Do you smoke?

The fix isn't nicotine, not entirely. Part of the addiction is watching the exhalation of smoke. If you're a smoker, try smoking in a dark room or during a power failure. If you don't turn into Mick Jagger screaming about a lack of satisfaction, then you can dip me in mashed potatoes and burn me in gravy.

Smoked from the age of 11 to 25, and was on 20-30 Benson & Hedges at the time I stopped... many, many years ago.

I was about 2 packs a day. Went cold turkey about 18 years ago now.

@ Mendhak, i agree with ya there, even just having it in your hand! If it was just nicotene the patches would have a higher quit rate! As for second hand smoke, if were going to get purist about this we may ban cars as well!

Damn, damn, damn! I might have to take up smoking just so I can try that out. How much mashed potatoes would I need? Can I use instant?

You should be asking how hot you can make the gravy.

First things first.

This is true, and I think there are even more varieties of addictions to cigarettes.
Personally: I enjoy the inhilation of the smoke. That feeling of your throat "closing" when inhaling is what I enjoy about smoking.

Not to forget the fellow smokers you often meet when going on a smoke break. :afrog:

There ought to be a website that allows you to simulate smoke breaks. You can login for a few minutes, and it shows an avatar or a character similar to you standing outside an office building and smoking next to every other smoker logged in at that moment. We can call it "Second Hand", and that's a great name because it can easily be misconstrued for something else.

The only difficulties with this idea is that it's stupid and people might end up quitting just to do it online.

You could even have a buddy list! I remember reading alan carr's book and thinking what a load of nonsense, he was saying you cant possible like choking yourself, whats so strange about that. How many rockers have died against a door with a rope around their neck and there bits out!

I have smoked for 11 years and hate most of it, but still fulfill that craving. Going to try to quit cold turkey sometime when I get the willpower over the next couple weeks

There are few other members here i no smoking.
don't close the poll until they vote for there respective habit.

1. zeezee
2. chunk
3. vijay

BTW,
Somebody should start a thread "Do you Drink Alcohol ?".
