"If you dont do what i tell you ,i"m going to smoke myself to death "
P.S O.P.

In my opinion, no. Prior to its introduction to Europe, tobacco served both religious and medicinal purposes to the peoples of the Americas. Unfortunately, nicotine, one of the active ingredients, is highly addictive, yet, the isolation of the tobacco mosaid virus led to huge advances in the field of virology. In modern times, tobacco companies with their advertising campaigns, almost made it appear that NOT smoking was an affront to proper societal conventions. Like coffee, alcohol, and numerous other drugs, it is just that,.....a drug that can lead to addiction. Granted, addictions within a populace do affect society, but I would not term this a rebellion against said society.

Thanks Lucy. It' s funny how it goes I used to be able to take a smoke or leave it some years ago. Not now though, I would call it an addiction, like serene mentioned a few posts back. Well I suppose I am a work in progress.------ This poll is Archived ------

Yes I pondered on that too Joey
I had little problem taking a break when I was younger and pregnant with my two children (even though I was fangin' for one when the time was right lol)...
But as time passed I realized I was taking my smoking needs into consideration when choosing holiday accommodation, social events etc

Interesting, I have a feeling it will be more that just quitting for me. I will likely need to change my routine, maybe do some new things. Stay away from smokers for awhile. I quit for 5 weeks in the summer of 2008. I made one mistake. I had that one smoke and I' ve been at ever since. Not much sense in talking about quitting though, I know that. So in the meantime I am just gonna keep taking minutes off my life, one cigarette at a time.But as time passed I realized I was taking my smoking needs into consideration when choosing holiday accommodation, social events etc

Well work in progress..the scaffolding has been around my person for so many years to support smoking..my fear is if removed will I suddenly decline in health as my body has been taking this drug for so long..I have known people who stopped smoking and then their own health started to become erratic, yet on the other hand also know of a man who was told he had cancer so he decided what the heck if am going am going in style so he maxed his credit cards and went on a 3 month binge of drink and smokes also (women) then to his horror he went into remission...that was 15 years ago

Totally get what you're saying here Stedan
Having been a smoker for so long, my body seemed to accommodate it.. I had made a point at the same time (and still do) of keeping myself fit and active, adopting a vegetarian diet and a generally healthy outlook.
But I've noticed since that I never puff and pant even after strenuous exercise, my occasional morning cough no longer exists and colds do not 'go to' my chest.
I had to look for these positive signs, believe me
as I hope I will never be one of those detested 'reformed' smokers .. I doubt it as I understand addiction in its many forms and like to think I get it ------ This poll is Archived ------

whether am lucky in the physical sense in that colds or ailments of chest are none existent..head colds yes..can sprint 100 metres bit puffed at end but the ability to do is still there.. a relative of mine quit at 70 and she used sipping glasses of water whenever she felt the urge to smoke..however recently at 78 she developed skin cancer on her leg..so go figure?

hiya joey
i think that quiting smoking is not much different of taking other important personal decision....
and i agree that it implies a major change in life which i would personally consider an asset as i'm not too fond of any routine..
i guess the trick is always the same: you find love when you stop looking for it, you loose weight when you stop counting calories and you quit smoking when you stop counting days without a cigarette...

Smoking is a taboo in a way that it wasn't before. So yes. But rebellious doesn't mean that something's brave or cool or in some way romantic to do.

If I read your post correctly, T. Rex is just another moniker for the knuckle draggers and other assorted primitives ,aka, neanderthals that still infest any civilized society, just as much as trash on city streets of run-down, crime infested neighbourhoods...
