After 12 years of smoking I have lungs that sound "horrible" according to my doctor. I've been so desperate for smokes over the years that I returned sour cream saying it was sour just to get enough money for cigarettes. A few times I even smoked other peoples cigarette butts when I ran out. Long story of why I did that.

This is my 13th hour without a cigarette. I've never gone this long. I'm on this pill called Champix (Chantix in the US). It can have some bad side effects, none of which I've experienced but the pill blocks nicotine receptors in the brain and takes away that nicotine craving. The last few days I've gotten zero satisfaction from smoking. It's great but weird not smoking. I have no desire to smoke at all. Nothing.

Any of you ever quit or tried this prescription pill?

Congratulations, I only ever smoke cigars occasionally, never really been addicted to anything before.

Thanks. Back in the days when I was drinking, I smoked cigars a lot.

Sometimes I smoke for my job, I make sure to buy either really good cigarettes or cigars, not going to kill myself with crappy over the counter smokes.

I would smoke cigars to either celebrate an achivement or occasion (like my birthday), to cheer myself up, or relax. Never more than a couple times a week though, or less.
As for drinking, well, I do enjoy a heavy drink every now and then, but never had a problem with it. I've only ever been drunk a few times, and I never really had the time to go out with mates and get drunk, I was always working, all the time, non-stop. I suppose that helped.

Anyway, I'm talking about myself way too much, this is your thread, your achievement. It must be hard to quit smoking, so well done there. As for these side-effects... what are they?

Very funny. I'm surprised Jack Thompson never jumped on MGS for promoting smoking.

Thanks but this isn't my thread. It's a discussion (mainly) for anyone that smokes. The side effects are weird dreams, constipation, drowsiness and the serious ones are thoughts of suicide (someone here will say they are glad I'm on it), and aggressive and or strange behaviour (I've opened myself up again).

I've had none of the side effects and no cravings.

You know, I never actually see people smoking in Pornos, especially not in Hentai, well I guess they are smoking, just not cigarettes.

You've never seen the porn where the chick smokes/sucks the guy off?

Okay, I was just wondering what your job is, since you made a mention of it. If you want to keep on topic, I suppose that's reasonable enough.

July 25th will be one year that I've been quit smoking. I quit cold turkey. I only smoked for close to three years though. I've had a lot of addictions that I had to quit. One a lot worse than cigarettes. I quit it and cigarettes at the same time. You know... killed two birds with one stone. It was hard. It certainly wasn't easy. Its not easy now considering all my friends smoke. I feel like a much stronger person because of what I have overcome. I'm proud of myself for quitting. You should be proud that you're quitting. Sh!t I'm proud of you. Keep it up. Quitting things that were hurting me were the best decisions I've ever made. You won't regret bettering yourself.

I have the occasional cigar....but my fiance dosn't like it so they are far between. I tried smoking when I was a kid, didn't like...it made my fingers smell like peanut butter.
