Then, when the doctor says they have a mass in their lungs, they say "what is it from?". Uh, maybe the pack and a half of cigarettes you have consumed over the last 19 years? The they see god. Then they become militant ex-smokers, which I can live with.

I can never understand why smokers just doesn't quit. It baffles me. People overcome heroin addiction, alcohol, etc.

I have to honestly say that everyone who smokes under the age of 50 gets all the "masses" they deserve.

I remember seeing some doctors on the Life network who were treating people with cigarette related lung cancer and they all said that cigarettes are more addictive than heroine. That's why people don't quit. Hell, I've seen people with lung cancer still smoking!!

Myself, my mother, and my girl have all set a quit date for smoking. I'm upbeat I've lost 45lbs. and changed the way I eat and excercise. Now I just need to put the last piece of my puzzle and get rid of that nasty addiction. My new addiction is excercise and I need the cig money for supplements.

No Problem!

I didn't think anyone would respond when I wrote it, but it's still here!

Day 5 without a cigarette... approach w/ caution or risk disembowelment. Whoosah! Thanks for your patience @ this time!

is smoking that bad for people that work-out as beer

[chenshan]

Good points! I was going strictly on experience here, but I found that when I set a quit date, I would constantly push it back a day and then another day until it would turn into a week, month......etc. We should start a quit smoking support thread here! LOL

[klaus42]

most smokers realize that cigarettes are bad for them yet they still smoke. Great advice to quit smoking if smoking was a logical thing people will only quit when they are ready. by the way you only quit once if you go back to smoking a year later it means you only took a break.

I am 11 days smoke free after a 1.5 a pack a day habit for 15 years. I tried the chantix, the gum, the patch etc. I finally said F*** it I need to grow a pair and do it cold Turkey. Its getting easier every day.

Just as hard quitting dipping. Working on it.
It really is amazing how much money you save, when you add it up.

Yes, smoking is harmful to health

Great article, the best quit smoking ones come from prior smokers. Also wanted to share a different view point from #2. Eventhough I thought it was crazy at first when a co-worker shared it with me. When quitting, I couldnt help but find it true. The co-worker explained to me that instead of getting rid of the smokes in the house, to make sure you always had some around. The idea being that if you don't have any, all you are going to do is think about going and buying some. However, if you do have them, you must rely on your self control, and think about that, as opposed to buying more. Just a differnt take, probably not best for everyone...

Indeed. The jury is still out whether or not nicotine or heroin have more addicting reward mechanisms in the brain..

Smoking doesn't has any benefits at all in the end :/

[jicbeatz]

Yes, i'm envy on them too. I tried everything, but....with no success!

Whyquit.com worked for me!!

Once you read and realise what smoking is all about (nicotine addiction)..... You will actually not want to smoke.
Once you don't want to smoke the cravings become unnoticeable. I was a heavy smoker and once I read this website I actually enjoyed the whole process of stopping smoking. Never take another puff!!!!

Its no use telling people to quit smoking, for two reasons:

1. It is impossible for some people.
2. People already know this.

After all, warnings are plastered all over the packets and it doesn't even stop new people starting.

For the smoker, all it does is adds stress. Sorry OP but mentioning quitting smoking to me would just make me smoke even more.

None of it works.

The solution? Get an eCig. I posted an article about it, its just waiting to be looked at by a mod so it appears.

[Manc33]

Guys, I posted an article here a few days ago called "Smoking and Bodybuilding" that went into great
detail about why smokers should switch to the eCig (then hey, at least you can get your health back
whilst you then try to kick the eCig) but the article has not appeared.

Why not?

This is bullschitt.

[f1ghter33]

Very interesting article . i am gonna share it with my friends .. bt dnt knw hw it gonna work on them !!

[Manc33]

It isn't interesting though, its the same thing it always is, telling smokers to quit smoking when its pointless because 99% of them cannot quit.

Just get an eCig, at least then you can deal with the addiction at a later date but still get your health back.

STILL. GET. YOUR. HEALTH. BACK.

Or just carry on smoking, or telling smokers to "quit" doing it. All pointless.

Kinda like telling a heroin addict to "stop taking" heroin. They are just not gonna see it that way mate.

If it was that easy, all addicts would be quitting all drugs they take.

The mistake non-smokers make is they actually think smokers enjoy having to do it.

I am pretty pissed off that my article about the eCig was not even posted here. It said a mod will look at it, but it was never posted.

My article did not advertise vendors, have cursing, anything sexual, or anything breaking the rules and had no spelling mistakes.

Oh well if thats the way it is then I will just save my own life and forget trying to help anyone else.

If you smoke, good luck with that.

[TonyJ187]

you are a loser.

ciggies + exercise = synergy
you're all forgetting how utterly exquisite that post-workout ciggie tastes.

Thanks for the advice. Will give it a try

[CSBK]

Thats a really interesting idea. Would probably work as well.. Clever
