Pneumothorax kicked my ass, twice

[Orkar]

The point, dear friend<Gerbick>, is 24 hours.. as bad as it can possibly get... rational thought returns at about 72 hours.

Don't know if your aware but nicotine is considered more adictive that cocaine or heroin. Hmmm ... debating... responding to your comments really helps me get through this stage of esential internal histeria... (this is disgusting but I've thought of going down to my car and seeing if there is a partial butt in the ashtray....) <<Disgusting but any former smoker will understand how I feel>>> Heck I've been here before - the physical chest pains of withdrawal will subside in the next few days. Then I'll simply be tempted by the smell of every smoke on the street.

AAARRRRghttt

going to sign off and Play "Children of the Nile" for a while...

No offense to anyone here intended...

Just Ranting my way away from Nicotine....

I find it very remarkable that my grandfather has smoked since he was 13, and he's 95, and still physically strong and healthy.

[Orkar]

Had a great-grandfather that lived to 108 ... died six days after I was born. Sure he smoked for all that time... Not about to roll the dice that way for myself.

I've always wondered do the companies add more to the cigarettes in the States than other countries.

Being a non-smoker, I'd never know.

It all depends on the tobacco blend and the brand. Regular Marlboro has thesame amount of nicotine, tar, carbon monoxyde et al in the States as in the European countries as far as I know.

I've not touched a cigarette in 24 days now, and it's working out great for me.

I have been trying to stop since my dad died from lung cancer a while back.

that fine but whys that my problem

Why should i suffer?

why should us non smokers suffer cause ur to weak to quit?

[wouter999]

Why should i suffer?

Why should we who have enjoyed some form of education "suffer" because you're too retarded to use decent spelling and grammar?

Why should we smokers (or former smokers) "suffer" from your incredible and completely out of place hyperboles?

Oh, and now that we're on the subject of suffering, why is it that you non-smokers (and forgive me for my generous generalisation) look for every single occasion to rub in the fact that smoking kills?

Are you really that concerned with the health of your fellow citizens? Or is it so that, and I think this is the case, you boost your own ego by making sure everyone knows you don't smoke? Don't get me wrong here -- if you don't smoke, all the more credit to you -- but don't you think smokers know they're doing something potentially fatal?

I'm going to present you with a word that may puzzle you for a few moments. It's a word that, once you understand it's meaning, may relieve you from all your so-called "suffering". That word is compassion. Imagine for a moment that you are addicted to nicotine. Or, and this may be just a crazy far-fetched idea, that you actually like the smell and taste of tobacco smoke. How should a constant barrage of insults and guilt-inducing comments help you quit? If you're really that concerned with your fellow humans, give them some helpful advice instead of insulting them.

why should us non smokers suffer cause ur to weak to quit?

WOW! Good job! You've just succesfully insulted a portion of the population that feels bad about themselves everytime they spark one up. NICE ONE! Have you ever considered doing stand-up? You're material is SO FRESH!!!

that fine but whys that my problem

This one just takes the cake. Random25 tells us his father died from lung cancer which has motivated him to stop smoking (a very noble goal, though a very hard one to achieve) and you reply with this? You are a total and complete tool. I bet you wear purple polo-shirts with the collar popped, drive a Hummer, use too much "product" in your hair, listen to Green Day because it makes you "unique", drink red-bull with vodka, go out every friday and saturday night to "score some chicks", but go home every night empty-handed. Don't you have some weights to lift to cultivate your man-boobs instead of bashing on smokers?




There. I feel much better now.

[silverx2]
