who here...

i ment that it calms me down, when i get stressed i get angry e.g smoking usualy calms me down, either the actual effects of smoking or the fact that i just sit down and chill for minute or so, with the ciggeret. its kind of a mental thing rather than a physical thing for me.

 

It's cliched and kind of a stupid reason, but people really do often begin smoking for no other reason than to look cool.

 

Smoke till your about 25 then...then try and quit.

 

yep thats how i started.

 

lol!
na i am still trying to quit, but i think i am not mature enough to handle the withdraws yet...hence why i end up smoking like a week after hehe.

 

I actually didnt tell anyone that i smoked for the first couple months.
I would go on walks and enjoy wandering around light headed hah

 

I remember when all of my friends started smoking.
All of my friends were generally older than me growing up, and at his particular point in time they all had jobs and I was still too young to work.

They all worked at a fast food place together and said they had to start smoking in order to cope with the "stress".

Telling yourself you cant do something is the biggest curse youll ever have.
Confidence is key.

 

basicly it starts like this:
me on 1st day: fuck this am quitting (throws away ciggerets)
2nd day: fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
3rd day: FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
....
....
....
end of the week: OH FUCK IT!!! (lights up a ciggeret) aaaaaaaaaaaa...

 

Nagh, I don't think it is handling the withdrawl.
Perhaps you just realise (either consciously or subconsciously) smoking hasn't affected you yet...
You are probably not coughing or wheezing.
It just hasn't impacted your health yet.
The older you get...the more it wiil.
Therefore perhaps the greater imputus to quit.

I was only half joking, btw.

 

i tried quitting last week or something. lasted 6 hours the first time and 2 hours the second time. i did quit for a month once, but that had some help from the fact i was locked in an institution with no access to smokes. i started smoking again once i could. stupid. i just didn't like the fact that i was forced to quit and didn't make the decision myself.

 

well i been smoking since i was 9 (addicted when i was 14) and now that my life is getting a bit shifty i smoke more ciggerets and harder for me quit as i feel that ciggerets often help me cope with stress, although i did not start smoking to help me cope with stress, got addicted was more of a habit back when i was 14 and it grew into an addiction...i don't know if i am making sense...

 

this is what annoys me when people force people to stop smoking ( if the person is addicted), if you force someone to stop smoking chances are they will probly start again...it's usualy when they quit because they want to quit that they quit..

 

I don't get pissed cause really you can only get mad at yourself, the cigarette doesn't have a gun to your head.

 

you're right it has not affacted my health yet, but i know it will, it's just that at this current time it has not affcted my health so i think it's not so bad now so less dedication for me to quit as i think it's not affecting my health, but i can predict in the future that i will have health problems due to smoking hence why i want to quit now i don't get even more addicted in the future.

yes i know you were joking hehe

 

This is what I don't understand. With all the info on the dangers of ciggs, why would anybody start?

 

That's what you have to do, I guess...visualise how much shite it will do to your system. I'm convinved you can't get more addicted, just you get less bothered. Stare at the health warnings from time to time...that'll give you a healthy respect for your life...it did me.

HALF joking.

 

You don't quite give a fuck when you are 14.

 

When I actually decide to quit something... I quit.

 

indeed.
