The quit smoking thread

Not only did you fuck up the spacing on this thread horribly, that link is also bullshit.

The first three books on the list are available at Amazon for Chrissakes! I didn't bother going any further than the third one.

Think you need to do a little more "research" buddy.

Straw: IGNORANT because "gift from God" would imply a belief and, further, a reverence for God, and yet I going to guess that Straw's been in a place of worship (and I don't mean anywhere where there's a joint) exactly once in the time I've known him, and that was at my wedding. (OK, so that's a pretty weak basis for throwing around the I word.) Also, I would suspect that the pleasure of a cigarette is more in the easing of the addiction that of the cigarette itself.

I especially like the way smokers claim that cigarettes "relax" them - but it's only because they get the jitters and go into withdrawal if they don't smoke!

JQW Bunker: IGNORANT for continuing to harp on Ritalin. (s)He's being as boorish as Nessman yammering on about "father rights" - no one is debating that Ritalin is nasty stuff, and there's no way any future child of mine is going to be put on drugs because (s)he's being rambunctious like a normal kid is supposed to be.

You might as well debate about whether an STi or an Evo 8 is a better car, then have another guy pop up over and over with "a Diablo is faster than either one!", which may be true, but has no place in the debate at hand.

And, how did this turn into a debate? Straw, I'm pleased as punch that you're quitting and I wish you the best. I'm always happy to see people quitting smoking, though regrettably few of them kick the habit for good. (Loafergirl managed to quit completely, then started up again a month or two later... wtf?)

Great, then we all agree. Good for everybody.

SRY
I didn't expect anyone to reply to my little comment there. I've made the comment numerous times before. You know this is the kind of board were you can just throw in "those fucking jews" and not get hassled. Then that self proclaimed freedom fighter came down and wrestled you all out of my tyranical grasp. One more victory to freedom, no money to war torn countries, no relief to the suffering, and no real fucking change in the world at all except for Casual's hand patting his own back.

Okay, so Straw how is smoking going for you? I was thinking about starting up because it looks cool ... seriously.

Dude to the fact that this topic alone cost me most of my tightly regimented one hour on the public library internet access. I feel compelled to post. Sadly, after having to endure all that non-sensical droning for 4 FUCKING PAGES! my brain has liquified inside it's skull and I have to attempt to make my way home so I can stick my head in the freezer to thicken my brain back into a semi-solid state.

Or better yet, I can just have me a smoke and do the same exact thing as the freezer trick, only I'll look soooo much more cool. Standing outside the library, reading Neal Stephenson, smoking like I actually know what the fuck this book is about. Yup...Smoking it is.

I haven't read the fourth page, but here are the cliff notes for the first three.

(Apologies to whydirt, who did this better):

Fags!

I should quit... I have quit, but I always start again. My peice of advice DON'T use Zyban, bad things... when I upped the dosage I broke out in hives.

What most people don't realize is that smoking is not just some icky habbit, it has it's own social behavior, if a stranger is a smoker you can strike up a conversation... that's half the reason I know ANYTHING going on in other departments at work.

And the bar laws are bullshit. When the entire bar goes out for a cigarette break at once, something isn't right. It's one thing to require sperate ventalation, an entirely different thing to fucking BAN it.

So I was invited to an old coworker's going away party yesterday. Between that and my decision to go to my favorite bar afterwards, I've smoked a bit more than a pack of cigarettes between yesterday and today.

Now I have to see if I can go back to healthy lifestyle living.

Since I now only smoke when drunk, and I now only get drunk 1-2 times a week instead of every night back in what I call 'my youth' (last month), I have to really work hard to get my poisons on when I do indulge. EXAMPLE: Saturday Night. The metal pool hall. 12 songs. 8 games. 5 wins. 4 drinks. Doubles. And! 1 pack of smokes. All that, plus a Buffalo win and the promise of a forthcoming curry, and it's been a pretty good weekend.

I never smoke on the principle that I am part of the smoke free class of 2000. It was a little play that I did in the 5th grade. Really though the reason I don't smoke is because it's a ridiculously expensive habit and I don't like the way smokers smell.

I did smoke pot twice just to be "on the in". I really didn't like it. My friend made me smoke a cigarette first to understand the physics behind smoking. The cigarette tasted like a dirty sock. I am glad I don't like it. I am too much of a cheep skate to take up that habit. I'd rather be addicted to masturbating like I already am.

Yeah, I smoked a few this weekend. Not a pack, and I didn't buy any but the weekend is over and I'm not planning on getting more today. Woot.

Seriously, this IS funny and you maggots will accept it.

Violet: Probably isn't really a chronic masturbator but face it are you that confident that you could stop her if she was?

Casual Observer: A freedom fighter.

ROCKER: A jailed man ladies! He would be happy to smell a tissue you blew your nose in!

Okay, I give up. It's not that great.
