my god plaese stop smoking shannen

[Deleted]

ditto! smoking is bad for your health, Shannen, yes, yes *nodding*! are you guys also against smoking? i am strongly against it and i also don't like the smell! i always have to caugh when someone is smoking near me.

[Thunda]

Same here, most of the guys I work with smoke, I just stay away from them when they do.

[Deleted]

yes, i also try to keep a certain distance to smokers.

Well sorry guys but after all i've been through in my life and the therapy i endure not to mention my counsiling a cigarette is the only thing that keeps me from what i used to do well that and my friends and take it this way its better than other drugs she could be doing instead of cigarettes.

I'd probably kill myself before picking up a cigarette, by taking a cigarette I'd be killing myself anyway, just slow and painful. I had a long run of depression in school, thought about killing myself, never really seriously (ok, well maybe a little). I got through it, just kept it bottled up inside, never really found a way to relieve my stress, so I'm not much help.
Still, it's a horrible thing that's been invented, it kills many, many people. Once you've picked up a cigarette it's almost impossible to stop smoking, takes a lot of willpower to let go.
I have nothing against people who smoke, they are just normal people. I just don't like being around a smoker when they are smoking, because it stinks.

Best of luck for giving up smoking Katie.

Wait. Who's the one smoking? Because either way, my dad used to smoke, and I told him to stop and everything, it was really bad for him, and the basic facts, and he stopped. I kinda saved his life, because one day, I was only like, 6, and i caught him leaning against the truck, smoking. I told him it was bad, and he stopped. Smoking is a bad thing. It kills so many people. not to mention, it could hurt other people as well. I would give it up. Smoking dameges you insde very badly. Give it up. Give it up! For the sake of yourself and others.

I personally don't plan to pick up a cigarette. It is true that it is a really big addiction, and once you start it is really hard to stop. There are people that seem to have more reasons than others to start (I'm not saying you ever should), but I really don't have any of those reasons.

Before this thread I hadn't realized that Shannen smoked at all. I know that Holly smokes when she is nervous, but I hope that both of them are able to give it up.

And Katie, good luck with everything

Ok you guys your about to see the gory details about me so hopefully you get why i smoke.When i lived in flroida i tried to kill myself in the worst way possible i took a half a bottle of pain killer,cut my wrists all thge way up to the crease where my elbow is then tried to hang myself in the process.Now i did that because i felt like my dad dying when i was a baby was my fault because my mom made me feel that way not to mention i was going to therapy and was being made to tell my therapist that i was raped years ago so all my new feelings were driving me to do it and i felt like the world would be better without me in it.My friends mom caught me when i was about to hang myself and rushed me to the hospital after i got out i got into drugs really really bad when my friends mom found out she made me go to a sort of rehab and while i was there the only thing that helped me calm down and stop shacking really bad was a cigarette i can quit at any time but for right now it calms me down and i don't plan on quitting until i know my shacking can be controlled along with my i guess you can call them fits or attacks stop.

Hopefully now you guys understand and please don't try to get me to quit i have this need to make people happy that i care about (and i care about all of you) so if i didn't quit when you asked or quit but started again all i would think about is disappointing you guys and i couldn't live with that.I'm sorry.I know all of the horrible facts and what it does to your body but i'm not ready to quit.Again i'm sorry.

[melindawarren]

It's fine. I won't make you stop, as much as I find it hard to believe to stop myself from stopping you.
Does that even make sense?
Well, I think that everyone deserves their rightd, and even tohugh I hate cigarettes, and that people smoke, I see your reasons why.
I just hope those things stop.
Don't get addicted.
Just letting you know, there ARE better ways to help yourself stay calm.
My dad used to smoke when I was little, about 5, and now and a lot, I can still see myself walking up to him leaning agaists the large white bolted truck with a blue hood, and seeing him puff out the gray poluted stuff, and asking him to stop. Pleading with my last nerve, and informing him about the facts. And then he stopped. So I hope you find a way to stop, and something different t help your life.

Aww, I feel so bad for her. I smoke too and I know if she got sick a lot of you guys couldn't take it . Well the best for her, and angelpiper1329. (And me... )

[AngelPiper1329]

Well melinda i understand your hatred for them and i don;t blame you and maybe there are other ways to help me but only ways that i would get addicted to and end up hurting myself again and i don;t want that, i know there bad and yes they are slowly killing me trust me my boyfriend tells me it all the time but its better than hurting myself faster,I do feel lucky that my friends on here are some of the few people who would care and be worried if anything ever happened to me and for that i feel blessed everyone on here makes my day better everyday and puts a smile on my face i love you guys for eveything you say and do your awsome and the best to you Lola like i said in the pm if you ever want to talk about anything im me or pm me i'm always here.
