Smokers? why do you smoke?!
Question: do you know that i was a heavy smoker and i loved smoking sooooooo much, social and through boredom ect
and i thought i will never give up!
even though i wish i could for health reasons really.
but one day i thought thats it this is my last one and im not telling anyone unless they ask,
and i got a buzz from knowing that i was a non smoker, and then i started to feel cleaner, better breath, energetic, stronger- physically and emotionally!
free and healthy!!
and now a year has passed and i cant believe how easy it was becouse i did not make it a big deal about it in my head, i just thought of it as a minor decision and took it day by day.

I used to smoke and was really addicted and really enjoyed it too. Tried to give up loads of times for my health but always gave in.
Then my partner and I decided we wanted to try for a baby and do you know what, that was all the motivation I needed. I stopped on the day we started trying. It was soooo hard for me until I found out (a few weeks later) that I was pregnant and as if by magic, all my craving dissapeared! My little girl is 9 months old and I still haven't smoked and am sooo proud of myself.
I gave up for her and will never smoke again, for her because my mum died when I was 6 (cancer) and I don't want to die young and leave her motherless because it's aweful. I know I will never smoke again and its an amazing feeling. I would do anything for her. I can't believe women who smoke when they are pregnant, it should be illegal - it's like giving a cigarette to a child.
Anyhow that's my story. PLease give up smoking because you don't want to leave your family when you're young.
To be honest , i would like to stop smoking. BUT, the minute i get annoyed or upset about something my husband drives to the shop and buys me cigarettes. Or if he gets annoyed with something i did he will tell me to go light up a cigarette, so i get no support from him. He then blames everything on me not having sigarettes. So what do you do then. He knows when i run out of cigs because he buys them from his work. Any advice would be gracefully accepted please.:)
i don't really know why i smoke. it's just something i kind of fell into. i've been smoking for almost two years. but i just recently gave it up for Lent, so it's been going good lately. i don't feel many withdrawals or cravings, so i must be in the same position you were in last year.
however, i don't think i'm going to quit for a while. as easy as it was to stop so abruptly, i just can't imagine my life before smoking... =/
i am a smoker but hopefully not for long as i have cut down alot now and only have one or two at night mostly out of boredom but hopefully by the end of the week i should of stopped all together. its only gets worse when my friends light up then i have the urge to have one to
I never started smoking by choice. When I was a kid, my father would make me smoke a cigarette whenever he thought I was lying. If I coughed or got sick, I got beat. Before long, of course, I got used to the smoke, but since I was a kid, I did not realize that it was from developing a tolerance for the smoke, I thought I was beating him at his own game.
Though I have tried to quit several times, I always go back to the smokes. Consciously I know I am wrecking my health, subconsciously I am still beating my abusive father at his own game.
advice for disuend divorce or lecture him!GO GIRL GIRL POWAH!
good for you,I am non smoker,at least you admit to your problem,others are in self denial
Congratulations on quitting and staying off them for so long. I've tried so many times to stop but I REALLY want to stop this time. I think I smoke for boredom and to be honest, I feel happier when I am smoking. When i stop, i feel panicky and depressed. But i just hate the fact that a little white stick, full of noxious chemicals is controlling me. I also smoke when drinking and vice versa. The first fag of the day with a coffee is the most precious.
I've just asked a question if anyone tried to quit all 3 stimulants at once and succeeded cos i think they all link together.
Hope i do it this time...and welll done!!!
Congrats... I do not smoke but when i get mad, depressed i go buy cigarettes and smoke to see if it really makes you feel better and for me it doesn't... i don't mind people smoking but i just don't see the point of it! I see how much time and money it takes away from people. At work i noticed that people that smoked actually went took an additional 15 min break... because they would go out 3 times for about 5 min...Now like i said I DO NOT smoke but its not fair that they get an additional break to go smoke... im not a complainer but I stopped covering for people now. Hey it better for them anyways...
I feel so pleased for all of the answerer's that have given up, you are all to be congratulated, I myself have never smoked and have never been tempted to start even though many of my friends smoked, I was raised in a house of smokers, I used to see my parents taking dog ends apart so that they could make more cigarettes with the tobacco from them, I remember thinking at the time, how desperate was that, I used to say to them that they live in a fog, not that it made any difference but in those days they did`nt know the damage that they were doing, Dad died aged fifty four because his lungs were ruined, he used to cough until he passed out, Mum lived until she was seventy two which may seem a fair innings but she had to be linked up to an oxygen machine for the last ten years of her life and she suffered a lot with breathing problems, I really loved them both and have always felt as though I was robbed of them by this awful habit, well that's my story, good luck to all of you, have a good life.
