Are there any cigarette smoking getbiggers?

[Bindare_Dundat]

I smoked from age 15 to 30. Got sick of it. Took 3 cold turkey attempts and never smoked again. Started training when I quit. When people saw me 4 years later they didn't even recognize me. Lol

Disgisting addiction.

That's really sad about your parents. I'm sorry to hear that.

What the fuck am I even doing. Walking the line with lung cancer! I would sooner do heroin once a month. Big statement, but EVERYONE has cigarettes...they are so UBIQUITOUS.

So EASY. So LOW COMMITMENT.

The issue isn't a couple a week...the issue is that habit going up.

Maybe if a sauna was open, I would stop completely.

Not to make excuses, but I am 99.9% certain alcoholism, drug addiction, and obesity have ALL gone up due to COVID.

Not to make excuses for being a lazy girl just sitting at home all day, but like WTF. I just want a gym open, to get me in that atmosphere. Weight room / track / sauna.

I'm extremely curious what the data is on addiction and COVID. It can't be good.

That's really sad about your parents. So as much of a hypochondriac as I am, I'm not wrong to have that fear. And I feel I just can't moderate it. Only fear is keeping me I line.

It's a crazy habit to even flirt with.

Matt I`m not a doctor and I dont play one on TV............but I highly doubt if 1-2 cigarettes are going to have an adverse affect on you........not gonna do you any good, but too menial in my opinion to even get anxious about.

I started smoking at 12 or 13 years old and smoked for 52 fucking years all the time I was training................ .....everyday without fail.

I felt guilty and very hypocritical as I should have, because I loved to train but grew up in the streets with the wrong crowd and most here know all about my former addiction issues..............not just cigarettes mind you.

At the end I calculated that being so sedentary I smoked 55-60 cigarettes per day.........YES I SAID PER DAY!!

2 or 3 isn`t the brightest move but I doubt that they`ll have any adverse affect on you as you are young and in shape and that is what I would call not really smoking............i mean you dont have a habit so if possible just quit................you should have little to no cravings or withdrawl symptoms.

Like Abraham I lost my father to lung Cancer but it wasn`t a big loss as he was a drunken woman beating coward, but losing my mother to Colon Cancer at 50 years of age fucked me up for years.

She was my best friend as my father could never possibly be.

Good luck dude............just quit it and forget it you are not an addict..........physical ly anyway.

Just my thoughts as I said I`m far from a doctor.

I`m one grateful bastard to be clean and sober for 20 years and to have my  Cancer in remission (just hoping this continues) because my life at times was sheer insanity................ .grateful to be here trust me brother, where at one time I couldn`t have cared less if I woke up in the morning.

Wow. Good to hear things have improved.

[wes]

Thanks much, I greatly appreciate that.

[wes]

I dont want to turn this thread into a thread about my dumbass so lets just say,if you smoke................... ...................fucki ng QUIT NOW or pay the piper later on down the road.

[wes]

I've been repulsed by smoking my entire life.  Grew up in a large family of smokers and was subjected to unwanted 2nd hand smoke for the first 19-20 years of my life.  Never fucked a smoker and never will.  If I saw Salma Hayek smoking right now and she knocked on my door later tonight to do some fucking, I'd politely decline.  It's that gross to me.  Also, lung cancer took my mother from me and the age of 56 and heart disease took my father at 65.  I was orphaned at 36.    All jokes aside my kids never got to meet my mom who would have made for one hell of a getbigger.  Her trash talk game was fierce and on point.  They(my kids) were 4 and 6 when my dad passed.  So to those who smoke, STOP.  Ride your loved ones who do smoke like a Schwynn until they stop. 

Sorry about your parents my friend.

[wes]

I`d fuck Selma Hayak if she smoked a cigar or a pipe.............just saying !!  LOL 

[AbrahamG]

Sorry about your parents my friend.

Thanks Wes.  Same to you. 

[AbrahamG]

Who am I bullshitting?  If she pulled those tits out, I'd fold.    Goddamn, that fucking broad is incredible.

i smoked from 21-25... quit when my dad was forced to quit.... now i smoke camel non filters, 1 pack per day, for a total of 2 weeks per year..... usually all at once on vacation... come home and quit cold turkey until the next year.

[rocket]

I've done a few drugs that actually have a reputation for being fun/interesting but nicotine is strange drug in that very few people ever say anything positive about it.  Hence, I've never smoked a cigarette.  Nobody ever actually told me it was worth it.   I'm surprised there aren't more never smoked - they have an awful reputation.

Sounds like a well thought out plan.

I could never quit cold turkey.............until they told me I had Cancer.

Always had a plan to cut back gradually,but it never worked.

Real tobacco is like whiskey...enjoyable occasionally...like a pipe or nice short cigar. Cigarettes are full of who knows what.

Heart felt and strong motivation for all smokers to quit. It must have been an incredibly tough period in your life.

I really thought some getbigger would tell the story of an 80 year old that smoked since they were 13. Of course a few escape the risk through a percentage but the majority don't.  Same with steroids. For every story of a guy that juiced from his teens to his 70's are those with all kinds of health issues from cardiac, kidney, lung, liver and prostate problems.

I know an 80 year old smoker who fits that bill.

But I know a 23ish year old (not sure how old he is) smoker who is currently going through testing to ascertain as to why he is coughing up blood and experiencing a few other issues.

You ain't kidding.  I was 30 years old in March 04 when my son was born.  My life was seemingly perfect.  Work, marriage, newborn, etc. everything was going according to plan.  Fast forward 2 months to May 04 and my mom got the diagnosis.  From that point until Halloween she underwent treatment after treatment and then I got the call from her and my dad that she was finished fighting.  She started home hospice and 3 weeks later she was gone.  Completely devasted but had to pull it together for my dad.  My mom was awesome.  Fun as hell.  As a kid my friends always wanted to hang out at our house because she was so easy going and just fun to be around.  It's almost cliche' to say but she was if not my best friend, my closest confidant.  My dad hung around for about 5 and a half years after my mom.  He was awesome too.  A little more serious than my mom but he got better with age.  Never loved one more than the other but found that with my mom being gone, all my earthly love for her kind of went to him.  If that makes sense.  When we lost him, it was even harder as I felt as though I still had my mom through him. 

That being said, and I apologize for hijacking this thread and making it about me but I miss them both terribly but also feel blessed that I have nothing but fondness and great memories of them both.  I had quality if not quantity.  When I encounter people who are going through what I've went through, I tell them that it's hard now and that things will never be the same.  However, it does get better.  There will be stark reminders throughout the year.  Holidays, birthdays, etc.  For me, May and June are roughest.  Starts with Mothers Day, two weeks later is my moms birthday, three days after her birthday is when my dad passed and two weeks after that is Fathers Day.  I am always relieved when Fathers Day is over. 

Don't Smoke!  It affects more than you can/could possibly imagine.

Yeah man, sorry to hear. Time passing after someone moves on is just one of those things that people experience differently.

I have both my parents. I call both of them a few times a week. About 5 years ago I grew up and realized their age. The time spent talking and helping out where I can is critical both for them and for me to feel right about things in the future.

I delivered papers as a kid. This old guy used to come to the door and he was on oxygen. He told me several times never to smoke cigarettes, I never did. It certainly wasn't my dad that did it haha, it was Mr. Kissling that lived up the hill.

[AbrahamG]

Appreciate it.  Even before my parents passed, getting people not to smoke or quit smoking had always been a passion.  Especially broads I'd like to fuck.

Jesus bro,you almost got me crying here.

Very sad situation........I can relate to your mothers plight somewhat............my mom was my best friend also I could confide in her and tell her anything,good or bad.

Sorry pal.  Not my intention to bring you down.  Your situation has always hit a nerve with me.  I am truly happy for you getting a second chance and glad you've finally kicked the habit.  Hopefully, you get stronger and stronger and have many, many, many more years with us.  I'd still love to catch a fight (boxing) with you sometime down the road. 

[wes]

Thanks bud catching that fight would be awesome.

[Bevo]

Never got into smoking, always looked at it as nasty habit. Can’t stand the smell and the people that are associated with smoking. Like dirty hygiene’s, unclean

Never got the hype with weed either, overhyped crap imo
