Broccoli Girl Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Anybody out there have any quitting smoking tips or techniqes that have worked for them? Mostly I'm curious about whether its better to just stop altogether, gradually cut down or stop with the help of the patch or gum or something..

Harpua Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 While I haven't successfully quit. I have attempted/come close a few times. Only to ramp up again.The gum is useless, it tastes bad, and doesn't really stop the urges.The patch is what I would recommend! It covers the physical craving and you can use lots of 420s to cover the psycological craving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 hey smokey! You have to accept that when you actually quit, you will never have another cigarette ever again, as long as you live. But to get to that point, it really depends on how much you already smoke. If you don't smoke at work, or school, or wherever, then it's got to be much easier. I smoked everywhere, for everything. Don't let yourself only smoke when your drinking either. You have to go out and get wasted with people that don't smoke when they drink, do that for a month. You don't have to get smashed every night for a month, but when you do, do it with some different people. I actually warned all of my friends that they wouldn't see me for a month or so. I think most were happy about that . Realistically, if you can get by a week or 2 with out smoking, then go get loaded and not smoke a few times, you're set. Just don't ever have that "Yippeee, I QUIT" celebration smoke. Cigarettes are never a reward. Oh, if you have a little 420 at home, during your drinking and not smoking time, when you are craving a smoke, you can just say to yourself "I'll smoke a little 420 when I get home", and that'll help alot. Especially if you get home wasted, it'll knock you on your boo-boo, and you won't have time to think of a cigarette. Happy anti-smoking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 I made a video documenting Bouche's quitting....you can buy it for 10.99Alot of it is just us partying though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broccoli Girl Posted August 20, 2001 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Thanks a bunch! I think your first point is the thing I have to get through my head..ie. I will never smoke again. I've done the "only when I drink" thing and, clearly, it doesn't work. I'll stick to it for a few weeks or a few months and inevitably get sucked back in to doing it all the time. The first few days are the worst..my throat is killing me and I can't stop clearing my throat *hack*hack* Wow, you know, smoking has so many charming characteristics that go along with it, why would I ever want to give it up?

Broccoli Girl Posted August 20, 2001 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 give me a few days..then I'll have saved up at least $10.99 in my "This is the Money I Waste on Cigarettes" jar. Though I don't know if a video of you guys partying is going to help me quit smoking. But so long as its got a good beat and I can dance to it, I'll shell out the bucks!

badams Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Is there any nudity in this video. If so I`ll take 10 copies. The machine will wear them out quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 A picture is a worth thousand words, so they say. There are some pictures of Andre at the brennan's cottage that would make any start smoking after they've seen them. So when he offers you something to look at, make sure you look away. Pretend it's Medusa, and you're afraid to turn into stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broccoli Girl Posted August 20, 2001 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Okay..I won't pay my $10.99 for a video that's likely to drive me to much harder drugs. Heroin isn't chic anymore (or so I hear). Why would anyone want to sabotage me like that? Do you know ridiculous it is for broccoli to be smoking? You can't believe the hassle!!

Harpua Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 We should set up a no-smoking section at the Come Together festival for all the non-smokers and people trying to quit. Maybe over by the Shane zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 There is a big difference between still picture and moving ones......My video is not a sabotage, but it will make you think twice about doing things shown on it...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 Hohohohohohohoho If it's the video I think that it might be then it's pretty near priceless. We should get Indica to watch it to help prevent him from getting cigarette burns on his pillowcase. Yikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 It may be THE premiere anti-smoking video footage. Could we not make it into a self-help vid, or maybe sell it to the ministry of education? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
