Yes I know the one was a inhaler just playing about taking a drag off of it but the was the rip off

Dream, a new healthy smoke came out and was all the rave, But when I watched the people smoking it a snake of smoke came out when they exhaled. Frantically I ran around trying to tell people the smoke was bad but no one would listen. After a couple of weeks the media started reporting people missing by the thousands, and the rest was me running from the aligns that where harvesting us for slave labor, using the smoke as a mind control. woke up sweating and tired. i think this was from our discussion on the rip off of Jill's AC yesterday and that I was wearing a new CPAP Mask and Machine

Yes it is that is why you need to keep track of which one you had up your nose, unless your into bogger/mint flavor!

I vote for a trigger of past memory's that your addiction has romanticized and planted in your sub-couscous to catch you off guard at a time when you don't expect it. Basically a time bomb in your cybernetic net work ! Yes I listen to Alex Jones ! It is a Nicosperisy Theory of mine

Take a drag off of one of these babies instead of sniffing it in the nose, Guaranteed you'll have fresh breath and the desire to puff on anything will go away.

My new thing is those Mexican chili suckers with the Lock Jaw sour stuff inside, not sugar free but a killer flavor rush.

They robbed you Jill ! They call it the Harmless Oxygen cigarette ? have you seen it ?

still all over the sugar free butterscotch !

This is where you long timers can really help with what you have substituted for a smoke in trigger situations. IE: Jill's smoke free invisible fake none nicotine OK OK I forgot the Name but you all get my drift. Such as That cold foggy morning sitting on the Refuge porch drinking a hot cup of coffee and puffing on my pipe or a cigar, I kinda substituted toast bread to crew on, did it work yes for that one time looking more towards a cinnamon bread stick next time or a jerky stick cheese sticks work well. Driving I have substituted the Vitamin water for a beer and been cold turkey with the smoke was doing sunflower seed but my tongue kept swelling up from the salt. So what have you long timers come up with as substitute and what was the trigger situation ?

we got to give John a Pass, it was the first time we had met, we had over lapping Game warden days and he came a day early to get away. he was unaware of my quit and heart issue at the time. I had mentioned about Me hankering for a stogie on cold foggy mornings like it was and he tried to accommodate me. Yes it did challenge the bejeaves out of me, first time in months I had even laid eyes on a cigar let alone hold one.

was doing fine and then out of nowhere John Hands me a pack of cigars YIKES! My mind starts to Jump back into smoking mode, I had earlier put away a trigger of being on the pourch the smell of fresh rained on dry dirt man that and hot asphalt just rained on smell great. but there I am with a picture of me taking a deep drag off of a sweet Blue berry cigar.! WOOOOO John Thank you but no thank you comes out all squeaky and loud I quit and I had a a heart attack ! but you don't inhale them its not like smoking he said. that's all right no thank. so close I came almost validated not inhaling this was a test of will and devotion to myself. last place I can think of that would have strong triggers for me, at least that I can think of Hey Guys we all have those moments the only thing that save me was when those cigars hit my hand and my eye fixed on them I remember terror shooting thru me shear terror. It was like when you were out with some friends had a beer or two, you know your ot drunk and then the flashing lights go off! that moment when your heart stops or skips a beat before you can think it was that kind of terror.

Yes I know Its Monday for all you Poor unfortunate souls But for me it is my Friday with the days Off to follow ! This last couple days have been a cluster Fudge, really had me on the edge but 3 day out at the refuge keeping the bad guys at bay, sighting in my 06 and popping off some 9mm will have me right as rain. so for the next 3 days you all have a great time and enjoy all you can while you can, You smell that ? No serious that a deep breath, do you smell that ? FREEDOM ! free from Nicotine, free from work free from the daily grind god it is good to be free ! Ok I may be a little stressed !

can you believe these felines

Could be they were strong coffee

I spent some time Pondering this and what I came up was this: Most of the Die hard Ill smoke until they pull the cigarette from my cold dead fingers are dead. The others like my self have run their bodies into the ground and are now paying for it and for the youngers its just a stinky nasty thing that dirty old people did and are out vaping Fruit loops. Now if I were to Think more o it All the BS laws and the stigma applied to smoking in California have succeeded in pressuring and deterring people from smoking or into quitting smoking as a way to blend in. So all this leaves me to believe that in the very near future California will be the first state to illegalize smoking and become the first none smoking state of the union. now thats all I can stands cause I can't stands no more

Thank you I still have the anxiety and competition reward craves. Not so bad but still there.

You gave me the Chills Ace

Linda: Your at the healing stage this is where the benefit of quitting really kicks in, Hereis the link to the above it has links to the Surgeon Generals info, super stuff to read "Don't have that much time left Opah? K, Como? Hey Girl i Smoked since I was 15 or so, just turned 62 had a heart attack and finally made up my mind to get smart. There is always time !

Here you go Linda a little time table of your bodies healing abilities. The body's ability to mend is beauty to behold! After ending all nicotine and tobacco use, within ... 20 minutes Your blood pressure, pulse rate and the temperature of your hands and feet have returned to normal. 8 hours Remaining nicotine in your bloodstream has fallen to 6.25% of normal peak daily levels, a 93.75% reduction. 12 hours Your blood oxygen level has increased to normal. Carbon monoxide levels have dropped to normal. 24 hours Anxieties have peaked in intensity and within two weeks should return to near pre-cessation levels. 48 hours Damaged nerve endings have started to regrow and your sense of smell and taste are beginning to return to normal. Cessation anger and irritability have peaked. 72 hours Your entire body will test 100% nicotine-free. Over 90% of all nicotine metabolites (the chemicals nicotine breaks down into) have passed from your body via your urine. Symptoms of chemical withdrawal have peaked in intensity, including restlessness. Unless use cues have been avoided, the number of cue induced crave episodes experienced during any quitting day have peaked for the "average" ex-user. Lung bronchial tubes leading to air sacs (alveoli) are beginning to relax in recovering smokers. Breathing is becoming easier and your lung's functional abilities are improving. 5 - 8 days The "average" ex-smoker is down to experiencing just three cue induced crave episodes per day. Although we may not be "average" and although minutes may feel like hours when normal cessation time distortion combines with the body's panic response, it is unlikely that any single episode will last longer than 3 minutes. Keep a clock handy and time the episode to maintain an honest perspective on time. 10 days The "average" ex-user is down to encountering less than two crave episodes per day. 10 days to 2 weeks Recovery has likely progressed to the point where your addiction is no longer doing the talking. Blood circulation in your gums and teeth are now similar to that of a non-user. 2 to 4 weeks Cessation related anger, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, impatience, insomnia, restlessness and depression have ended. If still experiencing any of these symptoms get seen and evaluated by your physician. 2 weeks to 3 months Your heart attack risk has started to drop. Your lung function has noticeably improved. If your health permits, sample your circulation and lung improvement by walking briskly, climbing stairs or running further or faster than normal. 21 days The number of acetylcholine receptors, which were up-regulated in response to nicotine's presence in the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, basal ganglia, thalamus, brain stem and cerebellum regions of your brain have now substantially down-regulated. Receptor binding has returned to levels seen in the brains of non-smokers (2007 study). 3 weeks to 3 months Your circulation has substantially improved. Walking has become easier. Your chronic cough, if any, has likely disappeared. If not, get seen by a doctor, and sooner if at all concerned, as a chronic cough can be a sign of lung cancer. 4 weeks Plasma suPAR is a stable inflammatory biomarker that helps predict development of diseases ranging from diabetes to cancer in smokers. A 2016 study found that within 4 weeks of quitting smoking, with or without NRT, that suPAR levels in 48 former smokers had fallen from a baseline smoking median of 3.2 ng/ml to levels "no longer significantly different from the never smokers' values" (1.9 ng/ml) 8 weeks Insulin resistance in smokers has normalized despite average weight gain of 2.7 kg (2010 SGR, page 384). 1 to 9 months Any smoking related sinus congestion, fatigue or shortness of breath has decreased. Cilia have regrown in your trachea (windpipe) thereby increasing the ability to sweep dirt and mucus out of your lungs. Your body's overall energy has increased. 11 months Smoking decreases the thickness of the brain's outer layer, the cortex. Smoking induced cortical thinning is associated with poor decision making, risk taking, a lack of impluse control, early dementia, and nearly 14% of Alzheimer’s cases worldwide. According to a 2015 study, it takes 0.9 years (10.8 months) without smoking to recover from the cortical thinning effect of each pack-year of smoking. Congratulations, your cortex is growing thicker and the quality of your thoughts, decisions and actions has improved. 1 year Your excess risk of coronary heart disease, heart attack and stroke has dropped to less than half that of a smoker. 5 years Your risk of a subarachnoid hemorrhage has declined to 59% of your risk while still smoking (2012 study). If a female ex-smoker, your risk of developing diabetes is now that of a non-smoker (2001 study). 5 to 15 years Your risk of stroke has declined to that of a non-smoker. 10 years Your risk of being diagnosed with lung cancer is between 30% to 50% of that for a continuing smoker (2005 study). Risk of death from lung cancer has declined by almost half if you were an average smoker (one pack per day). Risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus and pancreas have declined. Risk of developing diabetes for both men and women is now similar to that of a never-smoker (2001 study). 12.5 years Fifty percent of the lost thickness of the brain's outer layer -- the cortex -- has been restored in a 30 pack-year ex-smoker (2015 study). 13 years The average smoker lucky enough to live to age 75 has 5.8 fewer teeth than a non-smoker (1998 study). But by year 13 after quitting, your risk of smoking induced tooth loss has declined to that of a never-smoker (2006 study). 15 years While smokers and ex-smokers have more visceral fat, a larger ratio of visceral to subcutaneous adipose tissue and a higher incidence of elevated plasma triglyceride levels, hyperglycaemia and the metabolic syndrome than nonsmokers, according to a 2011 study, after 15 years the ex-smoker's fat ratios and risks are comparable to those of a never-smoker. 15 years Your risk of coronary heart disease is now that of a person who has never smoked. Your risk of pancreatic cancer has declined to that of a never-smoker (2011 study - but note a 2nd pancreatic study making an identical finding at 20 years). 20 years If a female, your excess risk of death from all smoking related causes, including lung disease and cancer, has now reduced to that of a never-smoker (2008 study). Risk of pancreatic cancer has also declined to that of a never-smoker (2011 study). 25 years Congratulations, if a 30 pack-year ex-smoker, the thickness of your brain's cortex has been fully restored to that of a never-smoker (2015 study). Multiply the number of pack-years you smoked by 0.9 to determine the number of years it will take to fully restore your cortex. So long as we stop our self-destruction in time!

it is so good when you finally STOP COUGHING UP THAT CRAP !

I followed a truck 10 exits passed my exit because I could smell them smoking

Got it
