Do You Smoke?

Do You Smoke? And if you do, have you ever noticed how ciggarette smoke coats everything with an icky residue?
How do you get rid of it? I don't smoke, and never have, apart from trying it as a teen a couple times, but my folks both do. I don't mind it really, since I am pretty used to it...Also if you have quit recently, how did you manage to do it? They both want to quit for health reasons but end up smoking more with each try! Any hints?

Nope,don't smoke-but the furrball named Catlady keeps breathing smoke on me over the internet-COUGH..GASP...WHEEZE!

People I know have tried snacking on licorice etc to stop smoking-but then you can end up chubby.
Mainly I would suggest finding something else to do to preoccupy yourself.

Lotussan,
When I quit 4 years ago I used a pill (wellbutern, not sure of the spelling) or something like that. ... I have to get some again.. After all the stress this year, I went back to smoking a month ago.

Aw well Catlady, you did good! That's how my dad got to smoking so much, seems like every time he tried to quit he just smoked more the next round, so now he is just trying to cut down...

Smoking is probably not a very healthy thing to do ... I used to in high school but quit after a year.

Now I'm allergic to tobacco smoke ... cough, wheeze!

My favorite pasttime is training to still be able to jump kick a cigarette out of someone's mouth! :D

Catlady,
I quit smoking a year ago in Nov. on the same medicine as
you. Because my doctor was right I did not gain any weight
at the same time, which I knew most everyone does. Since
I am overweight I did not want to gain, more . I actually lost
weight while quitting smoking but I was taking the medicine
and going to weight watchers.
Well when the tornado hit my house on Dec.23rd, and we did
not get electricity until Jan1st, I started again, then shortly after
that my husband was diagnosed with a bone marrow disease
called pre leukemia, I am still smoking.
I hope to quit because I am going on an Alaskan cruise with
my daughter & freinds who do not smoke, and I don't want
to be in nicotine withdrawal at that time. but I only have
6 weeks to go and will advise if I can do now. Everyday I
say this is the day I will quit again, and I do for 1 day.
Take care,
Pat/Aggie

Pat,
I too am sorry to hear about your husband and I wish you all the luck on quiting. It is easyer when your people who don't smoke. You one of the lucky ones who don't gain weight. I put on so much over the 4 years that I did quit LOL and in the month I went back to it I dropped about 10 lb. When I quit this time I have to watch what I eat.

Connie,
My mom died from smoking too. I know how you feel and how hard it is to stop. I am the only smoker in this house and have everyone on my butt for it..When you ready to quit you will.

Yes Connie, don't worry! Some people like to smoke, and some like to eat (LOL) we are all human here, that's all...I need to lose some weight, but it's not so easy, so just be patient with yourself...Maybe I can eat healthier and if you like you can quit smoking, but if not that's okay too, because it's all your choice, don't let anyone drag you down or bother you about it...Very sorry to hear of your mother too...Good luck...:)
