Any smokers? Need advice.

Yea the free time thing always bothers me too.

There are people at work that smoke and to them smoke breaks don't count as breaks. From what I have seen these seem to total about an hour a day in the winter and two hours a day in the summer, on top of normal breaks. In fact there is a technician that had quit for years but started up again (and is now back to over a pack a day) simply because he wanted in on the breaks.

Call it 5-10 minutes per cig to get to somewhere and smoke it, which is about 3 hours a day. Imagine everything you could do with 3 hours a day.

Or a pack a day depending on where you live is $1500 or so per year. Ask her if she wants to smoke or spend a week in the Caribbean every year? (I made that argument to someone once when they said they couldn't afford to travel, now they do indeed go a week a year somewhere warm).

Depends on how fast you smoke, i have friends who down one in like 2-3 minutes, depending on my mood when i did smoke cigs anywhere from 3-5 minutes, so x30 = 150 mins at the most.. bit over 2 hours of smoking, w/ my ecig i dont even sit there and puff over and over like a cig requires, hit it once, back in my pocket, 5 mins later pull it out and whack it again

She works for an IT company, from her home, so she can smoke while working. She ordered an e-cig today with a bunch of different flavors. Hopefully that will help. She smokes less at my house because she has to go outside.

Thats a lot of time and money. I see no problem spending money on a vice you enjoy though but even at 2 minutes, that's an hour a day puffing. OMG.

Good luck. You should give us updates from time to time.
 
I think I'll try chantix too.
It's not the money thing. It only cost me $12.00 a carton to smoke. But I've been smoking for 28 years and tried everything. Nothing else worked so I should try again.
Thanks for the thread

People have been smoking since we figured out we could haha, to me its not a "bad" habit, unhealthy w/ tobacco for sure but there are organic herbal cigs of legal herbs (wild dagga, klip dagga, wild lettuce, kratom, etc), that are quite enjoyable, much more so then tobacco. Or she could hookah lol sheesha (blend of tobacco and flavoring) doesn't have nearly as much chems in it as cigs, and gets a relaxing effect. And obviously doesn't interfere w/ your day too much since who is going to carry around a hookah? Lol

She has a hookah. She smokes it with her girlfriends and her sisters when they get together.

She made it through today on 15 cigarettes. She seemed normal and is sleeping now. I think she'll reach her goal.
