These my friends...are powerful

These my friends...are powerful

They make me feel like shit. I’m glad I quit.

Smoking hooks you fucking deep.
>Been quit for five years
>Still have dreams about smoking
>Salivate when I smell someone's cigarette
>Still have to fight the urge to buy a pack on the way to work

Fuuuuuck

It takes 10 years

I smoked a cigarettes for the first time recently. I didn't even mean to, I was drunk, sat next to some girl smoking and asked to bum a cigarette.

She gave me one, it tasted like shit, didn't make me feel any different and the following day my lungs felt bad.

I don't really understand smoking addiction. It seems like one of the most powerful addictions out there, now I'm worried I'll get it.

luckies and camels are decent my nigga

marlboro gold if u wanna fuck tho

I never got how people got hooked this hard. I mean I never got to the point where I was a pack a day smoker, but I'd maybe smoke up to 2 packs a week and I don't miss it at all. That being said I still do other nicotine products like chew and snuff so I guess I just replaced killing my lungs with killing my gums.

Very powerful. They can knock many years off your life and reduce your standard of living dramatically for those few years you're alive. They can also repel people due to making you stink.

>Started at 16 in school
>Gave up when 27
>Cost to much
>Not a single fuck given
>I smoke because I like the smoke and the smell and feeling of the smoke
>Started again 6 years later
>Gave up a few weeks ago

Addiction is all in the mind.
I was never addicted, or if I was I didn't know or feel it.
Just don't fuckin buy one.
Just like you don't go out and score coke or phet... it aint fuckin hard.

Just don't do it if you don't like it

>tfw liquor store just outside of Camp Pendleton sells a ton of these

Used to chain smoke these sons of bitches, bought cartons of them before going on deployment and if I have to smoke socially, Lucky's are the only thing I'll touch

What country do you live in? In the US and Japan cigarettes are generally filled with urea, whereas in Europe there are laws preventing that. That's why rolling tobacco gives you more of an effect here in the US than a cigarette does.

I met a girl with a daddy fetish who's dad smoked and she found me more sexually attractive after I smoked

>master seargent in under 16 years

Yeah fuckin right

>tfw hit Master Sergeant because entire Chain of Command died in a beach landing

I met an Iwo Jima Marine who went from PFC to Staff Sergeant over the entire course of the battle. Wasn't just a billet either, he actually got to keep the rank

Only tabacco I can condone smoking is the high quality pipe stuff, quality Cigars (in moderation), and hand rolled cigarettes made with shag English Blend pipe tobacco.
Most mass produced cigarettes do smell bad, but I fucking love the smell of cigars and pipe tobacco.

I'm a vaping faggot. I know I'm going to have to break this fucking thing to get myself to stop. So tasty, so convenient, it provides a kind of focusing effect that I've become accustomed to while working.
Cigs make me vomit the taste is horrific.

>I never got how people get this hooked
>I still use nicotine products

hahahahhahaha.

I'm only at 6 months without smoking, gotta say I feel fucking great. Lucky Strikes were my go-to cigarette as well, so OP's hitting home. I as well still have dreams about smoking and I can smell cigarette smoke even in my car with the windows rolled up when the car in front of my is smoking while driving. It's fucking wild. I quit with Easy Way, haven't had a hard time and any time I think about smoking I remember how much I hated it. Pretty interesting that I still get urges though.

Shit that's crazy. I'd have much rather landed at Normandy than Iwo Jima or Guadalcanal

53k Americans died at Normandy compared to just 6800 killed at iwo jima.
Japs are not human though, I agree I would not want to be in that shit hole.

>tfw started at 15 when i switched school
>never stopped once i started
>still smoke to this day and don't want to stop even tho i know it's bad
>just feels too good
19 now, i plan on stopping in my mid twenties but i feel like i need them atm due to everything being so shit

Started at 12, because Eastern Europe. Quit at 19, started again at 23 for no fucking reason at all. Now I'm 32 and I've "quit" and promptly relapsed within a few days or weeks about 754 times during the past two years.

Tobacco is one hell of a drug.

Just got off smoking using the Nicotine mints lads.

Feels good.

Ban cigs now.

You're numbers are a little off but it isn't any different really, from the day the US hit the beach to the liberation of Paris, the US suffered about 20.5k killed, on Omaha alone cost the US 2k.

Now in contrast, the Marine Corps lost 6.8k on Iwo Jima, the Nips damn near lost their entire garrison however. Thats a little over 18k dead and every single one of them had either of been burned, blown out of their holes, shot, stabbed by the Marines or committed suicide like the heathens they are.

I wanna get back into vaping. It's not satisfying unless it's the shape of a cigarette though. Everyone I see vaping uses the big ones the size of cigars or phones these days. Pretty annoying. I think the brand I bought years ago doesn't even make electronic cigarettes anymore. They only make the giant ones.

Yeah, I was including 17k airmen in the Normandy death toll.
Dying in a burning wreck screaming to Earth in enemy territory is stuff of my nightmares. That and fighting suicide Japs. Imagine the fucking fear, every second in battle.
It meant something to be a man back then.

They looked like men too. The betas back in those died off in the early in their childhood or they died in war from being too stupid

Just don't smoke, user.
I smoked from 13yo to 27yo and I'm 35 now. It's sleazy as fuck addiction and before you now it you just can't stop. I realized it one night I was at home: I forgot to buy cigarretes and I panicked. I went out on the street looking for cigarette butts with something left like a fucking hobo.

Op here. I threw away the pack. I don't want to get addicted. That being said I have a big wad of dip in now as I type this

>now I'm worried I'll get it.
It's not a contagious virus you fucking retard
You only get addicted if you make a habit of it
If you're worried about it, just don't smoke.
You're not gonna get physical addiction withdrawals from one cigarette

The worst addiction. It's even more miserable if you quit for some time and start doing it again. You remember how it was when you quit, you remember you felt ten times better. And you think this while smoking a cig.

Jesus Christ. I wanna stop

It's not inconceivable to quit. I was a pack a day smoker and I've been able to quit for 3 months. I swim 2.5 hours a day and I find that I feel so good that it keeps me away from the smoke. It's not impossible.

Each time I smoke I keep telling myself i'm a dumbass.
I know people who got cancer from it and I just don't want to go that way. I want to die old, not when I'm a dad in his 50's-60's.
Fuck, I never get to enjoy my smokes, culpability always catches up.
Why won't I just fucking stoppppppp

I met an ex drug addict who goes to AA meetings, all the people have quit. But do you know what they're all doing after the meeting? They're all fucking smoking. He went to Narcotics Anonymous meetings and met with ex heroin and coke addicts who've quit. You know what they were doing outside after the meeting? They were all smoking.

Charlie sheen in his ABC interview was talking about the crack rocks he slinged, the heroin he slammed. And he had quit everything on a whim. You know what he was doing during that interview? He was smoking a cigarette.

Nicotine should be illegal. Does prohibition work? Hell no. But it at least decreases consumption by half

Why does smoking look so cool on TV but mostly lame irl?

I've never smoked a cigarette in my life. Got asthma so always stayed away from that shit. I tried weed once, kinda want to do that again but I'm lazy enough already..

Put some fucking dip in that lip like a man, boy.

For a loner like me who doesn't have any friends or connections prohibition would work. I don't smoke weed simply because I don't have any friends who smoke weed. If I could I would probably buy it at the gas station

i was in the same boat and wound up smoking the odd cigar then getting into pipe smoking a few times a week. this was after about a five year nicotine abstinence following fifteen years of smoking a pack a day. my advice is to either satisfy those urges with an alternative (snus is god tier) or plan on suffering for a while longer. the good news is it's pretty easy to get the monkey off your back and go back to not using. after smoking some cigars the first time i was fine not doing it again for several months and didn't suffer any withdrawals.

Chewing normal gum gives you the same focus effect

I always thought it might be an oral fixation. Thank you for the suggestion. I'm gonna break this fucking thing as soon as I run out of juice.
I swear guys. This time really.

I just bought a vape to stop smoking. Why you want to stop vaping?

>>Salivate when I smell someone's cigarette

FUCKING HELL THAT SHITS GOT YOU ON PAVLOV'S DOG MODE MY DUDE

Because there is no regulation on what goes in the juice and not a lot of information on what it's doing to my lungs and cardiovascular system.
Also, raises blood pressure and paralyzes the smooth muscles of the intestines which gives me nasty indigestion and shitty nutrient uptake.

How long have you been doing it, and have you noticed any negatives?

Ideally I don't want to vape for a long time either .

Quit smoking almost a year ago exactly because I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out.

Soon as my teeth healed up, I started chewing a pack of gum everyday at work. Helps me focus and only costs $0.60/day instead of $10+/day. I think it might have helped define my jawline too, but I'm not sure.

Best goy

3 whole years.
It gives me super fucking sticky phlegm that is annoyingly hard to cough up. It fucks my lifting if I don't lay off at least an hour beforehand. Other than that I just feel like shit when I'm buzzed. Focused, but I feel like shit in my stomach and destroys my appetite because of it.
I'm much more afraid of the long term damage I'm doing. Puts me on pins and needles sometimes. I gotta fucking stop after this juice bottle.

>tfw a girl that now looks like this was really into me way back in gr.2
>fucking ignored her because girls were gross back then
>she's now dating another guy from that class
fuck

Why is this on a fitness board, seriously? It's as if this board is run by evil mods that want others to fail

I smoked for a few years and I crave it every once in a while but every time I have just one it makes me sick before I even finish it and it tastes like shit. I think I psychologically fucked myself while quitting to never be able to enjoy tobacco again.

What flavors did you buy

I have Melon Grape and Root Beer. Only the Root Beer had nicotine in it though so I've been mixing it with the others while I wait for my unflavoured nicotine to come in so I can mix them up.

craigslist it dude, dont break money

Still at 1-2 cigs a day during the week. I want to completely quit but my friends are smoking on the weekends when we are out and I don't want to be the bum who begs for one all the time.

you dont even get addicted until you're smoking regularly, you just crave the headspins

Fucking jelly of all you nibbas who are only social smokers. I'm a pack a day man, started at 14.
Thing is genetic imho

I'm 8 years clean and never have any moments.
Thank god

>genetic
self-control cope

Damn that sucks. I'm sure you could just traumatise yourself out of it by smelling cigarette smoke while licking some dog shit

I smoked for 10 years and been clean for almost 3 years now.

It's literally one of the easiest thing to do.

You know what is way worse than quiting smoking after 10 years of being a heavy smoker?

Try to quit fast food or try to quit porn. Now that is something impossible. I could probbaly easier kick off cocaine or even heroine than stop eating bigmacs or jerk off.

There will never be a good time to quit. That's just what we told ourselves to justify the next pack. I went through that song and dance all through college.

>quit smoking
>became a gay retarded aspie with anxiety and a nasty cough
Maybe I should just start again?

I met a girl with a daddy fetish who's dad was fat and she found me more sexually attractive after I gained weight.
doesn't make it the norm user

It's so old and kinda beat up I'd feel bad selling it haha. I guess you're right tho someone would love it for 20 bucks or something.

I've not even felt the need to masturbate or look at porn for weeks now, and I didn't even consciously go for nofap.

Or perhaps different people are addicted to different things with different intensity. I haven't had fast food in years and I craved it maybe once since, don't care for porn anyway, but cigarettes seem impossible to quit for me.

>In the US and Japan cigarettes are generally filled with urea
explain pls

I only smoke know when their is distress or i am going through a tough time.
So my freinds know if i am smoking theirs something wrong and quit when i am back to normal

quitting fast food is easy as fuck. coming from a /fat/ass

>started at 16, i said to myself "haha, i'll stop when i want"
>i'm 24 now
You're not going to quit like that, you either stop now or you're fucked for life
