Chewing gum is an alternative. And if you choose the minty ones you can
eventually wheen yourself off them with normal chewing gum. In the meantime
you can create insterersting and festive sculptures.

So you can make me suffer?

It was a festive and double meaning'd response. What do you want, blood?

 

Put it on e-bay, it'll make a fortune.

 

Festive? Man, that is _so_ last week.

Nah - by then you'll either have cracked it or you'll be back on the
weed, in which case I can give you an alternative method of giving up
(which involves, amongst other things, keeping it a secret from
everybody so it's too late this time round).

 

Not in the same league, but I would really miss chilli.

 

You may take away my cigarettes but nobody touches the caffeine. I
need at least one vice. <twitch>

 

Last time I stopped I tried that but it had a bitter taste and made my
mouth sore. I also used the plastic tube with the nicotine capsules
<thinks, that's still upstairs>

If I had a hit of nicotine now would I have to go through the really
bad craving bit again? i would wouldn't I. So I'll just pretend i
don't know where there is nicotine in the house. I wish I'd remembered
this yesterday evening.

Ah well, Matt's gone outside so I'll just sniff him when he comes back
in.

That would be rather cute if it wasn't for the fact your spit is
holding it together.

AndrewR says...

I'm working away in my old garage with a lit cogarette hanging from the
corner of my mouth. My middle daughter, then 9 or 10, comes in to tell
me dinner is ready. She looks at me and says in a very mature manner
"Those things are going to kill you one day". I replied along the lines
of "I've owned one since I was 16 and I'm not dead yet". Her reply was
to pull the ciggie from my mouth and screw it up under her toe before
walking off sighing.

 

It used to cost me a fortune too - then I took up rollies with
filters. 5 quid a week instead of 100 (I don't know if the amount of
tobacco used is exactly the same) and that's at full price - I pay
duty free prices as my neighbour gets them for me when she flies.

Yeah, my kids used to say that to me too.

Yep. My NYR is to cut down. Now, as a rollie smoker, I can do this in
a different way - I am now putting less baccy in the ciggie, rather
than cutting down on the number. I used to roll a fat one, now I'm on
prison specials.

<waves>

My tactic seems to be working so far, haven't felt deprived at all and
am not smoking any more ciggies.

I rather assumed that any recent Booker-winner would have already been
on the bookshelf.

 

Before I gave up I used to get through nearly a full 40g pack a day.
Never left the house without two packs of papers.

Even 'duty free' worked out jolly expensive.

OK, point taken.

I guess that forms the crux of what I'm trying to say - that I
believe, based solely on my own experience, that many more people
could learn to be occasional smokers, rather than trying, and often
failing, to give it up completely.

I admit to being unable to understand the sort of physical "must get a
hit to be normal" cravings to which you refer. Surely if you get used
to just smoking the occasional tab or three of an evening you're not
going to get these pangs first thing in the morning?

 

I really don't see how you can say this. When you have a drink or
three, do you feel that you're just 'relieving the pangs' of alcohol
addiction?

I'm not 'pro' smoking. I'm simply trying to posit a third way, where a
low, and relatively harmless, level of smoking could be viewed in the
same way as having the odd drink.

And your implied claim that I'm simply in denial about my reasons for
smoking are a nonsense, based as they are on the assumption that all
day, and sometimes for days at a time, when I'm not smoking I'm having
to fight a craving which is only satisfied when I finally relent and
light up. Codswollop.

I have the opportunity to smoke as much as I like, with a cafeteria in
the building not 100m from my desk where I could smoke to my heart's
content. But I don't, becasue I feel no desire to do so.

 

Good-oh. AAMOI do you smoke throughout the day, or just of an evening?

 

That's your story.

Bah - I speet on your .co.uk recommendations.

Well, not really - but I buy mostly from .com because I've got a U.S.
Mailing address, so buying from .co.uk is more expensive. And the
exchange rate, of course.

I'll give the fucker a whirl - thanks.
