Smoking is the worst right.

MilesMorales1 · 24-07-2016 09:25AM #1

I was off the cigarettes for 10 weeks and then last night at that cos I was out being social and don't enjoy talking, don't drink alcohol neither. So I bought a pack of john player red and smoked maybe 7 or 8 of them over an 5 hour period. Got up this morning and I feel like ****, my chest is in bits, puts me off smoking ever again so it does its the ****ing worst.

I'm sure I'll get urges again mind, but now I shall bear in mind how **** I feel right now.

Get an e cig if you get cravings.

MilesMorales1 · 24-07-2016 09:32AM

It's not really a cravings thing, its really wanting something to do when I'm anxious/awkward when everyone else is drinking.

Again e cig would be the perfect substitute.
It satisfies the nicotine or just inhaling habit, without the 2k odd chemicals in a cigarette.
You can get 0 nicotine juices aswell.
Might allow you to socialise without killing you.

What's your reason for not drinking? If it's for health reasons I'm not understanding the logic of substituting it with something worse for you

Some powerful selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors will cure what ails you.

Disgusting alcohol is. Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

Pot kettle black of course, when I was (am) a smoker, but I just find alcohol incomparably worse. Just my terrible opinion of course.

Yup, definitely not seeing any logic there.

I think your real problem is that you are suffering from a mild form of Yodaism. You're probably only smoking to self medicate.

Apparently the working title for this Oasis classic was ''Yodaism And How To Beat It'':

''Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something worth living for?
As Yodaism grips the nation
All you need is cigarettes and alcohol''

At least I think that's how it went.

Boom_Bap · 24-07-2016 10:19AM

I was off the smokes for a good few months, then went on a stag and smoked over the course of that weekend. I felt rotten afterwards.
Then stopped again until at a wedding, we were all gathered in a smoking area for most of the day and temptation took the better of me. Again, felt rotten the next day.
Was on holliers, had a couple a day, didn't feel bad about it.

Smoking sucks.

Penny Tration · 24-07-2016 10:23AM

I'm off smokes nearly 2 years now and tbh, if you can cut back from a pack a day, to only a handful on a night out, it's still a huge improvement.

There is a 'Giving Up Smoking' Forum in the 'Science, Health & Environment' section if you're interested.

Then your thread title is a lie. It should say smoking is the 2nd worst. LIAR!!!!

I sense there's a comma and a question mark missing in the heading.

Otherwise I'm not sure if smoking is a right; in public buildings in many European countries it certainly isn't. If it were, it would be among the worst ights.

MilesMorales1 · 24-07-2016 05:08PM

Pubs and clubs and what not have immeasurably improved for my money since the smoking ban.

Arcade_Tryer · 24-07-2016 05:13PM

I only started smoking when I was 11 but I hate the habit. And thankfully I'm unable to become addicted. So one pack usually lasts me a few months and I'll smoke one or two every so often and have a few on a night out. It's great, I still get that buzz and dizzy feeling from your first smoke because I smoke so rarely.

Wibbs · 24-07-2016 05:23PM

I'm off them years, but god I miss them from time to time and at those times if I catch a sniff of a ciggie or better yet a cigar I'm floating in the air on the scent.

InTheTrees · 24-07-2016 05:25PM

They say at Nine Weeks without cigs is a really common time to slip off the wagon.

Treat it as a lesson and keep going.

Spanish Eyes · 24-07-2016 05:33PM

Smoking is a bitch alright, specially when you quit and have a sneaky one.

My brother was a very heavy smoker. Tried the ecig lookalike, didn't work for him. We bought him a hefty gizmo tank thing for his birthday with gazzoodles of high strength nicotine juice.

We all had great fun trying to figure out how the fekkin thing worked for a start! But the main thing was bro was able to adjust the strength of the draw, if that's what it's called.

18 months later hasn't touched a real cig. Result.

I just hope there is not going to be a nanny state ban on these things anytime soon.

On the way by the looks of the new EU regulations,i could have a good guess as to the lobbyists in Brussels behind them...

Time to stock up is NOW so.

The minute a solution is found to the smoking issue, it is shot down.

But as you say, lobbying from the Tobacco companies is behind it. Why don't they just diversify into the ecig market?

You didn't think big tobacco and big pharma would go down without a fight? All that money from servicing millions of addicts...

They tried when e-cigs first hit the news,spent millions buying up companies manufacturing the cartridge type devices(which were fairly crappy), you see they wanted to keep that model of the smoker going down to the local garage or shop and buying their products,but the cat got out of the bag,all of a sudden there was people down in their sheds making devices,liquids and improving on them.people were setting up shops and online sites selling them,i ve said this before on here but EU regulations kill small business and stifles innovation,capitalism is reserved for the already winners it seems..

Katgurl · 24-07-2016 06:12PM

Vile disgusting habit. I used to chain and could go through two or three packs in twenty four hours. Quitting was the hardest thing I ever did and the best. I don't miss them at all. I swore to myself that I would never risk having to quit again so anytime I even consider having a 'sneaky one' I remember that. The craving alwuays passes in a couple of moments so no hardship to resist.

Pac1Man · 25-07-2016 12:04AM

Is the 'want' always there? Could you be off them for twenty years and yet still fancy the odd one?

Smoking is the worst right.
