Smoking

No, I've never smoked... it just never appealed to me - I had better things to do with the money. I feel lucky that i never got drawn into it because I doubt I'd have the will power to quit. Now, I work on a respiratory ward so wouldn't be tempted to start.

(Raises Hand) I've been a smoker well over 10 years. I've quit once for over a year while I was pregnant, but went back to it. Every so often I decide to try to quit, but it doesn't last long. I don't think I'll truly be able to quit while my husband continues to smoke. It's like giving up chocolate and watching him eat a chocolate cake.

I do smoke, and you are right it is a unhealthy habit. But you know what I enjoy it so, I do. I try to be very conscious of people that don't so mostly I do in the privacy of my own dwelling.

No i don't smoke. I have never tried smoking.Am sorry to say but i don't even sit near people who smoke. I hope you will quit this habit soon. All the best.

Hi laglen. I was a smoker for 14 years up until 2 years ago. It was hard to quit but I had to due to a re-occurence of pre-cancer in my cervix. I would never start again because it was very hard to quit in the first place. I would crave cigs even 6 months after I had stopped. Now, I even on occasion would like one, but I value my life so I just say no, ha ha. To quit I used zyban from the doctor. Some people can't quit on it but it worked well for me. I think the main thing is determination. If you are determined you will make it. You need the determination to get through the cravings or you will not succeed.

i hate smoking and have never done it. but all through my childhood my step-mom smoked near me. She tried to quite several times. the nicotine gum and patches would only last about a week. Hypnotism worked the best actually and lasted several months. but sadly, she always relapsed for some reason or another. I hope you decide to quit. good luck!

I don't smoke. My husband does, but I do not. I never understood the point o smoking. Mot people I talk to who smoke tell me that they do so because when they tarted "everyone else was doing it." What kind o an excuse is that? Tese are the same people who will tell ohers never do sucumb o peer pressure. How ca they tell us ot to do something that they so willingly did themseles?

Well I smoked for almost 32 years and then quit for almost 3 years. Got stupid relapsed and quit again on the 7th of this month. It is hard to quit but I have just done it cold turkey each time. Making it harder is my hubby and best friend are smokers. To top that off I put my back out the other day and I dont care what anyone says smoking does help when in pain. But I will suffer thru I guess. If you are trying to quit or are even thinking of it, good luck.
