Because they were making me too happy.

We can't have that now, can we?

I smoked for a decade then realized I'm too smart to smoke so I quit cold turkey.

That was about 12 years ago.

Uh I quit before I really got "addicted" It was more of a phase that was part of a very drunk summer/junior year of college.

I guess I quit cause it smells awful, its not attractive, it's very expensive and it was something I didn't really want my rents to find out about.

I quit shortly after my friend torched his bed while falling asleep with a cig in his hand...I figured he was way smarter than me so it was only a matter of time I would do something that stupid.

after you quit your body can repair itself. your body doesnt just stay at that level of damage permanently. it immediately starts to repair the damage. your body is one incredible piece of engineering at times and constantly battles you on a lot of choices you make that may be detrimental. kind of like if you quit eating saturated fats, your body can start working off that excess layer rather than have to keep dealing with the daily intake, it starts working on the unhealthy reserves.

personal risk outside of higher risk of cancer, somer other reasons are:
high blood pressure, high cholesterol (smoking reduces good HDL), stroke, coronary heart disease, heart attack, chronic bronchitis and emphysema, tooth decay, gum disease, chronic bad breath, osteoporosis, ulcers, and diabetes (smoking causes insulin resistance)

social aspects: rising health care costs, second hand smoke. im not going to rely on the social aspects cos us non smokers do some fucked up stuff to increase health care costs as well. if you stand on a corner in downtown san francisco in peak hour of business breathing in everything around you then second hand smoke will be the least of your worries. i completely disagree with the militant attitude non smokers take against smoking saying its killing them too. oh for fucks sake if you take that same non smoker and examined their lifestyle you'll see that they make thier own choices that can be just as or even more detrimental to their health than your smoke. if someone is complaining about your second hand smoke risking their health while they are gorging down a big mac, biggie fries and biggie cola then its ok to laugh at them for being an idotic douchebag. those few whisps of smoke from your cigarette is harmless compared to the fat they are voluntarily ingesting. the social aspect would actually encourage me to smoke because i dont like some pussy assed, patchuli smelling, self proclaimed messaiah of activist causes tell me how i should or shouldnt live my life and few things give me as much pleasure as making those types of people unhappy.

"youre killing me with your second hand smoke!" he said as he takes one last shot of wild turkey before getting behind the wheel. some smokers are continuing to smoke to spite the crowd of self righteous bigmouths. a simple, hey please would You Mind not smoking right nowwill go a lot further and get far better results. i know this because ive done it and thanked by smokers for being pleasant about my protest. my recurring freeones theme is diplomacy goes very far. so the social argument is just that...an argument, nothing more and actually works against itself.

if you quit, do it for yourself. look at the listed medical reasons and quit for you. not because someone told you to. quit because you want to quit, success will be much easier.

reasons not to quit: the sin tax is what now? 200%? 300%? lol, your smoking taxes may be the stimulous this economy needs! (this last comment was satire please dont get all economics on me folks)

Quitting a year ago, was the best thing I did. I remember having a cold, just how bad they tasted, and such a waste of money.

its funny you mention that because i have two friends who have successfully quit because of how bad it tasted when they had the flu. by the time they got over the flu they were like hey i'm a week into quitting lol. i guess the swine flu did have some benefits after all

That was when I made my decision to quit as well.

I quit when it went to $3 a pack. I started dating someone a few days after I stopped and she hated cigarette smoke. Both of those really helped. It was still one of, if not the hardest things I have ever done.

Emphysema's a hell of a reason. So are asthma and cancer. :thumbsup:

 

[tiger1977]

My lungs were a little more important to me than have a cigarette.

too expensive

My girlfriend and I moved into a nice apartment that allowed smoking. However, after three weeks, we got a letter from the building manager saying that a neighbor complained about the smell, so the super would come to caulk around fixtures etc. Everything seemed fine. Nobody told us that there was a reason to change anything.

A month later, we received another letter saying that the manager received another complaint and that our lease would be terminated if things didn't improve within 30 days. So we caved in and decided we should use this as a good reason to quit. I finished my Marlboro 100s that night and haven't touched a cigarette since.

I'd love to say we quit because of health or even the cost of a pack of smokes (nearly $6) but it was a pissed off neighbor. About 1/3 of the building's tenants smoke...I know that because you can see them outside on their terraces in the winter because some Nazi cunt who hates smoking and likes to write letters decided to live in a building that ALLOWS smoking.

It's the only group of people I can think of that you can legally discriminate against. Where I work they have a smoking area which keeps moving further and further from the building. It's now a good 500 feet away and people are standing in the street to smoke. :1orglaugh

I don't know that I'd call it discrimination as it's impossible to contain the smoke to just yourself. No matter how much smokers insist to the contrary...their smoke does affect other people. People who may've chosen not to smoke.

Companies are trying to avoid hiring people based on wether or not they smoke. That sounds like discrimination to me.
