POLL: How long does it take you to smoke a cigarette?
*read this* Anyone who is planning on posting an anti-smoking ad or such on here, please don’t because all of us smokers know the risks. By telling us that, you aren’t going to make us quit, only irritate us.

Anti-smoking Ad: Smoking Causes Emphysema, Lung Cancer
I joined the service in 1984 and stayed untill retirement. After retirement I realized that this is not the country I joined up to defend. It seems like anytime someone comes up with something new and a few people rally around it they make it a law regardless of the effect it has on a persons individual rights. You need a gov’t permits for everything now. You can’t smoke, people in NY are saying what you can and can’t eat, I saw in California they are trying to pass a law that says you can’t spank your own kids (a pat on the finger’s and saying no to a toddler will be considered spanking), My 3rd grade daughter has 3 hours of homework everynight so they can meet their goals at school and get the federal money. I guess my question is when do we wake up and realize that the United States is turning into a Ray Bradbury book. How do we stop this slide into the oppression we call freedom.
Most of the people on this site will tell you that the libs gave it away or the repub’s sold it, which ever side they happen to be on. In my humble opinion, the truth is WE gave it up by not participating. Apathy runs rampant in this country, only 30% of registered voters turn out to vote, people don’t write their representatives and the art of peaceful demonstration is all but lost. Until the citizens of America wake up and realize that nobody else can do their civic duty for them and get involved, things will stay the same. People need to take an active part in the whole process before any significant change for the better can be realized. And when voting, for God’s sake, vote for the candidates that have the best ideas for the people, not along party lines or because CNN says they will win, but because they want to do the right thing.
I think it would be a good idea for me to Stop Smoking Marijuana and drinking, The problem is, I have been doing it for so long it is almost as though I have forgotten how to have fun without it. Contributing to this problem is the fact that many of my friends smoke or drink to have fun. Many of my other friends just do not seem to have fun at all; they stay in Friday and Saturday nights to do work. I’ve found it difficult to quit, I think because I’m just not sure of what’s out there to do that’s fun without being stoned or drunk. Can you recommend anything that’s fun whether you’re sober, so that I don’t have to stop hanging out with certain friends if I want to relax and have fun? I know, it’s life and there are a bazillion things to do, so why am I bored? Well, another factor is expense — it costs around $20 to go to a nightclub, for example, and I don’t really like “the scene.” I want to finally enjoy life without drugs ( i just got a really good job and can’t fuck it up!!!
i stopped using hard drugs a few years back and can totally empathize.. it feels like even when you do the fun things that ‘this is gonna suck’. But you just have to make your mind up! try buying a soccer ball or used sports equiptment. Know how to play or not, its still fun to try out with friends. Even if you get high or drunk you know, taking a soccer ball outside can be one of the most amusing things to do! Maybe after that friends might try it sober
has anyone tried laser treatment to quit smoking if so how much did it cost and how well does it work?
I quit smoking 9 years ago with laser therapy. You DO need to go in there with the attitude that you just want the laser to help you but have decided to quit. Just use it as a tool. I paid $150 back then, sat in an easy chair with a pair of goggles on and she lasered all of my fingers, took my watch off and lasered my wrist and also my nose and forehead. You don’t feel anything and they talk to you about the benefits of quitting the whole time. When I left, the first thing I did was reach for my cigarettes…only to discover there was no way I could put one near my mouth! I had smoked for around 25 years! For some reason, after the laser, the thought of putting that cigarette to my mouth was almost obscene..I don’t know why that is. My family said that I was very easy to deal with, I wasn’t sure if I was being a bear or not! For the next week I felt kind of ‘stoned’ all the time and really didn’t miss it that much. They told me that every time I had a craving, I should just massage my earlobe (she lasered that too) and the craving will go away. It worked! They also told me to make sure I got tons of vitamin C and B complex.
A reputable place offers you a second treatment for around $20 if you should fall off the wagon and some even offer a 3rd!
I wish you the very best of luck with this…it worked for both my Father and I…not my Mother though, she died of cancer 2 years ago.
I quit smoking 8 days ago and my lungs hurt, what’s up with that? It feels like I’m coming down with pnuemonia or something similar…
I quit smoking for about 2 years. I started back like a dumdum lol… But, to answer your question. Yes, I had pain that lasted for about 2 weeks. After that I started to breath so much better.
I tell you it is a hard thing to do. Your awesome 8 days keep up the good work and don’t turn back.
Good luck hop this helped you….
