A Slave To Nicotine
This is not a mug shot or a drivers license photo. I thought the same thing.
Anyway, it's safe to say that Maura Tierney of "E.R." is a slave to cigarettes. Homegirl has been puffing for 20 years and tells Glamour Magazine (via P6) the lengths she will go to get her fix.
She said: "When I can't have one, I'm fucked. I've found myself doing things I'm not proud of, like digging through the trash for a butt. Or smoking through bronchitis . . . During a five-minute break at work, I've had to make the decision: Should I pee, or should I smoke? I've tried to do both at the same time, and it's not very satisfying."
When you're going through the trash like a strung out crackhead, it's probably time to step away and maybe put on a nicotine patch or two (or twenty). Shit, maybe it's time to eat a box of fucking nicotine patches.
Although, I'm sort of the same way about coffee. One time when I was out of my drug of choice, I considered fishing out a dirty filter filled with used coffee grounds from the trash. I was thisclose. I took a deep breath and realized I had a problem. Instead, my lazy ass chose to drink a cup of hot water with like 20 bags or caffeinated Earl Grey tea in it.

I'mma go get this book of Amazon! The reviews are even good. I would love to stop!! Thanx.

how about you ram it up your rosie red rectum and rotate on it?
I have been there so many times. Smoking had such a hold on me too. I read The Easy Way to Quit Smoking by Alan Carr. I don't know why but it worked for me. I can't explain what the book does but the author kind of talks you into quitting. He doesn't try to scare you with health issues. If the fear of health issues worked, none of us would smoke. Some people who have read the book found it easy to quit. Not for me. I didn't have any physical discomfort but psycologically it was hard and some days I still think I want one. But deep down I know that I never want to be trapped by cigarettes again. It was hell. It's been 6 months for me and even though I think about having a cigarette, I just don't think I'll ever pick one up again.
I just gotta say it is the hardest thing ever! I sympathise with everyone who quits, wants to quit, can't quit etc...
I tried and tried and after smoking for a loooong time, I had a heart attack at a very young age. That's what it took for me to stop. Pretty harsh, but true.
I do not allow smoking in my house or car but anyone is welcome to step out on the back porch and light up with no hassle from me.
Hassling will NOT work, no one quits until it is their time!
Oh, and while I agree (for the most part) with the ban on smoking in the workplace, restaurants, etc., I do think casinos, bars and clubs should all allow it. I mean, c'mon. No one's up to any good or doing anything for their health at these places -- just losing all their money, drinking too much and contracting STDs. I know it's a health risk for the workers at these establishments but they should know that going into the job. I mean, it's not like they are Untouchable Rat Catchers in India (yeah, I watched Taboo last night). They actually have choices about where they work. But you know, I might even give in on that. The only places that I find it particularly sad we can't smoke anymore are the public places in Paris. How much fun was it to smoke and shop for chocolates at the same time!

Same here. Sometimes people don't know I smoke until they see me smoking. People tell me I never smell of nicotine and I don't smoke in my car or in my house. I'm not that much of a smoker though...I smoke about 5 cigs a day...mostly at work...when I'm drinking it's another story
-----------------
Same here....I don't smoke much (Newports baby!!!) and I only smoke AFTER smoking a joint/blunt/bong/pipe. I used to smoke at work (before, during and after) but just STOPPED and it wasn't hard. So I CUT DOWN on my usage, and I LOVE the way it tastes after a blunt so yea! :) I do take "breaks" from weed & cigs and get back on it...thats the key...have SELF CONTROL!
People can't tell I smoke and I don't smell like an ashtray! I brush my teeth 2-3 times a day (after smoking) and constantly air out my room (frebreze handy) so I won't have that linger smoke smell.
I mean I liked the responses from the smokers...if that's what you like to do, then by all mean, who the fuck ppl think they are? Oh their BETTER than you because they don't smoke? Pffft! I DO NOT DRINK, but I'm a smoker (and my mom's a smoker) so yeah whatever and I'm fit, ect...exercise (it helps get the tar out your lungs faster).
Look at all the smog, bullshit in food, chemicals, ect...people take in on a daily basis, so don't be a hyprocrite! ugh! The world is INDEED fucked up, so people have their vices to help them get through their daily events.
I DO NOT smoke around ppl that don't smoke, children, ect... so I'm corteous. Oh so all non-smokers are "corteous"? please! don't knock it if YOU don't do it! What about your "bad habits"? they may be more disgusting than smoking so i digress!
- SMOKERS UNITE! you have one life to live, and its clear that you can taken off ANYTIME, and it don't have to be from something smoking related? ENJOY LIFE! STOP denying what you enjoy doing!!! if you like to smoke, shit DO IT! all you're doing is making yourself miserable and end up binging (its happened to me)
THAT LADY diggin the garbage cans needs HELP (and not all smokers do that shit), but I have craved for a ciggie BAD when I really needed one, so I know the feeling of that LOL
My breath is not foul from smoking (i brush) but some NON SMOKERS breath smell like fucking DOG ASS but who am I to say???
********************************
"I fucking drink beer and party!"
I'm a former smoker so I understand everyone's point of view here, the smokers and the smoke haters. However, I never ever persecute smokers because I understand, I used to be one. I'm never going to be one of those asswipes harping on about how you really should quit, it's bad for you, blah blah blah. Like, DUH. There is nothing you can say to a smoker that the smoker doesn't already know. I let the smokers be & go about my bizness.
Let me share how I quit for anyone interested. The first time I tried I seriously felt like a junkie going through withdrawal. I lasted 3 months, started again, & couldn't quit. I thought there has to be an easier way. I didn't want do go on drugs either. I also had a friend who went on Zyban at the time and it only stopped him smoking for 2 weeks & he put on a bunch of weight.
Then another friend recommended a book, The Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr, that her bf read and quit. I went out and bought it, so did my Zyban friend, and we both quit. Not only did it work it was SUPER EASY. I had Trainspotting type withdrawals during my previous attempts, and after reading this book it was like I never smoked. I found the whole process enjoyable & empowering.
They also have seminars all over the world for people who don't have success with books. They're a bit more expensive than a book, but with the money spent on smokes it pays for itself super fast. I swear I'm not associated with this company. You can get this book at your local library too I'm sure. I've recommended it to various people since and it seems to work for most. I hope I helped at least one person out.
Cheers.
I hate smoking. I've been trying very hard to quit. And I've quit for months at a time before. Just some things make me want to smoke -- mostly, talking on the phone, traffic, and just seeing some faces. Some people tell me, "You should really give that up." And I know it but what they don't realize is if I didn't have a cigarette, I would talk to them and indulge them a hell of a lot less.
And yeah, it's an expensive habit in Chicago and New York but it's oh so cheap in CA, where I'm living now!
I hate when I see young girls with cigarettes. It really pisses me off. They gear smoking towards women, and lung cancer is the number one killer of women in America. I know it's been said that breast cancer and heart are, but it's not....google it.
If I don't get my coffee I'm a real bitch for two reasons:
1)I need my damn caffeine fix
2)I can't take a shit!
actually did you know tea has 3 times the amount of coffee

Just finally quit smoking after 10yrs of doing it.
the city of NY gave out free nicotine patches and Im amazed @ how easy it was for me to quit and I was up to a pack a day , but I know all too well that if you feed into the "nicotine as a stress relieving crutch" its easy to get hooked both physically & psychologically.
I worked in the tobacco fields as a child, started smoking cigs @ age 10, was full on by age 16,( back then you only had to be 16 to buy cigs and we could even smoke @ high school!)I finally stopped @ age 23 after I got so sick of the smoke smell working in a 24hr diner in NYC back in the 80s where people never put one out , then cranked up again back in '98, only to finally quit again, and hoping this time will be for good. Getting too old for that shit.
At $8.50 per pack , quitting for a month saved me $250 bux.
For now I will stick to the occasional 1 x a month "420 break" and let the cigs go....
I do feel the no smoking rule to be fair in restaurants but bars and clubs should have the option to be smoking or non by purchasing a license.
Not sure why I told you all this, just wanted to share my smoking story .
Oh & my friends always says when we go to the bars and douches have on waaay too much Calvin & AXE body spray.."Let the Cologne wars begin"... LOL
"I used to have a drug problem. Now I make enough money.-" David Lee Roth
if anyone can get stupid people to stop procreating, then I will stop smoking! or designate a National Smack a Bitch Day (like every day)
Pinky swear!!
but as long as there are stupid people on this earth, I'mma have to light one up occasionally.

"What happens when another vice becomes offensive and it happens to be one of yours? Don't make it so easy to take things away."
If every time I drank a beer next to someone else, I turned around and pissed into their mouth... That would be a vice I could see taken away, and rightfully so.
I grew up with two parents who smoked, and have very little sympathy. Be happy that murderous shit is still legal at all.

Alright, one more then i will get on topic.
In the beginning
I believed every word that you said
Now that you're gone
My world is in shreds
Oh you loved me and left me
You took all the things that I needed so bad
I'm standing here wondering
Where is the love that I had
Give me silver, blue and gold
The color of the sky I'm told
My rainbow is overdue
In the beginning
There was something of love that was mine
Now that it's gone
Whoa I'm crying
Oh the time that it takes for a love to grow cold
Is a wonder to me
I'm walking around with my head hanging down
Tell me where is she
Don't forsake me 'cause I love you
