im in oklahoma right now and ciggs are 4 bucks a pack.
meh, cigs are for fags
i stick to coke
Good stuff. Stay strong. Keep us updated.
wow 7 bucks a pack… i managed to stop smoking back in september… i don’t remember them being that much. i think i was hooked on buy 1 get 1 deals… or just going to the rez
well whatever, i’ve been doing great this time around lol…
why did i start though?? hmm, i was like 15, stole a pack from my dad, ran off into the woods, took a drag or two and thought to myself “hmm, this is cool”… then i threw up.
After that it was just a rebellious “look at what i can do” thing throughout highschool. After that, i was just completely addicted to nicotine and the habit. I guess the reason for starting was just curiosity… I suppose i could blame my parents :lol:
then i realized i liked physical activity, and quit for many many months at a time… went about 5 rounds of that (starting, stopping, etc)…
this time seems pretty certain though. everyone i know smokes, except my gf (which is motivation enough to not smell like shit)
smoking sucks
I started when I was about 16, I do not remember why though…Probably the whole look at me factor. Now I smoke out of habit. I can go a long time w/o one when I am not drinking. As soon as I get a good buzz going from drinking, forget about it.
Carry some nicotine patched around with you. When you get a craving throw one on before you bum a smoke off of someone. Wurkd fer mi.
i ate alot. But it wasnt till i quit then immidiately started working out that i realized im never going to have anothe one ever again.
i havent smoked in 3 weeks
Good for you. I dont think enough smokers realize how bad they smell constantly.
all of my friends smoke menthols.im so sick of smelling like methols WTF:banghead:
this is basically the main reason i quit. everyone always told me i smelled great (even guys, no homo… well maybe jus a lil:mamoru:) as soon as i started smoking this all stopped. The worst feeling i ever had was walking into my class and everything smells sterile and perfect and 2minutes later it just reeks if cigarettes
the next day when i quit someone told me i smelled great right away lol.
i hope the scent gets out of my car :meh: im putting in a new carpet, repainting everything, cleaning the headliner and prob new seats
god a hate smoking …its cool to see you all quit… smoking = nasty
I started last fall when I was eighteen, I had started smoking cigars when I was 17 just because I thought they were cool(I feel really stupid looking back on that) and last fall I was at a party, pretty buzzed, and someone offered me a smoke, I decided what the fuck, I’ll cut loose for tonight, and smoked it. The cig high i got in conjunction with the buzz felt fantastic and by the end of the night I had smoked maybe 4, didn’t feel sick at all. The next morning I woke up and felt like shit so I stopped at a gas station and bought a pack, smoked one, and felt great. I threw the pack in my desk at home and forgot about them til the next night when I was bored so I lit one up and enjoyed. I then started having one a night, but then chainsmoked at parties. When summer hit and I was never in the house, it quickly turned into something like 6 a day. Now 'm at college, stressed the fuck out 24/7, and I am at half a pack a day, been tellin myself to quit since that first morning but I haven’t been able to as I just don’t feel myself without them 
and now this thread makes me wanna quit but I just split the cost of a carton with a friend and the four full packs in front of me say no quitting yet…dumbass excuse…(sorry bout the rant but you were all asking what leads someone to smoke)
although I will admit smoking is what led me to meet my best friend…
all in all, good luck to all you recent quitters and stay strong, make it look easy and doable for us guys who suck at quitting
Dude, I was at 1.5 packs a day. Half a pack is pussy shit.
i smoked for about 5 months, not a pack a day, maybe like 6-10 (10 being summer) at the most (which isn’t really a lot.) i just straight up stopped, i was never really addicted to smoking, i was addicting to smoking during a situation. ie, after i ate at school, on the way to school, in between classes, home from school, when cruising, driving. def when i drink lol (chain, like 12 in row lol fml)
but i’ve never actually gone out of my way to have a cigarette, such as a random cig break
since i’ve quit tho i go thru about a pack of gum a day lol. i just need something in my mouth (no homo) because im usually bored, and wierd as it sounds it passes time by
GOD when i worked at the dealership i swear everyone was on a smoke break every 15minutes for 10minutes
i know i know, i’ve been told countless times I should have no issues quitting, but I can’t, I think the biggest problem is in the back of my mind, I really like and enjoy smoking and don’t actually want to stop despite the more obvious and logical part of my mind telling me its a shitty habit and i’m killing myself
I guess that makes sense. Social + pleasant effects = addiction.
Too bad it will be the cause of your death if you don’t quit. :meh: I hear these stories of people quitting after 30+ years and I feel bad for them. When is it too late? At what point do you just accept that you’re going to die of self-induced cancer?
Sorry to come off like a dick, but it’s such a stupid way to shorten an already far too short life…
ii think if anything id get cancer from my job than smoking lol
I quit over a year ago after smoking for 9 years. never planned it or anything just woke up one morning and didn’t feel like lightin up. Strange i guess. I still enjoy a nice smoke if i am drunk enough but never desire any while sober so I don’t mind indulging once in awhile.
