I don't know whether I should try and quit smoking or not - LancerImpact - 01-06-2012 This might seem like a stupid thread for non-smokers but I am sure some smokers can relate. I have been smoking for about 3 months now. Canadian smokes, Belmont. I smoke at least once everyday and I really do enjoy it. I don't know why, I just do. But on the other hand, I am aware of cancer and other health problems related to smoking. BUT the thing is, I LIKE smoking. Why should I stop doing what I like? Man this thread barely makes sense LOL. I just don't know what to do or how to phrase it. RE: I don't know whether I should try and quit smoking or not - D3xus - 01-06-2012 Try to phase out of it gradually instead of all at once. Smoke once every two days for a week; then once every three days then decrease from there until you're barely smoking.

It would just be weird if I don't smoke??? I dont know... RE: I don't know whether I should try and quit smoking or not - Yellows - 01-06-2012 Why should you stop doing what you like? You've got to make reasons up for yourself, but if I were in your situation I'd think about the negatives of smoking such as the health problems, yellow teeth and skin, and of course; the smell. RE: I don't know whether I should try and quit smoking or not - Zangetsu - 01-06-2012 Well it is apparent that you like it and have no intention on stopping. My advice would be to just have one or two a day. That way you would at least be getting that excitement that you want but not putting yourself in a potentially dangerous situation. Normally I'd advise people to stop but you seem to have your mind set to keep on going.

Even doing just 1 or 2 a day gives you a chance to become more addicted. Even if you did 1 or 2 a day, the chance of health problems is there as well. RE: I don't know whether I should try and quit smoking or not - skorch - 01-06-2012 Quitting would be the best plan. Ask for support from friends an family. The feeling of being supported can help you achieve and succeed. RE: I don't know whether I should try and quit smoking or not - Grin - 01-06-2012 I'll tell you why you should stop. Cause you will most likely die at a young age with severe side effects of cancer and other diseases.

Yellow teeth and skin, maybe you should start smoking too Yellows jkjk Jokes aside, those aspects do not really bother me. My only fear is cancer. But such a small percentage of smokers get cancer from cigarettes... I've been telling myself I would quit when it snows. Its January and no snow lol. Is that a sign? RE: I don't know whether I should try and quit smoking or not - King - 01-07-2012 If you're not 100% committed to stopping, don't even bother trying to. |
