The demorats have done ONE thing which I am thankful for - when I read Obama was going to raise the tax on cigs another 61 cents and then the idiot Rendell is looking to raise the state tax on cigs to subsidize something else - this girl - who has smoked over 40 years - decided NO MORE! I tried cold turkey (ugh) but am happy to state that I am down to 5 a day and will continue to reduce it till its NO MORE! Thanks - just had to vent. My nerves are shot!
You're killing children. ;)
Congrats Gypsy, keep it going, you have a great start.
I am on my 6th month cold turkey, put my last cigarette out and never looked back. (as Paul Harvey says, now for the rest of the story):
Diagnosed with Laryngeal cancer 3 rd of July 2007, everybody said it was because of 50 years of smoking. Had my voice box removed a month and 1/2 later, haven’t said a word since LOL. Come to find out it was not the smoking, but my wonderful 1 year vacation in Vietnam that gave me the big C.
Anyway, 6 months later I am smoke free (trust me, not my choice) and I regret smoking NOT ONE WIT!!!! I loved smoking,I did it with class and finesse, and I hadn’t gotten this tumor, I would still be smoking.
I now am planning on living to be 100, and miserable the rest of my life.
Interesting side effect, I did it without nicorette or any of that stuff. Turns out I was not addicted to nicotene, but I was addicted to my habit. I still want to smoke when I play poker, or,.... when the phone rings.
Keep up the good work, Gypsy, I am pulling for ya....
