Well what I did was cut down the number I smoked. Once I got down to 5 a day (from 20) I kept it at 4-5 for a couple of weeks then just stopped.

Also, dont smoke indoors. Make yourself have to go outside.

The worst is when like you yawn and you can't get that full yawn and you have to keep attempting it till you finally get it

oh well, that's the price of being cool!

Sounds like you need more excersise. Start doing a sport like running, rowing, martial arts, soccer. That will increase you lung capacity and also help you quit smoking.

Way ahead of you. I've been going to the gym 4 times a week for the last couple of months and I never feel like smoking for hours afterwards. My wind isn't as bad as it sounded before... but the respirator test is a bit excessive and coupled with having smoked for 6 years it always makes me feel like a jackass. I'm hoping to have quit by the Holidays. Playing rec hockey helps as well.

Usually I only smoke in the weekends. But it's too late. Smoking will kill me soon.

He knows what is up. They expect you to have the lung capacity of a manatee to pass that nonsense.

Have you had any pandemic training for the bird flu stuff? Ours basically consisted of scare tactics with the promise of a nice funeral when it kills us all.

2Marlon2Brando · 10-20-2006, 10:11 PM

no bird flu training but we did a lot of basic disaster life support and national incident management system training recently

Ol' Couch Ass · 10-20-2006, 10:15 PM

It pisses me off how all the 9/11 money was spent on a bunch of bullshit mass casualty and FD shit that will probably never be used. Using that money for more ambulances and crews on the street would have served the community much better.

2Marlon2Brando · 10-20-2006, 10:18 PM

the fire department will always get more support than ems

Ol' Couch Ass · 10-20-2006, 10:20 PM

They are way more political. Are you in Houston? Isn't that a FD/EMS system? We are a 3rd party here and we get hind tit to the FD. They have fire preventioned themselves right out of a job yet continue to get mad funding while cursing EMS for running EMS calls (and bolstering their response numbers). I don't have much use for the hose draggers around here.

Smoking lights is submitting yourself to smoking more packs to get your fix. Smart move, lighties.

I love the concept of ULTRA LIGHTS. I wanted to take a shotgun and blow the brains out of every blonde suburban girl that came into the gas station to get MARLBORO ULTRA LIGHTS. Stupid cum-dumpsters.

Shapan · 10-21-2006, 01:04 AM

fucking shit all these smoking threads arent helping me kick the habit, ive gone a month without a cigarette.

actually i smoked one with a friend, think it was malboro, but that was only to catch up on old times.

Newports are gross and I like menthol.

Menthol are gross. Like smoking a fucking mint.

Yeah that's true. Whenever I have Parliaments (which is most of the time) I smoke at LEAST a pack and half a day.. on the rare occasion I have reds, it's usually a little less than a pack a day. I'm on the road a fucking LOT though and a lot of days I've smoked almost 12 or 15 before noon, no matter what kind I have. I feel like if I'm driving I HAVE TO SMOKE.

Trotskilicious · 10-22-2006, 02:28 AM

I'm basing this on absolutely nothing but half-known sort-of-facts but they made lights to get people who wanted to cut down to demote off of the regulars and then bump their habit up to two or three packs a day while they spent less for ingredients and ammonia.

I smoke because I want to die faster, what about you guys? Why do you smoke?
