I smoke one a day with my glass of wine.  I quit for 5 years then wanted to have a cigarette when I had some drinks.  I never smoke without my glass of wine and sometimes go days or even weeks without.  I figured I inhale more smoke in my backyard fire than the cigarettes add up to.  I also smoke organic additive free tobacco which they save isn't a safer cigarette but I think it's better than the cigs with 300 additives.   BUT I still worry about getting lung cancer, I obviously have anxiety issues.

I would say you are addicted especially if you stay awake to go secretly smoke. I was your way when I was 17, my dad hated smoking. It increasing went up when I went to college because I had freedom to do it whenever I wanted. And now at 29, I am struggling to quit. I wish I could go back to my 17 year old self and slap the cigarette right out of my mouth but since I can't I have to deal with it and it is hard. I wish I had done it a long time ago but I got my scare last Monday when I went to the doctor and had bronchitis. He told me if I didn't give up smoking that I could get COPD and the way I felt at that moment would be how I was feel everyday for the rest of my life. It was the first time I really wanted to quit and it has been a struggle and I will almost wonder if I had just gave it up when I had just started would it have been easier.

i had stopped Smoking for 2 months, then suddenly when i was in a pub there were a lot of smokers after seeing them i came out of there, but when i was standing outside a Retard Moron came beside me and started smoking and when the smoke which he exhaled touch my nose(i became a sniffer and went to a nearby Shop to buy a cigerratte but it was closed and i begged for a cigerrete with one of the morons smoking and started to smoke regularly. Recently when i went to nearby hospital to see my friend who met with an accident, just beside his room i saw a Cancer Research Hall where i saw a Black Rubber like thing kept in the Glass Jar. I asked the Doctor who was there in the room, "What the Hell is that" 0o he said its the Heart of a smoker. after seeing that whenever i try to smoke i get Vommit and i throw it away now i am lighting a Cigerrette but not inhaling or smelling Just watching to to Burn. it makes me feel happy. Now i found a E Ciggerette which was bought by one of friend and it is free all the Cancer Causing Chemicals, Tar, Tobacco, Smell, Burn, Smoke and Nicotine Free. Try this its effective.

You know, I have been wondering the same thing and I smoke one a day as well.  I get tired of people saying "it will only lead to more..." blah blah blah....I am sure that is the case with many other people, but I have never had problems with addictions or over-indulging.  I am very good at enjoying things in moderation (food, alcohol, cigarettes), but I understand others have that genetic propensity towards addiction which makes this difficult.  I have one cigarette a day at the end of the day and have NO DESIRE AT ALL to have more.  Am I really being that unrealistic?

How is smoking homosexual?  Grow up or don't comment, we don't need to be subjected to your immature attitude.

Here's how you stop - don't have a cigarette.  When you want one, don't have one.  The cravings only really last for a few minutes.  After  a few days they're not so bad.  Nicotine will be out of your body in 2 or  3 weeks.  After that its all psycological.  You might as well stop now.  Every day you smoke - it gets harder to quit.  I'm 36 and recently quit.  I can't believe I smoked until I was 36.  So stupid.  I remember smoking cigarettes in the boys room in high school....believe me it goes quick.  

So there's only 2 options really - 1 is you smoke and dont' ever quit you literally smoke until you die - which will then happen much sooner b/c you smoke (not to mention you will probably live for years in misery with serious health issues from smoking which is almost worse then dieing) and #2 - you stop smoking.  If you stop smoking the question is when?  When you are 25, 30, 40, 50?  Who knows when it is too late.  And what is the point really?  Is it actually 'enjoyable' - no, it just gives you the nicotine you need b/c you started smoking and injected nicotine into your body.  

Once I finally realized this it has been easy to quit, actually enjoyable.  I'm not a slave to cigarettes anymore.  If you keep a good attitude it will be easy for you to quit too.  Be happy and excited you quit and feel bad for those people who didn't yet.  Nicotine is a drug just like any other drug - when you think about it its really unnatural and unnecessary.

I agree, my one ciggi a day led back to my 1 packet a day over aperiod of a year, I wish the one a day could have been. but 14 days  and I havnt had a puff. I want one every time I socialize because that was my  trigger.
I lost all my upper teeth due to gum disease associated with smoking. every day I struggle with eating  with plastic on the roof of my mouth.
I guess people forget about oral cancer and how ugly you look on the outside with out teeth and half your jaw bone missing. 1 day is certianly as dangerous as a pack a day. you are just not getting as mush tar so quickly but you rblood is till clotting and rotting your gums.

I think smoking one a day is harmful. That's 31 a month. Or 365 a year. It's harmful no matter how much you smoke.

Im 17 years old, and I'm getting addicted to smoking. I really want to quit, because as you guys have said it will only cause many sickness worse is death, I can't seem to control it because you know my friends are smokers and they love to drink and then smoke a lot. So it's on my community and it happened that I was also influenced. So how do I stop it?
