Fay I will drink to that then. I am happy for your being able to quit. I know how difficult it is because I have so many friends who are trying to quit but can't. The one that was able to quit? She still has her fingers pointed out like she is holding one but of course, she is happy, it is just that.
Unfayzed lol I hope this will not be enough a reason for you to have a relapse. If it is, please stay away and don't let yourself hyped up to get the habit back. Like you said, nicotine smell or stopping what you are doing to smoke is good enough reason not to lite one.
Me too, oh boy did I enjoy the thrill of just reading their comments?
I miss them too, Ms. Witch. Not that I allow myself to be thrilled any more, just that it is a nice feeling to log on to the site and just enjoy the thrill of reading them. Respectful and full of sense.
There are still many on here, I am just concerned about one stupid poster, who is always putting down everyone because he thinks our IQ is very low. I find him the stupidest poster for not understanding that we are all different. In terms of culture, customs, understanding and intellectual capability. And of course, as far as he is concerned, I am the stupidest poster, too. What a joke.
Elle, I can't see any reason why the need to stop provided it is alright with the smokers who feel good smoking.
If however, on situation like my friends who regretted every minute of their lives once they were having a had time breathing at such a young age, I do urge for them to seek help and change if that is at all possible. I know some who has done it and enjoy every minute of their life for no longer have the need to smoke. There is one good friend of mine who gained so much weight but she is not regretting having quit the habit. She is considering having a lipo section or something like that to reduce her weight.
My ex of 28 years (married for 28 years, together fr 30 years) quit for ten years and then went back and can never quit again, even after trying so hard so many times.
Z, please do keep on enjoying the benefit of calming you down as I love you to be here posting very sensible if not outright logical opinions on your blogs or your comments on other's blogs, including mine.
I will never stop you from enjoying those benefit {s} and believe me, you are one I most respect and admire as a blogger and a poster.
I don't mean to say that I have to have the right to stop you, I meant as a friend, I would never change you in any way shape or form. Carry on and be as you are. My respects.
Blue you may personally choose to say that there is no benefit to smoking but with due respect, there are actually known benefits as provided by some posters and there goes my respect to their reasons, medically correct or not.
Alan, there are established benefit and I will not dispute them. I just make it my personal choice to prefer non smoking. Having said that, I will never be with anyone as a partner or lover who smokes. Nor will I approve of any of my children and or grand children to be smoking. Like I said, I am thankful none of them smoke.
Now I notice since California has legalized Marijuana, I know some people that used to smoke only cigarettes now prefer to smoke weed. Is it better? I am not sure. I do know you can drive while smoking cigarette but it is against the law to be under the influence of this drug while operating a machine or driving.
I do want to make a point. My father in law smoked two packs a day for the rest of his life and guess what, he lived up to 95 and very strong and had no illness. He was Irish. Now that is probably one of the exception to the general rule.
Ms. Witch I am wondering about the rest of the comments of Elle, but as usual, she is very good at injecting humor on her comments. Just the same they are valid as her own opinion. I won't disagree in anyways.
Biff boy those are good enough reason, then I guess it is worth the habit then. I love the less likely to have knee injury for having less exercise. I have been doing exercise for the last 45 years and never had one injury, though. lol
I avoid people who smoke. Thank God California is very strict on this rule. Even if you are in an open space like waiting for the bus, if there are three people that gets affected by your smoking, they literally have the right to accost you and stop smoking.
I don't smoke String. I was married to one who quit for 10 years. Went back to smoking for the rest of the 18 years and I wasn't happy. He tried to quit for the second time, tried everything and nothing worked.
Thank God he instructed our children never to smoke and none of them do. He didn't smoke inside the house or in our cars.

Smoking and its benefits
B I know you have a very unique sense of humor and I am sure, there is no malice intended on the question, or is there?
