View Full Version : Wish me luck...
...after nearly eight years of smoking...i finally decided yesterday that enough is enough.
I normally smoke about 20 a day and today is the first day in a loooong time that i have gone without...im desperately going to try to kick it...especially now that ive taken up snowboarding...nothing worse that a smoking asthmatic at the top of a mountain...im worried id just keel over!
A 22 year old shouldnt get out of breath as easily as i do....

WOOHOO!!!! Good for you!!!!
I've never smoked, but I work in a hospital, so I see what happens to smokers over time as they get older, and I can tell you that it's NOT pretty, and it definately doesn't look fun! My husband has seen a few of his relatives die from the effects of smoking too.
Best of luck! I'm proud of you!

you can do it!!!!!!!
I smoked for a year, two packs a day at my worse. Quit and I loved it, and think of the money you will save! Start putting the money that you would spend a day on smokes, and put it towards a trip for snowboarding,a season pass, or new gear! you will feel great.
Pick up a lot of gum =)
...im gona buy a HUGE tub of sugar free ones and every time i feel the urge...ill have one of those instead! Ill probably need gum too though...!
Thankyou spotty fish and naked hiker :usa2:

I quit in december. my first few times out snowboarding this season i was dying by the time i made it to the bottom of the hill. but by the end of the season i could get to the bottom and practically run to the lift again. definitely doing cardio after you quit helps.
spotty, with that picture, how long was the one on the right smoking for?
This helped me want to quit too. It's from the American Cancer Society's webpage
When Smokers Quit – What Are the Benefits Over Time?
20 minutes after quitting: Your heart rate drops.
(US Surgeon General's Report, 1988, pp. 39, 202)
12 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.
(US Surgeon General's Report, 1988, p. 202)
2 weeks to 3 months after quitting: Your circulation improves and your lung function increases.
(US Surgeon General's Report, 1990, pp.193,194,196,285,323)
1 to 9 months after quitting: Coughing and shortness of breath decrease; cilia (tiny hair like structures that move mucus out of the lungs) regain normal function in the lungs, increasing the ability to handle mucus, clean the lungs, and reduce the risk of infection.
(US Surgeon General's Report, 1990, pp. 285-287, 304)
1 year after quitting: The excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's.
(US Surgeon General's Report, 1990, p. vi)
5 years after quitting: Your stroke risk is reduced to that of a nonsmoker 5-15 years after quitting.
(US Surgeon General's Report, 1990, p. vi)
10 years after quitting: The lung cancer death rate is about half that of a continuing smoker's. The risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, cervix, and pancreas decrease.
(US Surgeon General's Report, 1990, pp. vi, 131, 148, 152, 155, 164,166)
15 years after quitting: The risk of coronary heart disease is that of a nonsmoker's.
(US Surgeon General's Report, 1990, p. vi)
Visible and Immediate Rewards of Quitting
Quitting helps stop the damaging effects of tobacco on your appearance including:
premature wrinkling of the skin (I've seen some wrinkly-ass young people who coincidentally smoke)
bad breath
stained teeth
gum disease
bad smelling clothes and hair
yellow fingernails
Kicking the tobacco habit also offers benefits that you'll notice immediately and some that will develop gradually in the first few weeks. These rewards can improve your day-to-day life substantially:
Food tastes better.
Sense of smell returns to normal
Ordinary activities no longer leave you out of breath (climbing stairs, light housework, etcetera.)
...yeah that picture definately served its purpose!! Its odd isnt it that i would happily consume something that had "SMOKING KILLS" in huge black letters on the side of the box...but that picture works better.
And not to sound horrifically superficial...the idea of wrinkling loads...thats also a good incentive...i dont want skin like leather!
its crazy to look at all those stats too...its so encouraging to know that all the way along things are slowly improving

I'm not sure how long that person had been smoking for. I just did a google image search for that kind of pic. Though, I can tell you, it doesn't take much to start visible damage to your lungs. Even young people, if they smoke enough, can end up with black lungs like that.
I've always wondered myself, why more people don't try to quit, and why they persist. I know it's extremely difficult for smokers to actually quit...but really, it's the choice between life or death. I can't think of one good effect that smoking has on someone. Can any smokers enlighten me?
Hiker's uncle was also recently diagnosed with throat cancer (he's in his early 50's). He had to have surgery and undergo radiation. They're not positive, but they think there may be a link between the cancer and the fact that he was exposed to constant 2nd hand smoke in his house growing up (from his mom).

Not superficial at all, I can usually tell someone that smokes just by looking at their face...usually 40's and up is when it gets totally obvious (or by the fact that they totally reek).
...its always been a comfort thing for me...whenever im sad or stressed ive always smoked. And then there is the simple fact that you are so used to the action of smoking that when your sat in a bar or whatever you just dont know what to do with your hands...its very strange...hence the lollipops...something to do with my hands and mouth that mildly mimmicks it.

i think the reason why it's hard for smoker's to quit is simply enough it's an addiction. it's not just the nicotine but the sugar. I personally don't think any of those programs work. the only way to truly quit is to truly want to quit.
But as far as knowing it's not healthy for you and still doing it there's a couple different examples of this. We all know all kinds of foods that will kill us quicker, lead to heart disease, cholesterol problems, etc. But we keep on eating them cause it makes our body feel good. It's comfort. And as long as it's not an immediate result, human nature says not to care. I see immediate comfort when smoking or eating junkfood, but i won't see the sickness and whatnot for some time.
i have problems with junk food too...luckily im naturally slim so it doesnt make me gain weight...but again...god knows what it is doing to me on the inside! But i do love sweets and cakes (and waffles with maple syrup mmmmmmmmm!!) far too much...just quitting cigarettes will do for now hehe.
Humans are quite silly really...weird where the line is...you wouldnt drink a bottle of cyanide saying "This will kill you" so why smoke cigarettes that say "Smoking kills" ... stop smoking adverts and things like that have rarely phased me in the past. Its only when ive felt a change in my body...my lung,s that it has actually hit home how stupid it is! :noidea:

Im just about at three or four weeks of quitting. Not really sure which, though I too made a post about it so I could date from there.
Anyways, just want it and that's a huge step right there. Myself, I bought the nicoderm patches, and used them for the first week or so till one came off about 5 hours after I put it on while I was in the bath. I didn't want to use another right away, so I just left it off saying I'd put a new one on when I felt the urge to smoke.
Haven't had to use a patch since then.

Haven't seen that, but one time my friend and I were running a 5K race here in Portland and we saw a guy at the starting line smoking a cigarrette (he had been literally chain smoking since we started keeping an eye on him). We thought it was hilarious and figured he wouldn't make it very far....he didn't, we passed him after he started too fast and his lungs gave up on him, then lapped him after we had already hit the turn around.
We still laugh about that....

it's going to be tough, but think about all the people you'll be letting down now if you don't quit.
i got really congested for about two or three weeks after i quit. my lungs were shedding all the crap that had been in there while i smoked. then one day it was all good.
good luck, you can do it.

i started smoking when i was 13 years old..i quit for good about a year ago...i tried a bunch of stuff to help me quit but it was niccorette(the gum) that helped me in the end...i found that chewing it was like a cigarette and i actually enjoyed it, so i would start chewing two pieces at once...you get a lot of nicotine and start to feel like s h i t...keep chewing, your body will hate the feeling and you will eventually stop craving nicotine..it only took me one box of the gum..
a friend of mine quit by smoking almost two packs of cigarettes in a row..i mean straight chain smoking...he smoked until he threw up and made himself finish both packs...he hasnt smoked a cigarette since then...

I'm not a smoker, and I've always disliked the idea of smoking. However, my aunt smokes and my mom says she has tried many, many times to quit and she can't. I think she may have an addictive personality that partly prevents her from quitting in the long term. And then there's one of my classmates who is in total denial that smoking is bad for you. She claims the rate of cancer is much lower in Europe and a bunch of other stuff... but even if that is true, it doesn't really prove anything.
An interesting story about quitting: my granddad, who used to smoke and had tried to quit before, quit smoking about 10 months to a year ago (he'd been smoking since he was 18 )! Apparently one day he just decided he would quit, and the way he did it was whenever he wanted a cigarette he would take one puff and then put it out... or something like that. It worked for him; he hasn't touched the stuff in months...
And pixi, good luck with quitting. Hope it's going well. :)

To make it four years and then go back to it seems crazy! But fair play for him quitting that long!

You get to meet some cool people while you're standing outside in 10 degree weather, in the middle of a snowstorm, wearing nothing but your shirt and using the glow of the cigarettes and the proximity of other smokers for warmth.
That's a HUGE bonus.

Hey, good luck with quitting. I definitely admire your will-power to be able to do it. Keep it up!
I've tried a couple of times, never making it longer than about three weeks. I think my problem is I still enjoy cigarettes... I've been smoking for seven years, and unfortunately I can definitely feel it when I ride. Such a digusting addiction!

There is a simple an easy way to quit with a little self control. When you are trying to quit. Everytime you think about a cigerette eat something that you absolutl hate eating. and do it everytime. Garunteed or ur full post refund back you'll stop smoking in like a few days. When you think of a cig you think pleasure so when you eat something nasty like peppers, or something you dont like it trianing the addiction in your brain to think everytime you thinok about a cig after you do that you think of the undesirable thing ............ so everyone start quiting..........

i know i'm kinda late on this post, but i just wanted to say keep it up. i smoked on and off since high school. back then i played alot of sports, so smoking was just a weekend thing. once i got to college though...it was on. anywho...i just quit about 8 months ago. it's really all in your mind. after 72 hours, your body no longer craves nicotine. most smoker's addiction is based on routine. i used to smoke when i woke up, in the car, and after i ate. think about the times you usually smoke, and find something else to do. i started exercising when i wake up, singing in the car so i wouldn't smoke on the way to work, washing the dishes as soon as i finish eating (instead of lighting up). now my sense of smell has returned and i realize how foul cigs smell! plus i feel 1000% better. the rewards are many. sometimes, just to reassure myself that i quit for good, i got to the bar (pub), get my drink on and DON'T SMOKE! if you can make it through a night at the pub without smoking, the rest is cake. Good luck...you can do it.
Yeah...i completely agree abou the routine thing...it that restless feeling of what to do with that spare hadn that normally holds a ciggie.

I started smoking in high school and finally quit for good a few months ago. It wasn’t even something I tried to do; I just one day noticed I hadn’t smoked in a couple weeks so I decided to just give it up. I think part of it is I don’t drink nearly as much as I used to. In the beginning I had a couple lapses when I would drink but now I don’t even think about wanting to smoke. I went riding the day after one of my lapses and I could tell a big difference in lung capacity. I agree that you should do cardio; it gives you an incentive not to pick it up again when you can see the improvement in your fitness level.
Anyway, keep fighting the good fight. It is worth it when you finally give it up for good. You also save lots of money.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents...
I smoked about 1-2 packs a day for about 7 years.... more if I was drinking..
5 years ago I quit and haven't gone back and it's been the best thing I've done for myself. Snowboarding was a big part of that decision... I was having a hard time keeping up with my hikiing friends especially in higher elevations.
I had to hate it and realize I wasn't rewarding myself with a cigarette but hurting myself... my problem was I thought I "deserved" a cigarette....a reward.... now i don't even think about it and my friends find it hard to remember that I used to smoke... I've officially become a non smoker rather than a smoker who's quit.... I hope that helps a bit?
It always helps to not think... just don't do....don't allow yourself to roll the idea around in your head till you convince yourself it's ok... just squash the thought before it takes you there....
ok, enough out of me!
good luck! and keep trying.. every moment not smoking is better than one smoking!

I've heard it's probably the biggest challenge you'll ever face, quitting on your own. Keep a steel resolve and you might make it. Good luck man.

either do I. I used to hate it when I'd see a hottie that I thought was cute (when I was single! Im happy now!) and then she would pull out a smoke and light it. So gross.

I am going to have to recommend against eating any type of junk food when you want to smoke. When I quit I did that and I gained a bunch of weight. A few months ago I was the biggest I had been in my life. I have since taken a lot of it off, all of it will be in a couple of months, and kind of turned into a health nut.
