn't. Then just this past weekend I got really sick again, but I'm not letting there be any "3rd time's a charm" thing. It's not worth it. Even thinking about it makes my stomach turn. Cigarettes are disgusting and not even good for you. I'm done with them & I'm done relying on something to numb how I feel. Quitting that trash & taking some time to detox and get my mind back into place. I was also thinking about not smoking weed again. I was going to recently but plans got messed up, & I haven't done it in 2 months. I would've, but don't have easy access to it. I'm still confused on that decision. Maybe it's just because I haven't done it in awhile and kinda forget or my emotions are messed up. Idk, but I'm at least gonna wait until I can say "smoke" and not feel like I want to throw up. Peace to everyone..
I've been smoking weed a lot, but I don't touch tobacco at all. The closest I'll get to tobacco is if someone offers me some weed rolled in a blunt, and I've only smoked a blunt on around 3 occasions. Even though I've never smoked cigs, too much second-hand tobacco smoke definitely has a negative effect on my lungs. But I've never had a problem with all the weed I've smoked. Unlike any other smoke, cannabis smoke actually coats a protective layer on the lungs, and dilates your vessels. Can even slightly increase lung capacity in the long run.
Good for you sweetheart. I wasn't much of a tobacco smoker, but I did get sick off it and I would never go back to that feeling. Then I actually quit pot, which I was a big smoker of and after awhile I started noticing some feelings associated with that that were a big turn off as well, mostly emotional but also physical and I'm not sure I ever thought I would say so, but I never want to go back to that feeling either. I'm surprised that I can still get some really awesome highs naturally. Just have to know how to go after them... Also my body feels a lot healthier, a helluva lot less coughing and music and mentally too...a lot less paranoid and doom/gloom, depression and being too exhausted to move.
I started smoking cigs 3 years ago when I was 19. I believe I started cause of a couple harder drugs I tried, which cigs went well with. Then I heard someone say "smoking cigs after smoking green makes the effect better" so even though I didn't know if it was true or not, I got that idea stuck into my head; so now it feels true. That's why it's difficult for me to want to try to quit. I'm down to half a pack per day instead of a whole pack like I did the first 2 years. But it's still too much and my paranoia of cigarettes killing me in the long-run isn't too appealing. So my point is I smoke them to feel higher. I know I'll stick with green for a long while still, so I need to convince myself that I don't need the cigs to feel high. Congrats to you though for quitting!
i'm back on them, but not like i used to be. 2 or 3 smokes a day, and even that feels like too much. enough that i wanna quit again after every ciggarette. you don't realize how much it takes out of you until you quit. it's a horrible habit
I quit for a long time but have been smoking a pack or more a day for three years now. I really need to quit, but my job is stressful and I find myself smoking all day. Then I end up at the bars and smoke more there.. Soon I will.
