I don't and never have. Candy cigarettes are as far as I've gone!

It was one of the best things I have ever done. (I include having my son and losing nearly 100 lbs. in this category.)

...goddamnit. Most people say, "Ugh, I wanna quit so bad, but I just can't." For me, it's "Ugh, I don't wanna quit at all, but I need to."
What can I say, I actually LIKE smoking. I know it's terrible, but that's just how it is.

10. Yes, and I'm not supposed to. |
|
I was supposed to quit a month ago. I've been on Wellbutrin for six weeks. It's not helping. I love smoking. I have to quit-- I can't even smoke in moderation. I either smoke ALOT or not at all. I quit for six days last month. It's amazing how much physical agony you can be in without actually being in pain. It's so much a part of me, I feel like I'm losing myself when I refrain from smoking. I hate it.

I'm also on Wellbutrin, but it is not doing a damn thing. I also like to smoke, but it is starting to give me health problems, so I am going to have to quite somehow.

I like to smoke in Boston, because I tend to have the best one on one conversations with the people outside smoking. Otherwise, I'd never get the nerve to chat with a bunch of nonsmokers in a big group indoors. Smoking is an excuse to chat with people.

from smoking almost from the day I met him. It took him some thirty odd years to complete the process, but it disabused me of my interest in the habit.

Except as a teenager, I tried to smoke by putting the smoke in my mouth and blowing it right out. Someone told me I needed to inhale, and I tried it once, coughed up a lung, and never tried it again.
