I thought they'd cracked it as they said that they'll now only smoke those and gradually give up all together.
But what is actually happening is that they now rely on the vapour cigarettes because they've been able to smoke them at all times. Indoors in public places in the house in the car in bed whilst working etc. etc.
They are now even more hooked on actual cigarettes because the craving is never allowed to subside.
I have my suspicion that the tobacco companies are behind this little invention.
The only way to give up seems to be with medication that makes you feel sick not the stuff that feeds your craving.
I'm a non smoker so this is only an observation.
Good luck to all people trying to quit!
Yes, smoker wants to quit. I want to quit too but yes it is not easy. some people say, it's easy, just stop then you stop.
I know... I seen many slogans say "stop smoking" or "Smoking can kill you", etc etc...
In the other hand, I don't heard (yet) people got accident bcos they're smoking while they drive a car (I dont talk about drug or marijuana as I never know them, it is about cigarette, tobacco only).
But...
Accident.. hit and run, bcos the driver drunk, that's many. And I dont see (yet), people try to stop someone from drink alcohol or beer. no promotion to "stop drink alcohol" or "alcohol can kill you". etc etc...
for example you Aaltar, as public healthy measure.. why the concern only to cigarette? how about alcohol?
much better if we dont smoke and dont drink alcohol too. stay healthy... I dont drink alcohol, but I smoke.. so I don't stay healthy yet...
I've seen how difficult giving up can be but the classic confirmation of someone who is hooked is when that person tries to deviate and draw attention to other types of habits.
Not good!!
It IS none of your business. Smokers pay more insurance, so it costs you nothing in insurance and earns the government a fortune in revenue. Without smokers you would be paying MORE in taxes. Don't mention it. We are happy to be of service, and kicked in the teeth, all at the same time.
Smoking has been the scapegoat for decades: a lower percentage of the population smokes with every year. A higher percentage of the population gets cancer with every year. At some point somebody (obviously not you) will have to start blaming industrial pollution, inadequately healthy junk food, car exhausts, and general lifestyle but that is directly linked to serious big bucks so the pompous and ignorant are told to blame smokers rather than look about for other factors.
Don't know if you noticed - stress levels and aggression have been rising in direct inverse ratio to reduction in smoking. Non-smokers are filled with the need to be obnoxious. Smokers should speak up for themselves a bit more often.
I have no kids or family at home, my finances would be a heck of a lot better if I didn't pay 78% of the cost of a cigarette in taxes, I am no longer allowed to affect anyone's health with public smoking, so back off, why don't you?
What anyone eats, drinks, smokes, votes or believes in is nobody's but their own unless they force it on others. I won't blow smoke in your face. Keep your unnecessary advice out of mine.
Rant ends.
Sad fact is, I like smoking. I smoke when I am thinking a problem through. I smoke after a meal, or with coffee. My man smokes, and the last cig at night is one of the best times of the day when we are together.
I am more worried about emphysema than cancer, and I accept that my habit is bad for my health. Ideal world, I would smoke 4 or 5 cigs a day instead of the 20. That's my problem.
Aaltarbox, you might want to delete my previous rant. I hadn't had my coffee and cig when I wrote it.
we never be unconscious when we smoke too much... but you can be hangover, unconscious, cause other people die if you push yourself drive home after got drunk... but do not read in blog (yet) people propaganda about "stop drink alcohol"... always "stop smoking"
CapM... your photo with a big glass of beer look so enjoyable
Alcohol does not contribute the smokes and the smell of nicotine on one's hair, clothes, bag, etc although it made your breath smells when you consumed it too much.
Amornthep, that's because, at least here, when someone got caught of consuming alcohol over the max limit while driving, their driving license would be taken out by authorities/police. Some people are aware of the strict regulation and try their best only consuming alcohol in social occasions. Drinking alcohol socially is part of the culture, it does not need to be associated with hangover and other madness that you could only imagine in your thoughts. Again, it's funny to read someone who never consumed alcohol to talk about the danger of alcohol, why I was not surprised after you talked of pork meat
I pay attention... almost in any blogs, she only attach Amort's comment.
Why... seems she always try to humiliate Amort.
People are people. It is a very rare person indeed who doesn't have any vices at all and lives their life in perfect moderation, eating no more organically-produced vegetables than necessary to sustain life, drinking natural (never bottled) water, and resisting the urge to lecture anyone who doesn't share their choices.
Everyone else is on shaky ground to others who don't share their views.
The little list you gave are all commonly found in smokers and that's why a doctor will always ask us if we smoke ie simply because it makes us high risk.
