Smoking

14

ok, this week i tried to give up smoking, but i couldn't. :redface:

i lasted 5 days, i'm not like properly addicted, i just smoke because i'm bored and out of habit.

also (and i'm not sure if i'm allowed to say this as last time my thread got deleted :frown:

)

i smoke tobacco with other stuff about every other night, and i really am not going to give that up.

so basically this post is a kind of what can i do instead of smoking cigarettes, as i really don't like doing it, but i don't want to totally give up tobacco, as its useful in other ways. :wink:

anyone see my problem?

what are you smoking with it? Because you know, there are other ways of taking things.

You're an idiot. I would accuse you of spoiling good tobacco with that muck, but I really don't think you're using good tobacco anyway.

You say you're 'not properly addicted' but it sounds like you are if you can't go 5 days without a smoke....

Chew gum or suck your thumb or masturbate or something (all three together maybe! :biggrin:

). It's totally killer trying to stop (even if it's just a habit and not physical addiction) but it's worth it. If people you know "go for a smoke" and you'd normally go with them just don't go or if you do make sure you tell yourself you're not gonna smoke.

If you smoke tobacco mixed with it's wacky cousin (wow - that could be a new word for it! :eek:

) then eventually you'll get hooked on it anyway... but I suppose if you're not gonna stop that then try to cut out the cigs.

chew gum. whenever you want a cigarette open and window and breathe deeply and try to destress.

erm, there are other ways to smoke that stuff. i would put it up, but im not sure if its appropriate. you must addicted to tobacco if you cant give up. as for actually giving up, its a bitch. try nicotine patches. but not the nicotine gum, apparently it makes you sick. or just try and cut down gradually at first. if youre doing exams, then now is probably not a good time tbh. wait untill theyve finished, you will much less stressed, so it will be a bit easier.

ok, little update, basically. we've all made a pact to remove tobacco from our lives. (it appears my friends were also experiencing similar fag crazings) so, we've put it all in a bin and i'm hoping that just by not having it around all will enough to stop me from smoking.

hopefully.

Smoking is just plain stupid! How anybody can do it Im not sure. It wouldnt be as bad if you werent smoking other stuff with it aswell, regardless of what it is, three people from my school have died because of the effects of THC (do a search if you dont know what Im on about), all through depression!

whatever....

on a totally unrelated note.
"no one has ever died from smoking ********" :fact

its also impossible to overdose on THC

it makes a few people go crazy, but then going out to a club gets a few people beaten to death.

but this isn't the direction i wanted this thread to go. :mad:

smoking cigarettes is a bit stupid, yeah i know.

hence me wanting to stop. :rolleyes:

You're right yes it it. But believe it or not it can also be quite enjoyable. You could say the exact same thing about alcohol as well seeing as that is also one of Britain's biggest killers, but people still do it because it's enjoyable.

I've made the decision to smoke because it helps me relax and I enjoy it, however, I do make a point of asking those around me if they mind me smoking because it is unreasonable to make other people breathe in my smoke. So yeah, as long as someone is responsible with how they smoke and aware of other people and the risks of doing it..like drinking, then it shouldn't be a problem. You can't tell people they are stupid just because you have a negative attitude towards it, it's a decision that people make.
