I knew a person who used the patch to wean himself off of cigarettes, and one time he put a couple on him when the adhesive from one or more that he took off was still on his skin, and he woke up with his heart beating rapidly. In my opinion it's all nasty, but there's alternatives instead of ruining your throat and lungs! WHy not just eat some eggplant? Hot about some banana peels? They have nicotine in them. |
| Darkromance Banned Age: - Gender: - Posts: 322 | Cigarettes And Suicide:lol dude it's not like it's a hobby! I don't think you want to do that. it can develop into a physical addiction. My health teacher told my class that his mother smoked, but for the past 20 years or so she hasn't been doing it, even though she's been getting cravings for it. |

| thank fsm. In The Murder Scene  Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 20564 | Darkromance: Okay, so then why are you "thinking of committing to it?" You're right, that does seem stupid. I cannot think of a single legitimate reason in any circumstance (except maybe that you will be killed if you don't and you'd rather live a few more years before developing cancer) to do that, knowing the risks. Not to mention how much it costs. |
| NikkiSixxx Killjoy  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 57 | I'm a smoker, have been for 7 years. I had my first cigarette even before that. My mother quit smoking when she was pregnant for my older brother, but my father smoked as did everyone else in my family. I've been around second hand smoke so long, that when I tried one (I was 7 and stole it from my moms boyfriend) It didnt bother me. From the time I was 7, I would sneak them every few months or so, but I didnt start actually smoking until I was 11. I know, it sounds bad, but when you hang out with 16-19 year olds, you're bound to pick up a few bad habbits. As for you, kill all my friends, don't do it. Take it from a smoker; its not cool. I'm 18 and have chronic bronchitis, along with a slew of throat problems already. I can't run more than 3 minutes, it makes you smell bad, and you're teeth turn yellow no matter how much you brush you're teeth. I've tried quitting a few times, but it's hard. I managed to quit for 3 hours before I was clawing my eyes out. Now, there are two different types of addiction. Mental Addiction Physical Addiction. People with mental addictions to cigarettes THINK they need a cigarette. Their so used to doing everything with a cigarette that it seems impossible to do anything without one. When you drive, you smoke. After you eat, you smoke. These addictions are the easier ones to quit, because you can replace it with something. I have a physical addiction, which is much, MUCH worse. Physical addictions to cigarettes are more at random. You don't fall into a routine of when you smoke, you just do. At random times, whenever you feel like you need one. This is where people become more addicted, because they smoke more. I'm unfortunatley up to a pack or more a day. You need the cigarette, and quitting is unbearable. The reason I only lasted 3 hours is because I started physically shaking from the lack of nicotine. When you smoke for so long, it really does become a part of you. I tried the patch, it didnt work. I smoked a cigarette while wearing it and I felt like I was having a heart attack. Oh, and the gum? It tastes like freaking cement! I tell everyone who's not addicted to just stop before it becomes a real addiction. Okay, sorry, I was rambling. |
| dee dee ramone. Always Born a Crime  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 5369 | NikkiSixxx: i feel your pain. i shake and get angry so quickly when i'm suffering from withdrawal. it's ridiculous. the patch didn't work on me either, and the gum is disgusting. disgusting doesn't even begin to describe it, actually. ergh. i'm almost on a pack a day these days. it's really quite horrible. |
| NikkiSixxx Killjoy Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 57 | dee dee ramone.: I'm extremely irritable when I don't have nicotine. When I was in high school, my homeroom teacher could tell if I had a cigarette or not in the morning by my moods. My boss can tell the same thing. I tried this smokeless cigarette thing to try and quit, but I realized that's just to make you feel like you're smoking. Physical addictions are unbearable. |

| NikkiSixxx Killjoy Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 57 | John St. John: Yes, and its re-chargeable. Don't believe the hype; its supposed to kill you're cravings for one by giving you the taste of it, but it just sucks. |
| Jenny. Moderator  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 19720 | What do you guys think about the whole thing in the UK where they're thinking of banning smoking in cars? |
| Cigarettes And Suicide Bleeding on the Floor  Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 1725 | ^ Well I don't know what Britain's specifics are, but it just became illegal here to smoke in a car if you're carrying passengers under the age of 16. Which I, as a pack a day smoker AND a mother of two, applaud whole-heartedly. I have never and will never smoke in the car if my kids are in it (actually, I haven't smoked in the car at all since I was pregnant, as the toxins absorb into fabrics etc and can have an effect on your kids long after the cigarette has been discarded - which is also why I banned smoking from my house when I found out I was pregnant with my first child and have never allowed a lit cigarette inside my home since), I don't need a law to tell me it's selfish and bordering on abusive to smoke in such proximity to children, but it really makes me sad that others are so blase about their kids' health that they needed to make it a law. One thing that does piss me off regarding smoking in cars, though, is when self-righteous non-smokers bitch and whine about smokers flicking butts out of their windows while driving. Just for the record, I couldn't stub it out in the car's ashtray even if I wanted to stink up my car that badly, as newer cars do not have ashtrays or cigarette lighters installed - if you want to smoke in your car, you have to flick the butt out the window when you're done. |

If were talking about the same thing, there not made to just make you feel like your smoking by giving you the taste, they give you a healthier dose of nicotine without the other toxins present in cigarettes. I know many have features like giving a flavour, and the end lighting up as if its been lit but it should be giving you the nicotine that you crave so that it replaces actually cigarettes and makes it easier to give up eventually - maybe you should try a stronger nicotine solution when you order the things. |
| Go fuck yourself Devil's Got Your Number  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 37823 | Sid: I agree. If someone wants to do it, and thier doing it away from others. People shouldn't throw a fit. Honestly I see no problem in doing it in public parks and such late at night when children won't be out, then it wouldn't be affecting the most at risk people to second hand smoke. I have no problem as long as people don't smoke in places with alot of children right there and if they throw away thier butts. I don't even see a problem in smoking in alleys and streets, cause even if their are people around it would only afect them for what? maybe 10 seconds? |
| Cardboardbox Joining The Black Parade  Age: 32 Gender: Male Posts: 215 | I smoke and so I'm obviously not against it, however with the ban of not smoking inside public places and all is fair I guess, I never did anyway. Still living at home I'm used to going outside to smoke (beside the sometimes lazyness resulting in me sitting by the window in my room and blowing the smoke outside). If people don't like me smoking near them, I would rather they just tell me or move away themselves. If asked nicely I would have no problem to just move away a couple of steps. My car is a smoke free zone, the smell is horrible and I often have to pick up my little sister and drive her (shes four) and I'd rather not drive her around in a car smelling like an ashtray, she wouldn't understand haha. Whats more annoying though is the looks I get, people always think I'm smoking weed and give me hell for it, I smoke amberleaf..roll up cigarettes -_- |
| MCRmusicmonster Really Not Okay  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 612 | My grandpa died form smoking so I'm kinda not into it. |
| try Killjoy Age: - Gender: - Posts: 22 | eh, yeah. i've smoked before, its not too bad though. it's not really addicting, it kind of gives you a headache afterwards. I kinda liked it though, but i don't think i'll ever do it again. I hate smelling like cigarettes. |
| water-cooler-romance Killjoy  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 52 | ive always seemed to love the smell of smoke, i think its because both my parents smoked when i was little. i had my first smoke when i was 15 and my best friend and i found a whole one on the ground, we smoked it together and then this summer she got her friend to pull a pack for us. id only have one mabye every two weeks. I just loved the taste and smell and didn't think of it as addictive. Now i just started dating a smoker of 9 years, so i have been smoking the past two weeks. I am an extremly substance sensitve person and get really buzzed even after one or two drags. When people give me shit about it i tend to say ill probably die of something else, and that i can quit later on if it becomes a problem. I know its bad for me, ive seen the packs and posters and everything else, but at this moment in life i dont really care. |
