    It is quite a supremely ****** habit really, and I'm just waiting for the day that I actually want to give up. But, I can't ever see myself fighting again so it's not too much concern but I'll just have to make sure I'm done with it before anything health problems pop up.
    Serious serious question and no, I'm not joking. Do those anti-smoke commercials make you go for a smoke?

      Well, put it this way... I ignore the message deliberately because I don't want to think about having lung cancer and all that **** (not that I think it will ever happen to me, you know?.....), and then I have 'cigarettes/smoking' on the brain from ignoring it so it's highly probable that they do. I don't really watch TV at all though so I don't see them much...

      To give an exact answer though, I have never really noticed if they have or not, so I can't answer properly but I would still think they do. You know, they're like alcohol ads for young guys to stay off the booze and binge drinking. They don't work, and they're basically a promotion to say "Hey, lots and lots of kids drink, so we want to stop it" which then gets them thinking about going out and getting hammered and smashing **** and beating people up... You know?

      I say that because where I live there is a massive campaign going on about street violence and booze because the street violence, gangs of little ****s all pissed etc etc is so rampant here that there are commercials and all sorts of stuff about it everywhere, all the time. On TV, headlining the newspaper each week etc etc. So yeah, I would say so.

      Edit: Hey man, I just noticed that it says you joined in April this year only? What the deal with that? You've been here way longer than that.

          I have a Mexican neighbor who tells me, they make him want to go for a smoke. Asked because I wanted to know if that was rare. It's doesn't surprise me either, I honestly don't believe it works.

              Nah man, they don't work. Seriously, unless you truly want to give up, and no commercial is going to make you want too, that type of **** hardly even registers.

              When I see people trying every type of thing to give up possible I just know that they don't truly want to give up, they just think they should. The first time I gave up it was so easy because I really, really wanted to. It wasn't like I thought "Ahh man, I should give up. ****** habit", you know?

                Never smoked before, never been tempted to try neither. My neighbor though, smokes ALL THE TIME, he can't stop. We hang out and every 20-30 mins, he wants to start smoking.



                Your going for your 3K post.

                  Smoking Ciggs causes a Vitamin A Deficiency and it just so happens that vitamin A is one of the main vitamins used in repairing your lungs. For any one out there that smokes i really recommend taking a multi vitamin or some kind of vitamin a supplement.
