Quitting Smoking

That doesn't make sense on so many levels.

Another thing (I keep remembering steps I took), was switching from Marlboro 100's to Marlboro light 100's. Then smoking less and less until my target date.

Another relapse trigger is the hand to mouth thing, the oral fixation (shut it). Gotta find a substitute for that. I used twizzlers.

Can't argue with counter-culture.

Going on 6 months without a smoke for me...it's a struggle every day.

its the places decision to have it smoke free or not. some places in texas are smoke free some places no

I think that is a great policy.

I wonder if anyone knows if the places that allow smoking have on average more customers than those that don't allow it, or other way around?

I've tried quitting smoking a number of times but have found it to be much worse for me than smoking itself. I'm not an extreme smoker, just the occasional one to calm me down, and I find that's the best way to do it. I understand all the physical health implications, but I believe them to be better than the mental health problems I've had at the times I've tried to stop.

A lot of places have both smoking and non-smoking sections. In general non-smoking gets more traffic because while non-smokers don't typically want to go in a smoker can go outside if he or she wants.

Your solution to mental illness is smoking as opposed to say . . . psyciatry?

I live in East Texas and I have never seen any kind of smoking bans except for in restaurants.

I recently told myself that I need to quit so that I can set a positive example for my daughter. Honestly, I could quit cold turkey right now if I wanted to. I've never been a heavy smoker. Even when I was in the Army, I didn't smoke that much. However, that was mainly because we weren't allowed to smoke for tactical reasons, me being an Infantryman, and all. We could have all of the snuff we wanted to, though. I dipped the hell out of Copenhagen all the while I was in the Army. Then, when I discharged, I started smoking so I could quit dipping snuff. Now, a pack of Kools will last me about 5-7 days. The only time I really feel the need to light up is when I have a beer/drink in my hand after a hard day's work slinging beer for Budweiser............which is everyday. 😛

marlboro special pack..............mmmmmmmmm..........sighhhhhhhh
they are strong because marlboro use bigger cutting of leaves. and they also contain a LOT more tar. seriously, before putting out ur cig, take the filter bud off and compare the amount of tar on it to another cig youve smoked{benson and hedges e.g}. its significantly more.

...............................sigh, benson and hedges.............................

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

her a pack costs around a dollar fifty.

The tax is going to be raised again and so one pack will be around 7 dollars.

Indeed, it is. Now if only we can get stupid dumbass cars and their stinky dumb ass exhaust out of my face. It is quite lame when it is 21C(70F for you ignorant Americans..and Brits, lol) outside, sun shinning, light breeze, and I roll my car window down and get a big ****in' wiff of shitty ass exhaust all in my face and car. **** YOU a**holes and your stinky ass exhaust! 😠 😠 😠 😠 😠 😠 😠 😠 😠

Wow, really? Marlboro's are pretty tame to me. However, I have to remember that in the grand ol' U.S. of A., so many products are tweaked out to such strong levels so that people will keep buying said product.
