Well that's what I dislike (no offence) about smokers, they come near you with that stinking smell and you think 'what have i done to deserve this'... I always say that I'm fine about smokers as long as they do it far away from me so I'm tolerant when after their smoke they come near me and I feel like fainting... but still, I think it's the worst aspect of it.Quote:

I hate the smell too. Koa, most smokers don't even realize they reek of smoke. They are practicaly numb to it.
ugh. I know, every time I come back from a trip back home I have to wash all my cloths I brought with me. Just sitting in my Mom's house they seem to pick up the smell, this time I swear even my make up brushes stunk.
err wow, i forget that not all countrys have gay smoking ages... you have to be 18 to legaly smoke...im 15, and a mip is minor is possesion...and a nice 500$ fine that doubles each time you get one... yeah i sell marykay so i have all the satin hand stuff and lip stuff :D i tried the just quit and no one could deal with me i was a major jerk to say the least...
i do try to be consideret, which is why i smoke outside, and only in that one jacket so the rest of the stuff doesnt smell like smoke, what i smoke is marblo menthol's and there is about 20($6/pk)...yes i know thats 60($18) a day...
ehh i try to make sure i dont smell like smoke... i have a shower obsession lol, like 6 a day...
eh a friend sugested that but im allergic to olives... it sucks. umm i tried toothpicks becuase its that habbit of havn something in your mouth, and that helped me cut back.
funny you metion that, its in the washer right now... but yeah...
i cant stand the smell of smoke, but i enjoy smoking, and the taste doesnt bother me... althou my girlfriend hates to be around me after i smoke becuase of the taste so...
as far as hiding it, the wonders of the usa everything comes in small spray bottles... mouthwash, handsanatiser, and frebreeze smoke elimnater... and they would kill me... very overdramatic parents...
Have you tried chewing gum?
I've never smoked but it helps with my chocolate-addiction. :blush:
lol gum...i chew gum non stop...even when smoking...
When I was a teenager, a law came making it illegal for people who were under 16 (I think) to buy cigarettes. My friends were like 13 but went on buying them anyway :D The wonders of living in Italy, some laws just get ignored :lol:Quote:

I also always say that I'd stop smoking because I'd hate to go outside when it's cold. Hmm I guess it's not wonder I've never smoked as a habit lol.Quote:

Oh I knew this girl, she made me understand the expression "chain smoker" as I had never met one before but she was, and it was so damn annoying (I would always manage to sit in the direction her smoke was going!:sick: ). She was boasting that she could quit any time she wanted, as in fact she did every time she went back at her parents', as they didn't know. I didn't believe that. One day she said she was quitting, and I haven't seen her hold a cigarette anymore :eek: though I suppose she must have started again at some point, we only were in the same place for 3 months and I haven't seen her since.
Still in those 3 months, my housemate smoked a little, and he quit because he lost a bet. He was so damn annoying after he quit!
I don't think you should be smoking, since you're so young and pregnant! (at last, i think that's you)
what about nicotine patches and just carrying one of those coffee straw thingies on your mouth?
Wow Steph, I've no idea how you really manage to hide even a pack a day habit. I would almost venture to guess that your mom and dad know, and they've decided not to say a thing. Saying something about it normally just makes it worse. I can't say that not wanting you to smoke falls in the overdramatic category. I was a smoker for quite a few years, and I would have my kids heads if they ever pick it up. It is such a nasty habit, and it is one that's hard to break.Quote:

They will taste nasty, I know;) that is part of the point. Then start cutting out one cig each week until you are down to only one or two a day. It takes a lot of will power to get that far, but when you do, then cold turkey it the rest of the way. It may mean not hanging out with others who smoke for a few months. It took me almost six months to finally stop wanting one if I saw a friend light one up. It did work, though. Almost three years later, and I've yet to smoke again. I don't even have one if I am enjoying a beer anymore. Good luck to you.
You should read Stephen King's short story entitled 'Quitters, Inc.', it proposes a radical way to stop smoking which has a hundred percent success. :D

Quitting smoking has immediate as well as long-term benefits for you and your loved ones.
Take deep breaths. Distract yourself.
When cravings hit, do something else immediately, such as talking to someone, getting busy with a task, or taking deep breaths.
Ah. I figured it had to be something like that. Um... OK, here it comes: If you smoke so much (indeed at all) at the age of 15, I have to tell you what you probably already know: You are really hurting yourself. Please, do whatever it takes to put a stop to it.Quote:

As a kid I sometimes visited her there. I met people sitting in wheelchairs, and as kids do, I naturally asked what had happened to them. Well, it turned out that most of them had been smoking their lungs to pieces to such an extent that they no longer had the strength to stand up. At the time I regarded them as old, but today I realize that many of them were younger than I am today... ...and there they were, spending their days in death's waiting room.
