I picked up a pack of cigarettes 7 months ago, after years of not smoking, and have since then continued my lung abuse. I have been smoking 5-10 ciggies per diem. I enjoy it, smoking, mostly in the morning with my black cup of coffee or just about anytime that anxiety kicks in. I am anxious a lot as of late -by the way. To make a long story short, I want to quit smoking. Want, being the operative word in that last sentence since my weakness to worldly pleasures can at times be insatiable. I am nevertheless going to give it my best starting today, as in now, or perhaps after a post-breakfast cigarette, or after an anxiety attack quick fix. Hmm, maybe I should start tomorrow. No wait! All this smoke is making things hazy. I start now, as in this week, I meant, day...second.
Alright this is obviously going to be a difficult process and I’ll probably become prey to remission here and there but I will conquer this Philip-Morris demon.
Prepare yourself world for super-duper nicotine-less cranky Yusef.
Mmmm cigarettes...
Good luck i guess, I know they're bad for ya, but I say just do whatever the fuck you want, if it helps ease the tension, etc., man I would make a great Attorney General, or maybe even a drug counselor, LOL.
ttyl babe....(blows smoke rings in Yusef's direction) =)
Yusef, Im so glad you're making this attempt to quit smoking. Philp-Morris should be ashamed of themselves for the evil that they have cause to so many families around the world;but of course they dont.Yusef you know im in the health profession and I look at the little young babies that struggle with cancer, those that never had a chance to make a choice to smoke and yet for whatever reason have to endure this dreadful disease. Then I go to the adult ward, and I look at chronic patients, terminally ill..on oxygen, and yet will still attempt to sneak a smoke.I look at my colleagues, medical professionals,those that see first hand the effects of smoking and wonder;This drug is so powerful that, people on a daily basis are willing to spin the wheel of life,and chance what is unenviable and that is the certainty that cancer will seek you out if you continue on this path.( the package itself) states the surgeon general says that this product may cause cancer...That is the euphemism for " do it long enough and you will pay,and pay dearly" This Friday I will attend the funeral of my friends mother,another one of Philip Morris victims- one that would tell you how many years they smoked, and all the people that they knew that smoked and never got cancer, and of course the rebuttle would be..I know a person that never smoked once in life and still died of lung cancer.I remember sitting stunned by this,and all the internal dialogue,and I reflect back to this company, that systematically changed the thought patterns of millions of people,and combining that pattern with nicotine. ...
Yusef, you're very smart I challenge you to visit the cancer ward and see first hand the ugly distruction that this nasty habit has caused and is causing, and try to use that as part of your strength to beat this issue. Im pulling for you,I know you can after all you already have done it once.

I know all this. I was a cancer researcher for two years on the New York Cancer Study. I am also young-dumb and full of (no) -notions of invincibility. But admitting I have a problem is one the first chapters of all those addiction manuals, so there you have it, step one. Now for step two…baby steps of course
Next time I'm in Wichita (laughs) I will definitely have to catch you in the white robe. By the way I received the Christmas card you sent me the other day. It is always nice to open up one’s mail box and find one. I will print something nice for you on my printer and send it out to you P.O. Box so keep and an eye out.
Kalz,
You are so funny. And, how do you plan to play pro-ball while smoking? Even though, your game is tight, all your cousins are pro and you got all the newspapers sweating you and stuff. You know that the scouts don’t really like that sort of shit. Well you have to wing it with one good lung and Hawaiian-butt-cheek break neck speeds.
Me Ke Aloha Pumehana ;0)
I'd get on that fucking field with an Iron lung if i had too.
and I know i'm funny, i'm fucking adorable ain't I? =)
Smoke em if u got em
with all my love right back at ya
Smoking may have its pros and cons, but when it comes to quitting, difficult is normally the best way to describe the process. It may take several tries and some motivation from your friends and family, but if you are committed, it is not impossible. The easiest way to quit though is to never begin. This is the only guaranteed way. To bad for both you and I; I have been a religious smoker since the young age of 17, and damn, "I love it!" As Mark Twain once said, "To quit smoking is one of the easiest things to do, because I have done it a thousand times."
Good luck though, and let me know if you accumulate some pounds, if so I may increase my daily intake.
