what will happen to your body after you quit smoking? im seriously considering stopping, cause im at damn near a pack a day now, and its getting expensive. my job pays OK but not enough to be dishing out about 50 bucks a month...

will your body return to the state it was in before you started smoking?

I doubt it will be 100% the same before you started smoking. Once lung cells dies, they are gone for good. But you body will begin to detox itself. In time, you'll start feeling your body getting better and your risks of health problems will drop. The first thing you're going to experience is withdrawals.

I wish I had some of what you're smoking, maybe then my imagination could keep up with yours.

From what I heard, your body repairs itself. Your lungs slowly heal and as you start to spend time not smoking your body rejects the smoke around you, at least that's what's happening to me. I quit a long while back and just the smell of the ciggerettes gives me a migraine. I don't even want to know what it would feel like smoking again. Ugh that shit is nasty. Any way that's about all I know, I hope it helps \:\)

I don't know why you bother. I don't believe half the shit this guy spouts, especially in this thread, it just reeks of lies.

Yes I'm in an irritable mood today, but the sheer amount of misinformation (some of which is completely ridiculous) this guy splashes around on a forum where many young, naive and desperate people come for answers infuriates me.

what the hell is your problem? is this how you treat people asking for help/advice?

ive been smoking since i was 13 years old! ive been damn near supporting myself since i was 15, i've seen and done alot of terrible things, GOD FORGIVE ME IF I FEEL LIKE HAVING A CIGARETTE!!!

and you claim i "spout lies" refer me to a post in which we did not settle the conflict of what i had originally posted. if im told im wroung, i expect at least a reason so i can see for myself why it is that im wroung... and simply put.

if you dont anything to fucking contribute, go jump off a bridge, go slit your wrists, do whatever you fucking feel like, but dont you dare come insult my intelligence because your in a fucking irratible mood, WALK 2 BLOCKS IN MY SHOES, THEN TALK YOUR SHIT!

and leave pete alone, he will talk to whoever he wants, and actually GIVE ADVICE, where as ignorant people like yourself, just portray other ignorant people, therefore creating a never ending circle of awry comments and conspicuous posts...

dont even respond to me, i dont want to hear your shit, next time dont hit Reply.

Gee. Here's a tough one.

Ignoring the major health problems.

Cigarettes cost money.

You're supporting yourself.

You can quit at the drop of a hat.

Should you quit?

Very tough one.

i understand that cigarettes cost money, i understand there unhealthy, but when ive been lower than the core of the earth they've helped me, or at least mentally tricked me into thinking they have... forgive me if i haven't WANTED to quit...

after smoking a cigarette and calming down, i apologize for my flaming post, i dont wish death on you, i dont want you to slit your wrist or anything similar, although it might be entertaining, i dont WANT you to... but the sarcasm and rudeness isnt helpful...

What irritates me is that you constantly talk about things you know nothing about. I would ignore your posts and not reply if it wasn't for the fact that the one you're advising is the one that's going to suffer.

A recent example was your post on how to gain weight. You said you should hold your shit in as long as possible. What? Why? Not only is that bad advice, it's down right dangerous advice. What if some skinny 12 year old kid desperate to gain weight read that?

how would holding in your shit be dangerous? you do it so you can absorb MORE of the nutrients/calories of the food...

either way, u cant keep your shit in forever, it eventually will force its way out... longest i could hold it in was juss a few hours...

Uh oh, I smell wrong information...

Do you know what feces is? It's waste. You can't absorb waste, that's why it comes out. So, how does holding it in help absorb something that's not there?

And it's dangerous because it causes intenstinal problems. Hello, bacteria?

you should have your nose checked virtual tisk tisk...

i said How would .... i was asking a question, not claiming as fact...

i dont think u can absorb the waste... but i think u can by not letting it out cause the rest of your food to be absorbed more so...

but whatever im prolly wroung... ive juss done it before and gained a couple pounds over the course of a week or two... it prolly is unhealthy. but yea, i dont really know better.

Use to smoke since I was 15, Stopped cause, well, didn't want to die. Plus my lady doesn't like smokers so that was the secondary reason but important as well. And finally, I used to smoke Marlboro ultra lights 100's.

Feces are stored in your rectum, that's what your rectums job is. It stores waste until you're ready to expel it. Your intestines are is where all the nutrients and energy is absorbed. So how will holding waste in your rectum for long period of time aid in gaining weight?

Wrong. You don't even read your own posts? What a shame. Here, read what you said...

You're claiming that as fact. Please, you're in no position to do that.

What food??? There's no food after waste is formed. Don't you get that? It's simple logic. The nutrients have already been absorbed into your body. Now, it's releasing what's left over because it CAN'T be absorbed.

You're just begging for a bowel obstruction.

food as in the food, thats eaten afterwards, and no where did i say that its fact, i was just talking... you've said that its unhealthy and doesnt work... i gained weight doing that, maybe there was an unseen factor... i think its safe to assume that your right on it being unhealthy.

Stop trying to act like you don't know what you're doing.

This is NOT the first time you've been called out on your bullshit. You think you know just about everything, when you know next to nothing about the things you post.

And if you can quit forever, why don't you prove to yourself that you can? Stop bullshitting around and quit already, if it's so easy.

And in the name of everything that's good, stop talking about all the "shit" you've been through. Nobody cares, and chances are pretty good it's all made up anyway.
