[ja_raul]

I started smoking to look cool in front of the grade 7 girls (after i graduated hs)

[*STARFISH*]

hindsight is 20/20..

props to everyone whos trying to quit
im on week 3.5 and im dying lol

[nabs]

i quit cold chicken

[Sarah...]

I dont smoke.....
I smoke a drag or two when I am very very hammered...

You guys may think thats cheating but fucken whatever... It works for me....
and Im proud Cause I smoked a pack a day for about 4 years...

[decypher]

I started as an "after-sesh" after blazing in highschool at lunch. Then as i started drinking more as i got older it started to hold it's grip.

Then you get trapped into this cycle where you smoke a shitload when you drink and then you need a smoke after every meal, then after sex, when u wake up, when you sleep, when your studying, ahhhh it gets crazy.

After that your screwed, i was up to a pack and a half a day. It was insane, i used the patch to quit for a few months then started back hard again. Finally after a good 6 years i quit using the nicotine inhaler.

It allowed me to get the nicotine while still doing the act of inhaling. Then the inhaler gets gross and you can't even look at it. By then you have the strength, with a little determination, to quit for good.

I'm on 1 year and about 7 months since i quit. Haven't had a smoke since but ever since i started going to the persian tea house a few weeks ago i can't stop thinking about smoking! ahhh. I'll never go back to cigarettes though, that would be the worst mistake of my life.

[KenJi]

I smoke.

I started cause I was bored and alot of my friends smoke and still do.

Though I don't smoke as much now trying to lower it enough to quit. The more active I seem to stay the lesser I smoke.

[Revolver]

i can go days without a smoke.

i could quit right now and never smoke another cigarette.its soo bizzare. i am EXTREMELY lucky cuse i get NO cravings what so ever.

i just enjoy smoking. but im a extremely light smoker...lik only 4-5 a week but more during a nite of copius amounts of alcohol and dnb.

when im backpacking thats a whole other story. like almost everyone seems to smoke on the road...those fuckng eropean kids smoke for breakfast and they all look sooo healthy its odd....

best smokes ive found is this brand 'eros' menthol from columbia. i reaaaley miss those.

[don't_stop]

I only smoke @ work... havent had a smoke since 2 oclock today.. woohoo
used to smoke almost a pack a day

[Chewy]

havnt smoked for 6 weeks.. im done smoking and i will not do it again.. Have faith in yourself and you can do it!

[Asheai]

I smoke(d)... I would say I started mainly for "after-sesh" (as someone else stated - pot's really the worst thing for ya, lol)... then it became a social thing (go to the smoke pit at school, hang out, talk, make friends)... after I left highschool I quit completely, easily (even though I was up to over 1/2 a pack a day)... now I smoke only prime times (NO cigarettes, they are so gross) and only a couple a week (3 maybe)... so, I think I am doing pretty good :) Also, I dont really get cravings either and I could quit if I wanted, but I love the taste of prime times :D

[mojo]

never have and never will.

my parents have set a great example as 2 long term smokers. who are both a 5 weeks into no smoking.

3 cheers for my mom and dad fnk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[esoter1c]

I tried to start smoking.

Puked.

Smelled my fingers 5hrs later.

Puked again.

I really have no idea how people start.

[~god~]

i smoke a few cigars a week.

can't stand ciggy's. i'm with blake on this one. fuckin' fingers/clothes/hat/car/backpack stink like SHIT.

ew.

[KenJi]

you gotta be kidding me i'm the only smoker in here that smokes regularly f that lol

[tiedye]

I decided one day that I wanted to be a chain smoker. Once I discovered how expensive chain smoking was, I cut down to about a pack a day. I still smoke a pack a day and I love it.

[Juicyka]

ive never smoked, and never will.
all my friends smoke, and i find it pretty gross.
but a few of them have recently quit, which is good.

First of all, its cold turkey.

Second of all: no you didnt quit "cold turkey". You even made a thread about it on fnk about how you gave in to your addiction and BOUGHT a pack of ciggs just so you could smoke one.

definition of "cold turkey"

2.cold turkey - complete and abrupt withdrawal of all addictive drugs or anything else on which you have become dependent; "he quit smoking cold turkey"; "she quit her job cold turkey"

lately?

'i'm quitting' is like a smoker's motto. right up there with 'this is my last pack'.

[ebbomega]

oh yeah. i had a couple of puffs from a cigarette tonight. first drag in like a month and a half.

i've never been a regular smoker, usually only smoke when i'm high or if it's been a while (like a month) since i've smoked last. i hope i don't get addicted.

i do it to get a charge of inhaled energy as opposed to ingested energy (caffeine). or sometimes just to be social.

[Euro Dollar]

i smoke cuz i want to die of lung cancer, and i hear thats a good way to get it.

[Goodfellow]

i quit like 8 months ago , although I wasn't really a heavy smoker, I could barely go through a pack in a week.

one thing I don't understand, is how the HELL do you people smoke a pack a day. f'n christ. that's like one every 20 minutes lol just as you are recovering from the gross headache and energy loss you have another! wooo!

[bebu*funfun]

ive quit for almost a month and a half now and almost on a daily basis i still crave for a cigarette. i get really mad at ppl who do the whole "social smoking" thing..seriously, why harm your body on a social basis...dude that lil head rush is not worth it. go spin in a circle for 5 minutes if u want a funky feeling.

serioously pisses me off when i see ppl in ther 20+ start smoking.. seriously WHY START. one day ull end uup having problems breathing like me and ull start regretting..like me.

same reason anyone starts smoking really.. it just sorta happens. ppl offer you a puff here and there, then you buy a pack when ur drinkin etc etc nobody just decides one day they will be a smoker.

it'll get better though, the first month or 2 .. i got cravings a lot. now that its been a good 6 months, I rarely ever get a craving. Although I occasionally buy cigars when I'm drinkin, those aren't gross and chemmy and addictive.

[frankie_V]

is hooka just as addicting?

i know lotta people who do that shit
