cigarette.

realistically i know i will smoke again if high on certain substances or drunk,

but i am very tired of a nearly half-pack a day habit, getting winded after 3 flights of stairs - being 21 and not overweight - and wasting money.

help me

i say it was my last cigarette because i feel poorly and do not wish to take the elevator down and buy another pack (i would have to put pants on)

quitting is good, and don't worry about smoking when you are drunk or whatever...for me that ends up being like 3 cigs a month

good luck :cheers:

not smoking is going to save you a ton of cash and if you're smart about that your working career will literally be cut by a year or two (i.e. you'll reach financial independence sooner)

plus you get to live longer and not spend as much money on unnecessary health care expenses

just stay completely quit for 2 weeks and it gets a lot easier after that, in my experience

there's a good short story about a company that helps you stop smoking by well basically they follow you around the world and do worse and worse things to you and your loved ones every time they catch you smoking a cigarette. i don't remember the name.

iif you like to smoke socially with pals you might find it hard to just casually say "no no thanks" but if you explicitly say "oh I'm trying tu quit actually" they will probably be very supportive

tao of lmao

yeah whoever above said that the first couple weeks are the hardest was dead-on. it gets sooo much easier after that. best of luck to you, op.

I have some friends who quit because they got the flu or something and didn't even want to smok ebc they were too sick, and that made the first week pretty easy, what I'm saying is do you know anyone who has the flu right now

yeah I'm home/not working for two weeks so I'd rather spend this time on projects and being active I guess. I don't have the "excuse" of being stressed and my smoker buddies are v supportive of quitters so I'd like to get this started now

no but when I'm hungover I find smoking repulsive, so I'm considering getting trashed to get me over the two-day hurdle

I put my thumb up my bum and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth.


When I quit, I was just too lazy to buy more cigarettes. So I enhanced the laziness and now its been two years
