Everyone says that smoking will give you cancer and is not healthy for you at all, but yet people still take up the habit. :nuts: Yeah I personally don’t understand it either, I’ve never had any urge to start smoking. I know a lot of people that start because of the “cool” factor associated with it these days…early in life ever…6th-7th-8th grade even. Kinda sad…I also know they aren’t even addicted though, and they just do it when they are out with friends and such to fit in… It’s easy to tell when they can go on vacation for a couple weeks and not smoke once, then come back and go out and smoke up a storm… Either way, good luck on quitting and congrats on the effort. ---

I agree…my parents smoked like crazy…I used to be a great sprinter in elementary…by the time I got up to high school it took me 12 min to run a mile and had to stop constantly bc the asthma just got worse and worse!! We Finally talked my mom into smoking out side and not in the house when she moved in…therefor I am only around smoke when I am in a bar, LET me tell you the difference!! One night in a bar honestly can keep me in bed the next day for a good 15 hours… I dont know how the people that do smoke handle it directly… I think one of the best ways to get through this is to hate it…you have to mentally tell your self that its disgusting to touch so that when it does come around you, you wanna throw up inside of light up. As any habit its hard to break, but it is doable! Congrats for trying to quit!!! Good luck!!! ---

It’s bad for you, peer pressure, don’t do drugs, economical standpoint,…call it what you will. Some people do it, so don’t. I’ve smoked a couple times, but I never got addicted. I think the ADD helps with that. You start smoking, then see something shiny out of the corner of your eye and forget you were smoking. Hell, it took me 5 minutes to type this because I kept seeing my cats running around and I forgot I was typing. ---

I smoked about a pack a day for 10 years finally decided enough was enough when the price started creeping towards $5 a pack. I quit cold turkey September 28, 2002 and I haven’t touched one since. ---
