Dont ever try! I have smoked one cigarette, in almost four years and when I did it I said what the hell are you doing… It’s a crazy habit ---

how did sir walter raleigh sell cigerettes to people anyway? I can imagine the description going somthing like this: \*\*“hi there!, I’ve got this GREAT idea, lemme show ya.” “first, get some paper. right? good!” “now get some leaves, crush them up and roll them up in the paper. Make it like a pencil or somthing.” “ok, now put the paper/leaf roll in you mouth. not all of it, just the tip, leave a bit hanging.” “NOW SET FIRE TO IT AND BREATH IN THE SMOKE!”\*\* crazy mother… ---

> \*Originally posted by fester8542 \* > \*\*thanx folks! I was just about to snag a smoke from my roomate before I read this thread again :THUMB: Im not going to now :beam: \*\* Good luck with it! And once you’re not addicted anymore, do what many said before me: [SIZE=3]DO NOT START AGAIN!! EVER!!! EVEEEEEEER!!![/SIZE] I never smoked in my life, but I guess this is a pretty hard thing to _not_ do for an ex-smoker. ---

Well hell… lets just make it the great Kirupa Smokeout then… I have been meaning to quit anyway… Any more smokers out there? Nows the time to quit. I will go home tonight and destroy the rest of the carton I have. :evil: Fester has a good point… Do I really like setting fire to $130 a month? No… Not really… Think of the money, and lung tissue that can be saved. If I can give up caffene, nicotine shouldn’t be a problem. 😉 Cheers! -Niann ---

you gave up caffine? I could never do that. I need my early morning coffee and my half-hourly dose of chocolate. (I guess i wouldn’t make a good Mormon then…) ---

> \*Originally posted by fester8542 \* > \*\*I am also sick of having a $130/mo habbit. Id much rather spend that on beer or video games. \*\* Very well said - sure it will rot your brain, but at least you will be able to breath and wont die of smoke induced cancer (the most common kind) You can do it dude… no doubt. We’re all proud of you. I have yet to even try a cig… my whole family smokes eccept for my bro and myself and it’s the best decision I have ever made. Great work man! ---

yeah, you go for it man. To be fair i have tried smoking a couple of times and i can sorta see why people do it. With me it relaxed me, although i’ve been told that the effect doesn’t happen after smoking loads and all you do it for is the nicotine addiction. Because i’ve tried a few, i can safely say that smoking is not for me. ---
