 Topic: Do you smoke?
Posted: June 12 2007 at 07:58 |
I do smoke but I can easily go without it...if it's there I'll have it, if it's not then I can easily go without. I don't like smoking pre-rolled cigarettes, I prefer rollies. Although if I'm drinking I don't mind have a cigarette every so often.

I quit in February after 20 years, and I've not smoked since, and have not wanted to.
I had to quit because I had pneumonia. It seemed stupid going back to after a month, by which time the addiction had passed, and I had broken the habit. It's the habit that presents the biggest challenge. Nicotene itself is out of your system vey quick after stoping.
This has been my fifth attempt at quitting. So far so good. Good luck to all of you who want to quit.

Reviewing statistics provided by my government, the 60s were the peak for smokers. Close to 50% did. The 70s saw some improvement in those numbers. By the 80s, though , with the health fad & more PSAs (public service ads) the numbers came down quick. In Canada the estimate is less than 25%. Remember, once a smoker, likely always a smoker. And if I remember correctly, there is some concern about the way certain CIgarrette ads seem to target kids. Seems Big Tobacco is concerned about the difference between the numbers who quit or die, & the insufficient numbers to replace them. For myself I don't smoke. I did for years "second-hand" smoke though. Much cheaper !

I suppose drinking till you can`t stand up at parties is OK though

Did I say that? And healthwise it is. Your liver can recover from a few years of abuse (so my biology teacher tells us). Although if you carry it on throughout your life I guess you're a bit screwed.

I do smoke. Regularly, not just at parties, and I know that it's bad for me, etc. etc. I also would advise anyone who is not a smoker to never smoke, even at parties, because you are right, that can lead to addiction. I also drink regularly, and that's pretty bad for you too. Drinking doesn't just affect your liver, but your heart, blood pressure, etc. That being said, your last comment about being screwed if you drink throughout your life, don't you think we're all screwed anyway? The very act of breathing means that at some point we are going to cease breathing, even if we stay away from all vices, drinking, smoking, sex, red meat, eggs, and the list goes on and on. Vices may shorten our lives, and may in some circumstances make the manner of death more unpleasant (although I don't think there is a pleasant way to die), but the fact is that in 100 years, all of us on this board will be dead of one cause or another. But without vices, I think the years we spend here would be pretty boring.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.
