What Do You Want Now?

[tarzegetakizerd]

I used to smoke din, & I would say the best way to quit is cold turkey. I would always tell my friends that it's so easy to quit. Ilang beses ko na ginawa. hehe.

I only smoke nowadays when I am with my friend who smokes. Sometime during the holiday, he said he only smokes when he's with me. HAHAHA

mahina talaga EQ ko LOL
isang araw lang di ko pa magawa

take up pipe smoking!
it will enhance your cultural upbringing, and you will look more dignified.
pipe tobacco has several flavors. i like chocolate and strawberry. i used to go to the boss's office, just to langhap that delicious smell.

or go fvr tabako or demi moore tobacco!
very dignified.


heh heh.

Expensive bisyo and mostly for older men :P DOM age na ba si ninja? LOL! I have Uncles that are into cigars and they go as far as travel for it. They even have a special storage for their cigars (humidor) I remember when my Uncle gave my ex Cohiba and Romeo y Julieta to try. Uncle said it goes well with Cognac so I thought of buying my ex para completo na experience niya, I was shocked at how expensive Cognac is, siya na lang bumili sa sarili niya e libre na naman cigar

EDIT: You were talking about pipe smoking pala doc, which is totally different, but I think that is even more DOM than cigars

i gather, the government's anti-smoking strategy is working?

working in the sense that there are more people kicking the habit? or that prices of cigarettes have gone up?

i can't answer that categorically but in my circle, more and more people have stopped smoking as the years have gone by. aside from those gory illustrations pasted on the front of cigarette packs, the ex-smoker friends i have accepted the fact that it's just a down right unhealthy past time. they say they just want to live healthier lives mainly for their kids.

iyong iba naman opted to take up vaping. i'm not sure if that's better or worse.

like i mentioned previously doc, the alternative nowadays is vaping. but the jury is still out on that one w/ regards to its "healthiness".

i hear the iqos is the best choice when trying to snuff smoking. iyon daw ang malinis...or so i heard.

.

the government's strategy is two-fold.
the increased price of smokes will hinder some folks from indulging too much, thus potentially reducing morbidity and government expense vis a vis health systems support.
also, the tax therein will go to the health systems purse of the government.

vaping is tricky.
one factor is that there are so many choices of 'flavors', making research on the ill-effects of vaping, less straightforward.

Yezzir. Started smoking in 3rd year high school up until i was well into my working years na.

Pinipilit ko na lang dati pag naglalaro pero syempre hingal kabayo na. [emoji206]

On a sidenote, Nagugulat ako sa presyo ng cigarettes ngayon. Talagang bisyo na kasi mapapagastos ka na din. Hindi tulad dati magkano lang naman yosi. Mas lalo na kapag tingi-tingi na binili kanila manang tindera. [emoji23]

do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

Nice recovery. Maaga aga ka pala nagstart. I didn't start til college. Was a 1-1.5 pack a day guy back in the day.

sakin naman bro 3 months pneumonia binigay sakin ng vape
nagalit na doctor sakin, mas guaranteed daw nya hahaba ang buhay ko sa yosi LOL

May nabalitaan ako nagka collapsed lung. Nakarecover naman sya but what a scare that was.

Looks like vaping is scarier than smoking.

I also didn't find it hard to quit. Just did it cold turkey one day like the other guys. Guess it's different for everyone. Just keep trying bro. Iba talaga pakiramdam after.
