Hi! guys!
Do you smoke?
Me one in a while I smoke, Two to five stick a week.
Not much ha?
Yeah, But hear this. I started smoking when I was only 12 years old and never stop then until I was diagnose to have heart problem, liver problem and other health problem related to drinking and smoking.
I used to smoke two to three packs a day. I'm a chain smoker. But I smoke a lot at night, about two packs. Its a long withdrawal. I start trying to quit in 2001 because of lung problem. I can't stop coughing and sometimes theirs a dotted blood on when I spit. I stop about a month or so. Then I'm back to my old self and I'm back to smoking. "Damn nicotine! It is so addicting". I been using Marlboro red, then when my lungs can't take it anymore I used Marlboro light, Then Winston red, Then Winston light, and finally I settle in Philip. Now I seldom smoke. But I still smoke..Just for a hang of it. But I can feel that my lungs are not into it anymore. So I really don't push myself to smoking. And I know I can't return to the days that I can smoke two to three packs a day.
...........
How about you? do you smoke? do you plan quitting?

that is very good you decide to stop smoking.congratulations.i hear that it is hard to stop because of withdrawal syndrome but when you decide in yourself that you want stop it then you can do it.you say that your body also dont want to smoke anymore.it is just your mind trying to tell you that you need nicotine and need smoking.hear what your body is saying to you and your mind will follow it soon.gudlak.=)

Yeah..withdrawal syndrome is not a mind think but its really because of your body chemistry. Your body immune system increase if you smoke a lots because of foreign particles in your lungs..So what happen is that if you stop smoking you have excess antibodies in your body. And that cause your feverish feeling, colds, etc..
........
Yeah..Nicotine is really a strong substance that give sense of pleasure. That why its so addicting.

Me either I can't stop smoking,,but my body can't take it anymore so I have no choice but to stop..Its really hard..Its a 10 years process..and even now I still smoke once in a while.. two or five stick maximum a week. but that nothing compare to two to three pack a day..We are all smokers in the house..All of us stop smoking now for health reason except one. And drinking also run in our family..So its hard really to quit..If you want to quit it must start with the environment..Doing it alone is near to impossible.

Yeah..Its really bad for your health..Since your not really long to it..stop now before you get addicted..Its easy now to say that you can quit anytime you want. But if nicotine kick in. Its really difficult to kick the habit.
Now that you have a baby you must really stop smoking.
Because babies lungs are not yet fully develop. Its can easily be damage.
