Well, after nine years, this month I decided to quit smoking. It hasn't been that hard, I believe that if you wanna quit, you have to go cold turkey. I find reducing, easing up on smoking is actually harder than quit. Quitting is simple, I just don't buy or smoke no more! Yeah, you do miss it now and then, after a good meal, after sex, in the morning, with a warm cup of coffee, and I believe that smokers that quit the habit, will forever miss cigarretes. You can try to tell yourself otherwise, but deep inside, yes, you miss it! But it's very harmful to your health. I started coughing and all that, then I decided to quit. Plus, I chew Red Man, and keeping two tobacco habits at the same time, doesn't make any sense.
However, I'm not, and I will never be one of those annoying anti-tobacco people. Get a life! I think like that, it's your body, your money, and as long as you're not blowin' smoke on someone's face, it's your own goddamn business!!! People, mind your own business, if a guy wants to smoke, leave him alone!
I understand family members and people you know bitching about your smoking, that's because they care about you, and they know the cigarretes may harm you, and they might lose you in the future. But then a completely stranger telling you to quit smoking, or criticizing you, oh come on, like someone who doesn't even know you gives a damn about your health! Truth is a lot of people like to put others down and that's a fact. "I'm not a smoker, I have no addictions, you do, therefore I'm better than you and I can tell you what to do!" - that's what it is. I find anti-smoking people annoying and freaking pointless.
I quit smoking by myself, nobody had to tell me a damn thing. I just went like a day without cigarretes, then I was like, what the hell, I'm gonna quit this crap, don't seem like I'm missing it that much. Well, so far, it's working. Just thought of sharing this here. Yes, you taste food better, you breathe better, and you feel better.
But if you wanna quit you have to be willing to quit. Not because someone you don't even know orders you to. It's a personal choice, and yes, it is a good choice. One thing I say, there's no such a thing as "Trying to quit", if you already say "I'm trying", you are already considering the possibility of a failure, exposing a weakness. Instead, say you quit, and I'm through with this! Drink plenty of water, and eat plenty of fruits. It helps.
