Anyone got any helpful quiting tips? I'm planning on getting that new prescription pill,but I'm worried about staying busy so I don't think to much about cigs.
I've never smoked in my life or had the urge to do so. My Dad was a heavy smoker and died at 47 from a heart attack. When I was a little kid he would try to play baseball or some other activity with me, but he would get chest pains and have to sit down. He would stick his finger in my face and say "I don't care how old you get, if I EVER see you with a cigarette I am going to break all your fingers!" It must have stuck, because I never have.
Because I never have, for the life of me I can't understand the attraction. I am not making that statement to be insensitive, just honest. What is nice about drawing smoke into your body? I've tried to analyze it from every angle and I just don't get it.
My Ex wife was a smoker and over the 28 years we were together I tried every ploy to get her to stop..........threats, bribes, encouragement, medicines, etc. Nothing, and she is an RN who has seen many people dying and suffering from lung cancer. It must be something the tobacco companies are putting in them to addict people. I have heard that some people who have overcome drug addiction can't stop smoking!
I sure hope all of you who want to quit find some way to do it. I grew up without a Dad because of it and would hate to see your kids do the same.
