IF you have any teeth left chew a fresh piece of gum every time you crave a smoke it will help....BOOG OUTT...

Thanks, everybody.

And yes, Boog, I still have teeth. :spock:

Yeah, nobody is thinking whats my quality of life going to be at 60. Smoking will only knock off 2-5 years off your life but your quality of life will be for chit the last 4-5 years before that. And the burden you will place on your family to take care of you during that time will be crushing to your soul. Struggling to get a breath into your lungs and guilt stricken is no way to go out.

A year and a half smoke free. :thumb:

Congrats....its been 2 1/2 years for me.

Cool glad to see you stuck it out. :clap:

Now go figure out how much money you saved because you quit smoking?

Congrats Tim! I had to finally quit those things as well, along with coffee.

Not money saved so much as money we simply didn't have to piss away on cigarettes. My primary motivation for quitting was financial. As it stands now, the cheapest prices per pack in the area by my house are around $4.00. I noticed a sign in Lake County, which used to be cheap, advertising cartons for $50 like it was a deal. And at the convenience store downstairs (downtown Chicago) they're a staggering $8.00 a pack. I can remember paying less than that for a carton.

Overall, I feel better, breathe easier, certainly smell better, and I don't cough up a pound of goo every morning. And the metrosexuals don't wrinkle their noses at me when I walk down the street now (although I do kind of miss that, because I still hate anti-smoking nazi assholes ).

OTOH, I've yet to lose so much as an ounce of the weight I gained when I quit. That's a bitch.

fuggin' quitters!

:)

Sounds like that would been a good couple of weeks to avoid you. :D

No kidding, it is still not safe. Bowling tonight, that is a real SOB when almost everyone else in the place is puffing. But I think I am finally committed, you set a good example.

To stop a terrorist, Hack will have to become... a rapist.

I'm ready to stop the terrorists.

Who exactly does he have to rape anyway?

I mean, if it's a Congressman or metermaid I'm cool with it...

Great post dude. I quit 10 years ago and feel better than I have in my entire life. I can breathe, my food tastes better and I save a ton of money.

When I was in Korea in 1968, cigarettes were 20 cents per pack. I should have bought 1,000 cartons.
