Browning'sCustomMeat Report post Posted April 28, 2010 it ain't ironic, it's prophetic. good luck on your quest to quit. hang on tight and you'll make it fine. there ain't nothin' i like better than a smoke. well, except livin'. i like livin' better than smokin'. so i don't smoke. it's just a real slow way of committing suicide. i have a good friend who has to turn off his oxygen machine to have a smoke. he's younger than me. it just don't make sense. there's lotsa things that ain't good for ya. tobacco is flat out bad for ya. outside of wormin' a hound, there ain't anything good about it. everytime you use tobacco you take time off the other end of your life. and remember, i'm the smartest guy there is. Lark. .270 ain't good either. In all seriousness i quit smoking almost 2 years ago and have not even wanted to pick one back up and don't even miss it BUT the way I quit was chewing I know I know.......I will quit hopefully sooner than later. Let me tell you it is not that you are addicted to anything it is that you want to do it and if you SERIOUSLY want to quit you can and you can do it cold turkey. TRUST me I use to be an Alcholic, HARD core drug user and dealer, and lots of other serious crap and I stopped them ALL cold turkey. Now I know if I can do it anyone can. YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. Spectacular Clay!! and Lark, truly sorry. You and your friends family will be in my prayers. And the rest of you CWT'rs will have a prayer that you too can stop before its too late. -Jeremy- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwhunter Report post Posted April 29, 2010 Dad's been smoking for 40 years now, coughs all the time and lost all of his teeth, has dentures now. I feel terrible knowing smoking is probably going to kill him. It gives me motivation not to smoke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamondbackaz Report post Posted May 2, 2010 Both my parents smoked and I suffered severely with asthma as a result. So, it's not just your own health that suffers. Amanda Same here, I'm on Advair. Dad actually got throat cancer even when he quit two years earlier. He was lucky they found it early. Still suffers from dry mouth from the radiation treatment, that was 20 years ago. My father in law died of lung cancer at 64. Was a die hard smoker up till about a week before the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
