  1. I just asked google(lazy me)!
  2. This was a good question, a healthy debate. We have different views with the same goal, quitting. When personal shots come in thats when its not good and no support or educating. There's different model/views for understanding addiction. Old school will tell you just say no and stop it and think people lack willpower. Science will tell you addiction is a disease, and the research is there to support it.
  3. That could be, but if someone is out there reading this and is an addict having a difficult time quitting and making that choice they have options for support. If they want tough love, there's a few they can goto here for that support.
  4. Addiction is the inability to stop. If i didn't watch what my mother and grandfather went through it would've been a lot tougher for me to quit. It may have been that easy for others but i was addicted and it wasn't for me. Seeing the ending motivated my quit.

  8. Yes, Great Delivery there @Boo
  9. Every year i goto see the Falcons play at least 1x, i havnt seen a bar you can smoke in by that area but this news i was like Wow. They have underground bars in NY that allow it but on the DL.
  10. https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/smoking-in-restaurants-airport-may-soon-be-banned-in-atlanta/961799213 Wow, its been over 25 years that you cant smoke in restaurants and bars out here. About time they did this
  11. My first quit i just quit with no plan outside of the words of a good friend who had been quit, he said just get through the first month and you're in the clear. I believed him and that quit was quite easy but blown at 2 1/2 years. I wasn't educated on the addiction and had no plan to face the triggers and craves as i really thought i was done with them. This quit i learned and have that plan to face the triggers/craves head on if they ever come back and i educated myself and i also learn from others stories. Move a muscle, change a thought is golden for me . BTW my friend who gave me that advice back in 2010 has blown his quit as still smoking to day(just get through the month).. FWIW
  12. A plan gets my vote (A plan to fight the craves/triggers)
  13. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/banning-e-cigarettes-not-tobacco-products-ludicrous-some-public-health-n1022176?cid=sm_npd_nn_fb_ma Banning e-cigarettes, not tobacco products, is 'ludicrous,' some public health experts say "It makes it easier to get cigarettes than e-cigarettes," one public health professor said. "It really sends a bad message to other cities and to youth. It basically says we think vaping is worse than smoking." That is a good point. Interesting article
  14. Buy stock in the Co? http://www.ladbible.com/community/weird-a-french-inventor-is-selling-pills-that-make-farts-smell-nice-20190626
  15. According to the US Centers for Disease Control, more than one in five middle and high school teenagers vape. San Francisco's e-cigarette ban is a message to the FDA to fix that problem https://www.wired.com/story/san-franciscos-e-cigarette-ban-aims-fda
  16. @Linda Thomas i used Blu E-cigg , you see it on tv and people using it, they brainwash you. With Blu i was able to "think" i quit.
  17. This goes out to the lady with all the $ today.... (sits next to @jillar)

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
