RE: How NOT to Quit Smoking

in #writing8 years ago

I didn't mean for this to be a 'pro-smoking' article, I used the example of e-cigs to show the struggles, and that many people go from e-cigs back to tobacco in a mental rollercoaster.

This article is meant to offer perspective to quitting, beginning with the mental anguishes associated with it. It's mainly meant to be a glance at the association between mind and body, and cigarettes being a big mental challenge for a lot of people, I offer this article as a chance to examine some of those.
I'm always happy for people when they actually find the way to quit, it is encouraging for everybody to see that it is not impossible, and can be a good influence on those who have given up 'giving up' the cigs.
Thanks for sharing the info here, and offering some balance. Cheers!

Sort:  

Well, you need to understand there is a difference between E-Cigs and the Cig-a-likes offered by the Tobacco companies in convenience stores. No one can quit with those as there is only enough nicotine to make you want another cigarette...

Anyway, I am not one that hates on smokers, smoking still allowed in my house, although now that I can smell again I know it stinks like a wet dog lol...

Carry on...

I didn't mean to bash e-cigs here either, maybe a well-placed "...while many find success in quitting using the e-cig..." could have neutralized that section of the article so that my exploration of the mental processes could be seen more objectively.
Man, good luck with that wet dog-- I quit those years ago, but I really only replaced them with a cat habit! ;)

Maybe we can get a bulk order for some POT & Weed and smoke on ! ! ! ; )

Sorry my poor attempt @ humor , loved your post : )

That is the best plan yet, cannabis knows how to sort this out. And yes send all the humor this way, it is appreciated!

Alcohol makes some people aggro, weed just makes people mellow out ; less than one percent of people go crazy on pot. Except those who use like five grams every day...

I always fully support anyone using cannabis. I like people who use five grams a day-- I like the way they live. I like the way I live when I'm with 'em! ;)
