Do it Jake! Be strong! You can DOOOOOOOO IT!

P.S. Does this mean no Hookah for Jake?! :(

sidekick · #3 (**permalink**) Nov 24, 04

hell no. i love hookah.

i know i can do it, but it's really hard.

i'm down to about one a day, and sometimes i go a day without smoking at all. hopefully by new years i'll be done completely.

ROCK IT JAKE!

if you want I'll infect you with my sickness. Truust me, getting a bad cold makes it so easy to quit smoking, because the last thing you want to do when you get sick is smoke..and you're stuck feeling that way for like a week, then you realize it's been days since you've ever even thought of smoking.

Want me to like, make some muffins and cough on them for you? I'd do that for a friend.

hmmm...myra sickness muffins, eh? that might work!

my plan is to finalize the quitting from the 23-27th when i'm on the island with my family for christmas...i just won't bring any smokes to my uncles cabin and then won't buy anymore when i get back.

You can do it jake.
I know you can.
I think you just miss ashing.;)

Tho.. personally I find it hard to quit when everyone knows... cause the subject is brought up more. I couldnt quit whenI told everyone.. but when I did it in silence.. I was home free.

It's easy to quit smoking. minus the incredable urge to dive across the classroom and strangle someone for sneezing.
But honestly, i quit smoking about a month or 2 ago now.. It'll be hard to get used to the social factor of it at first, but u just gotta start thinking of yourself as a non-smoker. I still get pissed off sometimes and thinkin about having a smoke but i just tell myself i'm not a smoker anymore. I've stopped for 2 months, why should i start again?

Although the pot smoking is another story haha, i think it has a negative correlation. Nicotine goes down, THC goes up.

I think you mean inverse relation

#of smokes = a

#of doobies = 1/a

Hence, a decrease in # of smokes (a) will increase the # of doobies (1/a) since the denominator is decreasing.

yea i have to quit smoking too
im gettng surgery and they said no smoking for 2 weeks...and i have to go cold turkey...
but YAY
i got a cold...havent had a smoke in like 2 and 1/2 days....so im getting a head start

update:

the past four days, i've had one cigarette.

i've started to ban certain places from smoking, like my friends houses. that way it will be easier to kill the association between that particular place and having a cigarette when i finally quit altogether.
