Smoking is bad for health, Smoking causes Cancer
-
If you Can't quit smoking, Try smoking less.. every cig that u put into your mouth, u live 5 mins less.
------------------
To luf someone is nothing, to be luf by someone is something, to be luf by the one you luf is everything..... -
My ex once told me that to quit smoking one has to stop completely...that means once he made up his mind to quit he cannot light another cigerette again. If he use the smoke less gradually then he will never be able to quit.
------------------
Fiddle Dee Dee! I will not think about it now, I will think about it tomorrow! -
One person cannot stop suddenly if he/she is a heavy smoker coz the body cannot take sudden change of habit without the elements that R contain in the cig. ^_^ Any suggestions? Comments?
------------------
Life is 2 short 2 be unhappy! Play Hard! ^_^ -
whether to stop smoking all depend on u.... it's not true that if u smoke less, u will quit smoking eventually...
so, the best precaution is never to start a cig. -
I agree with Alex that by reducing the sticks of cigarettes one smokes does not imply that one will stop smoking altogether. However to quit smoking, it may be more viable and easier to reduce gradually, to give time for the body to adjust. Even if eventually still never quit, at least the harm done to the body is less. The "cold turkey" treatment may be good and effective but then it is not easy to sustain for a smoker.

Of coz every cig u put in ur mouth reduces ur life by 5 mins...coz that's the time u take to finish smoking it...heheheh :Þ

Intelligence is like underwear. Everybody should have it, but nobody should show off with it. -
Does every cigarette takes 5 mins to smoke finished...?
Can one really calculate how much time it takes away from ur life...
If so, y dont we sleep 1 hr lesser everyday..? Then we would have more time in our lives..
*Come on, nobody wanna smoke in the first place.
I M A SMOKER.
------------------
Even if it is the worst, its ur attitude that change ur fate. Live it the way you choose. -
if not for the smokers...the world would have been overpopulated long ago..
and i kinda find those warnings on ciggie packs stupid..
i mean once you choose to smoke..like hell you gonna care if you gonna get cancer or watever..
they should actually try something like..
'smoking makes you poorer by 1000$ and more a yr'
arrr..hehehe -
You can stop smoking at once...!!
really... i'm a very heavy smoker myself..
not addicted.. only a habit.. so.. its not the cig. which you are addicted to..
But.. not going to quit.. every knows that smoking is harmful to your health.. even the box itself say "somking cuases Heart disease"
but who did really care?
so wat if 1 cig. less 5min of life.. -
Actually topic is about Smokking....
but i wanan ads sumthign since someone mentioned sleeping
my teacher once put out a pt to me.
a person needs 8 hrs of sleep...which means 8/24 which equals to One third.
SO it means dat a guy who spents 8 hrs everyday day sleeping with spend oNE THIRD of his LIFE SLEEPING!
frightening ain't it...
------------------
MUAhHAhahaHHAhHAhAHhHA~~ -
Kris(gees, I hate you to use this nic):
I am lacking sleep here, so do I have a longer life than others? *LOL* -
What about the poor passive smokers who have to put up with the smoker smoke ley?
Sometimes you don't have a choice but get stuck with so much smoke. No good also.
But to quit you must have determination. Without it, no need to talk. -
Heeh..... here's a method my friend tried actually. It worked in its own quirky way. Not very well, but it sorta worked.
Basically, he passed his entire bankbook and ATM card to his mother, and told her to "Do as she sees fit to get him to stop smoking." Instead of letting him have full control of his own finances. (The logic went simply as "If I have money, I can smoke, if I have no $$$, I can't smoke.) So simply, his mother followed what she did during his student days. Giving him a daily allowance of $10 or so for work, and relinquishing control on weekends.
$10 ?? How the heck is he going to survive ? But well.... what to do... he already passed his ATM card to his mother already, and he didn't want to appear "weak minded", so boh bian.
So basically, everyday, he comes home for dinner after work. (Since you normally have nothing left after eating breakfast and lunch.) And since he can't afford a pack of smoke unless he wants to go hungry for the rest of the day, he has to ask from colleagues and such.
Well.... the idea sorta worked, since eventually, his colleagues got irritated with him continuously asking for a free cigarette (they didn't know that he's on a tight rein....) and he was also paiseh to ask.
He didn't totally get off it, but he smokes lesser now.
(I think.....)

well, i believe that one has to quit smoking totally overnight. even if he/she is a very heavy smoker, it would still be the best way i believe. I myself smoke 1-2 packets a day. Thinking of quitting soon...
sheesh, 5 min less for each stick????
*counts*
damn

It's the love you have been waiting for~~~ -
Haiz,
Smoke also die, dun smoke also die.

Well said Lex... Think about it... do you really want to live that long?
------------------
Whens the end coming? Like asif I care..... -
Smoking MAY cause cancer.
It WILL cause respiratory problems but it is a different kettle of fish of health problems.
I get kinda fed up with people who are inaccurate. I put in down to sloppiness. sorri.
Still, I will have major conscience-wrangling if I have to work at BAT or Benson&Hedges.
cheers.

I think is possible to quit smokking, is just most smokers dont want to make it happen, as they think smokking is already part of their life, or maybe just cool.
First of all, i think smokers should think how did they got into smoking. To get attention? To get acceptance in a particular group? Just to be cool? so on..
Then they should think isit worth doing it, have they get what they wantted. Did the girl accept you? or did your friend actually think you are cool? Most ppl start fagging at a young age, say 12 - 16.. and they cant get rid of it when they past a certain age cause they think is not worth quiting it.
Some just think "hey im already 18, im legal to smoke" .Most smokers will only quit when 3 things past their life, money, girl/guy, health. Money, not enough money to buy.
guy/girl, your bf/gf/husband/wife demand you stop. Health, you got cancle, or other sickness related to ciggy, or someone close to you past away no thanks to ciggy.
Back to quiting smoking. Although most of my friend smokes.. about 85%, only 2 has succesfully quit smoking. Im 20 this year so there is a very high possibility most of my friend smoke. I dont smoke! those 2 that quit, ofcause there are no guaranty they wont start again. Just 2 that quit, is low %
but there is still chance.
Is just the first step they have to take.
Stop buying? Buy less? Get someone to control you? chew gum? so many.. which will work, i dont know. You just have to try if you want to quit. I dont think addiction cant be stop, i have a friend who smoke like 2 packs a day 40 sticks, but smoke less than 5 stick in 2 days while in Singapore. Was it
the tight law? or just not many smoking zone? i have no idea what got into his head during the trip, but i know if someone who smoke 40sticks a day can cut it down to less than 5 a day OVERNIGHT, that means there are chance to stop. Just when to make that first step.
I suggesst the Government make smokking law tigher, increase the price of ciggy, more tax. Why listen to them that their salary is not enough to buy ciggy, those non-smokers are the one that will suffer the most at the end. And this smokers are contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming ultimately.

Smoking bad for ur health?!?!!? Cmon guys, give me a break!!! Look at Deng Xiaoping, the old man smokes more in a day then me in a week!!!( and i m a VERY heavy smoker ) and he bloody live to a ripe old age of 90++...wau lau, best advertisement for cigarette companies.
It's all a big conspiracy from the Greens, anti-smokers and the church that we smokers are assaulted on all fronts!!! As a smoker born and bred, i have got a msg to them, F&*% off ass&*##, if u don't like my smoke, get the hell away from me. I don;t like ur breath too, doesn't mean that u have to sit outside the restaurant far away from me!!!
I derived extreme pleasure out of smoking and darn if i m going to let some inconsiderate ppl and government stop me from doing so. Hell, i prob. paid the highest income tax in this country due to my hobby of puffing.
So, get off my back u non smokers and be darned if i don't outlive all of u guys with *snigger* white lungs out there.
SMOKERS UNITE!!!!!

Thats so typical of a smoker!
" you dont like my smoke, get lost or F**K OFF! ".
Just about the same old selfish remark this ppl make, dont they ever think of the bigger picture?
OKAY i F**K OFFF!, but that wont stop me from asking the governmnet to increase tax on ciggy and fines and social work, and also cut down the number of smoking area.
I am just that typical of a non-smoker,
i dont like your smoke, so F**K OFF
------------------
Just my point of view

yeah baby!!! someone is flaming me and does this gets me work up(puffing even more)Don't we smokers get pissed off at this kind of righteous oh-high-and-mighty non-smokers....ever condemning us behind their lily white gloves *puke* Cmon man, i pay the bloody taxes like everyother ppl, slave my way thru N.S and i can't even puff in peace>!!?!?! If's its so bloody toxic and dangerous, the govt. might as well list this under their dangerous drugs catergory!!! sheeshh...now who's the unfriendly one. We smokers are always been put down in public and are treated like social outcasts. I m getting sick of all these kinds of attitude and it's time for me to settle straight the record.
So get this straight non-smokers, i have got the right to puff as long as the govt don't ban it outright. As for ur measure to narrow down our space tighter and tighter.....i m not scared and and i m not gong down without a fight!!! If u find the sight and smell of puffing disgusting, fine, go ahead and GET LOST cos no one can tell me to stop puffing!!!oh yeah, go back to the authorites u bunch of weaklings and tell them unless they want to lose a substantial amount of tax money from us, they better let us smoke in peace!!!

hmm....don't know what's so nice bout smoking la.......but ain't really gonna put those smokers down. it's their life. they do what they jolly well like with it. i can't do much anyway. well, like what Mr Hata-san says, "If u find the sight and smell of puffing disgusting, fine, go ahead and GET LOST cos no one can tell me to stop puffing!!!" true. true. very true.
i ain't no smoker by the way. just a passive one....forced to........stupid security gaurd downstairs.......(dun ask where i live...not condo) keep smoking. think he smokes at least a pack a day. hey, this is my home kz. can't ask me to get lost right? he doesn't belong here. just working here, so if he wants to smoke, he can jolly well find some place else to smoke, and not pollute our clean lungs along with his! y live so long on earth? well, i for one would like to live my whole life as it is. dun wish t die f ung cancer. what's the prbem with iving nger anyway. since like what Mr Hata-san says, smokers have their rights, we non-smokers too have our rights.
all right all right. don't flame me. 0utside, if we don't like the smoke and sight of the cig, we can go some place else, and leave them alone. agreed. but just think others and ur own health when u smoke.....
cheerios!! no offence to anyone meant. =)
peace!!
