Though the logic was bordering on ad-absurdum, still it was reason enough for me to take the plunge. The point was that I firmly believed (I still do), as someone said that people who don’t have vices are bound to have some pretty annoying virtues. So I always used to romanticize of about having a vice, which after being years of practice gets entrenched within me that it almost becomes innate. And to get rid of it one day would require last ounce of willpower and determination, which will be near (if not in totality) nirvana like experience. But then a year back my fickle mind had one-of-the-many-to-come epiphanies. And I came to the conclusion- “never reach a point where you need to quit something”. So here I am, all hale and hearty, and smoking my lungs out. The gist is to smoke, but not to burn.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Statutory Warning- If you are having hacking cough please consult a doc (if you haven’t), and join a gym (again, if you haven’t) coz of the kilos of rebound weight you might gain. Sorry for being pedantic, but think this as an advice coming from a friendly guy next door who happens to be doc. Get well soon. :)Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06499692301901640153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-66202344710054118892008-01-14T03:42:00.000+05:302008-01-14T03:42:00.000+05:30I called my father and told him, “Dad, I have quit...I called my father and told him, “Dad, I have quit smoking!”<BR/>He retort backs, “Son, you are quitter!”<BR/><BR/>Can it get any worse than this?!?Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06499692301901640153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-2578126967045121262008-01-13T21:14:00.000+05:302008-01-13T21:14:00.000+05:30if you are scared of cancer heres a factonly 1 out...if you are scared of cancer heres a fact<BR/>only 1 out of 2 people who smoke get cancer<BR/>so you can take your chances honeyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-51920742372122213822008-01-11T16:16:00.000+05:302008-01-11T16:16:00.000+05:30"pffffffft, what's a little cancer?)" haha thats h..."pffffffft, what's a little cancer?)"<BR/> haha thats hilarious. keep it up gal i know u can do itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-35478802063596384512008-01-11T12:33:00.000+05:302008-01-11T12:33:00.000+05:30how about thinking ...are better with it, or you a...how about thinking ...<BR/>are better with it, or you are better off without it ?<BR/>pretty sure you would then have a better resolve to keep it away!<BR/>sincerely hope it works for u...<BR/>believe me you are doing the right thing!<BR/>chocolates in small dosage aren't that bad<BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>shshr.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-64487397912231271632008-01-11T11:06:00.000+05:302008-01-11T11:06:00.000+05:30Every year I reolve to quit smoking and every year...Every year I reolve to quit smoking and every year I smoke.

Drank loads and loads of water so you are in the loo half the time to battle the craving. (if you used smoke when you take a crap then try lollipop then). Look at this site http://quitsmoking.about.com/cs/afterquitting/a/after_quitting.htm and keep telling yourself as every moment passes or every milestone passes the benefits your body is getting. Drink loads of juice. try climbing the stairs and you will notice the difference in the way you breathe and every time you get a craving remind yourself of the great healthy feeling you got when you climbed the stairs.<BR/>Psst and sex is great too cos you can you know do it longer without losing your breath.<BR/>All the bestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-54400912821259989032008-01-10T09:47:00.000+05:302008-01-10T09:47:00.000+05:30@fob- What if you don't get run over by that car!@fob- What if you don't get run over by that car!Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05360559643649663621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-8280822171099588242008-01-10T08:11:00.000+05:302008-01-10T08:11:00.000+05:30i smoked so much in the two weeks before and after...i smoked so much in the two weeks before and after NY that I coughed myself to death and I convinced myself smoking would help clear the phlegm.I havent smoked in two days and its quite difficult!And its seriously not worth the effort.No point worrying about lung cancer if I'm going to get run over by a car tomm rightFOBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16586631030230962560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-78183771567536671172008-01-10T02:07:00.000+05:302008-01-10T02:07:00.000+05:30with a carrot resmebling a ciggie, you were smokin...with a carrot resmebling a ciggie, you were smoking Cristo number two's or what?<BR/><BR/>Oh! and to help you quit, there is always the stuff that Shiva boomed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-73690728014664318422008-01-10T01:24:00.000+05:302008-01-10T01:24:00.000+05:30Just cutting it off won't do it.

Just takes one puff while having cut off completely and you're back on your regular few packs a day.<BR/>Way we did it was handed the box of cigarettes to a non-smoker(me), and put off the desire to smoke one until a fixed time, say midnight. Cut down to about 5 a day, then 3 a day, then 2, then 1.

I don't agree with Brad about lifelong temptation. Once the habit gets out of your system (give it 2 months), its gonna be alright. And then, everytime you get a craving, you can remind yourself of why you quit in the first place and how difficult it was to let ago. Oh, and Happydent helped in my case.Manish Bhatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997744740964640385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-65766439125986567092008-01-09T14:40:00.000+05:302008-01-09T14:40:00.000+05:30Im surprised... no "Prayogshala" references?
