smokers: how much do you smoke?

[nerve]

I'm just wondering. I had 7 three days ago, 8 the next day, 9 the next, and I'm about to have my tenth today. I'm just wondering how often other smokers smoke.

Did you make the necklace? I need to send you some new goodies. =)

[nerve]

yeah, I'm going to make some to sell. I'm going to sell art and accessories to make enough for my visit <3 and yes, both my lollipops broke :'( let's do a necklace trade!

Before I stopped smoking 2 years ago, I was up to 2 packs a day (40 cigarettes)... Then I read a book and saw how I was caught in quicksand, and stopped with no problems. I haven't had one since... www.theeasywaytostopsmoking.com Video about it [HERE]

When I smoked, it was only really one or two a day. Just to be sociable really.

[Oneironaut Zero]

I used to smoke a pack a day since I was about 15 (nearly two packs a day during/after certain types of parties). I'd tried to quit a bunch of times, but since everyone I've ever lived with always had cigs, I was always bumming them, even when I refused to by them for myself. But now I'm not surrounded by them all day, so I've quit, and don't even feel the urge anymore. I've had maybe two cigs, socially, since New Years. Go me.

When I first read this, my mind entered the word "packs" somewhere, so I thought that you were saying that you smoke 7-10 packs a day! Nice job, O!

[nerve]

haha, well, i didn't say. i definitely meant cigarettes.

I seriously recommend all you smokers take an hour and watch that video I linked up top...Actually... I dare you to.. I'd be willing to bet a large sum of money that no one would want a cigarette after watching that... As a matter of fact, I wasn't even trying to quit and since it was a quick read and my friend bet me some money to read the book then see if I still wanted to smoke, I figured, "What the hell?", and I went from 40 cigarettes a day to 0...I haven't wanted or missed one since. Go figure. Honestly... What's there to be afraid of?

Go figure. Honestly... What's there to be afraid of? How much is a large sum, and how do you propose to send it to me, money order or check? I don't have paypal, otherwise that would also be a good choice.

[Cyclic13]

I can't make any promises about the effectiveness of the video because I didn't use it to quit... But, I'll seriously do it if you watch the video, and then read the book and are prepared to answer some questions in MSN chat about certain specific things mentioned in it... If you are still smoking after that, and show me a time stamped image of it. I'll pay you whatever you think is fair. Like reimbursement for the book and whatever time of yours it took. Cuz, to put it bluntly, only a retard would step back into the fire after being doused of his flames. Do it first, then we'll talk methods of payment because I don't need a dime and I know I'm going to win. Just to let you know, the author of the book was 100 a day to 0. Time to step up to the plate. Sh:t or get off the pot...

[Xaqaria]

Actually, I was just joshin you. The reason why I said it was that I smoke with full knowledge of how to quit and what it is doing to me. I do it for the same reasons why I take other drugs; I like to do it. I know it is an addiction too, and there are times when I am compelled to do it because of this addiction, but I have stopped smoking (for money) and then started again. I smoke at the very most 5 cigarettes a day, but often times I'll smoke 1 or 2 and be happy. If I can find the book for free somehow (its possible, I have my ways) I'll read it; but otherwise I feel no strong urge to pay for it, especially since I doubt very much that you'll be sending me a check. No offense.

I still do other drugs, as well. The skewed logic with smoking nicotine, though, is the illusory misperception of it actually doing anything to better your state of mind. You essentially continually strive to get back to how you felt before you started smoking. At least when I do a hit of ecstasy or acid I know I'm noticeably entering a different state of mind which can be returned to normalcy afterwards. Smoking cigarettes, on the other hand, is all smoke and mirrors. Pardon the pun. A subconscious veil pulled over your own mind tricking you into the illusion of relief when in fact your irritation gets worse and worse with each one. When you see the illusion for what it is, you'll simply walk away from it with no fuss, as I, and millions of others did.

[Oneironaut Zero]

Nice job, O! Thanks!

[Cyclic13]

Hey, O. Nice job. But, seriously man... if you can make the time check that video out. An even better number to be at is 0.

Actually, if you don't smoke like a fiend, you can get a high from a cigarette, which I do (almost) every time I smoke one. Like I said, I'm not trying to regain normalcy by smoking, I enjoy smoking in and of itself. I really don't get that irritated when I don't smoke either.

[Terrorhawker]

I smoke around 10-15 a day and about 30 in the timespace of roughly 3 hours when I'm drinking. (No, I'm not an alcoholic, I'm 15). I've tried to quit a few times but it's harder when all your mates smoke because there is a huge temptation to have one.

[NeAvO]

Don't congratulate O, he still smokes on New years! That's still smoking Bad O!

[Oneironaut Zero]

But, seriously man... if you can make the time check that video out. An even better number to be at is 0. I'll check it out, but I already know thousands of reasons why 0 is a better number. Heh. Don't congratulate O, he still smokes on New years! That's still smoking Bad O! Yeah...that's right, NeAvO...go ahead and steal my thunder. *sniffle*

[Mes Tarrant]

The thing I dislike the most about people who smoke (more specifically, if they're smoking at the time or just finished like 10 mins ago) is the way they SMELL. No offense.

[Adrenaline Junkie]

I don't understand this whole social smoking thing, its a bit silly in my opinion, you either smoke or you don't, simple as. There are those who are more addicted than others, but either way, if you continue to smoke them, you must have some attraction/reason for smoking them, most likely because you enjoy them, otherwise what would be the point in smoking? I never smoked, and i never intend to, ever.

[Cyclic13]

i will read the book Nice. I'm serious about the money back thing, by the way. That's how much confidence I have in this method. So go out and get the book ASAP. It takes only about one light day to read and it's broken up into easy to read sections of 5-6 page chapters so you can read it whenever you get a moment. 5 minutes here, 10 minutes there... I'll check it out, but I already know thousands of reasons why 0 is a better number. Heh. I already knew all the facts and scare tactics, as well. The way in which they lay out the logic, simply cannot be argued or denied. They even ask you to smoke throughout the entire thing. The author used the hypnotic method when writing the book. It wasn't like he's brainwashing you, because if you smoke you are already brainwashed. He just slowly removes the years and years of subliminal programming that got you to smoke in the first place, and think it actually does something for you. Then you just walk away unscathed. I mean, it's not like you were born with a cigarette in your mouth, so anything anyone ever misses about it when they quit is completely mental. And, in the end, an illusion.... which once realized, simply disappears...

[Oros]

I have decided to never smoke a cigarette. it will never work. Last time i was so close to take one was today. my friend got some from africa when he was there. It feels useless to, cuz i smoke waterpipe and stuff like that anyway. It seems like you're going the wrong way, from 7 to 10. it should be less, not more.. :p
