I want to quit smoking !!

Poolman SG

To all ex-smokers , your advice please !

Why my mind keep telling me to buy a new pack whenever my old pack left with one last stick ?

How ar ?

Inhale Vicks ? Eat Hacks ?

Any other ways ?

I thought The Bear has a way of no smoking ? How ?

s|nNeD SG

it's all in the mind... might be hard in the first few days but once you overcome the urge... its goin to be all right... Smile

good luck to you!

iluvsingapore SG

Take only a puff and throw away the stick. Better still, throw away the whole packet. Don't feel "sa yang" and you are on your way to the non smoking area.

Good Luck!!!

the Bear SG

i did...

make a decision and remember never to pick up and light another bit of tobacco again...

it's all in the mind...

remember.. the mind moves the body... the mind commands the body, the body obeys...

FreeToFly SG

You are addicted !!!

Try Virginia Super Slim Mr. Green

the Bear SG

that's a "lady's ciggie".. made for and targetted at ladies..

besides, you're not helping much Laughing

FreeToFly SG

Well, I like it anyway...

And, at least it helps you to inhale less..... Wink

<sk> SG

I suggest slowly cutting down your intake of cigs...

IE if you smoke 10 cigs a day, then gradually reduce it by 2 each week... till you reach to 2 cigs a day, then slowly go to 1 cig a day... then try stopping from there... will be easier...

Do not try stopping at once, will hurt your health as well... gradually your body needs to adjust to a lower nicotine intake... otherwise you will damage your lungs... am serious

Aiya...my ting-li not powerful enough la !

Morning wake-up , smokes one cigarette !

Pang-sai , smokes one ciggie !

Lunch , one !

Coffee break , one !

Dinner , one !

Watch Football half time , one ciggie !

Full-time , one ciggie ! *sigh !

But now I really cut down to about 7 sticks a day ! My 20's last about three days , lao-hong until mai lao liao !

Play snooker time the worst , one session 20's !

Dunno how la !

I've thought about quitting coffee , and snooker as well ! This two things linked with cigarette strongly ! But pang sai ????? How ???

Gimme some time , gradually .....I make it 5 sticks a day ! No coffee for sure !

the Bear SG

make sure you have NO ciggies with you at all times...

and that you will not bum smokes off your friends..

if you have no ciggies, you won't smoke...

suck on some mints.. they supposedly help Razz

or if you really want to, go to a pharmacist, buy some nicotine gum.. they supposedly help with the cravings...

again, your "ting li" is only as strong as you want it to be.. if you make a decision and are determined to stick to it, nothing can move you! Smile

the Bear SG

hey! everyone else... give poolman some encouragement!

and tips if you have any... my quitting was a bit of a cheat coz i'm not physically addicted to nicotine even tho' i smoked quite a lot in the past...

and FreeToFly, you ain't helpin' with your 'ginny slims Laughing Twisted Evil

FreeToFly SG

Ok ok, enough of mischief, btw, I am going to quit smoking starting...but similar to Bear, I ain't addicted too...just a social smoker...

I guess quitting a habit, you need a reason...be strong and believe in it....

the Bear SG

but i wasn't a social smoker Razz

going through about 10 to 15 a day Razz

wish you success soon

Parka SG

That's a lot of exhaust.

choco B SG

Quit coffee AND ciggies AND snooker at the same time? That's abit heavy to handle ... maybe focus on ciggies first, it's more detrimental to health.

And also because I love coffee too much to want you to quit Razz

the Bear SG

aha...

caffeine addict! Twisted Evil

well, so am i.. again.. Razz

Poolman SG

It's a promise to my mrs and 4 yr old son that I'll quit one day ! Now it's already four years since I promise..... I absolutely disgusted at myself , for not willing to sacrifice for them !!

OK now , Phase One......prepare some mints in my vehicle ! No Smoking inside public transport ! Good , stay inside vehicle all the time , no hiding !

Phase Two.......stop going for coffee break ! Got coffee , always got cigarettes !

Phase Three......tell snooker kakis not free from now !

Phase Four ....... pang-sai pang fast one , no need cigarette to pang with me ! Smelly bo pian la !

Phase Five.......tell myself all the time $10 for a pack is too expensive liao !!

Hope my ting-li is strongly than before !

Go Poolman Go !
