|
 |
well i have already stopped smoking since yesterday. it means probably nothing for others but im damn proud of myself. i was a chain smoker: 2x marlboro red/day AND during weekend 3 packs when i drink during the night outs.
im currently using 2 patches of TTS 30 (i suppose this means 30mg) it is the highest dosis available in Belgium (prescription needed)
i have to say that it works damn good. i still like to smoke cigarettes but i can refuse them. though im scared because i wont get off the nicotine addiction this way.
others with same experiences?
many thanks!

I was a regular smoker until about 5 years ago, although I actually didn't stop occasionally smoking (mostly while drinking) until this year -- 3 months without a cigarette now and I don't get the craving for one when I drink.
It's tough man, nicotine is fucking addictive. I actually never tried anything like a patch or nicotine gum. My stepdad was a fucking chain smoker, he found that Zyban was the only thing that worked for him....

I quit cold turkey three weeks ago!
Marlboro Reds 1.5-3 packs a day depending on how early i woke up and how late i was awake. Also, drinking really increased the amount os smoking - pretty much was smoking at any given time. It sucks, still crave'em but it's not so bad at this point.

nice work man, i have been battleing those smelly sticks for a couple years now. I quit cold turkey for 9 months, not a puff. Then i was an idiot and said, oh i guess i can have one at the bar, in a few weeks i was a 1/2 pack smoker again. Im trying to quit again right now, but i just cant do cold turkey. I have cut back to maximum 3 smokes a day. Non at work, its counter productive anyways. Just one on the way to work, one on the way home.
Again good work, keep strong, cigs are evil.

Who knows? but anyone would still stink less.
But to be nice lets say he showers on a daily basis. Most people do.

I smoked tobbaco and cigs for nearly 10 years striaght (mothers influence). Then stopped properly about two years ago.
I feel so much better. I used to get chest infections every year and then became allergic to penicillin, guess I was OD'ing on the stuff and was rushed into hospital with anaphalaxsis.
Heart disease is a big problem with smoking, especially if your slightly overweight etc:
I did buy some baccy about a week ago and rolled one. God it tasted like shit, so threw the rest in the bin.
It seems ok when your in your 20's and early 30's, but trust me when your nearing 40 it really hurts. Pleased I stopped when I did. Hope I can encourage anyone else to quit.

Stop trying to quit smoking, quit trying to smoke.
I also think fisk should be unbanned.

My Grandmother died of it at 83. Don't quote me on the age. And she thought she was safe because she didn't have lung cancer.  |
pancreatic cancer sucks, and yes, you're right
| Quote: | Patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer typically have a poor prognosis partly because the cancer usually causes no symptoms early on, leading to metastatic disease at time of diagnosis. Median survival from diagnosis is around 3 to 6 months; 5-year survival is much less than 5%[7] With 32,180 new diagnoses in the United States every year, and 31,800 deaths, mortality approaches 99%, giving pancreatic cancer the #1 fatality rate of all cancers and the #4 cancer killer in the United States amongst both men and women.
Cigarette smoking is considered to be the most significant and avoidable risk factor for pancreatic cancer
Despite the especially lethal nature of pancreatic cancer, the research spending per pancreatic cancer patient is only $1145, the lowest of any leading cancer. |

It's all about control over yourself. Weak minds fall to the dark side. While the strong are Jedi fighters on the good side! YEhA!! Smoking ftl! (I still do it while drunk and shit, but hey! Let the jedi have some fun huh? )
