SMOKERS UNITE THREAD

I don't smoke because I'm addicted, I smoke simply because I love it. Each time I've found out I was pregnant, I've quit that same day and not smoked for the duration of my pregnancies. Last year was hospitalized for two weeks. Doctor suggested giving me a patch or meds to "Help you get through your time here without smoking." I refused them and did not suffer withdrawal symptoms nor did I crave a smoke. Smoked as soon as I got home. I simply love smoking and cannot think of a reason to quit. Sorry, but it is enjoyable to me.........:smokin:

Same here, exactly! I don't smoke a whole pack a day and I can go without for hours and even days if I want to. I definitely stopped during both of my pregnancies. But I don't have the desire to stop smoking. I remember when people used to smoke in grocery stores and malls, lol.

So it will be completely ok with you guys when your children start smoking right?

My parent's are non-smokers...this has zero effect on my heavy smoking your point is irrelevant

It very well could have an effect on your children, is it worth it? Or are they not worth it?

you have got to be kidding me. how dare you even say that. why dont you go finish off another bottle of red wine. im sure your liver appreciates it.

I quit december 9th. would kick kittens for a smoke today.

There it is :laugh: ....Every morning when I leave for work and every evening when I leave work heading for home I think smoking just one wouldn't be bad - but I don't. I'm an addict!!

I gave it up 2 or 3 yrs ago and now the smell makes me sick....I dont miss it

I've been smoke free for a little over a year now and also can't stand the smell!! When I go to my mother's house I get nauseated because she smokes inside and her house just smells terribly! (I never smoked inside lol)

Good job! I also quit 2 yrs ago this july and I'm with you! Best decision I've made!

I quit so my husband would kiss me again. i was a smoker when we got married and I am still a smoker. I just don't light one up anymore. The only reason I quit is because of the cost. I never had any health problems and I gained a ton of weight after I quit. So, actually quitting made me fat.

My husband does not understand that smoking is not easy and you are in fact a legal drug addict. I don't crave them much now. I am over 6 months without one. When I get in my mother's car now, I feel sick because she smokes. When she comes in smelling like smoke, my nose gets all icky. But having that calming feeling it gives you is what I miss the most I guess. The only other thing that has ever given me that feeling is one: food or two: sex. My husband has to go to work so sex is out of the question and food is not an option now either with trying to lose weight. Next step is exercise but it is not the same........

This is exactly what I was thinking!! Anti-smokers and non-smokers have no business being on a SMOKERS UNITE thread!!

I'm a non-smoker only here because I saw the hypocrisy of the smokers bashing going on. For what it's worth (for my friend, Boom): My mother has smoked since she was 16 (she's 69 now). None of my sisters nor I smoke. None of us has lung cancer from second hand smoke. None of us has issues because of our mom's smoking. I'm pretty sure all smokers know the risk and don't need graphic pics nor insulting comments about their parenting abilities.

you have got to be kidding me. how dare you even say that. why dont you go finish off another bottle of red wine. im sure your liver appreciates it.

I wonder how her drinking has affected HER kids? And she didn't respond to me, I guess she didn't have a response.

Next time please ask for the non-smoking thread, as your non-smoking offends me. Thank you



Bahahahah!!! Thank you very much! I was just thinking why would you even enter the SMOKERS UNITE THREAD if you don't smoke??


This is exactly what I was thinking!! Anti-smokers and non-smokers have no business being on a SMOKERS UNITE thread!!

We smokers know the risks and HATE IT when non-smokers preach.

I love smoking and have no desire to quit. :smokin:

Thank you for stating everything that I was just going to say. :drinker: :flowerforyou:

I know the risks. I'm a RN and I've seen lung cancer. I've seen the strokes and MI's from it. But I am still an addict. It's not just that easy to quit. I've tried but failed miserably.

May 7th will be six months smoke free! Feeling really good. Longest I've gone without was 9 months and that was six years ago. Here's for the long haul!
