I'm cool with smokers, but as an asthma sufferer I'm not a big fan of cigarette smoke. I believe in an individual's right to kill him or herself, and that extends to behaviors that are potentially fatal too so long as they don't also put other people in danger. In other words, if you so choose, please enjoy smoking on your own or with people that don't mind. If you smoke around me, one of us has to leave or we'll be potentially headed to the ER.

And yes, it's almost too big.
I want bad people to look forward to and celebrate the day I die, because if they don't, I'm not living up to my potential.

I think we should build camps that we put the Smokers in where they need to CONCENTRATE on not smoking.\

Joking aside, food tastes so much better now. I think that might be a big reason why the increased eating. That and I went up three flights of stairs with only slightly heavier breathing where as before I'd huff pretty badly for a few minutes.

By the way, it's about a month without smoking. I now have a favorite scent. Jasmine Bambooo. Bold but  subtle enough to enjoy. It lingers in the air but not in an overbearing way.

I too am trying to quit. The hardest part is while I hate smoking I looove smoking too. If that makes any sense. My biggest problem is it seems everytime I almost quit I also have a couple to many beers. Since I smoke more when I drink anyway and my inhibitions are lowered I always seems to say "fuck it" and have a cigerette...then another...then another then I end up having to start all over again.

I had a dream last night that I went to the tobacco shop and bought my usual order of tobacco and papers. I was even rationalizing it with "Oh, a few a day isn't that bad!" and in my dream I realized I had given all the rolling equipment to my brother. I awoke and thought that was weird. I have no real urge to smoke and I am amazed at how easy it was for me to quit.

But I also hardly smoked anything near a half pack a day at the most. Often I'd only smoke at work as well.

If smoking were not deadly, it would be the epitome of cool by now. You know why so many people started smoking in the first place? Because it looked badass, and we didn't know the health-risks.

Anyone who invents a healthy cigarette will be rich.

They have E-cigarettes where it vaporizes the nicotine and thats all you inhale.

In a sci-fi way it kind of is. Really though, you're essentially sucking on a tailpipe. It's not very glamorous when you think about it.

Congrats on quitting.  I quit too, 4 months ago.   I joined a quit smoking forum and there was a lot of support, but basically everyone gained weight and i guess if you don't exercise it off, there's no way around it.    I would say the oral fixation started to wear off after a couple months, though.   Best thing to do is not keep any of the stuff in the house.  I started just doing daily shopping for dinner and not keeping any munchies around.   Quitting munching is much like smoking.  You look at your craving for food the same way as the cigarette, just sit there and bite the bullet and the craving will go away.

BTW any quitters can get some really valuable quitting info without any god stuff at Whyquit.com.    Its an excellent site for inspiration and knowledge of the addiction.  It will help you keep your quit, for sure.

Good luck!

hello
first one i can't get your mean whats u trying to say with more hunger.
i suggest u to keep distance with people have  such habit because its able to divert you again towards the smoking .
and when ever u realized that you need something instead of sigarate you can tried something else like gum to just divert your mind and afterward slowly slowly  its helping you out from its.

We use God's System (imperial) when it comes to measurements, sir.

Just kidding. People keep insisting that it seems like I've lost weight. I have been doing calisthenics a lot more and trying to watch what I eat but it being finals week and focusing on getting everything in order leaves me with making poor dietary habits. Coupled with sedentary living that I've had, it makes for a nasty combination.

It's been almost 2 months now and I don't have even the slightest urge to smoke. I literally get sick just smell people who smoked a cigarette within the past few minutes. My sense of smell has really heightened from what it used to be.
