Re: The Natural Way to Quit Smoking - SMOKE CESSATION AID
Smoking is bad for your health.
I agree. So is spam.

Re: The Natural Way to Quit Smoking - SMOKE CESSATION AID
If various members desire to engage in legitimate discussion on how to stop smoking, let me know, I will consult with my co-pro-consul Cobra and such discussion will almost certainly be permitted.
Spam will be obliterated, or mocked. Without mercy.

Yep, I concur.
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.

Re: The Natural Way to Quit Smoking - SMOKE CESSATION AID
Why in the world do people choose to smoke? In the 50's it was cool, nobody knew it was so dangerous and they ignored it's addictive properties. Today the dangers are well known yet people still choose to do it. Why would someone choose to become addicted to anything especially something like this that is going to rule their life and take at least 10 years off of it? Smoking is a lifestyle choice. Everything revolves around it. It's the first thing you do every morning, something you do before you go into a building or restuarant, and something you do immediately after you eat.
I think people choose it because they can't accept life, their life, without distraction. They need it to fill a void, that they weren't born royalty or rich.

Or chew gum, like me. It's a dirty, ugly habit, and the underside of every piece of furniture in public places proves it. My only friends are gum-chewers, except bubble-gum chewers. Like cigar-smokers aren't, to cigarette addicts.

Re: The Natural Way to Quit Smoking - SMOKE CESSATION AID
*Smoking was considered "cool" well into the 1970s.
Why do people start smoking? Most folks I've observed (people I grew up with) picked up the habit from their parents.
I'm not condoning it, btw. But generally speaking, if parents smoke -- even if they admonish their kids NOT to -- their children will too.

Re: The Natural Way to Quit Smoking - SMOKE CESSATION AID
Neither of my parents smoked, but all four of my sisters did, for years and years, until they all wanted to remarry and discovered none of the living eligible men smoked any more. I never could figure out how to smokle and chew gum at the same time.

Re: The Natural Way to Quit Smoking - SMOKE CESSATION AID
I am a deeply methodical and spiritual person. I do all my homework on time and study vigorously for tests to point where I get barely two thirds of the sleep I ought to get each night. My class rank is #2 of 526, I am in the running for Vice President of my school's NHS, and am taking pre-calculus, advanced physics, and AP European History as a sophmore. I'm the knid of guy who spends hours staring at pictures from Hubble and the MERs and voraciously reads books ranging from victorian novels to AIAA papers and thinks for the pure fun of it.
I only say this because I do these things yet cannot possibly fathom why anyone would start smoking. String theory is a piece of cake compared to trying to figure out what goes on these peoples' heads.
A mind is like a parachute- it works best when open.
