Smoking

[peterska2]

Ok, KA's back and being nosey again.

So I just wondered who around here smokes/quit/never smoked.

So come on spill the beans.......

BTW, I'm off for a cig once this has submitted.

[Delphiprogrammi]

[nufc fan]

ooh well i do smoke while the doctors told me i need to quit or sooner or later i will get problems with my stumic but heck i can't quit it

why would smoking give problems to your stumoch

[Delphiprogrammi]

why would smoking give problems to your stumoch

people stumick is verry sentive to the "nicotine" in cigaretes in here (Belgium ) is even a warning printed smoking causes cancer and other bad stuff like not being able to have sex :rolleyes:

[KTBleeding]

why would smoking give problems to your stumochCause it's full of poisons?! hahaha

I love how you guys spelled stomache though. :) ;)

[Corriewf]

MMMMmm methol goodness.

[peterska2]

Menthol rule.

I'm running low though and can't get any more till tomorrow so it's gonna be a long night.

[nexialys]

/me smoked some socks lately.. really good for inspiration...

ok, now i remember why i had that strange sensation of dejà vu...

[Marky]

Nope - never smoked - never will ;)

[Paul M]

I gave up 20 years ago.

[peterska2]

You're showing your age there again Paul ;) :p

[Paul M]

You're showing your age there again Paul ;) :pI thought everyone knew how old I was - it's not a secret. :)

[peterska2]

Yeah but we forget then go 'Oh Pants!' when you suddenly remind us like that.

Or maybe it's just me.

[Injektilo]

damn Malboros! :devious:

[Hasann]

I am 19 years old and since 7 years smokers

[speedway]

Yup, have smoked for 25+ years. Disgusting habit that I am trying to kick, with no success yet. With the price of cigarettes down here in Aus @ $10.00+ for a 30 pack, it could be a windfall for me if I can stop!!

Cheers
Bruce

[mikelbeck]

I quit January 2nd of this year. I've been on the patch for the last few days, haven't had a cigarette at all.

Man, do I want one... Just one! But I know that one will lead to two, then four, then a pack and then I'd be right back to where I was. So I'm sticking with it!

But it's hard...

[Brad]

I've smoked for goin on five years now. Newport 100's in a box are what I smoke, pack (20 - 25) a day. I pay $2.59 for a pack.

I should add that I live in North Carolina, and a great deal of people around here smoke. There are nearly no limits on smoking in public places and we make a great deal of money on the stuff. For example Newports are made about 45 minutes from my home.

I need to quit, but you know, I drink a lot of pepsi to. ;)

[mikelbeck]

That's cheap! Around here, a pack of Marlboros is almost $5 at a smoke shop. About the same at a gas station or 7-11.

I was buying mine at an Indian reservation, paying $32 per carton - $3.20 per pack.[/QUOTE]

[Brad]

$2.59 isn't cheap, when I started I paid about $2.00 a pack. Cartons go for about $20 for most brands. The cheaper brands range from $1 - $1.50 a pack.

These are from local stores, some charge more of course. I'm aware of how cheap they are, we have a lot of people moving into the area from up north and it's all they talk about. Some have even started smoking more per day now that they can buy them for less. ;)

When I started they were less then a buck. ;)

[akanevsky]

Am not smoking, and not intending to.

[KTBleeding]

I'm quite surprised.. a lot of smokers on here..

I honestly get sick when I'm around smoke.. so I personally don't. And I'm lucky that only about.. 4% of my family smokes too. (including aunts/uncles, grandparents, etc)

Not saying .. it's a BAD thing if you smoke. I'm just lucky cause I haven't had to grow up in a black cloud of toxics. ;)

[Quillz]

I don't smoke.

[Tony G]

All I've ever done is tried a cigerette, hated it and that was that.

Although I have smoked something much worse. :p

Hehe.

It's funny how most of the smokers here are coders hehe. This is where i differ :p

I think that cigerettes are extremely nasty and cause you to get tons of things, aside from a bad smell. To be honest, i've seen drugs that may be less harmful than cigarerres. Marijuana for example is illegal, and yet it's still far less harmful IMO, the only reason it's not legal here in the USA is probably because the government does not make money off of it.

You know your anal when you start seperating your family into percentages. :squareeyed:

[jugo]

I quit smoking the day they took out my gall bladder...

Got pissed cause I was in pain and couldn't get my cigarette lit, so I threw them away and never touched them again.

Add to that, my 10 year old daughter asked me to quit sow e could "have more fun together".

I love my kids....

[BamaStangGuy]

I don't smoke often.. but everynow and then I do. Socially I guess you could say or just when I am stressed out. I smoke only Camel Turkish Silvers and I have had one pack going on 1 month now haha....

The most I have ever smoked in a certain time span would probably be my vacation I took with a couple of friends last July... Alcohol tends to make me chain smoke... during that one week I went through 4 packs.. which is a lot for me.

Cliffnotes: It's not a habit for me...

I prefer Black & Milds myself

[calorie]

[cloyal]

I smoked for over 30 years. If people need help quiting, that smoke-away works well in removing the edge and irratability that you have when quiting. Cleanse out your system well too. I quit using that and it made it a whole lot easier than patches, gum etc. Although 3 months later I started back up becuase of being on the road, I just thought maybe I'll only smoke on the road. HA

I did re-quit a year later and am now over 3 months free and traveling. Still miss it, but had to quit.

Hope that helps those that want to quit. A bit expensive for it, but has worked over all the other things I've tried.

[Snake]

Of course I do! And I will never quit smoking 'cause it gives me knowledge. :rolleyes:

[Guest190829]

Somehow the idea of ingesting chemicals and smoke into your lungs doesn't seem appealing for me....:rolleyes:

[peterska2]

Hehe.

It's funny how most of the smokers here are coders hehe. This is where i differ :p


I guess we find inspiration in the clouds of smoke then ;) :p

[Lizard King]

I wish i never start smoking but i did. I started when i was 16 years old and had an injury from my knee. I was playing basketball in eczacibasi but i had to quit because of my knee injury. I was getting way to bored at home so i decided let me smoke a cigarette. That is the worst call i made in my life.

I can't give up because i have a big stomach :P if i gave up i am afraid i'll be like 130-140kg :P

[Gio~Logist]

I guess we find inspiration in the clouds of smoke then ;) :p


Hehe :p

[Hasann]

I guess we find inspiration in the clouds of smoke then ;) :p

you are right :o

[Zachariah]

I smoked a few PSU the other day :D

[Andrew]

I smoked for almost four years during high school, but I quit two years ago during my first year of college. It's one of the few things that I don't regret from high school. If anything I think it helped me figure out that there's other ways to deal with stress than smoking and drinking.

[Revan]

Ive always said that smoking is for losers. But since about 960% of all you people smoke, I can't say that smoking is for losers here. Even though IMO smoking is indeed for losers. Cos it's true, smoking IS indeed for losers. But Im still not saying that smoking is for losers.

:p

Are you implying something there..?

I guess Revan doesn't smoke then.

/me gets ready to have another before starting coding stuff.

[Revan]

I guess Revan doesn't smoke then.Y0ur deductive skillz0rz amaze me! :p
(Plzplz note I wasn't trying to be mean, just funneh. Come on, you laughed. You did. YOU DID! [Force Persuade] You did.)

[Brad]

I love smoking, and once I finish watching football today I'm going straght to your favoirut restaurant. :p

Nah, just felt like getting the next flight over there to punch you in the nose :p

Hahahaha..

Who would have thought that cutting off the clean source of oxygen to your brain would be what brought all these wonderful hacks to the community. ;)

Maybe I should take up smoking afterall.. :rolleyes:

[Daniel]

Fourteen year old non-smoker... surprising, no?

Another thing I hate is passive smoke... ugh.. and it's so hard to get away from. >___<

To be exact, - and I have gotten this from a reliable medical source - Marijuana in small amounts is not harmful at all. In fact, it acts as a great anti-depressant. I've never used it though. Just as like I haven't used any other drugs. Cause I am never depressed. And, cause just like with smoking according to Revan, it IS for losers :D And cause the real inspiration comes from within :D

Move somewhere where smoke alarms are mandatory. And they will have to go outside to smoke :D

Yes indeed.

[BamaStangGuy]

Yet. ;)

At what point does it become a habit anyways?

I have plenty of control over when i smoke a cigarette.

Last time I smoked was Tuesday night and that was a Black & Mild and a Camel Silver.....

[Tony G]

I have a friend that smokes, and usually always in my friends car.. and opening windows does nothing.

[harmor19]

I've been smoking for atleast 4 years.

When I can't get the code right I get frustrated and smoke a cigarette.
Then while I'm smoking it I think of how I could write the code and it usually comes to me.

[akanevsky]

Install a smoke alarm in the car and have the government of your state pass a bill which will charge people who have their car smoke alarm go off :)

[Revan]

That or get a gun and tell them if they smoke in the car, the gun might go off at unwanted moments :p

[Corriewf]

That or get a gun and tell them if they smoke in the car, the gun might go off at unwanted moments :p

If you mean one of those guns with a flame that comes out as a lighter then....HELL YEAH!

[Revan]

No, you drugged up motherfkr, I mean the kind that makes pretty little holes in whatever body part you think with :p

[akanevsky]

No, you drugged up motherfkr, I mean the kind that makes pretty little holes in whatever body part you think with :p

Haha! No, bro, a bomb with a remote contol would be much more effective. ;P

[Corriewf]

Makes a hole in my cigg pack so I can get one out gun? HELL YEAH!

Haha! No, bro, a bomb with a remote contol would be much more effective. ;P

Wouldnt a bomb kill you faster then second hand smoke if you are sharing a car?

[Revan]

Makes a hole in my cigg pack so I can get one out gun? HELL YEAH!I hate you. :p

Ironically enough this smiley was the very FIRST in the smilie panel in this reply: :smoke:

[akanevsky]

Wouldnt a bomb kill you faster then second hand smoke if you are sharing a car?

I thought I said "remote control"...

[who is chris c]

i just lace the cig's with other drugs people tend to like that

[Corriewf]

I thought I said "remote control"...


So your saying the car is remote controlled? You are not making any sense now. :rolleyes:

Yes, I did that on purpose.

[akanevsky]

So your saying the car is remote controlled?
Not the car. The bomb that you put in there in advance in case someone starts smoking : :rambo:

[Corriewf]

Not the car. The bomb that you put in there in advance in case someone starts smoking : :rambo:

Oh ok so you put the bomb in there, the remote, but why would you blow the remote up?

[Guest190829]

Oh ok so you put the bomb in there, the remote, but why would you blow the remote up?

I think it's time for your nap...:)

[akanevsky]

Oh ok so you put the bomb in there, the remote, but why would you blow the remote up?

Ok, let me make it easier for you: Attach the bomb to the smoke alarm and have it go off whenever the alarm does. Make sure that you never come near that car though :)

[Chris M]

I used to smoke, and have the occasional one now and then - Never been addicted and never will be; I like a smoke now and then but I don't go jittery or start crawling up walls if I don't have one for a few days :)

Chris

[peterska2]

Well I'm off to submerge myself in acloud of smoke while holding on the phone for my host coz my server has just gone down while right in the middle of coding something. I am not a happy bunny at the moment.

And my darn keyboard is now having a wobbler too.

[BrandiDup]

Started smoking when I was 13 :( Smoked 'til my husband (boyfriend at the time) and I got serious enough to start thinking about getting married and having a family together, then quit cold turkey. I wanna do whatever I can to see my great-grandkids one day. I've lost several family members to lung cancer who weren't nearly old enough to go. :( *sigh*

[Lea Verou]

I smoke too much, more than one pack per day but luckily they are very light cigarettes...

At what point does it become a habit anyways?

I have plenty of control over when i smoke a cigarette.

Last time I smoked was Tuesday night and that was a Black & Mild and a Camel Silver.....

I became addicted after 1.5-2 years of smoking. Before that I was able to not smoke for days, I only smoked when I wanted to. Now I just can't stay a single day without smoking :(

[peterska2]

Woo-hoo

2 releases = fag break followed closely by a mug of horlicks and bed.

[edit]or maybe not as my bedroom is freezing (forgot to open the door and there isn't any heating in there :() Guess I'll be here a bit longer then ;) :p

[Tony G]

Install a smoke alarm in the car and have the government of your state pass a bill which will charge people who have their car smoke alarm go off :)

Sounds like a plan, need a pressure-to-change group though who's loud and can protest. :p

[peterska2]

I hope you are not recommending some of the guys here ;)

We'ed have a riot on our hands!!!!

[BamaStangGuy]

lol I had to do a double take on the fag break part.. not used to seeing cigs called fags

[Brad]

lol I had to do a double take on the fag break part.. not used to seeing cigs called fags

Me too. ;)

I've also lost my lighter, so I'm off to heat up the stove..:)

[Corriewf]

OHHHH ok I see. How about this, you set up your smoke alarm triggered bomb to go off when smoke is detected and I will set up mine to detect too much air...That way we will all live in fear.

[Chris M]

lol I had to do a double take on the fag break part.. not used to seeing cigs called fags

Cigarettes are called fags or ciggys in the UK - Unfortunately most people tend to get confused when you say "I'm going outside for a fag", and they think you are going outside to find a gay person >.>

Yea I know, just not used to it

[Asi9ine]

Never smoked, and never will. It is a horrible habit, and is slowly killing my Dad. What better deterrent is there than that?

[peterska2]

Me too. ;)

I've also lost my lighter, so I'm off to heat up the stove..:)

I've got a spare. Wanna borrow?
