Smoking contributes hugely to heart disease, stroke, various cancers, and

about a million other diseases and disorders.

Seriously, it can be done. Don't quit, just stop.

 

Actually it's my contention that no one ever quits smoking, they just stop.

Why? Because the addiction never leaves you. Smoking recalibrates the

brains serotonin receptors and you never stop craving nicotine after

you're hooked on tobacco.

 

Also, check out the number of additives in tobacco, and their effect.

Most are toxic. There are over 600 compounds that can cause grievous harm

to bodies found in cigarette smoke.

Honestly, what's is the REAL difference between using illegal drugs

and smoking cigarettes. They are all bad for you. Some are legal

and some are illegal. That's IT.

That's bad but I still can't stop. I heard that it speeds up metabolism but

that's not why I'm addicted. My mom always nags me and my dad about smoking

around her because she's not a smoker. She's had like one ciggie in her whole

life. She was raised with non smokers and none of my aunts and uncles on my

moms side smoke but there are some smokers on her side. There's some on my dads

side as well. My grandparents on his side are both dead though.

You can't die as quickly from ciggie smoking as you can from doing illegal

drugs.

Jessika,

 

Stopping smoking is the most difficult thing I ever

did, so I definitely sympathize. I waited until I had

been drug and alcohol free for seven years before I

was able to stop smoking longer than two weeks. I

made four or five failed attempts before I was finally

successful, and I was only able to do it by using

Commit Nicotene lozenges, knowing full-well that the

product was tested on animals at HLS. I will have to

deal with that guilt for a long time. I also had to

go on anti-depressants for a month to keep the

cravings at bay enough to not go back to smoking.

I've been completely nicotene free since July 4, and I

still have to deal with at least one craving (usually

more) every day and probably will for a long time to

come.

 

I smoked for 20 years before I finally stopped, and

there is absolutely no guarantee that I won't start

again at some point. I just know it won't be today.

It's a terrible addiction, by far the worst I've ever

had to deal with on so many different levels.

 

We stopped smoking in March, and I finally feel like

we've gotten most of the stink out of the house, but

the once white appliances, tile and fixtures are

permanently stained a sickly yellow and will all have

to be replaced. We've only lived in the house for

five years, and we only smoked a pack a day a piece.

All the walls need to be repainted, and I can still

smell the stink in some of the clothes I don't wear

very often, even after nearly six months and multiple

washings.

 

My husband had to have his teeth professionally

bleached to get the stains out of them, and we both

had to have a lot of dental work due to the damage

cigarettes did to our gums. We've shortened the lives

of our beloved dogs, who didn't get to make the choice

as to whether or not they wanted to smoke.

 

As far as gaining weight goes, I do have a great tip.

Once I finally gave up the anti-depressants and

lozenges, I started eating a TON. But I no longer eat

refined sugar, I minimize my consumption of white rice

and flour, and I don't eat any dairy at all. I eat a

lot of fruit, a lot of vegetables and a lot of whole

grains. I also increased my activity level, since I

found that it helped with the cravings. I stopped

losing weight (I had been losing about a pound a week

since gain Veg*n), but I didn't gain much, maybe three

or five pounds. And recently, now that the cravings

have gotten more managable and less frequent, I have

stopped eating so much and have started losing again.

 

I get the impression that you are still relatively

young, and I sincerely hope you decide to make the

leap and stop smoking. Not only is it addictive,

cancer-causing, and stinky, but the tobacco industry

is responsible for the systematic torture and death of

thousands of animals in cruel experiements into the

effects of smoking. And, despite the fact that we all

know the risks of smoking today, those experiments

continue.

 

Sorry for the long rant. I just wanted you to know

that you are in my thoughts.

Thanks! I'm still a young adult. I'm 21 to be exact. But been smoking since

13. I might decide to quit one day but then I might not. I exercise as well

but haven't been because of this terrible cold I have. I should get started

back up with it as soon as I can. It's been rather hot where I'm at. I have a

membership to the YMCA but didn't go today because I was still feeling sick and

my abdominals were hurting when I coughed and my chest was hurting when I took a

drink of diet soda. I'm in pretty good shape for someone who smokes. I can

still run 6 miles and do an hour on the exercise bikes. I'm starting to miss

doing that. Our YMCA was closed last week due to them cleaning it up.

let met guess, if it was 13 when you started, it either started with some

peer pressure from your junior high friends, or because you wanted to

experiment & look cool?

same thing on me when i was your age; luckily, i hated the taste of it first

Lori,

Its good to hear a succesful story on quitting smoking. What kind of nerve

pills did the doc put you on to help you through the cravings? My youngest

son goes to 1st grad in a few days and I am thinking of quitting myself. I

always was able to quit when I was pregnet. But something would always make

me start again. Usually something real stressful. Hope everyone has a great

I was on Wellbutrin, which is essentially the same

drug as Zyban. The difference is that my insurance

won't pay for Zyban (kind of stupid if you think about

it), and Zyban is over $125 per bottle. Wellbutrin is

covered by my medical insurance, so it only cost me

$5.00 per bottle. Also, I was on a higher dosage than

what is in Zyban.

 

I was able to successfully stop using Zyban in the

past, but I really didn't have the motivation, and I

went back to smoking six days after I stopped taking

the pills. This time I stopped smoking and started

taking the lozenges. Then I gradually weaned myself

down to two lozenges a day (it took me three months to

get to that point), then went on the anti-depressants

and quit taking the lozenges.

 

All in all, it was a protracted period of fairly

intense pain, and I probably would have saved myself a

lot of suffering if I would have been able to stop

cold turkey. But going through all the pain is one of

the things that keeps me from starting again, because

I don't want to have to go through withdrawals like

that again.

thanks. :) you know how bad pall mall's (the unfiltered kind) made my

clothes smell? blech! add to that the stigma of being in junior high at

the time, and at the mercy of the jocks & preppies. aiee! the horror!

*heh* if i have to put up with cigarettes, i'd much rather put up with the

filtered or herbal type. they don't smell nearly as bad.

I think Black N Milds smell pretty good. My bf bought some foreign kinds and

one of them was unfiltered. I had one of those things and didn't like it that

well.
