let's quit smoking together.

[ED]

Alright, here is the deal.

I decided that today December 1st, 2009. will be my last day as a smoker, its the worst thing anyone can do to their body and I want to live for a long time. since I spend so much time on this forum and I know for a fact there are too may guys who smoke on here, I thought we might be able to form some kid of a support group and help each other.

a couple of years ago my father had heart surgery due to a log life of smoking only 3 days after my grandfather passed away fighting cancer, at the time I decided to stop smoking and successfully did for 6 moths, but here I am smoking again, I always blamed it on other factors but not on me, so now its time to take it more seriously and do it right, so as of tomorrow I will stop smoking and drinking for good.

who's with me?

[designo]

It's "quit" not "quite" !

You're welcome....

Anyway Good luck man

[Dxbtune]

Well, smoking is the worse habit and one that's hard to shake off...
Ive quit successfully for a year and on vacation out with the boys knocking down a few beers it had one and it kicked it off again.
Good luck ED and a small suggestion would be to stash sunflower seeds in your pocket for when you get the urge...

[ED]

^^thats why I didn't have lunch today.

how does smoking make one a better/worse person? please brake it down to me.

[Death666wish_]

a person taking care of his health for himself and for his loved one is a better person that a guy who doesn't care.

you would be more stable rather than "metnarfez abi jegara" , "rasi ye3worni abi jegara"....etc

[ED]

smokers smell of tobacco smoke, Farmers smell like crap.

give me something logical, and answer my first question.

[Unbreakable]

whats more logic than not smelling bad and healthy lungs?

[BLOODLINE]

Enough with the argument unbreakable!

[Hider]

^^ give Ed break !

he want to quit smoking but you are giving him more headache to smoke again !

[ED]

So here is an update: day 2

replaced rose tea with Dragon Well, Organic Green Tea (thnx tameem), had 3 pots of it so far, also no lunch today. I also started using nicorette 4mg (mint), I used 2 pieces so far, it almost tasteless but I thik its helping.

holding up well so far, no short fuse, no headache, but I'm not hungry which is ok since I want to lose 4-5kg anyway.

[Kayman]

I give you 5 days MAX!

[Hider]

Tobbaco tar is good for your lungs, what it does is spread a protective coating around your lungs that protect it from radio-active elements in the air.

So for all of you who are chicken scared about Iran's nuclear program... start smoking NOW!

[Bu.shaheen]

Well, its been a bad friend since school days until now,
exams=smoke,
school run away=smoke,
break between UNI sections=smoke,
party=smoke,
gathering=smoke,
meet-up @smoking area @ work= smoke,
hard work=smoke …… sad=smoke, happy=smoke, !!!!!!

It is hard to quit, even when we were fasting in Ramadan.. maaaaaaaan as soon as they fire up that thing u grab your pack and fire loool… tried quitting last year and I really did quit for 2 months and that’s it couldn’t carry on …no support from friend as they are all heavy smokers + no substitute !!!!! u feel like something is really missing when your pockets have no “teten”

Go for it my friend, organic tea and stuff will help but you really need a push from guys around you, good luck

Here is my update for today, ZERO SMOKING. today was really a challenge, every friday its big lunch at the parents place and after which I usually have a smoke with the old man, you know set outside in the back yard, some tea and a nice smoke, good times with old man. but it was just tea for me today.

in the evening I was at BIC organizing the AutoX with the rest of the CRC crew. for some reason, almost everyone in the motorports scene is a smoker, and I had to be around cigarettes and people smoking all afternoon and evening, but that was ok as well.

I had in total 3 peices of the 4mg gum, and around 4-5 cups of tea, I had food but nothing more than what I would usually have, I feel it was less. and I'm still insomniac.

[A.Z]

keep it up Eddi

[BLOODLINE]

Stop thinking about the smokes and you can do it, my friend from work stopped smoking and now he completed a full month without a single puff!

You can do it :bigok:

check nassir and if i'm not mistaken its 100bd+ for a full 1 month course

[Dxbtune]

Good work Ed, but I still say you will come back crawling to the dark side.
reverse psychology? :ban:

[SDO]

Champix costs about USD 350 for 3 months course, and its worth every cent of it. if anyone is serious about quitting, they should definitely give it a try. i had tried cold turkey, nicotine patches, chewies, DVDs, hypnotherapy, and a book that claimed, it will make u quit.
Nicotine patches, and chewies never work, because its nicotine replacement technique, which is fundamentally flawed, cuz u quit cigerattes, but u still take nicotine. It can never work, just a money making scam for the manufacturers. The other ways do work, but for short periods, and you keep thinking about smokes, and that u r quitting.
When my doctor gave me champix, he told me , take 2 pills a day, morning and evening, and keep smoking for now, but fix a day to quit, between 10th and 15th day of starting champix. With in a week, i was smoking a lot less, cuz i didnt feel like it, and when i did, i didnt get any satisfaction from it, cuz it works on the nicotine receptors in the brain. I quit 2 weeks after starting the pill, and never looked back. It is the best, and it works.

ED, you need beef jerky. I am talking about bucket loads!

[Ottoman]

mmmmmm beef jerky..

i wish it was more readily available here

[ED]

I need sleep, haven't been sleeping well all my life but the past week or so have been crazy, I don't think I had more than 4-5 hours total :( FTL.

as far as smoking goes, no smoking took place since the day I quit.

[empreza555]

The immediate effects of smoking cessation include:

Within 20 minutes blood pressure returns to its normal level
After 8 hours oxygen levels return to normal
After 24 hours carbon monoxide levels in the lungs return to those of a non-smoker and the mucus begins to clear
After 48 hours nicotine leaves the body and taste buds are improved
After 72 hours breathing becomes easier
After 2–12 weeks, circulation improves
After 5 years, the risk of heart attack falls to about half that of a smoker
After 10 years, the risk of lung cancer is almost the same as a non-smoker.

out of experience i would say that the hardest part is the first week, after that it keeps getting easier and easier, i did temporarily stop for a few times ranging from 3 days- a month... i know a number of people who only stopped it completely due to a heavy illness or an operation related to the terrible habit, so u could either quit by urself -like what ur trying to accomplish right now- or wait till it hits u..only advice that i feel would be helpful is to not associate the celebratory habit of lighting a one every time you get outta work or have a big meal or at airports or whatever, good luck with it!

[JonnybravoM3]

Did you manage to quit ED?

[ED]

I'm still hanging in, no smoking so far and I don't see any smoking in the foreseeable future.

[JonnybravoM3]

I'm still hanging in, no smoking so far and I don't see any smoking in the foreseeable future.

Good for you!! How long has it been so far?

What are you replacing it with? Are you eating more you find? Or are you on the shisha so that you don't need to smoke cigarettes?

[ED]

no shisha here. I use 3-4 pieces of nicotine gum 4mg a day, my eating is still the same, but I always ate a ton and always had a 5 meal diet. I drink 1 extra pot of green tea (from 2 to 3) everyday for detox.

one thing that gotten worse is my insomnia, I don't think its from withdrawal since I still get my nicotine fix, maybe its just triggered it.

[Kayman]

I haven't smoked in 2 days and i'm planning on working on this too.

No nicotine patch, nothing..

So far so good, no symptoms at all and sleep has been ok.

You're a doctor. Ironically, most if not all the doctors i know are smokers -- its inevitable and comes with the stresses of the profession. Just image if you quit for like 2 years and then you have your first patient who you have gotten to know for a long time just die on you in the hospital, seeeeda back to the smoking i'm sure.

Apples have natural nicotine as well so you can munch on an apple too if you get a craving.

whats the pleasure in smoking .. give me one good thing about it and plz spare me the tension and relax drama reasons its bullshit and u know it .. want to relax go and choose something else to take ur mind away

smoke = all sorts of cancerous diseases, bad breath, bad smoke smell and ya everyone hates it but no one says it, waste of money and worst 2nd party like families kids etc get effected most in case u need a wakeup call :motz2:

screw smokin it sucks and everyone who says it doesn't is living in DENIAL :headbang:
