Are you a smoker?

I am a smoker and I plan on quitting this year. Tried a couple of times these last months but failed miserably. Been smoking for 10 years now, I'm 24. I can't really say it affected me in one way or another. However, I hate the fact that all my clothes and my hair smell like smoke, my breath smells like an ashtray so I have to abuse mints and of course, the money wasted on it. I find it a bit hard since I associated smoking in my head with a lot of activities, such as relaxing, drinking, driving, etc. So when trying to quit, by being deprived of a smoke right in those moments, I feel like I'm being deprived of the experience altogether. I'm aware that it's all in my head, but that's my biggest obstacle. That being said, I hate the fact that smokers are getting cornered like they are and the fact that taxes keep increasing all over the world. Eventually contraband will flourish because of the high prices and makes room for yet more jobs for organized crime. Even after quitting, I will still oppose the smoking ban that seems to be the latest trend in the world today and the ever increasing taxes.

I'm not but my husband is..sad but nothing much I could do about it! As you said, theiy have a mind of their own so..they got to decide what's good for them and people around them. My dad, was a chain smoker, and at the age of 54, he had heart-attack. He was admitted in ICU for 2 weeks, and didn't smoke at all. When he was out of hospital after 6 weeks, he quit 100%! Though he had some cranky mood, but he had thw WILL!!!

I am a smoker and I hate smoking and I say to anyone I know that smoking is the worse habbit ever. I have never tried to quit smoking as smoking is a hobby for me. Weird hobby, ah? Actually I smoke only in work when circumstances allow it, as the banning is in session from now on. I don't smoke at home, my parents either and I can stay up as more than 15 days without smoking. But when I am at work... I surely smoke

I am a smoker and I know it is a bad habit but it is my habit. I started because my dad is a smoker. I have never tried to quit as I have found it really hard with going without a smoke for a few hours. I need to have that nicotine. My mom is a non smoker and she tells my dad and I to quit but realistically you can't tell someone to quit anything. It only entices them more to do it. So if the person is not ready to quit just leave them be. That's really all you can do.

submerryn, I used to smoke before I realised I was carrying Princess... but I am not someone with chain smoking... I smoke when I am stressed up, or when I am sitting with my bunch of smoking friends (in the back of mind, why me to keep taking in the 2nd hand smoke, let them have some too) LOL.... Anyway, to quit for me is easy, I just got to know I got the little baby inside, I quit my smoking habit till now... How great is mummy ya LOL... so, if anyone ask me how to quit, I told them, get pregnant! LOL

I think everyone deserves to do what they want to do with their lives and after all it is their lives that we are talking about here. However, when they affect the lives of others through their action, then it's another story all together. I could not care less if the smoke and pay the consequences for taking those puffs but I absolutely detest those who are inconsiderate and start puffing away in public places, restaurants, lifts, office and even the toilet making you smell like a chimmy the moment you walk out. Smoke all you want but leave me out from the equation and I will leave you alone...hahaha

No, I am not a smoker; my husband used to be a smoker but he has successfully got rid of smoking for a month now, I feel very happy for him and I am proud that he can odo it, way back a year ago, he told me he was going to stop on his birthday and he did do it, I'm so glad!

Yes, i am a smoker and i would like to stop this soon. Yes, you're lucky because your hubby isn't one of them. In our case though, I am the only one who is smoking in the immediate family, but my uncle is. Also, my boyfriend is a smoker but he just smokes occasionally. I tried several times to quit, I quit when I got pregnant tho but my addiction came back when my kid is about few months older.

i am very lucky, my husband is a non-smoker,but my father and brother are smokers.The same as you ,i cannot do anything for them. they also try to quit, but they cannot.

I used to smoke, but quit 4 years ago. It was the hardest thing that I've ever done--much harder than losing weight. Only someone who has smoked can understand how hard it is to quit. It is certainly an addiction, not a habit. I would certainly encourage a smoker to quit, if possible, but would not blame them if they aren't successful. Sometimes it takes several tries before a person is able to completely quit for good.

I'm coming from a non-smoker family. Both side of my family relatives, only my 4th uncle is smoking, but he is slowly quitting it now due to sickness. I hate smokers and also hate those 2nd hand smoke. I will always stay away from them. Even the government is encouraging a more healthy lifestlye and asking smoker to quit by printing those ugly sickness picture on the ciggy box, but I don't think this can scare them off yet, unlike if their own life get threaten. My brother once told me, since those ciggy box with ugly pic on, there were smokers even request to choose which design they want when purchasing ciggrattes, so that they don't feel too uncomfortable when holding it. I believe if a smoker determine to quit, they sure can do it even he/she is an addictive smoker. My ex-co having lots of young female smokers than the male one..it is such a unhealthy scene.

actually, i am a smoker, and i have tried to quit, but eventually failed, even i tried several times a week, lol. but if my wife was pregnant, i will force myself to quit, at least not to smoke at home.

Are you Smoker?Hi, Friends! I hate smoking, unfortunately my dad is smoker. i love my dad but i hate the smoke part of him.

No I never smoke...neither do my family members! About smokers... they just keep finding reasons for not quitting smoking. And, you better watch out! Because PASSIVE SMOKING IS ALSO DANGEROUS!!

I'm a smoker and yes I've tried to stop smoking before. I actually stopped for 2 1/2 years when I find out that I was pregnant. I actually tried to stop like 2 or 3 times and yes I must say it is a bad habit and don't encourage anyone to pick this bad habit up.

I don't smoke at all. As well as you, I also hate the smoking. I am glad that my dad already got rid of it several years ago. Now nobody at my home smokes. That's nice. As I really think the smoking smells bad and it's harmful for the health. I love China
