Smokers and their cigarettes
 

I used to smoke until January this year. I started at the age of 13 and stopped with 23.

When I was still smoking most other smokers reacted kinda angry if you asked them for a cigarette. But now that I don't smoke anymore everybody tries to get me smoking again by offering a free one. Why is that? If you know that somebody finally stopped smoking after years why do you have to offer him one? Just because you're so weak and not able to quit smoking yourself? :mad:

Please start smoking again, the government need money.

I smoked for 7 year or so ... stopped 4 years ago ... gained some weight after that - feel fine tho :P

"Cancer Sticks." Too bad the government doesn't force cigarette companies to advertise their products that way. Less people would buy them.

Its because a lot of smokers like to smoke socially. If there friend no longer smokes, they start to miss it :)

I think it is just human nature. People dont feel so bad about smoking if everyone around them is doing it. They like to empathize with one another.

I dunno if that's necessarily true... We all already know the effects of smoking and it hasn't stopped many of us, myself included

I tried that when I tried to quit ,bum a few smokes at the bar and said fuck it and started again

I'd say that's pretty inconsiderate of the people that offer you cigs. Quitting smoking is VERY hard to do... you worked hard for it, why would they want to ruin your work?

grats on quitting, btw. I'll quit again pretty soon.

It's a pretty easy answer: Stop hanging out with people who offer you smokes.
If you say they're friends, a true friend would respect you not wanting to smoke and not offer you one (even though they'd smoke around you).
If I read your post right, you're 23, yes? If so, you're fucked. Unless you're some sort of early twenties bad-ass, you'll keep succumbing to the nuances of that early-twenties culture. Deal with it and stop bitching about it until you get over it.

I quit for 4 years and then I had a dream I was sitting at a bar smoking. 3 years later Im smoking I love my dreams!!

It's like a recovering alcoholic who insists on hanging out at the pub with his drinking buddies. The buddies don't want to see him sober around them, no matter how hard it was for him to quit.

yup the bar is trouble if trying to quit.i quit twice for almost a year each time.everytime i fell off the wagon was when i was out drinking with friends and like a dumbass thought i could hang just having one or two here and there.Ya Right!its like a recovering heroin addict trying to hang out at a smack house and only take one fix.Just doesnt work like that.

canada does,and more.
