Who here smokes? I do, about a half a pack a day I have been smoking for 15 years, and Im only 29 years old.  I'd like to quit, but wouldn't know where to start! All of my family smokes. We have more smokers than non-smokers. My husband hates it! He thinks its disgusting, he gags if he smells it. I always tease him, because he met me with cigarette in hand. I smoke outside only, and I make my own cigarettes to save some money. I have a little machine, tobacco, and some papers with filters attached. For about $30 I support my habit all month. Im a little worried, because my moms mom died of lung cancer when she was 40. All the diseases you can get just from smoking is horrifying. So do you smoke? Did you used to? How did you quit?  |

I have been smoking since I was 13yrs. old. I did actually quit once 4 about a yr. & ahalf. What made me quit was getting pregnant.  Smoking made me nautious, so I quit easily. I don't suggest gettin' knocked up as a solution though. lol GOOD LUCK! |

I'm a smoker. I smoked for about 17 yrs. I tried to quit one time for 7 days, smoked again and never thought of quiting anytime soon, lol. I drank quit smoking medicine (forgot what its called) and it made me feel horrible. My dad was a smoker, most of my friends are smokers, so it's hard to quit. I smoke when I'm happy, sad, stressed, I smoke after a meal, I smoke when I first wake up in the morning, recently I develop a habbit of smoking while spinning on slots, lmao. |

I too smoke, I fluctuate between store bought and self-made. Sometimes I roll or use the tubes. Those packing amchines don't always work great though.
I'm so stressed now with the school (Only 2 nd day so far) and can see that I'd be worse off (I'm guessing) if I was to quit now. Though I might try to, I am not too sure I can.

Sisters and brothers, I am all with you! Here in Germany these "health" big brother guys are also all over us. A pack of cigs comes now for 4,25 euros (about 8 usd) and I switched to "building" them myself (about 2 usd per pack). And do you now what: they even taste better! I started smoking back in the seventies with Lucky Strike without filters. Then these cigarettes had about 2 mg of nicotine and tons of tar. You actually got yellow fingers from them:-) Today in Europe (European legislation) all factory cigarettes are not allowed by law to have more than about 0.8 mg of nicotine and soandso tar. So all the legal, "standard" cigarettes are nothing but a scam version of those scam "light cigarettes". A scam of a scam, think about it and enjoy! Spent hundreds on "internet cigarette purchasing" without ever getting a single cigarette. Even had to pay taxes on this. GRR! Then I discovered diy and I love it. Better value for your money and you can make them as strong as you like. You can actually control it by reducing the amount of tobacco that you put in the stuffing machine. And - at least in Germany - the tobacco is still natural. Processed tobacco for factory cigarettes is full of artificial ingredients to make it "tasty" in spite of all the regulations. Keep on rolling, stuffing. Your diy-cigs do not only taste better, they are even healthier to you and your budget! |

Ok I can finally say I'm a "non-smoker" after over 20 years of smoking Virginia Slims Menthols.My Dr. put me on Wellbutrin about a month ago,and I have not smoked for 3 weeks,the only side effects have been sleeping less which actually is a good thing for me,before I was on Zoloft for 10 years and it made me sleep really late,and I felt like I was going thru the motions in life,now I feel more alive and have joined a health club,have been dating a man who I am absolutely crazy about and look forward to what is yet to come,to be honest I still have cravings but I ordered an electronic cigarette which I will post the results soon.FYI I opted to order a "disposable" e-cigarette which is less than 20 bucks,as opposed to a permanent one which can cost anywhere from 50 to 100 bucks.If anyone is interested here is the link...... http://www.e-cigarettedirect.com/categories/CLEARANCE/ |

I still smoke but some of my friends stopped smoking from one day to the other and now i am thinking about what to do... In germany you can get a special one time injection (75,- €) at a certain doctor. It's totally homeopathic (natural, nothing chemical), stops the impulse and the addiction to smoke instantly and I was more than sceptic but my friends really don't smoke anymore (one of them was a heavy smoker for more than 30 years) !?! really I mean they save a lot of money and no question it's better for the health but damn, I like to smoke really... What would you do? If you're interested you can take a look at www.neurasan.de but as far as I know it's only in german... |
