I'd get to the jobsite in the morning. And had a really hard time motivating myself to do anything.
And when you get paid for what you do. Rather then for how long you do it.
Well thats not a good thing.

seems to be common with stop smoke drugs. isn't much fun working with  guys like that, either...

Think i was the one posted that awhile back. If you look at the bottom of the pack you'll see FSC printed there. I agree they sux! I actually smoke more, because instead of my smoke burning out i just pick it up, re light and smoke away.
Kind of a catch 22 there IMO.

3 friggin' old women in my area killed themselves this week smoking in bed.

I can't understand smoking in bed... I just can't. I don't smoke anymore... I'll have one if the occasion calls for it, but I don't smoke on regular days anymore. When I did smoke I never enjoyed doing it inside much... much less in my bed.

and if you smoke 2 packs a day, i think that's a car payment a month.

Hell you could even afford to fill up that diesel F-350 once a month.

When YOU want to quit you will. I did, no chantix, no patch, and no nicotine gum. Just woke up and quit. I did use spearmint gum for the 1st week or two. I quit while my girlfriend kept smoking. I smoked from 17 to 43. I found the habit harder to kick than the addiction.

The one thing I never new about when I was smoking was how bad I stank. If you smoke you stink guaranteed.

the reason:
A friend of mine who at the river with the gang Sep '05, was found up in northern cal Feb 06, not far from a mountain cabin he owned part interest in, he had blown his head off. Turns out unknown to any of us he had severe emphysema from smoking 40 years. He had thrown up blood all the way up the mountain to the small pond where he was found frozen in the snow.
That made me quit. I was done. March '06

 The next year my next-door neighbor got diagnosed with lung cancer from smoking. It was May '07. He would sneak and smoke outside by his truck so his wife wouldnt see him during his chemo treatment. I would chastize, beg, okay it you're life blah blah. Everytime I saw him. He went for a surgery to remove the tube that leads down to one side of his lung. Turned out that his whole lung was bad and they had to take the whole thing. He became septic after that and was placed in doc induced comma. Never made it back. Sep '07 toast.

When you want to quit you will or you can choose not to by sheer lack of willpower, weakness. Al it boils down too.

Safe ciggy's will be coming to your area soon :) they way they work is they make the paper thicker or more dense in some spots so you smoke more paper :) thats got to be good for ya :)

People who need nicotine-substitutes to stop smoking rarely succeeds. You really need to want to quit and must have the willpower to stick with it. The first 24 hours are bad, but then it will get easier for every day that passes. I promised myself that I would quit smoking before I turned 30, and I never break a promise; so the night before my 30th birthday I ceremoniously smoked my last cigarette. That was four years ago.

Sometimes I dream about smoking and wake up feeling guilty ... strange how the mind works.

I have tried to quit many times - have lasted as long as 4 months. The desire for the act of smoking has always won over in the end.

A guy I know said to try Drum - roll your own. He claimed it was not as harmful as Winstons and there was time to take a breath and think about what I was doing.

So, now I smoke Drum and roll my own. I smoke a lot less and a pack of Drum lasts about a week for $3.58.

For the time being, I've found my medium I guess. I smoked Lucky's and Winstons for 50 years. I think that the Drum, roll my own scenario, might be as good as it's going to get.

Annual ct-scans, x-rays show my lungs to be hyper-lucent to this day....

I do not smoke around people who don't smoke - so I hang around with them - I'm doing the best I can...
