Bestest friends... 1 week ago

On a pack a day at the moment, but frankly, I can’t really afford to smoke anymore. I just don’t know how i could possibly function without them! Its pretty shameful. They’re like best friends when there’s nothing to do! Ideally I’d like to cut down to 5 a day



don't really want to but... 1 week ago

i need to. i adore smoking, as odd as it sounds. it just relaxes me and i really enjoy it. but it’s breaking me, and i know how awful it is for my health. the thing i’m most concerned about is gaining weight with it… i smoke a little less than a pack a day (usually about 14 or 15 per day), sometimes more, especially if i’m drinking.

I absolutely LOVE smoking. I do, and I don’t want to quit. However, I have a really bad case of ashtma and it may even kill me if I don’t cut my ciggies. So, from 1 pack a day I’m trying to smoke up to 5 cigs (though I allow myself to smoke more when I’m at the bar drinking, or when I’m rehearsing). It’s also really bad for my voice, and we’ve been noticing the improvements when we play. If I can keep this up for more than one month, I will consider the goal done.



I think i've hit an all time low. 4 months ago

Waking up about an hour ago only to realise that i had misplaced my lighter and that we no longer keep matches in my house i had to spark my cigarette off the cooker..

my goal is to wait 1h30min at least between each cigarrete
will start tomorrow

now I’ve been smoking a pack everyday for two years, and easily two when Im out drinking(altho I always get to share with people in this situation)

I started with this approach: there must be at least two hours between cigarettes.

Today I’ve smoked 3 cigarettes (It’s 3pm). Normally I would’ve smoked 5 or 6, so, It’s good.

I smoke plenty and I really enjoy it. But from now on I plan on smoke only in moments when I’m not doing anything else. So it’s fine to make a break at work to have a good cup of coffee and a smoke, but not while driving, reading, etc.

I should be smoking less if I keep on that plan.



hmmm so hard to stop 7 months ago

i would smoke around 10 aday, its such a habbit at work or college just to get out for some fresh air and have a quick break.
And after meals theres nothing nicer than having a smoke.

I really wana try and quit but its so hard to get the will power and motivation.
Maybe i should make a bet or something to try and motivate me lol



Because smoking isn't so good for a performer. 13 months ago

I am a performer. My life is pretty much musical theater. So obviously, smoking is not the best thing for me to do.
I’ve only been smoking for like 9 months. I used to only have a couple a week, up until a few weeks ago when I started rehearsing for this show I’m in..I now have about 2-6 a day. Not terrible, but I can already feel it affecting my breathing when I dance [I have asthma, too =/ ], and it surely isn’t helping my singing voice.
I’m not exactly aiming to quit [because I’ll admit it, I really enjoy smoking a good cigarette] but I want to get to the point where I only smoke a few times a week. [Especially since I’ll soon be auditioning for the role of Johanna in Sweeney Todd – I need my voice to be in tiptop shape! :) ]
I’m hoping the fact that my friend is trying to cut back with me will help…



no way 13 months ago

no way for me to give up smoking. I even bought a set of niquitine patches and didn’t help. When I was wearing them, I didn’t needed to smoke but I realized that I looveee smoking. that’s it.
