Stop smoking now!!!? -

Stop smoking now!!!? -

Do you smoke?
Do you feel pressure from your friends - family to stop smoking?
Does it effect your relationship with your family?
Are you the black sheep of the family?

I smoke - get allot of stick from my girlfriend - family to stop.
But im stubborn - if people left my alone maybe i would stop, maybe.
I know about all the implications of smoking - dont smoke around non smokers. I do allot of sports - keep fit, but i know i would be better off not smoking...
But i do like a ciggarette..It is unfair for people to nag about smokers. I understand your families concerns for your health BUT... it is your decision whether you choose to smoke your not, as long as you do so respectfully by going outside - not smoking around others... which you state you do.

Why doesn-t anyone nag drinkers? or fast food eaters? or naggers who are always stressing? People will eat pork and salt til their 300lbs with sky high cholesterol - blood pressure, and die as a result!! These are all very unhealthy habits as well, so no one has any right to gang up on one bad habit!! People die AND kill others from talking on cell phones while driving!! Sure, it doesn-t happen to EVERYONE, but neither does getting cancer from smoking!

So to each his own!! I quit smoking 1 1/2 years ago, but it was MY choice. I would never push it upon anyone else, because it-s just not fair!

Best of Luck to you!I smoke too, but let me say this,sunday I was taken to hospital with chest pains, and found out I had a heart attack. They placed a stent in one of my arteries. I am still in hospital recovering, and haven-t smoked in the last 70 hours .I was stubborn too, but when directly faced with the fact that you may not see your loved ones,wife, son, daughter, and grand kids your eyes are opened.

only 54, not old at allk i dnt smoke but i helped my father stop and he smoked like about 40 a day!!

all u gotta do is:-
smoke half a fag, and wen u want another 1 simply just go back to the fag that u didnt finish, its ok to have a ciggarette but not all the time if u realise that ur not only damaging urself ur also damaging ur family and if u smoke around ur girl friend and ur parents then their at risk of getting lung cancer just as much as u might b at risk. i dnt want to scare u i just want u to know the truth,
its not going to b easy but just tell ur family to support you because u feel as though u cnt do it on ur own..
u cnt stop smoking in one day it goes in stages
u need will power aswell
my father went from smoking 40 a day to smoking 3 a week
with my help
ask your girlfriend to support u aswell
u cant do this alone
u have your family to help u and also u will have to help urself
good luck and i really hope i helped eventhough i-m not gd at explaining things very good
xxxxxxxlook man..I like to smoke and drink my beer too...life is difficult enough to not have a few pleasures...we are going to die...period...i work out all the time and eat healthy...that enough..i dont need someone telling me not to smoke...unless they want me to follow them around and point out every little detail in thier stinking life where I think they are doin wrong...THEN SHUT UP!!!

Live and let die.

And the heck with non smokers....half my buddies dont smoke and I smoke right next to them...if they dont like...get up and move...duh....i quit smoking this year- i smoked for more than half my life. i was a bad kid. anyhow i smoked newports which are very bad for you since they have fiberglass in them. i was coughing up blood and always sick. no more of that for me. i quit in april- so im going on 5 months smoke free. i am suprised i did it cold turkey and havent touched one since. but i feel better and can run better now. it takes time to heal your lungs and i dont want to die of cancer. i want to see my kids grow up and all. plus i was wasting so much money on them. a pack or two a day adds up. i would quit if i were you.... its hard, but pays off in the end

last year
i dated a guy- like for a few days.. just casual and he was like -did you quit smoking yet?- it made me so mad. i was thinking .. who are you? were not together and thats my choice. so i never talked to him again.

this year
i started seeing my current boyfriend and he mentioned that if i wanted to smoke it was ok, my choice. but he wanted me around and the kids needed me. basically that it was bad for me. but that he was there with me either way. so that gave me the drive to quit. and i didnt even tell anyone i was doing it. one dat i was like. i dont need these and never had one ever again.

i hate being told what to do, but being asked with true love and compassion made me want to quit because no one ever cared like that before
Stop smoking now!!!? -
