Chris Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 How do i stop smoking?I've tried unsuccesfully for some time now and can't crack it. Anyone have any wonder cures?Stop buying cigarettes. Don't drink so much. Get a girlfriend that doesn't smoke (that did it for me). Exercise more (helps the craving and minimises weight gain from increased appetite).Patches, sprays and e-cigarettes are all well and good but the main thing you need to do it break the routine of smoking. You can beat the nicotine with willpower in a few days but it takes weeks and months to get out of the habit of wanting a smoke after a meal or while you're having a pint.

Moose Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I think you just have to actually want to quit. As soon as you truly feel this way, it's not so bad. I started again recently though, and I feel far less healthy. It's nae good. It's such a fucking stupid thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paime Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I honestly do want to quit but my brain won't let me. I can quit for 2 days at a time but after that i start to crumble. It's a ridiculous habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I managed to stop. Mind you, I only smoked when I drank for years. But I finally decided to just quit. Went three weeks then had 1 fag. Now haven't had one since that one in about 6 weeks. No nicotine patches or nothing, just called myself a cunt if I felt the urge to go have one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I stopped 15 years ago after several abortive attempts using patches etc. Just went cold turkey, had a good reason to stop for health reasons so made it easier...

Teabags Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 had a good reason to stop for health reasons so made it easier...I should point out I had this reason also.What are we to learn from this? If you want to quit smoking, get fucked lungs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Doesn't everyone have good health reasons to stop smoking?Yeah, it was the same for me and unprotected sex with an endless stream of Russian hookers, whilst shooting up with needles i found kicking about on the floor with the tips already pre-lubed with someone elses blood.

Monster Zero Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Doesn't everyone have good health reasons to stop smoking?Well, yes but most smokers just ignore them. Mine wasn't lung related or anything, I used to get insanely bad stomach pain when I worked offshore and couldn't figure out what was causing it, tried eliminating obvious foodstuffs that I only had offshore but nothing seemed to cure it, then a guy pointed out that smoking can irritate the stomach, which I never realised. There was no smoking in the cabins so there was a tendency to chain smoke pre-bedtime and I would sometimes be kept awake with stomach pain until after 2 which is crap when you are getting up at 5 for a 12 hour shift. When I stopped I never had the same issue again. I used to get similar stomach issues when I'd been out drinking as well, again due to increased ciggy intake I guess.Maybe not really a health reason, more a discomfort issue. In any case, the fact I no longer suffered it gave me reason enough to stay off that fags. Pretty glad at 6 pound-odd a packet of 20 these days, WTF...literally money going up in flames!

paime Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm aware it does me no good but for some reason that's not the reason I want to quit. It's a stinky habit and there literally is no need for it. The fact that I smoke annoys me and not being able to quit only makes it worse. Fuck knows how I'm going to do it, I have the will power of Michelle McManus in a cake shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Easy Wishes Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 What he actually said was he will struggle because his will power is similar to that of Michelle McManus' when in a cake shop (i.e. bad). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one."I have the will power of..." is synonymous with "I have the same will power as..." or "my will power is like that of....".A simile is a type of metaphor in which the comparison is made with the use of the word like or its equivalent.Stick to cereal, language isn't your strong suit.xx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
