I really almost expected it to say "Please repost this to 5 of your friends, or you will die of cancer in 1 year from now" or something.

Good job though, smoking cigs is probably one the stupidest choices you could possibly make.

I also have friends who have tried to stop several times now but they always eventually start back up again. Hearing stories about people that do manage to stay off them is heartwarming! Congrats!

+ Show Spoiler +
Also, I don't know much about these, but for those people who are still smoking and want to stop, have you heard of these?

I don't know if they're any good, but the idea sounds interesting and the fact that you can slowly wean yourself off of nicotine might help you quit. Good luck! (not endorsing these, just heard about them)

Here's a story about how my dad stopped smoking which always cracks me up: One day after he just bought a new pack he was going about his business going somewhere on his bike when he noticed the pack he just bought was missing. So after looking around he knew it was gone and simply didn't feel like buying another pack, that's it. That's how he stopped smoking, he was too damn cheap to buy a new pack.

Some people just have it easy lol.

Anyway about the jokingly referring to cancer sticks is the standard way of humans dealing with very serious consequences that are still far away.

This works according to the following mechanisms, which you can use to your advantage. You can use this principle for pretty much any behavior you want to change.

Serious symptoms (fearful) ------> Easy to imagine ------> Positive framing: More change

This means that referring to cancer sticks is not effective in the first place, which is why it is easy for you to joke about it. Much more effective is saying 'If I stop smoking I will feel better'.

Trivial symptoms (not fearful) --------> Easy to imagine -------> Negative framing: More change

Here the opposite is true: Non fearful symptoms which are easy to imagine due to your own health-related behavior are more effective at changing behavior when negatively framed.

The more you know!

Congrats!

I always hated cigarettes, but because of smoking my grandfather can never speak again. It's obviously better that he didn't die...

But I miss talking to him, and I always feel bad when he tries to talk but I can't understand him... ;-;

the trick is to never start, or try smoking when you are 6 which results in coughing your lungs up.(what i did and i dont want to touch smoking ever.)

ive been smoking for about 6 years now since 15/16 ish and I swear I wasn't addicted until the last two years or so when I was in China. Before then I could smoke a pack a day then quit for 2 months without feeling anything. Now I can't go a day without one. I do wanna quit because the negative effects are very obvious. But well, it's hard.

I think you should read that paragraph again. But this time take a deep breathe and read it veeery slowly and calmly!

Well this sentence is completely wrong.

Cocaine and Heroine are many times more addictive... but good on you for quitting.

I don't know about heroin, but nicotine is definitely more addictive than cocaine.

Nicotine is one of the most physically addictive drugs. If memory of high school health class serves me correctly it's behind only speed in terms of pure physical addictiveness. How you can even quantify the level of physical addition is unknown to me. I'd assume some sort of rat study.

Congratulations on quitting, double congratulations on convincing your coworkers to quit, and also hooray for people who never started smoking in the first place!

I dunno, you can get addicted to meth after just one try - and i've definately tried more then one cigarrette and i'm not addicted. different people have different tolerances i spose.

Read this thread.

The Melanoma is not related to smoking at all, it just made me realize that no matter what age you are you can have serious health problems.
