Stopped for 2 Days when my Lung collapsed, although in 1976 you could still smoke in Hospitals, you could not smoke in your room. Day after they stuck a chest tube in me to drain the fluids from my chest cavity, i walked out into the hallway and had a smoke in one hand and my drainage jar in the other.
And yes, the nurse came by and slapped it outa my hand and told my doctor. He proceded to tell me that if i kept smoking i would be dead in 2 years.
I now smoke 2 1/2 packs a day and have not had a problem with my lung since. Althought they did have to hack a kidney outa me 2 years ago, but thats another adventure all together.
Dog out....

Quitters never win. I tried the patch, but they were hard to light and tasted like crap.

(http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Well... Some of these make your eye brows go up wondering....
anyway. IMO, cold turkey for those that want to. Just don't quit and go on the patch. It's like cancelling your account here and playing H2H (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I have an innate distrust of people who don't smoke.

Used to smoke a pipe while I was new in the Army and Armor. Later I gave it up. I got to watch an Uncle die of emphysema. It wasn't pleasant watching someone you care about die of slow asphyxiation. Haven't smoked since (1979). I really did like the way the pipe tobacco smelled too darnit. One of the strongest memories I have of my Dad was him smoking Sir Walter Raleigh (sp) but he died of complications from his TB when I was 7.
Ya wanna smoke, fine. Please consider the implications on your family though, and smoke away from me!

The only thing I dislike more than a discourteous smoker is an ex-smoker or someone who never smoked barrage me with his sanctimonious self rightousness.

Smoking is important on measuring how good a fight you are having.
You measure the level of a fight by the length of the hanging ash. The longer the ash the better the fight.

Hey Wardog, I'm glad you came out ok. I quit ciggs the same way, but I stayed off. I crashed a motorcycle into a palm tree and broke my back. When I felt good enough to smoke, the nurses put an end to it immediately. I was flat on my back and couldn't get out of bed, so I quit smoking.
But I had a buddy bring me a can of Copenhagen, which I wound up using for years, a far worse addiction than smoking.
I kept snuff in my mouth all the time. I never spit. I kept the can in my sock, and used it all day long, every day and night, and nobody could tell.
That constant nicotine drip really kept me loaded with nicotine. I was so hooked. I noticed tissue changes in my lip, and knew I had to give it up. When I quit, I felt really, really shakey and had to take a day off of work. I did it though. I consider myself lucky ... so far.

Hmmmm, IS this a novel approach to start the first Non-Smoking Section on an Internet BBS?
It makes sense after all... Everyone elses smoke really bothers me in here too!
Cough..Cough.. Please would you guys be more courteous! I come in here to type and read about Aces High Issues.. but I shouldn't have to breath your smoke through the internet!
I agree with you MarkAT (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
