OK, I WANT A CIGARETTE!!!!!! Damn, I quit in 2005, and watching some movies......

[a kennedy]

I want a smoke sooooooooo bad. Annette Bening in “The Grifters”. I want a smoke.

1. Then whatever you do...

don't watch Tippi Hedrin in "The Birds." The most cirarette-friendely movie ever.

5. I think the record is held by Dustin Hoffman in All the Presidents Men. It really brings back the days

when you smelled cigarettes all day every day. He smokes everywhere. Seeing that is kind of a turnoff. It doesn't take very long before a cigarette doesn't seem like a good idea.

2. I hear ya.

I quit in 2006 (July 18th, to be exact), and I still think about them once in a while.

Boy, not like those first days though, I DO NOT want to go through that again.

3. It was the hardest time in my life......sooooooo happy I quit, but damn.....

I used a drug for calming the brain down, Wellbutrin. A gift, because I was a freak if I could have a drag, this drug just calmed me down enough to quit smoking. But these movies of old, really have me wanting a puff or three.

10. I was able to tolerate Chantix

it was like a magic bullet for me. I kept smoking a bit longer on it than you're supposed to but one day, 16 years ago, I got up and said "If I'm going to quit, it might as well be today." (I had noticed that if I did smoke I only burned about 1/3 of the cigarette).

Best part with this drug, no cravings. I missed the hand to mouth motion for a while but that was it.

4. I stopped cold turkey thirty years ago. It was the

toughest thing I ever done. Probably be dead if I hadn’t quit. I was a two pack a day’er.

6. Same here

Not 2 packs , but the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

A Kennedy, Maybe it’s a good idea to not watch such movies at this point?

Lots of other stuff to watch. Protect your investment. You’ve come too far to throw it all away.

7. Still trying to quit.........

And yes..... my COPD is so bad I'm on oxygen. I take the tube out and turn it off to puff and only smoke 2 whole cigs a day (spread out over the day, little bit here little bit there)
My favorite genre of movies is Film Noir so.... lol...... whenever I see Bogie light up I'm ready to go.

Just read this before posting....... its beyond pitiful to be so beholden to something killing you isn't it?

[a kennedy]

8. *hugs*. Yah, it is kinda sad......but you've really cut down on smoking.....

Don’t beat yourself up…….

[BigOleDummy]

9. Thats very kind of you to say

And I HAVE cut way down too. 2 1/2 to 3 packs a day for 50+ years down to 2 a day max. All things considered I think I'm doing ...... ok. I'll quit for good before spring!
Thank you for the support

11. Last week I went to see The Holdovers

and each time a character lit up it was sort of jarring, even though that was the world we used to live in. Now the only time I see someone smoking is when I go to a retail establishment and there's invariably an employee on break out front trying to kill me with second-hand smoke.
