    Please delete thread as am sure it has been done before, but will just say my little thing...I usually only smoke when I drink, (which I do a fair bit of tbh..), ..and with new years resolutions and all that...am still smoking...(was never a resolution to give up the drink, but maybe reduce the smoking, but as am not reducing the drinking...I am a massive FAIL!)

    A part time smoker? as opposed to a full time smoker?

    My careers advisor did lie to me!

    You could have saved a good man/woman the 10 seconds it takes to delete your post.

    Shame on you.

    I'm a girl! (well, depends what you guys class as a girl, am 40 and single, so that probably puts me in the male class system as a desperate wagon, but that's a whole other thread!)..settle..

    Not a smoker myself, I have no problem with smokers it's their money been wasted as long as they're not blowing it straight into my face or smoking around babies and young children they don't bother me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 527 ✭✭✭shuvly


    That last post was for admiral, who is the only person I have ever seen to put arklow as their place of living...anyhoo...am out of fags, anyone in arklow? the admiral, who I thought would be my hero, is now offline, a B and H to me is like a catastrophe, but it wud fill a gap!

    I'm a smoker. Currently in the process of phasing out the cigarettes and replacing them with a vaporizer.
    One box per 3 days now, hopefully 1 box a week soon.

    Good luck sea sharp....!

    Don't smoke tobacco. Don't like it when people do it around me either but I don't really mind as long as I'm not in a car with them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,418 ✭✭✭✭hondasam


    currently back on them after six years of no smoking :mad:

    I did nine :eek: so I would probably have ticked all four options in the title at one stage or another.

    Smoked from my late teens onwards, stopped when I was about 25. 20 a day max

    I look at kids and students smoking now and I think "silly"!!. Probably makes me sound ancient but looking back they were a huge waste of money, for nothing in return

    Quitting was easy really. Didn't use any aids, just a clean break. If people are trying to quit now, I think the financial aspect is a help

    ex smoker since last week, using the e-cigs now, not craving real cigarettes at all :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,686 ✭✭✭Kersmash


    Yup, I smoke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭EverEvolving


    I'm a whole week off them today, yeah! Not bloody easy but the tough part is over now. Just went cold turkey and behaved like a spoiled child for a few days, I was so bloody irritable and so hungry all the time, but been going for long walks so hopefully that will balance any weight gain.

    Coming back to my normal calm(ish) self today so just got to avoid drinking for a few more weeks and fingers crossed I'll stay off them.

    Quit Smoking thread ---->


    Ah no really, I'm trying to get a Tally Counter (see Sig) so I can count how many I smoke a day and steadily bring that number to a negative. I believe I will have reached the unreachable "negative cigarettes per day" mark when I start ttelling other people how bad it is to smoke and how they're killing themselves.....mmmm

    Do you smoke your own or do you bum them off other people and tell them that your only a part time smoker and your too much of a miser to buy your own?


    EDIT Single female 40 ? hey! give me a buzz babe;)

    Been off them a week now. Was smoking maybe 50g of rolling tobacco a week . As time was going on i was just smoking more and more. And every time id have a cigg it would make me really tired for about a half hour. Feels good i dont get tired now after all them smokes, been doing the nicorette inhalers, but as time goes on i remember why i started in the first place, coz its so nice.

    However next time i drink i wont be able to stop myself but i havent drank in a few months so we'll see what happens.
