Someone Believes That People Who Don’t Smoke Are Boring, Gets The Perfect Lesson

There’s nothing romantic about a morning cigarette with a cup of coffee after coughing your lungs out. And even though cigarette smoking among U.S. adults (aged 18 and over) declined from 20.9 percent in 2005 to 15.5 percent in 2016, that means nearly 38 million American adults still smoke “every day” or “some days”, according to data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Powerful anti-smoking ads may have played a role in this decline, however, sometimes individual efforts can be just as effective. Recently, someone on tumblr tried to glorify cigarettes, so another user stepped in to share their take on it, and it’s so vivid it might change your perspective.

My father smoked up until the day he died. When I gave to my first daughter the Midwife asked me if I smoked as I had a smokers placenta. I don't smoke and don't hang out around people who do. Yet I was still affected years after leaving home.

A smokers placenta does not have anything to do with your parents smoking, as far as I know. My first Baby died because of Placental insufficiency. My placenta looked like a Smokers placenta too. But, this can happen in 1 to 1000 pregnancies. Doctors can't explain why. It's like sudden infant death syndrome. Its a risk but they do not know what causes it. Everything was ok with my baby. It was perfect. Up until the 38 week, when they could not find a heartbeat anymore. I told my doc that my parents were smokers and I by default a passive smoker until I was 17. Noone ever said that this could have been the trigger. But I'm curious now and will ask my current Doc and Midwife.

Smoking gave me a heart attack at age 31... The arteries are clogged too much due to continuous smoking since age 17...i only smoked with my friends to look cool and i didn't get any kick from it like alcohol... Later on it became a compulsory addiction... Just stop it guys, now it's been 5yrs straight and even a smell from others smoking makes me repel and puke...i would be dead by now if i didn't stop.. My daughter was 1 yr old when i got the attack...i got to see her smile everyday now.. My lungs and body thank me so much.... Pls leave that s**t.... It's not worth it at all...

I smoke and I tried to quit, I tried Chantix, but I had almost every side effects and I was goign crazy and I was sick all the time. It wasnt for me, I tried the gum, it released to much nicotine and made me puke, I tried the patch, nope, no go either. We all know it's dumb, that it stinks and that we shouldnt do it but it's an addiction (just like alcoholics, or drug addicts, they are addicted) it's not just a habit. We try, we fail, we try again... There is nothing glorified about smoking, just like there is nothing wonderful about being an alcoholic or a drug addict.

I was like you, tried everything in the book to no avail. I finally quit using ecigs. I started with the ejuice that as 24 nicotine (no idea how much nicotine it was but it was the highest I could get). I used that level for 2 months, then I went down to the next level, I believe it was 18 nicotine. I used that for a month and then just kept stepping down each month until I wasn't using any nicotine. I stopped using the ecig then because I thought it was just stupid to keep going through the motions without the nicotine and I didn't need to be doing that. I did relapse once after the first initial month and had a cig but I took as deep of a breath as I could and went right back to the ecig. After the first month, I started to notice that I didn't smell bad, my clothes didn't smell bad and that people were more reluctant to come around. I wish you the best in your quest. I know you can do it =)

Hypnosis? Good luck quitting. It's a very brave thing to do, and you can do it.

I never smoked, but my hubs & M-I-L both successfully quit. Hubby said as long as he could avoid a cigarette for the first hour after waking up he could go the whole day, just take it an hour at a time. Mom has been smoke-free for 18 years and still keeps a pack in her dresser drawer; she says as long as she knows they are there if she needs them she's good. I don't know if these tips will help you but I hope they do. Best of luck, you can do it!
