Thinking about pickin up smoking.

[savagebee 10+ year member]

If you smoke, you drink. It's required.
I am hoping to quit smokin soon, I'm dippin more now just tryin to get off the smokin. I'm not a huge fan of dipping and know I can quit it, but the smoking is hard for me to step off.

And I figured he was focking around but hey, I'll throw it out there. Anyone have any great ideas other than cold turkey? I know there's a shot somewhere

Its a temporary happiness and joy

isnt life temporary happiness and joy?

As the title says. Everyone around here smokes. My roommates both do. They always seem so happy when it comes time to have a smoke. I can always use any extra joy in my life. Not to mention they always have something to talk about. On top of that i get bored a lot. It would give me something to do and possibly greatly improve my multi-tasking skills. The price of ciggys doesn't bother me much either... especially when i'm spending 3-4 dollars a gallon on gas.
Wish me luck!

Anyone on in this thread that says it's a good idea to smoke is ****ing retarded. That is second to being extremely immature, having the nerve to try and convince someone to smoke. I used to smoke. From about age 15 to 22 regularly (pack a day at least). Makes you feel cool and grown up at first but then it gets to be a pain. First, if you live somewhere cold you find yourself punishing yourself by going outside to smoke because you can't convince yourself it's not worth it. You'll freeze your *** off numerous times a day because you can't stop. When it's hot, not as bad, but if you live in Death Valley adn you have to smoke outside then same thing. Second, people who smoke stink. I never realized it while I was smoking and after a couple weeks of quitting I started to smell it. It was awful. Third, kissing a smoker when you don't smoke is disgusting. I'd rather kiss a chick that dipped. If your girlfriend doesn't smoke, consider her feelings. Fourth, the price of a pack of smokes is rediculous. And there isn't a "ill just buy them when I can afford them" attitude. Once you get hooked, and that doesn't take long, you will buy less groceries to afford cigarettes. You'll buy smoke before you buy food, gas, and pay bills just so you know you will have your cigarettes. If all else fails at least you have those trusty cigarettes (sarcasm). Fifth, the health hazards. Your blood pressure goes up, you increase the risk of heart disease, emphasema, risk of cancer, risk of stroke, risk of heart attack, lower lung capacity (short of breath), you hack up phlem all the time, I've even coughed up blood. That should be enough to knock some sense into you. If that doesn't do it remember this. If you do start and it takes you years to learn what i just typed, you will not be able to quit as easilly as you think you will. EVERYONE thinks they can quit when they want to. But they can't.

didnt read.

Also, I quit on a whim. Smoking is fine unless you're dumb enough to not understand basic grammar.

Takes like 3 minutes to read. And if you didn't read it, why did you quote it?

smoke 'em F Ya got'em.

less places to light up nowadays. usually smoker places are easy to find similar minded people.

don't forget that it gets expensive when you go for the engraved lighters, crystal ashtrays, gold cutters and 6000 count humidors too on top of your tobacco stash.

I prefer to roll my own. I am on a big corn tassle kick right now. Much flavor in them.

That is what I did, and then I went somewhere and couldnt dip. It was for 3 days, I said hell I havent dipped in 3 days why start. And then a guy left a can of Straight in the truck I said the hell with it and dipped it and it didnt last 30 sec.. I spit it out and quit for about a year...

If you do dip and stop for some reason and want to start back, when you start back try getting something that you absolutely HATE, dip that for a sec and it helps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Smoke cubans baby. If not cubans, then at least have some good CA cigars i.e. CAO Gold, 5 Vegas (classic, gold, miami), romeo y julieta reserva real, padron 1926, gran habano, etc. the list goes on and on. Best thing is, it's more of an experience to smoke a good cigar, and they aren't really addicting.

But that's the difference between cigar smokers and cigarette smokers. One is an addiction, the other is a hobby.
