Cowgirl said:Hmm...I don't know. If she has, it's not much. I'd rather be a few lbs overweight and smoke free than thin and a smoker any day though.
I was thinking that if it made me loose weight, that may be worth giving up smoking for
I'll let you know if I ever have that attitude!Cowgirl said:Hmm...I don't know. If she has, it's not much. I'd rather be a few lbs overweight and smoke free than thin and a smoker any day though.
In all seriousness, smoking is a personal choice. Decisions about where you can smoke have gone off the deep end.
But - This subject is reasonable and rational. On the occasion that I flick - forgetfulness/old habit - I immediately feel guilty. Not just for fire hazzard or awareness of other drivers (open windows/motorcyclists) or even just littering.. but also that we live near so much water and that eventually, the rivers and Bay inhabitants may get clogged by our butts.
(so, I put them out, bag them and trash can them until transfer run... If the squirrels decide to make lunch out of them, that's their Darwinian fate

Cigarette flicking is a pet-peeve of mine. When I was younger, I worked at a motel and every morning I had to go around the parking lot sweeping up the butts and I was amazed/disgusted by how MANY there were, every day. THEN, I married a smoker who always flicked the butts out the window. One year we decided to take a camping vacation for a week in the VA mountains, so we hooked up the pop-up camper and headed down the road. She flicked a butt out the window, it lodged in the space where the top and bottom of the camper meet, ignited the canvas and mattress and burned the whole thing down. Total loss. So we saved what we could from the ashes and headed back home and as soon as we started down the highway, she lit up another cigarette. I have never wanted to choke someone so badly in all my life.

Cool that it worked for you. I just saw something on TV a few weeks ago about this and wanted to check into it more. They say it could well curb cravings that alcoholics have for alcohol as well....................residentofcre said:Never thought I'd be saying this... but if anyone wants to quit I found an easy way to quit... I quit almost 6 weeks ago... haven't gained a pound... as a matter of fact I've lost 27 and I don't miss smoking a bit.... Chantix is a pill ... best cure in the world... smoked for over 40 years...
Just a thought.....

It's a 12 week thing... you have to get a prescription from your doctor...
The first week you can smoke but by the 5th day you really don't want a cigarette anymore. It closes down the part of the brain that wants nicotine.
I have actually gone through the nicotine withdrawal with none of the side affects... no need to slowly withdraw because there was no craving... it has been really easy....
I never... ever... ever thought I would quit.... but now I can stand around people who smoke and it doesn't phase me at all... I'm 7 or 8 weeks [I'll have to check the calendar] tomorrow and it's awesome....
the first pack of 4 weeks was about $50 ... the next box is cheapest at Walmart $112 and I'll have to get the price for the last 4 weeks... cause I haven't gotten there yet...
Oh and there's a website with a goofy daily reminder of how good you are doing and why you quit and what you should be doing today to continue...

Example Lighthouse!!!!! Most smokers don't care.Cowgirl said:This should be common sense, but please don't throw your butts out the window. It is very dry out and fires can easily be started (as we've seen by the brush fire thread, and several field fires in our area). There's a reason your cars have ash trays!
