I always jump into the fun threads late Mad

UGH! Any-who. Congratulations on sticking with your posted date! I quit smoking a year and ahalf ago. I found out I was pregnant and.. sad thing is that I didnt quit because of my pregnancy.. It actually took me 3 days AFTER I got the test results to quit.. I stopped because I didnt want to be one of those hyprocritical parents who are puffing on a cigarette telling thier kids not to smoke or do drugs.... I dont want to raise a smoker, so I realized I cant BE a smoker. Nuf' said.
The one thing I noticed... a cigarette has NEVER seemed as good as they are when you have decided not to have one again. Evil or Very Mad

I hate cigarettes damn it! But ohhhhhhhh soo many times I have looked at them like they were tiny gods in plastic wrap waiting for me to open them

Shocked

( I think I just said too much. Really....I do take meds for the voices in my head...I do! I sware ) Laughing

shewolfnm, so funny!

I started smoking so I could survive in an office full of smokers. I also quit when I got pregnant. Cigs made me nauseous. I became so allergic to cigarette smoke that I have to avoid it. Makes my eyes swell shut and cough my head off.

Cigs are bad for ya.

They are bad for your wallett too!
I calculated my cigarette cost one time.
I was smoking on average 4 a day. I started when I was.. well.. lets just say before my age reached 2 digits. ;-)
That was over 20 years ago.
A pack a week at 4.99$ ( i didnt smoke cheaply ) over the last year I was smoking came out to 264.47 a YEAR! Now add in the times I would chain smoke.. ( stress realted as always ) and how many I would give away to people.. you could easily reach 300 a year.
UGH! I am too much of a tightwad to want to afford THAT for something that ends up in ashes and thrown away.

You're kidding right? I went through a carton a week... If I only smoked a pack a week, or thought I could, even, I'd still be smoking. Laughing

Ditto to your reply there Bill...I smoked about a carton/week and if I could be happy only smoking 2-5 cigs/day I don't think I would ever have worried about quitting. It's just that I can't be happy with only a few per day. That's why I can't have any Wink

So, Bill, I see you are doing well on your commitment to not smoke. Good man. Stout fellow.

Hey you two, don't you know that Boobies are pelicans?

A pelican is any of several very large water birds with a distinctive pouch under the beak belonging to the bird family Pelecanidae. Along with the darters, cormorants, gannets, boobies, frigatebirds, and tropicbirds, they make up the order Pelecaniformes. Like other birds in that group, pelicans have all four toes webbed (they aretotipalmate).

oh yeah.

don't be a pelican, O'Bill.

Thanks Edgar. Heeven and Jer too! Turns out it isn't that hard. Perhaps BIG TOBACCO has covertly spread the propaganda that it is to make us feel okay about it when we fail and decide to keep smoking.

That's interesting BBB, but those are not the Boobies I like. :wink:

Nicotine can both stimulate and depress you
Nicotine can both stimulate and depress you

Nicotine is the substance in tobacco that gets into your bloodstream when you smoke. At first nicotine can increase your heart rate and make you feel more alert. Nicotine also works on a chemical in the brain called dopamine that is associated with feelings of pleasure. However, over time, nicotine lessens the brain's ability to experience the effects of dopamine, requiring smokers to consume greater amounts of nicotine to achieve the same result. If that need isn't satisfied with a cigarette, it can contribute to depression and fatigue, which is one reason why people crave another cigarette to feel better. This cycle is part of the reason why smoking is a hard habit to break.

Huh. Well I'll be damned. I've been feeling a bit of extra laziness lately that I suppose could be defined as depression and/or fatigue. I hadn't really put the two together.

That tears it; Starting tomorrow, Wednesday, July 21th 2004 I will be adding some form of exercise into my day, everyday for the rest of my life. Some days a little, some days a lot... but some. Thanks BBB

Edit= Correcting the idiocy pointed out in the next post. :wink:

OB, you had better hurry up because tomorrow is July 21st, Boobie.

Have you thought about increasing your sex to twice a day? Great exercise.

I thought about it, but without a partner it's really not that much exercise.
