Quitting Smoking

[Banjo]

Get a job in a large office building in a cold climate. Hanging out on the loading dock, freezing your ass off with the mail room losers will make you want to quit.

 

[Trixie]

I bet Banjo. damn

I intend to give up in my late twenties early thirties and let my body naturally recover from the abuse.

That's pretty much what I'm doin' now. I'm using the gum, and it's not so bad. The cravings aren't nearly as intense and actually easy to get over. Plus, the gum tastes like ass after twenty minutes so it's easy to spit them out.

Hopefully I won't get addicted to the gum. Hangin' out at the Walgreens, "Mister, you got any gum? No, not that bubble shit, the REAL gum!!!"

 

[Trixie]

never started that kind of thing. my step dad was a chain smoker when I was growing up and that was enough to put me off smoking.

 

[Ishcabittle]

That's a good thing Trixie, never start.

Of all the drugs you can put in your body, tobacco is the most addictive and any high you get is short lived. The real high, that is. Remember your first cigarette, smokers? The one (and only) that got you high as hell?

In the end, I'm kinda glad I don't have to venture outside every two hours in the single digit tempuratures.

 

[Trixie]

I don't plan to start. And I agree going outside to smoke especially right now with snow on the ground here wouldn't be cool at all.

 

[Mentalist]

I smoke out of boredom and a total dependency on nicotine.

 

[Trixie]

I know some people that tried quitting but thought that eating would help and holy cow it had quite the opposite effect on them. they ended up gaining a lot of weight.

I felt bad, one habit into another.

 

[Mentalist]

I don't eat.

 

[Trixie]

I didn't say you , I just said that some people I know did that when they tried.

Others could care less and quit cold turkey, I guess it depends on the person.

 

[Ishcabittle]

That's what I'm afraid of, trading habits. It probably won't be eating, I'm far to busy to do that...

... but the weed helps.
