BANNED
Anyone quit smoking since cigs were banned in public places. I don't think it's the ban that did it, but I'm now three months nicotine free. WOO HOO!!

Congrats! I'm not usually in bars unless I'm playing and I always ate in NS sections so it hasn't really affected me. I'm really weird though. I can go days without a smoke, then smoke a pack a day for a week. Sometimes I just don't have the urge.

I had stopped for nearly two months, however I realized that I was shoving food into my mouth faster than .... well you get the idea. I started adding on to the already belly I have so I decided it was best for me to start smokin again.
Am I weak? Prolly, but you know what I would sooner die from smokin that becoming a 600 lb pile of shit!!!
BTW Congrats Sanchez.

Yeah, I wish I could do that . I actually enjoy smoking, but after 16 years at a pack a day they've become quite a dependency. I've tried to just keep it casual but that didn't work for me. Once I got through the two weeks of hell, I told myself "never again"DirtySanchez wrote:Congrats!

I quit 25 years ago, but I was never addicted, I don't think. I never had a real craving like a lot of people. It was more of a a psychological thing, just to keep in my hand. I DO get how tough it is for most, though.
My reason for quitting was that it affected my voice, and I had just found out you could get girls by being in a band. I had my priorites.

I hear that, I quit for 14 months a few years ago. Same deal, I bummed one at a new job (I have no idea why) and six months later I was buying packs again. I like to think, now, that I learned from my mistake. Anyhoo, I still have ten more months untill I get back to where I was. I made a promise to myself that I won't do that again.Bag wrote:Nice job, man! I quit for 6 months a few years ago. Then I started working in a small tool shop with a guy that smoked Camels like they were going out of style. 1 day I asked for one, the next day I bummed 2, then I needed a pack...shredder138 wrote:four months

I stopped going to bars really . . . I only smoke when I drink so I have no desire to go somewhere where I can't do that. To me smoking and drinking are hand in hand. Now it sucks when we play because that's what I liked to do on breaks. Luckily you can still smoke at the Pony Lounge. It's not bad during the summer to step outside but in the winter, can't do it.
