Quit smoking?

[Zekk_T_Strife]

So on friday I decided to quit smoking. I was expecting to get irritable and have some nasty headaches and cravings but found it was pretty simple to quit. However now that I stop to think about it I realize that I just quit on a whim, didn't really have a reason to do it. Since then I've missed going outside with the rest of the smoking crowd to shoot the shit and have a death stick. Health issues with smoking aside, what are your opinions on quitting? Should someone just do it because everybody says it's best for you or should you really have to quit for yourself and your own reasons before you'll be satisfied with it? I'm curious whether my wanting to light back up is really a sound decision from a non-addict or just a way to rationalize my craving for a nicofix.

Requiring drugs to make yourself normal is never a good decision; Caffeine; Smokes; Whatnot.

I'm not really sure what reason you need to have other than the obvious health reasons...

I think quitting is very hard to do (and stick with) and you will have trouble with missing the social aspects of smoking until you learn to enjoy whatever you do to replace cigarettes in those situations.

Also, I think you will miss it more when you do things that you always USED to associate with smoking, such as drinking alcohol, post-sex smoking, etc.

Does that make sense?

Do it for yourself. Thats the only way that works imho.

And if you don't smoke do not start. It is 2006 for ****s sake, everyone is aware of what it does so just don't do it.

Someone should quit not because of opinions of another people but because of his own decision and thoughts about it. There are a lot information about smoking everywhere and everyone may analyse it and make a right decision!

Zekk, I have been struggling with that decision too. I once smoked around 2 packs a day, and now I'm down to about 3/4 of 1 pack a day. I've cut back a lot, and have seriously been thinking about trying to quit totally. But it seems that I need to find my own reasons to, or else, I will never be abel to quit totally.

gj smoking is lame
it often brings a song to mind :

Keep that shit outta my face.
Keep that shit outta this place.
Keep that shit to your ****ing self.
Roll up your windows.
Shut your ****ing doors.
That cig is cramping my style.
The pleasure is all yours.
Before you light that smoke, remember you’re the joke and you look like a tool.
Your breath smells like shit.
Why don’t you suck a dick?
You look like a fool.
You’re the joke.
