I've heard a good way to give up smoking is to pick up heroin. I'd check that out if you are serious about this.

Good luck, Bazariah. Giving up smoking is difficult, and it's going to be a long hard road of sneaking a smoke here and there.

Good luck Baz. :D

Good luck dude, you have my support, and love.




Posted by GameMiestro

Good luck... I always thought nicotene patches were one of the harder ways to quit smoking.

You're going to suffer.

It's ver yahrd to do. Just stick your mind to it. And keep in mind my grandfather died because of smoking. And so many others too!




Posted by Roger Smith

Your the **** Baz, you can do it.




Posted by Cronoan

I'm with Rogey. Good luck, my dad was able quit with the patch a while ago, you've got this. :cool:

Although I don't envy you. :(




Posted by Roger Smith

Oh wait...if Baz quits....I'll have to remove smoking Baz from my sig and get a non-smoking Baz in there!

Best of luck. My significant other quit a few weeks ago, and he says to tell you smoking a cigar every week or so, (progressively less, of course) helps.




Posted by Klarth

Good decision. Best of luck to ye, baz.

Ambitious, ain't ya. But best of luck.

But you know what they say - "Quitting smoking's easy! I've done it six times already!"

If I can do it, you can do it too.

YEAAAH for quitting. This world wants you to live long time. Or this site anyways.

Lifesuckers.

Well, before you effectively quit, make sure to get some good pics of you with fags in your mouth. Since you won't be sucking on fags ever again, you'll need to get some good pics now.

How I quit smoking:

Everytime I wanted a smoke, I shot myself in the foot with a crossbow. It only took like three hours to quit completely. :)

I wondered how you could swat flies with your feet.

You didn't give up when you had to load 160 pounds of weight, or was it one of those crossbows where you don't have to load it manually.

Baz, go with the heroin idea.

Good luck. Don't give into the cravings.

I always thought a cigarette dangling from someone's lips looked stupid rather than "badass" or "cool." Same with gum chewing. If someone went out into the world with a toothbrush hanging out of their mouth, it would look less idiotic to me, because at least its a symbol of hygiene rather than self-inflicted harm. I'm glad you're quitting.




Posted by Iris

Comparing chewing gum to cigarettes? =/

Good luck quitting. It'll be difficult.




Posted by Raptor

No, Amy Rose, I just commented that both habits look stupid to me.




Posted by mis0

Dressing up in synthetic fur which releases harmful emissions in manufacturing processes, and also afterwards, always looked stupid to me.

But I never mentioned it.

Dude, didn't you know? Killing yourself is cool these days! People on MySpace are doing it, and everything!




Posted by mis0

Oh, really? Maybe that's why I was suddenly popular when people saw me with that box cutter. I was seriously only cutting boxes!! -_-;;

You killed the implicit funny.

well i officially commenced on my quest to quit at midnight this monday, and so far im doing very well.. i finished my last cigarette at 11:59pm monday night... i had a few cravings for one about an hour later, this was quashed by going to bed..... i woke up today gone 12:30 in the afternoon, which was nice as i had no work today.. had a shower and then placed my nrt patch on, watched batman forever on dvd, then went out for a walk.. had a couple of pangs as it were, but found clicking a pen to be relaxing... got home after my walk and post office visit, then had a meal.. went to my no smoking group and explained about the days proceedings and such like.... i had a carbon monoxide test done this week (had one last week too) last weeks result was about a 25, i did much better this week as i got a 0-1 which is an average for a non smoker... i put the money i would've used for smokes in a jar in coin form, when it comes to the end of the month im going to buy myself a nice lil present... im not thinking this is going to be easy, but im definetly putting myself to this and i know im gonna feel like crap and get a bit tetchy, but im not going to put a cigarette in my mouth... i hope...

thanks to all of you for your kind words supporting me.. raptor is right in what he said a cigarette dangling does look stupid, i looked at people today with that in mind... i also thought about a cute lil bunny rabbit smoking, picture that in your mind doesnt that seem dumb? it did to me lol




Posted by maian

Sounds like you're doing well. I always have respected people who can quit smoking. Good luck in continuing your quest. :cool:

Posted by bazariah

well i've been smoke free since monday, it'll be a week tommorrow night :D

it's not been easy, but it hasnt been too difficult either... im feeling loads better for it too




Posted by Demonblade

I see someone at work quit smoking every week. Although quitting is roughly defined as a five day break, followed by a two day smoking binge accompanied by a healthy consumption of alcohol, which most likely falls on a weekend.

Ive never smoke...and probably never will....

Count yourself lucky. A lot of people literally can't survive without it.
