I'M QUITTING .... AGAIN !!!

saying thanks and finishing the matter is easy but to obey is tuff. :P

Fatimah. Thank you very much for your wishes and kind words...

thanks we were missing the lungi today hahahaha

May Allah grant you success and steadfastness in keeping to your decision..Aameen. After the pain and deaths I've seen even in my family of those addicted to smoking and/or alcohol I can only feel joyous to know of someone eliminating such vices before they find themselves eliminated! All the best and keep it up and should your friends try to pressurize you into resuming your old habits then you may need to rethink such friendships.

CL, now go run hide behind tat torn and stinking skirt of Tinker....Lols

Tinki.. did you see that.. he was hitting on me in your absence... :P

Rizks.. its alright.. you can have smoke ?? :P

Yuckkk Smoke.. wait .. im gonna throw up now !!

CL unfortunately for you i'm a hottie that smokes...Snessy was not "specific" in her description of "hottie"...come kiss me quick :p

Ok...:(

Rizks.. You'll never get a hottie .. no matter what you do :P

Well CL, today i will make sure i will go home and start smoking and tomorrow morning will QUIT smoking, will i get a hottie ? :(

haha.. smoke.. doesn't matter.. i like the taste anyway.. and its always better if its coming from anything else other than cigarette :P

Funny..you should quit smoking and get a hottie that smokes hahahaha!

Well Rizks.. this thread is about quitting smoking ..its advantages and disadvantages .. so one of the advantage of quitting ciggies is you get the hotties faster :P

is this thread abt quiting smoking or getting hotties and kissing them...? :)

Smoke.. i already got one - Snessy .. LOL :P

its easier to quit smoking than to find hotties to kiss in Qatar hahahaha so good luck on that CL :P

Oh yeah, Snessy thanks.. efff it smoke..im not coming to your coffee meet anyway :P

this option is only for CL and what about the other quitters :P

Don't worry CL, whilst Smoke is out drinking coffee and smoking with the lads, you'll be kissing the hotties because you no longer smoke.

This is just to show you quitters what you are missing...no one likes quitters :P

its ok smoke.. dont invite to me your coffee meet.. i have better things to do .. like.. going home and covering my head under the pillow, crying and cursing you for not inviting me :(

y this discrimination :(

Pappu we can meet else where not at the coffee meeting that will be specially for "smokers" :)

i am allowed rite as u were the one to invite me first;)

lol he can on special permission

Smoking has no time limit, UK.....:)

As if you will be allowed out after 6pm Rizks.

No only authentic passionate smokers..not wanna be smokers are allowed.

Umm..i can smoke one beedi tat day !

Can i be invited now ? :(

UKeng thats a good idea..only smokers will be allowed to attend...too bad Captain wont be invited.

ROFL..Smoke, Its better to "Look like Rizks" than actually "Being Rizks" .. :P

you'll be just like Rizks.. (see his comment at 11:08am for reference) :D

Lol saala !

smoke can we have a smoke and coffee get together soon..:)

Quit at your own risk...and go on to look like Rizks :P

Thank you smoke for all the compliments. Now i believe i have all these qualities, i can quit..haha

I dont think CL has any friends who have quit smoking. I dont get along too well with non smokers.

Smoke's Benefits of Smoking:

1. Creative and Super Ideas

2. Making friends

3. Keep people you dont like away from you.

4. Relives your stress

5. Spend less on Chewing gums and other nonsense products

6. Great for playing billiards

7. Looks cool

8. Goes well with coffee

9. Shortens your life so that you can go to the after life quicker (I heard its paradise)

10. Irritates non smokers :D

Lady in Black: Thank you very much for your kind words.. :)

and yes, after snessy's comment at 10:46am.. i dont think i'll EVER smoke again ;)

CF ... Thanks for sharing the info.. very useful indeed :)

Snessy, Honestly i dont remember how long i've been smoking but at-least 8 years and my lungs haven't thanked me yet, coz i guess the don't trust me anymore :P

BG.. no harm, as far as its helping someone :)

yes later on turn him into a passive smoker :)

Yes Sness and we men dont like women who smoke too, especially the ones with the tache..:)

Quit smoking one for all CL......

you need strong will and determination to quit smoking before its too late. Talk to your friends who had already quit smoking and ask them why they quit?

All the best

CL you can be my passive smoker, i'll smoke for you my phrend!

CL u got a stalker

http://qatarliving.com/node/2811547

change ur self to passive smoker ;)

CL: how long has it been now since you quit? Have your lungs personally thanked you yet?

I decided quitting some months ago ... which i did for some few hours.. say maybe 10hrs , then i realized it was a bad idea .... So i resume smoking and live happily ever after lolxxx

try to chew a chewing gum it worked well for me,, it's a good alternative

I've given up smoking, but taken up pottery. Trouble is it gets a bit messy after the odd clinch :O(

denzil, 4 to 5 packs a day, His face used to RED, though he never ever used to Drink Alcohol, His Habit almost took his life ....

Thankfully now he is fine, but with Limited Movement of his Body....

Because you ask for some side effects, so I googled it and below is what I found. And I would suggest not to quit because there are lot of side effects. hehe!

If you are determined to stop smoking for good here’s a review of top 10 possible side effects of quitting smoking. Some people experience just a few of them while others feel none at all:

1. You might feel sad and mildly depressed as the routine of your day changes and there’s no familiar feel of cigarettes in your hands and mouth.

2. Feelings of boredom are quite common side effects of quitting smoking as you might start realizing that smoking takes a lot of time throughout your day. Creating new daily rituals to replace smoking can be beneficial to successfully continue your smoking cessation.

3. Anger, anxiety and irritability are all temporary side effects of quitting smoking that will soon pass. Nicotine withdrawal timeline is different for everyone but the first 72 hours without nicotine are the hardest. Reward yourself by doing something special as getting a massage, watching a movie or going on a trip.

4. Along with emotional side effects of quitting smoking there are some physical ones as well. You might develop a headache, mild tremors, feeling too cold or too hot, these are all normal nicotine withdrawal symptoms.

5. Increased coughing, sinus discharge and wheezing indicated that your body is in the process of nicotine detoxification.

6. Your sleep patterns might change as well. Some people report frequent night awakenings, night sweats and insomnia.

7. Indigestion, constipation and bloatedness might also accompany your smoking cessation. Nicotine is a strong stimulant and your body will soon learn to naturally regulate digestion without the stimulants.

8. Gum sensitivity and bleeding, changes to your taste of smell and taste are possible nicotine gum side effects if you take it to make quitting easier.

9. General feelings of discomfort and tiredness are very common.

10. Nicotine is a powerful drug and you might also experience some unusual pains you have never felt before in your muscles, chest and virtually anywhere.

While there are some side effects of quitting smoking, understanding all the benefits of giving up smoking you are going to gain might make smoking cessation easier for you.

Hey Captain- ALL THE BEST....I would say Go for it...It definitely needs lots of guts to quit smoking...Say NO to yourself when u see or think about it...

P.S. All the girls are against smoking :P

.........

LOL ..Tinki.. NO !! im just messing with snessy .. im CLEAN :P

hmmm probably cause when u smoked alot your body found smoke air to be the good air(oxygen) and when u stoped and smelt the fresh air it tuned your nostrils back to normal lol

LOL.. Snessy.. dont you have the option for "seconds" :P

Snessy, CL is a big time liar !

I am a Non-smoker by birth ! :)

I mean whats the side effects ?!??! Im scared of quiitting because of the negative side effects , yeas the positive are more , but im scared what will happen to me ?? can someone tell us what happens when u quit>?!

All i noticed when i quit for 26 hours i was able to smell smoke on my clothes from smoking a day before which didnt smell before , i had like a new sense of smell!

Haha CL! How long have you been a non-smoker now? 5 mins? 10 mins? 1 hour? ;-)

reading those comments he might quit smoking n start drinking

Good news for you snessy, i'm not a "smoker" anymore.. are we good now ? :P

Truth be told, once your addicted to something its really hard to quit, would take a while b4 u set yourself free .. try reducing the numbers of sticks/packs u take a day .. thats a start

LOL Smoke.

MN.. LOL.. yeah, but you can keep on doing it :P

So you quitting puffin on smoky!

DW.. did you lay all your legs?? LOL :P

Well man, i never knew there were "side effects" of quitting cigarettes ?? Please share any if you know?

I quit smoking every night before i sleep and start every morning :)

All the best

and try not to smoke even when you meet friends who smokes

Here let me tell you what I do .

Every morning ithrow my pack out of the car and say im going to quit , then i see my collegaues at work smoking so i go with them.

The longest i went without a smoke is 26 hours , the reason im scared to stop is because of the side effects?

What are the side effects of quitting smoking?

ROFL .. Khanan..thats the problem, how can i forget that... so better i remember it without smoking :P

still you have to forget, how rudely you were kicked out of the group ;)

Good Luck! Been trying...the biggest gap I had was a year and 8 months!

All the best! Good decision and stick to it...

deathrow.. LOL .. Well, yeah but the fact is every smoker wants to quit. except few idiots :P

No offense Smoke :)

Ahh i just had a lovely smoke and now i'm back to give more lectures on why smoking is good for you.

"..nicotine does enhance our ability to think, perform and take tests. Thanks to new research, scientists now know it increases our memory function, too.

read this article: http://news.discovery.com/human/smoking-is-good-for-you.html

Leave out the minor negatives. Look at the bigger picture :D

LOL you sound just like one of my friend who said he'd stop,then we made a bet "If caught he gets lashed" 2 weeks after dude began smoking again , LOL ... Try using the money for cigg to buy drinks instead

Rizks..that's just a nature's game.. now look at you .. you never smoked a single cigarette :P

Umm...one more SERIOUS drawback of smoking is...u get IMPOTENT ! :)

ROFL.. Smoking does let you get close to your enemies and far away from your beloved ones :D

Umm...wat if the boss is a non smoker ?

Then he will kick all the smokers out of his organization and promote all the nonsmokers and even send them for a World Tour ! :)

Smoking lets you get closer to the boss who smokes :D Easily suck up to him and get that well deserved promotion :D

I had a relationship with a girl, who used to think that smoking is pretty cool on boys and looks MANLY .. but again i was just a kid then and a fool .. :P

Smokers get their own personal "Smoking Lounge" have you ever heard of a "Non-Smoking Lounge". When u go to a restaurant they ask you "Sir would you like to be seated in the smoking section or would you prefer to sit with the rest of the idiots?"

Smoke dont lie, u hav lipz like a Camel and teeths so yellowish tat even yellow color is ashmed of himself...:(

LOL Smoke, that explains why they didn't mind snogging an ashtray...:-)

Has the Qatar Govt. not increased the fine for smoking in non designated areas?

My lips are not bad..teeth are yellow well cant help it..u cant get everything :P

I used to be addicted to coffee.... but then switched to herbal tea.

Pappu meet me you will start smoking again :D

yes rizks that is true i have also seen.

not only yellow teeths and black lips..also bad smell and bad lungs

Smoke.. Excused .. and NO, you come with a your pack with one cigarette out of it and offer me to smoke :P ..

wt u need is will power and den the surroundings do matter.

for me i stoped smoking on 17 dec 2011 as was hospitalized and since till now didnt fag :)

Smokers have black lips and yellow teeths.....:(

Is tat true ?

Snessy people move on, they didnt leave coz i was a smoker....hmm come to think of it..most of them were smokers themselves lol.

Excuse me? Do i tell you to come and take the ciggies out of MY PACK?

Smoke: those particular girls are in you past now, right? I wonder why...:-)

CL: glad to be of assistance!

LOL Snessy !

Thank God, i dont smoke ! :)

Pink hippie and smoke.. i agree with you both, and yeah nothing works if you are not committed to do it .. and smoke don't you offer me cigarettes while playing pool .. you're a bad influence ..lol :P

Snesssy.. now thats very "motivating" ;).. i'll definitely quit now :D

lolz smoke.

u dont need a reason to start smoking neither shld u while quitting

Snessy none of my past gf's ever had a problem kissing me...my wife on the other hand well she just hates the smell but we are married and she has no choice hahahahah!

yeah will power also needed.

agree with snessy lol

Hey CL i've got one. When ever you have an urge to smoke put the exact cost of that ciggi/ciggi'ssss in a piggi bank by the end of the month open the piggy and you will be amased. You will also get a bit richer, But Dont go out and buy Good quality Smokes.....

No one likes kissing a smoker...that should be a good enough incentive.

TRUST ME...nothing works..unless you have the will power to stop it yourself. Chewing gum or bum does not help at all.

Now why in the world would u want to quit? Smoking is good for you, its herbal, its brings you amazing ideas when taking a dump, its a damn good conversation starter at bars and it really feels good after sex :D

I gave up smoking in 87 and never looked back..Didn't have the gadgets back then to help..I think the main thing is to actually want to stop,if your not 100% committed to it, it will never work..My husband struggles gives up for months then back on it..Don't be too hard on yourself if you have a set back..Just keep trying..Good luck! :)

Thanks Blue_rose for the suggestion .. and yes, thats what i do :)

good hope the other smokers quit smoking , too much of smoke in here :)

very bad CL...its bad for health..why u started again? just coz u meet some new smoker friends?? hope you meet with some new non-smoker friends too.

anyway i have read somewhere to stop smoking..you can chew a gum whenever u feel like smoking a cig.

Tinki.. LOL..thank .. and yeah i wont :D

CF: Well i can quit smoking but not smokey ;)

And then there is Smoke on QL! I'll be darned if even think of quitting our relationship is OVER!

unfriend smokey... hehee! i'm sure he will disagree with quitting smoke.
