Ellpus,

When you next buy fags; transfer them to a packet made of rough cardboard!

Voila!

Am I good or what?

I started smoking when I was 21 to help me survive in an office full of smokers. At 23 and newly pregnant with Butrflynet, I quit by drinking orange juice when I wanted a sig. Worked for me. Never smoked again.

Testifying...

I smoked for twenty years. It helped me pacing lab work, made food appear in restaurants, made me relaxed on various occasions, so I thought. Turned out that after I quit I was a much more serene person. I did smoke heavily, sometimes three packs a day, usually two. I quit twice, cold turkey each time. The second time stuck and I never looked back. I don't think they had nicotine gum and patches back then, so I didn't have to make that decision.

I did overuse toothpicks for perhaps a week, must have looked charming - why does that woman have a toothpick between her lips. One could get colored toothpicks to go with your clothing of the day.

My single bit of advice - what worked for me - was to consider smoking cigarettes as something other people did, and had nothing to do with me. There used to be a vast selection of them at checkout counters in stores. I'd glance over them, if I looked at all, as if they were, oh, washers for plumbing or such.

So - things like nicotine gum would - for me - be a reminder. I was better off having smoking just be a dumb thing I used to do long long ago (even the first weeks after quitting).

I've quite the addictive little personality. Hell, a2k is probably a smoking substitute.

She looks like a blond version of my Dentist.

Fred, his name is.

Brilliant!

Why not pack it in with me, woman!

After we've got through the craving bit, we can put it to the ultimate test with a communal post coital experiment.(insert dirty old rascal emoticon here)

I am absolutely outraged Lord Ellpus.

I had no idea you smoked, and feel so betrayed.

You must stop that horrible practice.

There's just nothing else to say.

I'm glad you didn't promise to discipline me if I carried on, Chai, as I'd be up to 40 a day within a week.

Can you imagine you and me ruffling the duvet?

We would be saying this like "don't kick the ashtray off the bed", or worse still "well, I may as well have a fag while I'm waiting..." OR "smorgs, take fag out of your mouth and show willin'" or worse still "did you find my lighter while you were down there?"

Sounds like a really sexy encounter...

You have duvets in the kitchen?

..........or "What a magnificent implant you have there, Ellpus!"

....."Sorry, I think I've just dug my nails into your patch"

...."Hang on Sarah <cough cough> I just have to get my breath back"

I was going to mention something about me offering you a kingsize but I thought that might be going too far!

And then she spent a good portion of my kidhood dragging my brother and I around to stop smoking information centers at the local grocery cooperative where we volunteered, got to see what diseased lungs look like and did experiments with different brands of cigarettes to show they all emitted unhealthy levels of tars.

I still snuck a cigar or two from my dad's stash and smoked many a lid. :wink:

I started smoking cigarettes at around the age of 35 and stopped cold turkey after about 10 years by chewing on whole stick cinnamon and crushed ice. Having the laws change where we could only smoke outside the building helped a lot. Cold, rainy winters are great incentive to not smoke. Of course, I then made up for it at home.

You'll never truly realize how badly you smell as a smoker, until you've not smoked or been around smoking for about 6 months. Smokers reek!

That's it!

Ellpus, you must get pregnant!

(I quit smoking almost accidentally, and can still start and stop at will, so no help for you there. The teeth will have to be dealt with in the next few years, though. I'm pretty sure my last hack botched a replacement filling in the back.)

Actually Osso, I find that A2K causes me to smoke MORE, on certain occasions.
It certainly doesn't help the situation.

Maybe I'll have to find another, more "calming" pastime for a while when I pack it in, until my brain returns to normal.

Nah, just put your pack of cigarettes someplace really inconvenient and keep nearby a bowl of whatever gnashing substitute rocks your boat, the less calorific the better. That's what I used the crushed ice and cinnamon sticks for.

I've kicked all the associated habits except smoking while reading. I just can't read a good book without gnawing on something, so I keep a stash of cinnamon sticks around for that purpose.

Also, I know you are probably just as stubborn as I am, maybe more so. :wink:

It's mind over matter, m'lord. Don't let those dastardly cigarette companies and their manipulative lures force you to steal anymore of your hard earned cash and watch it turn to ash. You're not that weak, are you? Besides, you've better things to spend it on, like lunch with smorgs!
