Have you ever......?

PinkCashmereYarn @bluerubymoon53 (3286) • United States 23 Nov 12

Have you ever started something big in your life and then just quit? I have quite a few times. Especially going to college. Several times I have started and then for some reason or other I just quit. This time around though, I'm...

busymom312 Yeah, I'm in the same boat as far as smoking goes. I've tried to quit several times, but I quit quitting! I don't think it's that I CAN'T, it's more like I guess I'm not 100% committed to it--that a part of me still enjoys it (even though I know that it's not...

If someone smokes near you?

Oktavist @Oktavist (396) • Romania 25 Aug 12

What is your reaction when someone gets his cigarette and starts smoking near you?Do you attract their attention or you quietly walk away? I am asking this because passive smokers present the same or even bigger risks than normal...

busymom312 I'm a smoker, too. Like you, I am VERY considerate of non-smokers and move away from them before lighting up. On the other hand, I do get upset when non-smokers treat us as if we are standing there with a gun pointed at them. Last week I was shopping at the...

I Want to Quit

debrakcarey @debrakcarey (19887) • United States 13 Jun 12

but when I try I become very anxious and mean. I have those fake cigaretts now, and some nicotine gum. I have only four actual cigaretts left. I made a promise to myself I would not buy anymore. This is it....

busymom312 It sounds like you are doing really good and making progress to totally being free of the cigs. I'm still smoking, but I saw some e-cigs behind the counter at Walgreens when I stopped there yesterday (to buy cigarettes--I know, I know...) What brand of fake...

busymom312 I meant to say I've smoked for 13 years--I started when I was 15--probably the dumbest decision I've ever made.

busymom312 I've smoked for about 13, and have tried to quit a few times. I've heard that you really really have to want to quit if you are going to succeed, and I guess I'm not quite to the point that I am totally committed to do it. Congratulations, though to you for...

busymom312 Thanks. I do know what you mean about wanting that sensation in your chest when you inhale a drag. It's just such a habit with me that I think that is part of what I'd missed when I tried to quit in the past. Once I used the nicotine gum and, while it helped a...

busymom312 Yes, I'd kind of like to know what you think of it, too. I'm not ready to try quit (quite) yet, but when I do try I was thinking of the e-cig as an option.

busymom312 He says he doesn't want to quit yet. To be honest, I guess there's a part of me, too, that isn't quite ready to give them up totally. I know that doesn't make sense, and I'm very aware of the dangers of continuing to smoke. I really wish I was one of those...

Is Smoking a Social Stigma?

MRconrad01 @MRconrad01 (148) • United States 9 Nov 11

I personally am a smoker. I don't care who knows it or what people think of it. I am an eighteen-year-old college student and am taking an entry-level sociology class, and we were talking about social stigmas a few weeks ago. A...

busymom312 My two boys are just fine. As I said, it wasn't like I was smoking my usual pack a day. I truly wish I'd been able to quit completely. My mom smoked a lot more than I did when she was pregnant with both my sister and me, and we are both pretty healthy and (I...

busymom312 How are you doing, Tyleika? I've tried to quit a few times--usually only made it a few days. I'm thinking of trying to quit again, but I'm having difficulty getting ot the point af actually doing it. Are you still quit?

Cigarette Smoking Banned

783748 @783748 (178) • Philippines 9 Jun 11

Do you smoke or not? Do you think it's high time that cigarette smoking be banned especially in public places? What are your insights?

8 responses

busymom312 Allieis and Angelee, I smoke, too, and I agree with both of you. I don't light up in a public place and try to move away or use a designated smoking area (which, by the way, are getting less and less common!). It does seem, however, as if the anti-smoking...

any idea to avoid smoking by people?

asliah @asliah (11137) • Philippines 13 Dec 10

hi mylotters, can you give an idea/s on how to avoid smoking by people who addicted to this. i think government should hike the price of a cigarette, so that many people could hardly buy a cigarette, coz it is expensive to...

KellyGwen @KellyGwen (193) • United States 22 Jun 10

busymom312 Kelly, if this tax increase, tax increase, etc. etc. etc. keeps up, what's going to happen is that a great big black market for cigs is going to open up! It just makes me furious when I see this always laid on those of us who smoke. Glad I don't live in New...

Is Anyone Else Quitting Smoking for the Great American Smoke-Out?

busymom312 @busymom312 (122) • United States 18 Nov 09

I am going to try to quit smoking tomorrow for the Great American Smoke-Out. I've smoked since I was 15, so that's 11 years now. So I'm going to try to do it for the day and see where it goes from there. I don't smoke more than a...

busymom312 I get what you're saying about the propaganda. I have a real aversion to the government getting so pushy and "we-know-better-for-you" and all. And there have been a lot of times where I've smoked right through the Smoke-Out day--in fact, this is the first one...
