quit 30 years now. quit because it was killing me. other corps are still trying.
Tobacco is one of the worst drugs ever. The best part is staving off the effects of addiction.
I’m so happy that I’m on 10 years without cigarettes.
Montezuma’s revenge
I smoked from the time I was 15, until I was 33. I got a prescription for something called Chantix that worked really well for me to quit permanently.
It worked well for a few people I knew, but one guy said it made him really depressed / suicidal.
Chantix isn’t available anymore because of something that was in it that might cause cancer, but there’s a generic form of it called varenicline that may or may not be available in your country. Ask your doctor maybe if there’s a pill that will help you quit.
This reads like a Pharma advert.
Yeah, this worked well for me, too. The generic one you mention also had less side effects for me. There’s still the vivid dreams / nightmares, but less intense.
From Chantix /Champix I recollect the spider dreams and floor crumbling beneath me.
But hey, anything to quit smoking.
tfw you share balcony with smoking neighbour and all smoke goes to your room where you work…
It would suck if windows didn’t close.
Not everyone has decent ventilation.
Don’t forget that smokers also get to ruin other people’s meals at restaurants. Not their own meals mind you - just the meals of others.
Where I live, you’re not allowed to smoke in bars or restaurants.
Also in the outside section? If yes I applaud your government for implementing the rule properly, not half-assed like in Germany.
I thought you wheren’t allowed to smoke inside anymore in Germany?
Smokers are still allowed to stink up your food outside. So you may enjoy your food inside in the summer.
Also restaurants are allowed to have an inside smoking section. Most of the time that means you still get to ‘enjoy’ the stink.
Lastly let’s not forget that smokers, when forced to smoke outside, will almost always do so right on the doorstep. So that the stink gets sucked in and everybody gets to enjoy a good second hand smoke.
Just one nail of many in my mom’s coffin
It was the primary nail in my mother’s coffin and her mother’s coffin too.
I’ve read last week that tobacco is radium rich and decomposes to polonium and radon - cigarettes are radioactive and it contributes to its nasty effects on the lungs
Bonus!!
So, smoking could make me a superhero?
WITNESS THE POWER OF MY STAND
diesYes, like Marlboro Man!
they said, while rolling E and smoking weed and drinking borgs :D
Drinking borgs?
Isn’t that what they call them? I’m not 20 anymore so I’m not as hip.
Pffft these kids would die if they drank rocket fuel aka pour all the hard liquor you have into one horrific drink and skull it down.
But if you smoke, you don’t notice other smokers smelling like shit, which is nice.
Guess I should stop showering
I stopped smoking a while ago now… but boy do I miss it sometimes lol.
Don’t smoke kids.
How do you smoke a kid? And what do they taste like?
They taste like unicorns
Tell me about it! I had to accept that part of quitting involved forever missing something, but knowing I’m better off without it.
That feeling will disappear eventually. I rarely even think about it even when I see smokers now. If I’m out drinking though that’s a different story…
Yes, smoking takes years off your life.
But they’re the years at the end…
Man if only that was true. A neighbor across the street is a chain smoker, and I hear him hack up a lung every morning for a couple of hours.
Yeah smoking will make you live shorter, but it’ll also reaaaally fuckin’ ruin your life leading up to that.
This seems to ignore the important facts that smoking is A.) Cool and B.) Sexy.
What an insensitive and utterly vile post. If you understood anything about addiction, which I’ll remind you is a health disorder and not a personal choice, you would be ashamed of yourself. Some of us and our families are really struggling with huge impacts to physical and mental health, our entire lives, from addictions like this. Hope posting this made you feel better about yourself tho 👍
