Every time I open a thread started by Lewie (which is pretty much every day😄) there you are, complaining.

Why?

Moaners gonna moan. Still, better he whines here about nothing than goes home to beat his wife. Honestly, I say let him carry on, his wife’s probably grateful for the break.

Frankly, I find the complaints almost as entertaining as the original story!

They are only laughing because it smells bad, they don't like it, and you are making them feel uncomfortable. 

Pardon?I pay for a smoking room and if the maid don't like it she could refuse to clean my room but that wouldn't work good for her.

Up to me, every time I see you you are crying about Trump 🥲

That's demonstrably not true as shown in the post you just replied to.

So tell us, why are you continuously replying to the OP when you don't like his posts?

They are everywhere in Japan. Even in 7-Eleven and Family Mart over there. 

Colour me impressed.

 

My local airport is swampy though.

Why do I reply to yours when I like them even less, up to me 😆

probably an ex smoker, they are the worst

I think he is still an active smoker... a smoker of penis.

Who the fekk’s still usin’ them smokin’ rooms in airports and other public spots, eh? You know the ones I mean. Little glass torture chambers shoved in the far corner like they’re tryin’ to hide the shame. Ten square feet of misery, visibility down to knee height, and every poor sod inside lookin’ like they’ve been sentenced for crimes against fresh air.

 

I get it, yeah lads. Nicotine cravings sneak up on ya like a dodgy ex. But mate, how desperate do you have to be to lock yourself in a Perspex coffin with a dozen other wheezin’ zombies, all puffin’ away like it’s last orders on the Titanic? There’s more oxygen on Mars than in them booths. It ain’t smokin’ at that point, it’s organised suffocation.

 

And have you clocked their faces? Not a smile in sight. No joy, no relief, just dead-eyed stares like they’ve already written their obituaries. Like, “Yep, this is how I go. Surrounded by strangers and Marlboro fog.” You’d get more pleasure lickin’ the inside of a bin.

 

At that point, it ain’t even a ciggie break. It’s a cry for help with a lighter. Might as well shrink-wrap your head and climb into a tumble dryer.

Find something more productive to do in your free time. You sound angry and miserable.

If someone is angry and miserable then writing about it could be therapeutic. Do note that I wrote "could", as for some posters (who shall remain unnamed) it clearly doesn't work.😄

Go on then, tell us. You know you are dying to.

 

I am one month today off the cigs. Still finding it difficult, particularly when I have a beer (if anyone suggests packing in the beer then aswell I WILL hunt you down and have your nads on the end of a stick).

 

I am pretty determined though this time. Don't want to vape or anything so (a bit strange) I have been having the occasional chuff on half a plastic straw with a bit of tissue paper stuck in the end to offer some 'resistance'. Seems to be working for me.

 

What's the easy way then?

There isn't really an easy way. You're doing it right if you've gone a month already. Distraction is the key, when you get the craving do ANYTHING except have a smoke. Your straw trick is a good idea if it takes your mind off it. After a month the craving will start to diminish and you'll start experiencing the benefits, e.g. food will taste and smell better. One thing that encouraged me to keep going was that I could smell it on peoples clothes - YUK! Made me realise I used to smell like that. One day soon you'll realise that you haven't thought about a cig all day, then you'll know you've cracked it and can happily join the rest of us smug non-smokers. I was captain of the smoking team at school when I was 13, smoked all my life until I gave up at age 63. I'm now 81.

I have always hated the smell of ciggies. The smell on my clothes was terrible. After a cig I'd normally wash my hands or use hand gel and also breath spray. Amazed I ever smoked but used to knock back 5 Rothmans after school at 11 years old! Heavy cannabis smoker as well from late teens for a couple of decades. 

 

I'm 57 now and want to make old bones so really want to knock it on the head once and for all. One thing I have noticed during the last month is when I've had a few beers in the evening, I feel much better next morning than I did when I had the same amount of beers accompanied by 15 cigs. That has certainly given me even more of an incentive to quit for good.

 

Thanks for the input 👍

Next you'll be telling me sipping a coffee is equivalent to injecting heroin. Get a grip.

 

And now you've fallen off the deep end and have moved onto comparing coffee to heroin. Sheesh. It's you clearly that needs to get a grip. 

 

OK teetotaller...       have a Heineken Zero or a soda water and chill...
