616commando Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I'm cig free, for a month and a half, after eight years of a pack a day habit. Not trying to brag, just wanted to show that it can be done. I've saved a bunch of money, and feel a whole lot better. If anyone needs a quit buddy, let me know. I know it was tough for me doing it on my own. Just putting it out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Way to go man! I personally have no problem with people smoking, and get offended when others try and impose on people the view of "you're evil". I don't see anything wrong with it (it's just another way to die) though I myself don't smoke, I get the same effect by breathing in brush fire smoke. Still, I'm happy you've stuck with it!

karamazov80 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Congrats! My dad tried to quit a few years for health reasons, and just couldn't do it. He had smoked since he was about 12, so his brain is hard-wired (of course, your brain chemistry changes the first time you smoke, as the nicotine works its "magic"). Cigarette smoke immediately triggers a migraine headache for me, so following TM's post, I think they should be banned in public places, which thankfully, we are moving toward here. I don't care what someone does as long as it doesn't hurt others, but my migraine headaches are not pleasant. They are actually indescribably excruciating.

wallbreaker2.0 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Good for you Commando. I had my last cigarette Monday the first couple of days were sort of rough but today wasn't so bad. This isn't the first time I've tried to quit but hopefully it will be the last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time it bothers be is when you have both smoking and non smoking, and there's nothing between them. Why separate it at all? How hard is it to put a wall up with a door? The thing that bothers me is some places around here have bans on smoking while on the sidewalk, and other crazy stuff like that. WTF? Where do you want people to smoke at?
