Congratulations! I've been smoke free too! Go us!!!

We are all the richer, both physically and financially.

I'm really glad to see a lot of people quitting

My dad smoked for 35 years straight. Last year, he got emphysema and is currently on oxygen, he said that he pretty much smoked anything you could think of.

Smoking today apparently isn't what it used to be. Back then it was "normal" for people to smoke, because they didn't know the consequences. That's karma for ya.

But today when people smoke, most teenagers do it because they want to be "cool" and tell all their friends that they smoked a joint.

I'm never going to smoke in my life, it's obviously horrible for your system, I look up to my dad as an example for that.

Great job! Packs are up to around $9 here now. I don't know how so many people can still afford to smoke.
Grats, man.

i could never see myself smoking. the taste is horrible and it doesnt make me feel any better than when i wasnt smoking. it doesnt calm me down either

guess i have to smoke more to feel good

**Emo_Saur_** · 01-13-2011, 11:18 AM

I've smoked for a while now, no intentions of quitting. I tried quitting for a week, and in that week I literally gained 4 pounds. It's helps control my eating habits, and I'm addicted you could say. Grats on the qutting though, I'm jealous of anyone who didn't start smoking in the first place.

I used smoking as a way to keep my weight down but I was gradually gaining weight as the years progressed. My weight has been much more stable since I quit...I gained weight in the beginning and then it dropped off.

AHhhhhhhhh ya

**cry4eternity** · 01-13-2011, 01:11 PM

I've never smoked anything and the entire idea bugs the crap out of me. It makes no sense why anybody would start.

When I pass somebody that is smoking I will purposefully cough loudly because I don't appreciate having to walk in contaminated air due to somebody else's stupid choice. I also absolutely hate the smell.

Grats on quitting though. I know many people who have tried and failed. That's just another reason not to start, I suppose.

**HoneyMelonCalibrator** · 01-13-2011, 01:16 PM

I still never really understood why people even decide to start smoking. Not only does it put your health at risk, but it also kills your wallet. Almost everyone I know who smokes agrees that they were better off before picking up on the bad habit.

Anyways congrats on your non-smoking streak. Continue to keep us updated

Roll your own cigarettes. Cuts the price.

Carton of tubes: $3.
Bag of tobacco: $18.
Machine: depends, but the really good one is $40 and it lasts a really long time.

krunky paid about $25 for cigarettes for a month before he started to quit.

Rubin0 · 01-13-2011, 01:43 PM

The only thing that I miss about smoking is how many friends you make when you are standing in adverse weather trying to light a cigarette and there are other people in the same predicament.

adversity breeds companionship

also, i smoke.

when i picked it up i was smoking all the time, pack a day type shit, but once you clear the concepts up in your mind to where you don't have to smoke everyday or all the time, you learn to enjoy cigarettes at suitable times.

**25thhour** · 01-13-2011, 02:09 PM

I was addicted to caffeine then one day I randomly decided to quit drinking pop and anything with caffeine. I felt like crap for the first few days and now I feel fine. It's been like 7 months now. You can doo it.

btw, I know no caffeine is nothing like quitting smoking.

Rubin0 · 01-13-2011, 02:58 PM

I actually know a girl who is addicted to Coca Cola. It's the caffeine and when she doesn't drink any she gets terrible terrible headaches so I do believe it's comparable.

youre a tool cot damn what a loser my 17 year old sister used to do this when she was 14-15 get real du

ya the outside smoking communities are pretty cool. hardest part for me when i try to quit is being at a party and trying to hang outside with the smokers and not smoke a cigarette.

when you said you know a girl addicted to Coca Cola i thought you were talking about something a little more addictive haha. my addictive personality has me hooked on coffee/espresso tho, a day without a pot of coffee or 3-4 shots of espresso is hellish

Welcome to my world <3 I haaaaaaate when krunky smokes in the car and it comes right back in the window and over to my side of the car. I guilt trip him on purpose ;]

I'm kind of the same way, except I don't cough loudly, instead I'll just walk really fast and cut the person off. You'd be surprised the lack of respect people in the city have.. just smoking while walking down the sidewalks, with no concern for the people walking behind them. Shit pisses me off.

scientific · 01-13-2011, 03:45 PM

hope youre joking

Cant believe those people smoking on the sidewalk!! of all places; the sidewalk! how could someone have the nerve to smoke Outside On The Sidewalk... gosh no respect for anyone
