Do you smoke?

April 1, 2010 8:45pm CST
I have been smoking for decades now..I promised my wife to stop when we got married [that was 23 years ago] but until now I haven't really fully stopped smoking... Smoking is bad- I know, but it became my habit and bad habits are hard to quit. I hope I can really and finally stop someday..

Hello stanley! No i don't smoke because i wanted to protect my health from the bad effects of smoking plus the fact that it will be another source of spendings for us. Keep on smiling!

Yeah, your right because of smoking many people got sick aside from the fact that you do harm other people too, because they also will be affected of second hand smoke.I was a smoker to its really hard to break or stop, but ones you are determined to stop it you can do it. thanks

It is really hard and yes our mind reigns over our desire.They say too that abrupt stopping is not good too, but some people did it.I don't know maybe little by little it could be done too.I hope can do it too.thanks

My wife too is allergic to smoke, she can smell it even if I am a few meters away.They say those who inhales second hand smokes suffers more than the one who smokes.I usually smoke outside our house most of the time.I hope I could stop though, besides it is really a waste of money.thanks

Hi stanley, I actively smoke just after finish my study and its been a decade now. I manage to stop twice in that time (once for a month and once only for a week) but because of the environment around me, I take my puff habit back. And it is really hard to stop it again. I know that it is too costly for us to smoke now-a-day not just about our body health but also financially. I do not know how to stop it but I really do hope that I day I could stop this habit for good.

Good day akuler, Yes its really hard to stop or quit once you have been addicted.I'm not really addicted to it but I guess it became a habit.After a meal I must light one because I feel very calm and satisfied after inhaling that smoke and blowing it out.We all know its a waste of money, I hope too that I can stop this for good.Thanks

Yes, we know its really bad but sometimes people really don't care even in the presence of children.As long as they are satisfied with their habit they don't care.I know the feelings because I'm one of them too.I do hope I can stop and quit this bad habit.thanks for your time
