Are you ready to quit now?

Learned that in 1st grade

Time to light one up and think about it

Same here.

smoking kills people :( thats why i dont smoke!

getting there, fucking worst shit ever...
im down from smoking a pack a day to smoking 3cigs a day after 5 years, real soon gonna cut that off completely, been feeling bad after lighting one up last few days - which is good in my case as it helps not to light one up very often.

Imna go burn one as soon as i get off the can.

You are posting from the can? Why?

i wish i can quit :(

no but i will light one up right now for you.

You know what? I am glad you posted that, I just quit !!!!!
Thanks to you !!!!

Thank you

Let me send you a few cartons :thumbsup

Why not...

Week 2. 100 Pounds heavier.....

Its like those bloody ads on TV - they stress me out so bad that the first thing I do is reach for the packet to calm myself down.

Its all this fucking anti-smoking shit that is killing me!!!

I have that thing posted on my door back in college. :)

I quit smoking more than a year ago and never felt better!

Just quit 3 months ago after smoking for 8 years :thumbsup

haven't tried smoling yet...

that's smoking..
anyway, i'm gonna show that info to some of my relatives who are chain smokers...
i hope that would encourage them to quit smoking

down from 1 pack to half a pack a day, hard as fuck to quit but thanks for the reminders

i just quit back on sept 6th... im finally feeling a bit more energetic these days

I do not smoke only because when i got pregnant i felt sick when i smoked. After that i was breast feeding and it was harmful for my kid and now - because i understood that it is no good.

Still waiting for the last 3 points to happen :)

If I quit, I will live for more than 50 years hehe.

It's been two years since I had my last stick. :thumbsup

i'm definitely quiting! i have no cigarettes here... i bookmarked this thread and i'll print it out a bit later! thanks for sharing! :thumbsup

I'm just glad to see I'm not the only what that has an, um, "office" in there so I don't miss anything.

:helpme

fuck i need have a smoke and think about this shit.

You smoked while you were pregnant????:(

wow, things really do get better...:)

I'll read this when i get up and see if it works over a cup of coffee.

Smoking sucks.

I'd hate to even go out with a smoker...

I dont smoke, drink, or do any drugs. Porn and some sweet lovin is all I need in my life. Well ok, I drink a little :)

Smoking's bad, mmmkay.

Whatever stress causes more heart attacks then ciggarretes.

Not to mention stress causing over eating the real problem with the world. I mean over eating itself is bad but the low self esteam that comes with it will prevent most from excersising which is the best thing you can do to stay healthy.

So smoke in moderation, but excersize daily and stop stressing out. LIFE IS NOT SAPPOSE TO BE EASY these complicated times is how we can enjoy the last couple decades doing almost nothing.

And the best health tip you will ever get...

Drum roll...

Drink VINAGER, one shot a day. apple vinager is the easiest to take down.

Im going to stop masturbating from this moment till forever

I started smoking a year and a half ago, with small cigars, was *REALLY* anti-smoking before I met my hubby, but then wanted to learn to inhale smoke so I could enjoy the occasional joint. I sure did! We moved to England and at the airport I noticed they didn't have my brand of cigars and that I couldn't go an hour without smoking, so switched to cigarettes. Oops!

Only recently I have started to notice the effects of smoking on my health, and I am ready to quit. I have a few great examples in the family of what smoking will do to your health/looks, but thanks for posting that, I think I'll print it out :)

I stopped 3 years ago, one of the best decisions i've ever made...

I'm on my 3rd week when I last puffed. No nicotine patch, medication or whatsoever.

haha! :thumbsup

i remember when those "truth" commercials were just starting and seemed to be on all the time. whenever i would learn a shocking fact about cigarettes/smoking, i would light up a cigarette immediately to contemplate what i had just learned.. i couldn't help it.. it was like a reflex.

Smoking is dangerous to health that's why I don't smoke.

nice info...if you stopped smoking right now, you'll have more time for your loved ones :winkwink: another year added to your life

Great post..........In one year from now, my "risk of having a stroke returns to that of a non-smoker.". Looking forward to it:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Because it made YOU sick??:mad: :mad: That's the only reason you stopped smoking?!?!

Well....at least you gave it a try:( :( :(

Bump to stop smoking :)!

yeah this is a great idea :)

omg... are you fucking retarded? Smoking while your preggo is a serious threat to the unborn child... and breast feeding a newborn and smoking... jesus.. You should be stuffed into a canvas sack and beaten with a bat.
