Plus, what if you end up having, like, six cigarettes over the course of a long night? Or you're out for multiple days and everyone's out of smokes so you have to pick up the slack? Or you just hosed your ex girlfriend on her kitchen floor and she's getting smokes out of her purse

limeincoke posted:Not really that big of a deal. No one gets upset about giving away 1 cigarette once every two months. When it's always the same dude taking it believe me they do. A cigarette to a smoker is important, it is the drug they are addicted to and thinking that people think 'hey, it's Bob again, bumming cigs, what a guy!' is a really misplaced idea, you are the fucker that appears from the darkness to take away their drug, to them, not to me, I don't know you I am sure you are a nice guy

When I smoked a pack a day I never really had a problem with sharing, and definitely didn't notice if someone was bumming a lot. I mean most of the time I would just offer 1 to someone so that I didn't have to smoke alone.

I smoked a pack a day for 3+ years. Glad I quit young. loving Newports I can't even believe it. I was the guy that would smoke 2 in one 15m work break. The clincher for me was starting to date a girl that loathed smoking. If I smoked she'd know it, and she's my wife now so that all worked out pretty good.

He was my best man at my wedding so a real long term friend who I love and think of as a brother but in social occasions where he'd turn up and do the 'gimme a cig' hand gesture I wanted to murder the blagging loving bastard

A warning about vaping: I dunno about you but to me it gives me a more constant, but less strong, craving throughout the day. I don't fiend for a smoke as badly as I did with regular cigarettes, but I find myself puffing on the e-cig somewhat habitually. Before if I had a night where I smoked and then i stopped, I'd have strong cravings for a day and then they'd go away. Vaping is ideal to avoid a relapse if you're about to have one, but nothing really beats a real cigarette.

Forever is a long time and most people that quit are to concerned about the next few hours to sit and ponder the true gravity of never smoking again in their life.

I quit in February last year. I had smoked for about 33 years. My reason for quitting was to improve my health. But I also quit because gently caress you, tobacco companies and gently caress you, smoking cessation product companies. And gently caress you too probably, generic people and innocent bystanders. I did it all by myself with no support or help from anyone, although I was inspired by a couple of posts by special snowflakes in the YLLS 'Protein and pills etc' thread. And it has been easy as gently caress (you). tl;dr: Harder, firmer erections.

poo poo is hard. I'm from montana, I used to chew a can of cope every 1-2 days, quit, started smoking from friendly exposure, got up to a pack a day, quit about three months ago, still occasionally smoke one on lovely days with a friend, love every single one. but gently caress, I can do like double distance on my mountain hikes from I used to be able to, so falters and all I love quitting, I'm gonna keep pushing away until i don't want that occasional cig. keep it up op, strong work.

I just go crazy and ragey and get headaches and poo poo do you have a smokin ritual, like every hour or so you have to go outside and have a smoke? breaking that need to just go outside for 5-10 minutes every now and then was what did it for me. vaping helps with that because then you dont need to go outside for your nic fix and after a while you just forget to use it.

If you're a smoker you either own it and are like yeah this is bad but I like it and do it anyways or you're a weak willed bitch. There's no in between.

If you can swing it and really want to quit smoking the trick is to quit drinking completely for 3-4 months. Otherwise you're apt to have a few beers and be right back where you started with the smokes.

Good work man, I think it's been about a year since I quit. The first 3 weeks are the hardest, I was angry as gently caress and got headaches but got there in the end. Don't give in, you're smarter and stronger than a stupid drug like nicotene.
