Sorrrry about that, all better now...:smilewink...:dance:...:thumbup:
OK, NOW I see the poll thingy...:mbrasd:...:laughing:...:laughing:.. .:laughing:
ninnyhammer??? - I've never been so insulted since my kids dumped out my Copenhagen & refilled it with fresh dirt & worms.
Dude, wipe the smoke outa yer eyes. Da poll is there. (I even voted).
OK, fresh dip;puke: - attitude adjusted accordingly.
Top o the mornin to ya Mr. Dub.
Well, do you really want my opinion.. I won't preach, but even after last year. I won't ever stop doing what I enjoy doing. I learned that I MUST do it in moderation. In this day and age, everything is bad for you, soooooooooo.......
30 years ago. About 1.5 years ago I moved from Houston to Bullhead City. When I left Texas I had 6 cigarettes. I said to myself "Self lets quit when we finish these 6 cigarettes" I finished those 6 and havent had another. But realize Tom and Dub just aren't as good, powerful or good looking as I am and they may not have my platinum will to be able to quit. (note:other people may have iron wills but that metal is just not valuable enough to descride me)
You're right. EVERYTHING is potentially bad for you. Just walking across my lawn this morning, I stepped on someone's labrador landmine. The even more sad part is, it was large enough that I slipped in it and nearly twisted the hell outta my ankle. Imagine the coroner having to explain that one to the next of kin. :bgwo:Quote:

"I stepped on someone's labrador landmine"
Yer killin me here ... you should see my backyard with 3 Golden Retrievers.
Look up 'poopin machine' in Websters. There's a picture of Sean.
Wasn't Tom a smoker until just this year? I know you were trying to quit some kind of disgusting nicotine habit with wifey...Quote:

I'm a chewer. Wifey smokes (that's why she can't complain 'bout my disgusting habit). I tried to quit earlier this year ... failed miserably. It's time to quit for good - just wanna have a little fun wit it before it's gone.
See post two for clarification...:slap:...:laughing:Quote:

OOO - I felt that one.
I feel strongly both ways.
At this point.. LIVING is dangerous to your health...
You know... 13 out of 7 Doctors agree that Nicotine probably might lead to impotence and anal degradation syndrome.
......just say'n.
:eekgray:
I smoked from 15 to 26. We threw a Halloween party when I was 26. I got HAMMERED and smoked like 2 packs in one night. I had a 3 day hangover.
Day 1: Dead to the world. :deadgray:
Day 2: POUNDING headache and nausea all day ;puke2;
Day 3: Able to eat small amounts of bland food and drink a little water :sad1:
After that I never touched another cigarette again. I'm 33 now and been quit for 7+ years. :rotate:
I find it very interesting, because I can drink and not get the hangovers I used to get when I smoked. I say good riddance!
Bart
At least now we've got something to shoot for...someday maybe we too can be powerfully good looking good guys...:thumbup:Quote:

Hell; yeah, I say quit those nasty habits!!!:thumbup:

We'll pick up again here on Monday. Have a great weekend.
The way to accomplish this is communicate on line where no one knows who you are or what you look like.Quote:

And I've actually just quit cold turkey exactly:
2 Months
20 Day
14 Hours
5 min
Saved $489
Didnt smoke about 1631 Cigarettes
and gained 4 days 12 hours and 44 minutes of life back...
LoL, according to my smokers statistics on my G1...
Last time i quit i managed about 3 months. but I went from a pack every 3-4 days to a pack and then some every day... And I tell you, I felt the impact from it. So a year later... I'm hoping I'm done for good and nothing triggers an event for me to have to pick it back up...
But as everything else in the world... To each there own.
And if you two do decide to quit... The most of Luck to you!!!!
<homer voice>mmmmm...... Kools......<homer voice />
Congrats, I quit 7 years ago, I smoked about a pack a day of menthol lights, and a can of Skoal every other day or so. I quit cold turkey as well...still going strong, no smoking or dipping.
I've been clean since April (or was it March?) 40 years of perfectly good cigarette smoke...down the drain. But I don't cough any more.:bwgy:
Got to say -
For your health, you should quit.:thumbup:
For your sanity, you can be the best judge.:bwgy::smilewink
Then again, I am a fat person, and I still eat so I cannot really give advise on what others should do.
PK
I say....quit. You will save money, feel better, and can buy more mods. We want you guys around a LONG time!
Peace.
Tom:)
LOL...:laughing: Right back atcha Bro...:dan_ban:Quote:

In the words of the legendary Mark Twain:
“It's easy to quit smoking. I've done it hundreds of times.”
Unfortunately for me, like Twain, Dub, Tom and millions of others, it's the starting again that's the problem;)
Best,
then you could afford those diff dropsQuote:

It's almost scary how much it becomes a part of your life. It's un-natural for me to sit behind the wheel without a dip of Cope.
What I wasn't really anticipating was the compulsion while working on the car. Out in the 90 degree 112% humidity yesterday trying to track down electrical gremlins on a 3000GT, sweat was literally dripping off me & I started breaking stuff & doing everything wrong. I realized that it was withdrawal symptoms. After a nice dose of nicotine, everything logically pointed to the MFI Relay.
I'm not justifying the addiction - I'm actually advocating the need to quit. I'd love to at least cut back to the point where I want one rather than need one.
When I was recovering from 7 fractures in my lower back, I had to go through withdrawals from Morphine. After two days of feeling like I had the worst flu ever and all the other F'd up things DTs make you do, it does feel like its going to last forever, finally, it was over and everything was great..
You will be proud of yourself knowing that you CAN and WILL survive. From that point on, life will only get better!
Nicotine addiction actually changes your thought processes!Firing of the synapses.Quote:

I used to work on a construction site with a bunch of smokers.If you asked them a question,they really couldn't answer until they took a drag. NO joke!

Guess Scott hit the nail on the head.
So the best way to quit smoking is to become addicted to morphine?...:drool:Quote:
