Gonna Try to Quit Smoking
« on: January 09, 2004, 12:51:47 PM »
I am 29 now and started smoking when I was 14, I have never tried to quit before.  I know I cant go cold turkey so I am gonna try that Nicoderm patch.  Any other previous smokers tried this?  I heard hypnotism works pretty well.   Any thoughts or suggestions?

Go cold turkey - much easier than with a patch.

Patches and gum will **** you up even worse because they contain way more nicotine that you find in cigaretes.

After you wean yourself off the butts, you need to wean yourself off the patch.

Just stop smoking.

Hanging out in strip clubs should cure you of your nicotine addiction.  Hey, what have you got to lose?  At best, you'll be cured. At worse, you'll just be stuck with watching naked chicks gyrate around a brass pole.

NOOOOOOO!!!!

Please don't quit, it is people like you that keep me in a job (my wife too, she is a nurse)

Please think twice about quiting, support your local ambulance service, keep sucking down the cancer sticks!

Man if the world gets on a health kick and quits smoking and drinking I'm out of a job......

No, you'll always be employed. People still haven't learned to not be stupid.

A firecracker?  No, why would I put a firecracker in my mouth?

Pick up a couple of new hobbies that will require close to 100% focus/attention. Keep your hands and mind busy.
It is during idle time that most attempts at quitting addictions are lost.

It was, but I dont understand what a firecracker has to do with anything - let alone one in my mouth.

That'd be kinda... ah... dumb.

So, when Medicboy says "If people quit smoking and drinking I'll be out of a job" and I say, "Don't worry, people can't stop being stupid" you thought what?

How many times do you hear about someone doing something retarded? Putting gasoline on a grill and lighting it? Holding M80s in their hands and setting them off? Or hell, just getting on top of a car with no one driving it and pretending to surf?

There are stupid people out there, no smokers and drinkers won't put Medicboy out of a job.

Ah, I see.

I was assming that smokers and drinkers were "stupid" and smoking a cigarette was akin to putting a firecracker in your mouth.

I did smoke 20 years and now I've been without cigs about two weeks.
Didn't think quitting before; I just run out of Camel Lights at Sunday morning and thought "okay; that was enough".
Haven't used any chewing gums or other nicotine products.

Just quit it.
