Quitting smoking.
I want to.. but really I have no reason to..nor do I really care..
Sure I can quit for my health.. but meh.. though.. I may be kicking myself for that later. I've had many conversations with friends that just find it disgusting but still smoke themself... I know myself.. I'll have no problem quittin.. since I've done it before... and don't have that much of an adictive personality. I really don't know wut the purpose of the thread is.. but I guess.. it's to see if anyone else is in the same boat as I am. And shit, my job doesn't help the situation.. though... I'm gonna be doing something diffrent there next week! to quit or not to quit.....

same boat. i quit for 2 weeks and i just bought a pack of smokes..so here i go again. before i had the purpose to quit when i had sports.. but now i dont really have a purpose (except health) to quit for. its really tough when you're friends with mostly smokers as well.. i want to quit..but its not as easy as it sounds.

ah
i find it funny when people say they can quit at any time, because they've done it before. ...but they're still smoking. i tried to quit before, but i started smoking again, therefore i didnt quit. but to the topic at hand, quitting isnt as easy as it sounds, at least for me. i've tried a couple times unsuccessfully. i think health is a good enough reason though, there shouldnt be any reason greater than staying alive.

Well... quit doesn't always mean for good.. like for instance.. I did quit smoking for a good period of time, then started up again.. because.. meh.. didnt care.
And sure health is a good reason.. I dunno.. for me..my health is already shot.. so.. blah.. but for other.. I have no idea.

trust me ... you don't want to have to go through chemo and radiation once youre lungs are gone. and you start to die from lung cancer.
from one who is there right now, chemo and radiation and all the other fun stuff that comes with it is reason enough to quit.

ya im calling minor bullshit on this thread its one thing to say you that your done or cutt back or even stop for a period of time, but actually quiting for good is very very tuff to do. And there are a thousand reasons to stop smoking, health ,money, self respect, the health of others.

The big reason young people should quit smoking - the stink :)
We all have a hard time really picturing the ill effects on our health - or accepting that lung cancer or blood clots could happen to us I know - I'm in a similar boat i love smoking when i'm drinking - the two wander down the path together skipping and singing..i don't want to break that up but other then that I don't tend to smoke - many years ago I used to smoke like a pack a day - but god knows I couldn't afford that now - buying a pack bi-weekly is just perfect..just enough to have some for the weekend drink fests

I've cut down smoking to only when I go out on the week ends, but I want to quit for good and never touch another cigarette ever again really soon!
There are so many reasons to quit smoking in my opinion and really not many to contunue. My biggest one is my health and the health of my future children. If you smoke and quit, smoking can still effect your pregnancy/unborn child for up to 5 years, or so I've been told. That is my biggest reason for quitting. Also, the many many other health risks involved, I've done some research on the effects of smoking and let me tell you it's very disturbing what smoking can do to your body. Also, it stinks, makes your teethe yellow and can age you considerably. My other reason is the money. I want to travel, and if I quit smoking that can happen much earlier than if I continue! Between my boyfriend and myself we can save about $4000 with in one year, why would I continue to smoke knowing what I can have if I don't! I've cut down to just week ends when I am out for about a month now. It's really not as hard as you would think, not smoking as a daily/hourly habit, but just when you are out drinking etc with friends (not that this is good either but it's better). I'm pretty sure quitting for good and not going back is the challenge.

i cant go a day without one anymore.
hell i cant go more than 3 hours with out getting really agro and attacking some random person on the street for smokes im butt fuck broke but i still scrounge up as much change as i can.. hopefully itll add up to a lil over $8. we all know its expensive and bad for your health.. but as much as we think we could quit when we want to... its not that easy. how the hell are you supposed to quit? i need to... my lungs are all fux0red from my asthma & bronchitis.. and i thought i could quit anyday i wanted. so if youre still at the point where you can quit even if you dont really want to... do it now before it before it becomes a bigger problem and you cant quit.. sorry i think im just rambling... :silly: Last edited by *STARFISH*; Sep 23, 03 at 05:02 AM.

ZYBAN, my friend who's a hardcore smoker, since high school, is currently down to 6 smokes a day, and that's with him smoking WHEN HE wants. he's only been on zyban for a 2 weeks. even that 2 weeks of cutting down is huge for him. it works pretty good. i should get some zyban

ESPECIALLY if you are already on anti depressants
zyban is BAD BAD BAD itll just make you feel like crap. if anyone is considering zyban and is on anti depressants... im sure your doctor wont let you take zyban mine didnt... i believe they counteract each other?

i think the hardest part of actually quitting would be just that...quitting...people form habits...its not soo much the addiction for some as it is routine. I think to quit you have to replace smoking with something else. Grrr one day i will quit!
