Natty Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 And now I'm quitting smoking. I've had my 6months rebellion thingo (how sad, at 22 I decide to rebel) but hey, it was great while it lasted. Lets just see if this cough I've had will now go away. Or lets see how long I last. Back to chupa chups for me when I get cravings.
Alien426 Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 Lollipops don't work, try heroin instead.
NiKo Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 I dont see how calling a cigarette 'ciggie' makes smoking cute:indif:
Feral Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 It's a British and, apparently, Australian colloquialism.
DrMcCoy Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 my mom made it by chewing a lot of chewing gum... (~ 10 years ago...)
Joshi Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 Gum doesn't work either, try alcohol. Turn your cigarette addiction to an alcohol addiction, They're more fun! (no, I'm not being serious, before anyone comes along and starts yelling about me being a bad role model to this girl whose 4 years older than me) I don't get why people go cold turkey, chickens much tastier! No seriously, why not just phase it out, cut don on cigaretts a bit and then just keep cutting down until you stop. Cold turkey makes people angry an aggressive.
Natty Posted September 13, 2004 Author Posted September 13, 2004 I was only smoking 4's so it's not like they were really strong. Anyways, had my last one on Saturday night and it's now Monday afternoon and I'm fine. Not a single craving yet. I'm so proud of myself
Darth Groovy Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Hmmm I quit for almost two years, yet I started up with the War in Iraq. I origninally stopped because the girl of my interest thougt it was "icky". Then she started, and I started during he war in Iraq, becuase she was going to join the army. She never did....yet I am still smoking. This time I just lack the willpower to WANT to quit. *lights up a Camel Turkish Jade Menthol*
DrMcCoy Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 well, i never smoked and i intend to continue not smoking... and i hate people who smoke while i'm around... i don't care if they wreck their health, but they also wreck my health (and the environment... and why do these people always have to throw their cigarettes to the ground?)
Sivy Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 good luck to you Natty. if you've only been smoking 6 months then it shouldn't be too hard to quit. i've cut down a lot recently. i find there are two times in a day when the cravings become too much. so now i try just to have a cigarette at those times. so i've gone from 10 a day to 2 a day. i'm in a vicious circle though because i'm a big worrier, i worry about everything even if there's really nothing to worry about. and its one of the reasons i smoke because it calms me. now people say to me 'aren't you worried you'll get cancer or heart disease' and i'm like 'of course, i'm a worrier... i worry about it so much its drives me to smoking.'
Skinkie Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 I hate the smell of it, makes me nautious.
Darth Groovy Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Originally posted by Feral It's a British and, apparently, Australian colloquialism. I thought you guys called them "fags" over there.
Sivy Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 yeah but there's just too much confusion nowadays... you shout "does anyone know where i can find some fags?!" in the street, people always get the wrong end of the stick.
Joshi Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 You shout Originally posted by Siv people always get the wrong end of the stick. in the street and people always get the wrong end of the stick. but yeah, contrary to popular belief we no longer call cigarettes "fags" (well, okay, some people do, when a girl says "I'm going out for a fag" we generally know what she's talking about, I don't know too many men who say that) but we've always called them ciggies.
Darth Groovy Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 So it's a FEMALE thing eh? Thanks for clearing that up. Some of you may know leXX from JK.net, and she says that all the time. Took me a while to get used to it, but it all makes more sense now. Man, how I LOVE the British!
Sivy Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 it came from the days when firewood was called faggots, tobacco was known as shag, queer was something strange and gay meant happy. you can see the confusion if we still talked like that... "Nothing makes me more gay than a shag with a queer taste" said Gandalf, while he sucked on Pippin's pipe. "Quick! throw another a faggot on the fire!" said Frodo, "No Mary, i didn't mean Sam!"
NiKo Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 Originally posted by Siv "Nothing makes me more gay than a shag with a queer taste" said Gandalf, while he sucked on Pippin's pipe. I first read it as : "while he sucked on Pippin's nipple" that was so much gayer
Joshi Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 Originally posted by NiKo I first read it as : "while he sucked on Pippin's nipple" that was so much gayer Just shows how twisted your mind is
Guybrush122 Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 isn't a cigarette called a "fag" in the UK/Australia? talk about a double entendre.

Second hand smoke is real, but thrown WAY out of proportion with by the anti-smoking agencies (who use methods of advertising that are almost worse than the tobacco companies themselves). That statistics of people who "die" from second hand smoke are actually from documents of anybody who got disease that can be connected to smoking (lung cancer, emphasima (sp?), heart disease etc.) but can be caused by a lot of other things than smoking. It's most likely all the exhaust from the traffic, or the smog, or just the air pollution (which goes along with smog, but what the hell, right?) I'm against smoking, but it's a right of the people. I'm royally pissed off by all these anti-smoking adds and hate it when those asses call nice people "killers" because they smoke.
DrMcCoy Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Originally posted by JofaGuht Second hand smoke is real, but thrown WAY out of proportion with by the anti-smoking agencies may be, but it's still unhealthy (and annoying like hell... i really can't stand the smell... besides, i've got problems with my bronchi anyway, so it won't do any good to me...)
