| 607752 | 2007-11-02 09:36:00 | Used to smoke, gave up around 3+ years ago. Cold turkey after a long bout of non-stop asthma (3 months non-stop, nothing seemed to work as I was always wheezing... very unusual for me, I think the reason was trying to acclimatise to the colder damp of Taranaki). Also my daughter was only a few months old and I decided I wanted to be around for many years to come (I figured the constant wheezing wasn't good for my lungs and would age them faster than normal). My g/f still smokes however, I don't push it on her to give up, she will when shes ready (as I was) What they say is true, The cravings get futher apart and less severs as time goes on, But they are hardly earth shattering to begin with, Eat an apple, Play a video game.True. ... and people are weak:waughh:)Very true |

| 607753 | 2007-11-02 15:11:00 | When I worked at that hospital in LA a while ago there was a guy in the TB ward...not that he had TB, but it was the best place to put him... Well, anyway...he had cancer of the throat from cigarettes for years and a small chrome button in his throat to breathe...as his nose was missing and so was the upper half of his throat and his lower jaw. He would light a cigarette and unplugging his oxygen from his neck he'd hold it into the little chrome hole in his throat to inhale the smoke. Did I mention the thick brown and green mucus that dripped out of his little chrome hole? He looked so sophisticated and socially cool. :dogeye: |

On another forum (yes I am a forum floozie now, but it is a guitar forum!!) an American guy told me a pack of 20's over there is around 3 . 50USD, even with the conversion he freaked how much we pay (10 . 50 NZD) |

| 607758 | 2007-11-02 16:51:00 | I gave up after 55 years and 20 a day about 18 months ago. I used nicotine gum,which did it for me I still miss the comfort thing after a cuppa.But not hard to resist. I still don't like people who resent other people who choose to smoke,strange buggers. |

| 607760 | 2007-11-02 17:47:00 | I gave up after going to a strange hypnotherapist . . . . I'm the world's biggest sceptic (that's sceptic- not septic) . . . went in there going "Yeah yeah, like this'll work" . Walked out the door after 1/2 an hour and that was it . 1 year almost to the day and I haven't even had a puff, or even wanted one . . . now if someone could just stop me eating :help: Anyway, for anyone thinking of giving up and like me tried all sorts . . . cold turkey, patches, aversion therapy . . . I'd highly recommend the hypno, even if you're a sceptic (seems to work better with no expectations of success) It was so god damn easy it wasn't funny! . Can't say I feel much different, but I did get a new LCD TV out of it and I'm going for Metla's Harley next week :thumbs: |
