Quitting smoking

Creole, I gave up dip for New Year's. First three days were a bitch, but now the nicotine's out of my system and it's all mental. I bought some natural chew (all natural, made with mint and completely tobacco free) to hold me over when I get a craving.
I joined a quit website called killthecan.org; there are a couple people on there who went to stop smoking. Might be worth checking out. It's pretty intense.

 

Creosote, you're making the right call. I loved doing it. Ninety-nine percent of the best times of my adult life were with a cigarette in my hand. No shame in admitting it. Made a few friends smoking outside all those years. But at some point you also begin to understand they served their purpose. If you ever want to talk about the severe cravings, and what to do, let me know. I brush my teeth. You sure as hell aren't going to want to smoke anytime after you brush your teeth.

 

Menthol!

 

When I was a kid, and I'm talking about the kind of punk shithead who takes up smoking at 16 to get closer to a circle of girls, I was led to believe menthol smokes contained fiberglass. Which, of course, was pure high school fiction.

Didn't matter, though, was scared off for good and never went near menthol.

 

I don't go near menthol because it tastes like shit.

I smoke Marlboro Silvers, or what used to be called Ultra Lights.

My dad bummed one last time I was home and said "it's like smoking air. This doesn't even count as smoking."

And yet, it does.

 

Menthol is the best, unless they are Newports. That is too much menthol. I feel like I could quit at any time but I guess I just don't want to right now. E-Cigs don't do jack for me, I would rather smoke hookah as somebody else mentioned. E-Cigs taste like Parliaments as far as I'm concerned -- smoking air.

 

Best thing you'll ever do for yourself, Mr.C. I'm rooting for you.

 

Really proud of your progress so far, MC.

 

Just start chewing tobacco. Red Man.

 

Just curious--why do you think the e-cig made you sick?

 

Wrong.

Most plausible is that you're a wuss.
