Thread: smoking.

I really want a cigg.
I quit for most of last year , took it up again around Xmas stopped again three days ago. now I am just ............

fighting it. specially on st pats with a glass in front of me.

I can relate! I only smoke now days when I do certain things, most days I don't.

God bless your efforts. Cigs are an absolute ball and chain.

i've lately got hooked on rolling my own cigarettes with balishag tobacco and chocolate flavoured papers.. i feel like such a junky doing it too.

seems like one drink and my mind instantly starts obsessing over a smoke.

I never could quit and drink at the same time. It always seemed that I need a cig in one hand to balance the drink in the other. Otherwise I would lose balance and fall off of the barstool. Dont laugh! It has happened!

exactly.. i don't have a problem with quitting smoking.. i have a problem with not drinking..

Come May the 6th I'll have the plug in the jug for 1 year and glad of it. I quit cigarettes, Camels with no filters, ten years ago. I smoked them for 36 years, usually 2 packs a day. I smoke tobacco pipes, one after another, now. I don't inhale though so that is definitely better for my health than cigarettes.

I didn't realize how foul cigarettes smell until I quit and could smell them. Made me begin to understand how objectionable the aroma can be to non smokers. I would like to say I quit for my health but it was my wallet. Now the non filter Camels are $8.00 a pack around here and those are the only cigarettes I've ever liked. I am working towards getting my mind right to give up all tobacco. Quit chewing six months ago. Good luck staying quit. You'll be glad if you do and as an old business agent of mine used to say, you can if you will.

As a young guy who as gotten hooked, quit, hooked again, quit again, and currently hooked again on Copenhagen I'll tell you it's absolutely worth it to push through the holiday.

If giving up the booz for a little while is what it takes then make that decision. A year from now a sober St. Patties won't matter...you still having that chain around your neck WILL matter.

People say that they'd never start if they could do it all again...I say I'd wish I'd never gone back to it.

It's a lovely yet cruel Mistress.

I've been quit for years now and that sounds absolutely delicious. I love rolling my own. The tobacco is so much better and tastier, and my lungs feel like they are getting a less harsh, less chemical smoke.

Send me one of those... I don't dare smoke it but perhaps I could put melted butter on it and eat one!

PS Don't send me one
