Quitting smoking?

I've heard that book is good, but cold turkey worked for me.

"Work" is a relative term

Well thats great subbie! some people I know can't even make it through 1 hour without smoking a cigarrets. I'm guessing cigars are less addictive eh? So is this a new year resolution for you? well keep it up subbie! just think about, before you know whats what, you'll be going 2 days without smoking. God bless you subbie and take care.ps: I'm not leaving this forum until percy replies back to my email. btw I got over 20 email accounts, so just think about it, do the current admins want me to make the members list a mess or what? I'm not leaving, how much clearer can I be? also: I'm done spamming this site, so just leave me be, though I already know some admin is going to suspend this account, oh well, I'll go make another 1. cya later everyone.sincerely yours, Amen.Edited by Am3n, : I said a curse word. my bad.Edited by Am3n, : No reason given.

Hi subbie,I wish you all the luck in the world. It is all determined by your decisions.I was smoking four packs of cigarettes a day when I quit cold turkey.
I decided I was not going to smoke another cigarette and have not in the last 45 years.Hope you have the will to make it where you want to be.

Your right to smoke stops at the end of my nose.

Depends on where your nose is.In my house, you have no right to complain.In a public place, you ought to have no right to complain.

Portland started a similar law last year. In L.A. a new law was in effect as of Jan 1, 2008, that if you live in an apartment, you can't smoke in it. You can't even smoke on your own balcony. You have to go across the street.

As a non-smoker who has lived in apartments where neighbors (even down the hall and on different floors) were smokers, I can tell you that it is awful.Balconies are often stacked on top of one another, and if a smoker is smoking ourside on their balcony, it means that anyone who doesn't want the stink in their apartment has to shut all of their windows and balcony doors. If someone smokes for hours outside every night in the summer (like one neighbor did before we moved away), it means that I never get to open the balcony to let in the breeze unless I want the stink.That's not really allowing me to enjoy my home.

What if someone let their car running right outside and the end result was the same? Would you argue that they can't do that too?

I've had neighbors who played music louder than I liked.I've had neighbors who cooked foul smelling foods.I've had neighbors with loud kids.I've had neighbors who swam in cheap perfume or cologne.Where does one draw the line in regulating how one person can use their own property for the comfort of others?

If you can keep the stink confined to your home, then I won't complain.

If I have asthma and want to go to a concert at the park, why should I have to risk having an attack just because you can't wait until you are away from other people before you blow a lot of pungent air pollution around?It isn't my problem that you are addicted.

And it isn't my problem that you have asthma.

There are also noise ordinances.

Every day, all day?Foul food smells being blown at you at every public bar, concert, and nightclub? Foul food smells that gives you asthma attacks?

See noise ordinance comment above.

That you can smell from a floor below, three doors down? I doubt it.

You don't have to smoke, but I can't snap my fingers and get rid of my asthma.That's like somebody who assauts you saying it isn't his problem that your nose got in the way of his fist.

Well, as long as we're not begging the question too much.
