I'm a welder and I breath in some real crap as part of my job..... H/s B.S.... Yes... LOL
No offence... I understand your point of view.... But everything is relative.
You weld as well so you must meet some noxious mixes...... LOL
But I know you have never been addicted to the foul weed, by your replies.... LOL
Only twice.........
I've done it loads of times.......:nyah:

I get more than that at work, but it's not a constant every day thing, like smoking cigarettes.
I started smoking at 15. I "woke up" at 28 and realized it didn't make sense. You get nothing out of it and it hurts you, so I stopped, just stopped. I feel pretty stupid about it, not for smoking initially but for continuing it every day for so long.
Just quit.

I'm going to be getting one of these in a few days. They even have flavors! But the best part: NO TAR, no tobacco, no ash, no smell. And it's not even smoke! It's vapor!

I hate the smell, especially on someones clothes in a confined area.
I the fact that people you love continue to smoke, even knowing that it can kill you.
I hate people who can't fees their family, but have money to smoke and drink.
I hate the price $5.39 a pack (my mother smokes), but hopefully it deters people from buying them (wishful thinking, I know it doesn't).
I hate when it's kids that smoke because they think it's cool.
I hate that people smoke in the house, and force their children to pay the price for their bad habit.
I hate that perfectly healthy people get sick over nothing, and smokers don't count their blessings enough to quit.
I hate EVERYTHING about smoking...

Hmmmmmm... My Dad used to smoke... and eventually quit. BUT somewhere between the time he told us he quit and the time he actually did, he lied to us (although we knew... poop doesn't smell like smoke - he smoked in the bathroom) the whole time. So, I HATE the fact that my Dad lied about smoking.
I hate that it sticks to clothes. Some of our kids get to have "home visits" with their parents... and the FIRST thing they have to do when they get back is wash their clothes. I swear the smell STICKS to everything for DAYS afterwards. Even ziplock bags and meds... ugh!!!
I hate the fact that I get caught "in between". I always fight for "rights". I believe that people have the right to smoke. BUT, I also have the right to breath clean air and not have walk through people's smoke (even in no smoking areas) to get where I want to go.
I hate the fact that some of the parent to the kids I care for can't afford to buy gas to pick up their kids on those "home visit" days, but have the money to buy pack after pack of cigs for themselves. So, I HATE that smoking puts people's priorities out of wack.
That's just a few. Now, don't get me wrong. I like the SMOKERS just fine, Jenne... I just don't like the smoke.

Thank you to (most 
) for telling me why you hate the habit.
Let me know how it works for you. Right now I'm using the gum, which helps, but I kind of miss the physical act of smoking. I might buy that with the non-nicotine cartridge to wean myself off, or maybe just buy normal gum. I'm not thinking beyond each day right now. And honestly, with the price of cigarettes the gum is cheaper at this point anyway. I don't really care if I just switch my addiction, I just don't want to smoke anymore.
That sux, Fred. My mom was a smoker (2 or more packs a day) up until 5 years ago. I remember times not having food/electricity but she had cigarettes. But as a smoker I remember always making sure I had $ for cigarettes because the thought of not having the money made me anxious. The addiction is so pervasive and mind-consuming.
Even right now when I cannot physically smoke I am so wired to having a cigarette, sit at the computer, that I am feeling anxious not having one. Considering I'm using gum to combat the actual effects of withdrawal and should not be going through it, the physical addiction is so severe that it is actually causing anxiety. That gives you a true idea of how this addiction is truly barbed.
I hated the fact that I smoked and that I always smelled. Oh, and I really, really don't want to have bronchitis all winter because I refuse to quit. This is the earliest I've ever had bronchitis, and I know that if I don't do something, I'll keep getting it all winter long.

You know, Jenne... In my diatribe, I neglected to mention the fact that I am so PROUD of my Father for eventually kicking the habit. He's a better man for it.
And YOU... I admire you for going out there and SUCCEEDING when it is so easy to fail. Yes, I put it out there... YOU will succeed. I can feel it in my bones!
Plus, you'll always have CS.com and snakes as a more positive "addiction". LOL.

Let's see.....the smell...the smell, the smell. I hate the fact that someone hates themselves so much that they would have a habit that will kill them. If you're a parent...even worse. You care less about your children than you do about the smoking. If you cared about them, you wouldn't want them to sit in a hospital room with you while you gasped your life out with emphysema like my smoking friend did. She's going to do the same thing to her son. Sad......Working at a hospital I see the effects of smoking everyday and I can't for the life of me figure out how someone could have so little respect for themselves that they would destroy themselves and make themselves a slave to a stupid cancer stick that's costing them $4 Save the money and go on a vacation! One patient of mine said she wanted to quit and we talked about how much she spent a year on smoking. When she calculated it out she couldn't believe how much it was costing her. She could take a trip to Europe! She decided then that she was going to quit and take the money she would normally spend on cigarettes and at the end of the year take a trip to Ireland...something she's always wanted to do.

There's an idea! Choose something you really want to do/have and start saving what would have been cigarette money for that. For every day you go smoke money put the price of a pack of cigarettes in a jar or whatever.
In addition to the gum and whatnot, of course.

I have two very good friends who are smokers. One is from out of state and when she came here for a weekend, I thought perhaps she just had an unusual and unpleasant body odor. It was like... vomit sort of... but not quite. A really unpleasant smell.
Then I started driving my other friend to and from work and I realized that on days when she smoked heavily, she also had the same digusting vomity smell to her.
Seriously, the stench of cigarette smoke is enough to turn your stomach, and the only way you'd be able to smell it is if you weren't a smoker... I really believe they have NO idea just how bad they smell.......

I hate that my mother died of lung cancer at the age of sixty and that I watched her go through chemo and radiation therapy, knowing she wasn't going to survive. I hate that when she was in respiratory intensive care, her nurse REEKED of smoke and leaned over her to check on vitals. I hate that she smoked for thirty + years and even quit nine years before she was diagnosed and still got cancer. I hate that my mother never met my husband and wasn't at my wedding. I'm not mad at her, but I hate smoking. I try not to get angry at smokers who have children, because someday they will likely put their own children through what I went through. Why the hell would you do that to your children?
On a less emotional level, its EXPENSIVE. In this economy, who can AFFORD to smoke??? Wouldn't your money be better spent on snakes, mice, clothes, food?
I hate walking through a cloud of smoke on my way to and from work. I work in a flipping hospital and our own staff stand outside and smoke. What example are they setting?
Its digusting, filthy, gross, stinky, it kills people and it costs more than gas. Why would anyone smoke?
