Smoking is bad - really bad

http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/attachme...7&d=1381468319

But the good news is that those who quit in their 20s or 30s avoid about 90 per cent of the excess risk compared with those who never smoked.

"We used to say in the 1960s that smoking was like throwing dice in terms of whether you would die from it or not," Australian National University health expert Emily Banks said. "Then we said it was like tossing a coin. Now, we're...read more here: Smoking is bad - really bad

A few weeks ago on a different thread I proudly posted that I've been smoke free for just over a year. I am ashamed to announce that I have relapse and now sitting smoke free for about 2 hours...:(

It's cool, now we just need to get you back on track. May the power of strangers on the internet judging you compel you to quit again.

Well I dreamt something that cannot be told without strict adult restrictions...but that's not the point. The point is DO NOT START SMOKING AGAIN...

Quitting is easy man, I've done it loads of time :D

Seriously though, most recently I've made it at least a year, with a little slip-up here and there like having one on the golf course, or sharing a cigar to celebrate a friend's new baby, things like that.

I don't mind smokers, hell I've been one half my life, but the one thing that really gets to me is pregnant women who smoke.

Think this is year 13 or so that I've been smoke free ..... hit my mid 20's and realised that I just didn't need or want them anymore so went cold turkey on the spot. I gave up drinking and drugs at the same time but the drinking came back after 2 years :D

Good on you!! :D It takes a lot of determination and self discipline to go cold turkey like that and actually say clean!! Well done

I was smoke free for about 8 hours when I started reading this thread (sleep), but then I took a sip of my coffee and lit a cigarette.

I don't really see why people make such a fuss about smoking killing you eventually. We're all gonna die anyway, might as well go out in style. :p

I've tried and experimented, but never felt as though I'd become addicted to the substance. It's interesting, because I usually get a addicted to something very easily.
