I am getting Zyban to morrow to help me quit. Friday morning a friend and I went to Centurion shopping, and afterwards to Wimpy for coffee. It was IMPOSSIBLE to sit in the smoke area; the smell was terrible, I wanted to puke, so we left. I am going to quit smoking for sure! Very bad habit!

Worked a charm for me and BF. Just use it like the doctor tells you. Even if you think you do not need to take the pills anymore drink them its your support system.:D

What's wrong with smoking?
Click to expand...

I have been smoking for many years and I know there is NOTHING right about this bad habit. If you are a smoker, just take a wet cloth and wipe your wall or even your windows in your house, and see what comes off! What do our lungs look like? Then there is also the cost........R249.99 for 10x20 John Player cigs.......

I am getting my prescription for Zyban to-day!!!
 
Jewel omw zyban made me have the most vivid dreams, unreal in all honesty :)

Try not to take it after 4 or you will stay awake for a long time.
 
"If you are a smoker, just take a wet cloth and wipe your wall or even your windows in your house, and see what comes off! What do our lungs look like"

You sound like a commercial. One of those uninformed greenpeace ones. Smoking relaxes you. Nicotine calms you down. The lung cancer is just a side effect ;-)

A friend of mine's grandad started smoking heavy pipe tobacco at age 12. He's pushing 90 this year and still going strong. Boy, smoking's bad for you. But yes, he is not the norm.

However...

Lighten up. Psychology has a major effect on your health. If you believe what you eat will make you fat, I can promise you it will. If you believe smoke will kill you, you bet your ass it will. The stress people cause themselves by doing things they believe is unhealthy because someone with a dime a dozen medical qualification said so, kills them before smoking or eating greasy chips or some such can get near your health.

Use it. Don't use it.
 
I'll rather smoke - the 10 years you live longer than me I make up with all the smoke breaks I get to have every day at work.

The plus side is you'll have your extra 10 years when you are 80 - I'm having mine now!

thats exactly my problem with smokers...

Is people who smoke(some) think because they smoke they are OWED a smoke break... its just a incessant chatter all the time.

If there is one thing i hate more than smoking its not doing your job...

I donno that cigarette in the mouth looks gross...
 
20 Kent Special Mild per day for me. Also considering quitting though - been considering it for about 10 years now...

I get smoke breaks, it gives me a chance to collect my thoughts and come up with alternate ideas.

Coincidently, the most competent people in our office are all smokers. The incompetents are the ones who sit holed up in the office trying to log as many hours (doing nothing) as possible.
 
I used to smoke until I turned 15. :o

Now I just smoke cigars with a mate of mine once a year or so... not those cheap plasticy ones ... he usually buys the proper stuff.

For my last b'day he bought me 2 packs (3-per-pack) of Romeo*Juliets ... cubans going for R250 each :yikes:

Fortunately its too expensive to form a habit :D

my problem is not that you collect your thoughts (i totally agree that a person should stand up a few mins every now and again to just "collect" your thoughts but my problem is that people stand outside and smoke and chat for like who knows how long and then decide to come back to work...
 
If I got an another extra 10 minutes off every hour for sniffing cream soda i'd probably do that too.

Not always the case. Besides, I feel a helluva lot more refreshed, mentally and physically after the break - our company even recommends using micro-breaks as often as possible (within reason) and encourages chatting with one another during these times - discussion results in more expansive and interesting ideas. We treat them as mini-meetings as well so they often result in actions taking place.

Someone who becomes lazy or takes advantage is not doing so because they smoke - they are doing so because that's their personality - whether they smoke or not, their lack of effectiveness won't change...
 
No thanks for smoking.

Apart from the other obvious health detriments, smoking ages you beyond belief. Go have a look at the skins of female smokers .... much more wrinkles than their non-smoking counterparts.

Now that sounds like sour grapes.
