Quit smoking!

Lung cancer or Heart disease and Diabetes.

My favorite mug has a Gary Larson's FAR SIDE cartoon on it:
The man is shown in hell hesitating before two doors. The devil is prodding him from behind with a pitchfork, urging him on, saying come on, it's either one or the other. One of the doors is labeled Damned if you do, and the other door is labeled damned if you don't.


p.s. Harebear ..sorry about the pee pee jk

Don't forget obesity! I'd rather have a mass of cancerous cells buried deep within my lungs, ripping the very life out of me with every breath I take than look like a refugee from Sea World.

...but waffles taste so good.

...especially with King's Island double rich creamery cream!!

(note to self: I hate this country)

 

[Ala]

Can't you get King Island products there? For shame..... I'd mail you some but it would be pretty wiffy by the time it arrived..soz

 

[Sissyfoo]

Not even sure you can get a certain brand of organic danish (I think) rich creamery butter over here.

But that's cool. I'm cool. I don't mind eating my non-raisin toast coated in liberal amounts of english butter.

<SIGH>

ye, we all know that smoking is like fucking magic medicine for heart diseases and diabetes dont we?

one doesnt exclude the other, just like you can get lung cancer without smoking, its just not bloody likely unless your working in an asbestous factory, made of asbestous with asbestous air filters.

but you know what? i'd rather have heart disease and diabetes instead of heart disease diabetes AND lung cancer. maybe its just me though

He was trying to say that the food cravings you get from quitting smoking might lead to diabetes, I think.

could be could be, he's usually a bright kid so ill let this one slide for now.swords, you get no markings in my good/bad book for this, you may kiss my feet later if you wish

I quit smoking almost 2 years ago after my father died because of cancer. Not sure if it was due to smoking, but he was a smoker for 40+ years.

Made me look at life differently and I didn't want to end up dying like my father did, but that is something you have no control over, is death.

Could happen anytime and anywhere.

You didn't comprehend my meaning.
Simply put, Ala having quit smoking, is now spending the time eating all those lovely sugar filled treats
I wasn't suggesting any of the drivel you put out in your hurry to flame.

 

[Ala]

I'm losing it!!!!! Had about 5 cigarettes yesterday!!! HELP!!! What should I do?? Nicotine replacement patches until the insanity sleeps again?? I don't wanna die
Everthing was fine until I started obsessing about not getting 'any'

 

[Sissyfoo]

Well then you have 2 options:

1) Give up on giving up and embrace teh nicotine with no guilt or...

2) Go get 'some'.

My lack of 'any' is making me think of taking up a cheap habit as well...like snorting bleach and methanol cocktails and swallowing matches.

 

[Loxleyhood]

Sorry for barging in and clumsily ruining your euphamisms but is 'any' sex? I mean Ala, you're a girl on the internet, how hard can it be?

 

[k9awya]

And Lox, yeah sure being a girl online is like really great for my sex life Who wants to date a gaming addict!? (well I do I s'pose *lol*) You guys should know!

I dare say 90% of people on this forum would like to date someone whos into gaming...

Get some patches, but make sure you get the lower strength ones, theres a story my parents tell about some kids getting addicted to the patches, i guess its better than smoking but still...

Smoke a toothbrush, I dont know, having not smoked, but do you miss the familiar sensation of having something in your mouth, some people suggest this.
Distract yourself, assuming your eating lots rather than smoking, perhaps (i dont mean to imply anything rude here) do some excercise, go for a run around the park, jog to newsagents to buy a magasine. Go to a gymn and do rowing or something.
This will help 2 fold, firstly it will take your mind of "it" and 2nd, help reduce or even negate any weight you might put on as a part of quitting.
Perhaps taking up a sport like tennis, netball, hockey or something that you can go do which gets you out, exercising and away from smokers.

I know this may sound stupid, but it may be worth calling the NHS helpline thing they advertise on TV as most of the stuff im saying is things ive gleaned off others. I can find you the number in the morning if you want.

Can you destroy/flush down the loo all the fags you do have, its probably easier to get rid of them all, so you know that when you want a smoke, you physicly cant rather than having to rely on force of will to just not use them.

Good luck, and if you ever want a chat, gimmie a shout.

thats why we love him coim

always here to lend a hand

 

[Moo]

patches are for pussies

give up cold turkey or u'll never be able to stay off them anyway

i swear everyone who gave up cold turkey that i know of, including myself, have never smoked again but the people who give up using patches/gum/etc to replace it either just never come off the patches/gum or end up starting smoking again at a later date. Ok patches are better than smoking but if u need patches to do it you wont have the willpower to stay off the cigs in the long run.

U just gotta stop, and ffs its not as hard as people make out, yeah it sucks, yeah its hard but no where near as hard as some ppl go on about it.

Altho id take the first week off work
