It doesn't fucking matter Skypoo. 1 a day, 20, or none at all.
My personal habit has nothing to do with my point.

Plus the fact, in the history of QBN, and also way before your time, I can not get away with calling myself a smoker. So I didn't.
- kelpie0
yeah quite right, we don't tolerate part timers on this board

Well, I've cut down from 60 a day to about 20, so I tell people I'm practically a non smoker now.
I have no idea where I found the time to smoke 60 a day.
- you know you smoke to much when you buy your fags in bulk from the cash'n'carry, like me.Jnr_Madison

How do you deal when you get out from the office at 11pm, pissed off like a hyena, or when the letting agency makes clear that they're a bunch of morons and can't do anything but screwing things up.
Between Killing people and smoking a cig i'd go with the latter.
- kelpie0
I do both anyway, so I'm dropping the easiest one
- Fariska0
Killing people?

hey kelps,
just some advice, hope you can relate.
I'd prolly consider myself a "none-smoker" now. In fact, i can't even smoke a full cigarette anymore without feeling nautious.
I got into Muay Thai/MMA a while ago. I mean in an INTENSE obsessive way to the point where i am now a competitive fighter. I'm talking training something like 2 hours a day 5-6 days a week.
Smoking just does not fly in those circumstances. It was getting into the fitness thing that gave me the LEVERAGE i needed to really feel disgusted being around smoke, and smoking myself. The ban helped loads too.
So i say best thing you can do is FIND LEVERAGE. I.e, take up a sport or even go running. You will have tangible health goals and reward mechanisms, and "the fighters spirit" that will spur you on.
Also, you said you're dong it to gain weight. I went from something like skinny chode 11-11.5 stones to what i am now 13stones consistent. I'm looking to hit 14stones in the next year before i cut back to 13 for my cruiser weight division. Quitting smoking definitley helps, but you gotta start eating like ITS YOUR JOB. It's incredibly incredibly difficult for two skinny guys like you an me to put no weight like that - you have to be so incredibly concsious of it, and LEARN what goes in your body - i.e Carbs, Protein, insulin level, glyco depletion etc etc before you find something that works.
But ALWAYS take the long term view and don't get to dispirited. Be process orientated not outcome orientated.
g'luck!
- god, i'm like a life coach and shit. I should charge!Khurram
- yeah I'm eating like a horse at the mo. Already having an effect according to somekelpie
- yes, but be careful. Your body will hit "plateau" stage and you'll quickly adapt and lose your gains, you have to be...Khurram
- very consious of how your body is responding, chanign and adapting. It might even take you 2 years to put on a stoneKhurram
- Check out the Michael Phelps diet. I have that pinned to my fridge. :OKhurram
- Khurram, it was only two weeks ago you were off your tits on drugs and rimming birds in the shower?SkyPoo
- Disclaimer for eveybody else: The "rimming birds" bit is just my little joke. Forgive me.SkyPoo
- yeah...so? drugs aren't unhealthy. But really that was an ordeal i deliberately put myself through. A psychological thing.Khurram
- psychological thing. I barely even drink - never get drunk. And generalyl don't do "mood enhancing" drugs full stop.Khurram
- Fair do's mate, I regretted posting after posting. Nice to see you back on here with your proper name anyways!SkyPoo
- ha, yeah, i had an unexpected email from QBN - "Welcome back". Hehe.Khurram
- Friends on the payroll eh?

You have no idea what you're missing by not being outside the pub with the smokers. I would put money on them getting promoted and laid more often than those of you sat inside passively smelling each others farts...
- It IS cool.********
- i guess we're missing out on great conversation? no one wants to work for / fuck smokers anywaycalculator
- It IS cool.

Good luck on the quitting, mate - it's so worth it..
If you can, get a Chantix (champix in the uk) prescription and you won' t have one withdrawal pang, I didn't, anyway.
You must have heard all the cliches, but it's true - you breath better, 25% fitter in a week with no exercise, food tastes spectacularly better, hair is better (I'd never seen anyone say that til this thread, but it's so true), smell better, - - feel freer ! - - , plus the ability to satisfy and latest piousness or smugness by being a 'reformed smoker', you too can be 'one of them', 'nothing worse than an ex-smoker', people say, and you can prove them right by doing that thing around people smoking - you know, that thing where you screw your nose up and wave your hand gayly...and it really DOES smell as bad as all those bloody non-smokers used to harp on about, eurhghhh...
Save your smoking money and go for a really nice meal somewhere, once your taste buds start working again its just magic.
It's almost worth smoking, to be able to stop, so you can retaste food, and get a much bigger boost from coffee.- *any latent, not 'and latest'.
Not smoking will NOT improve your ability to spell, or not be a twat.mikotondria3 - Also, your erection will be WAAAAY harder.Khurram
- SO true. Mines like a fucking rounders bat.SkyPoo
