Anyone else trying to quit smoking in 2013?

I'm just waiting for the outcry when they try this:

We have stuff like that here.

Holy cow Simo! Those images, especially the guy dead on the bed from lung cancer, are frightening!

 

[elgecko]

Trippy, you guys get 25 cigarettes per pack down under. We get 20.

 

[96tbird]

25 here in Canuck too.

Random fact: A pack of Marlboro's costs 18 cents each to manufacture.

He's affectionately known on Facebook as "Old Mate Brian" I'm led to believe.

Yeah, some of them are a little on the gruesome side. For the most part it seems to just desensitise people though I find. I know people who still smoke and collect all the different pictures.

Also, you can now buy cigarette pack stickers with customised prints to cover up the packaging. Apparently this is supposed to be a indication that plain packaging is working, but I'm not really convinced

Hah, weird.

Our cans are also 375ml, wheras a lot of other countries are closer to 330, not sure what they are in the States. Apparently it's because of the warmer climate.. not sure how that works with smokes though

Here's one where you can see the actual cigarette itself with just the little number printed on it. Creepy...

Our cans are 12 oz (354.882 ml).

1 fl. Oz. is approx. 30ml.

You can also get 16 Oz containers in the US (approx 480ml)

Five days.

 

[elgecko]

w00t!

 

[David Jayne]

Five days.

Feels good, yeah? Wait till you're at work, or anywhere where you can't smoke. It's awesome.

 

[ErebusBass]

I only work a couple days a week because I go to school and stuff. Tomorrow is the first day I have work since I stopped, it'll be interesting.

And yeah, it feels awesome. I can't wait to cough this **** out of my lungs.

 

[tastybasslines]

No idea who you are in real life, but I'm very proud of your virtual self. Life is a real gift!

 

[murphy]

Yup. Congratulations
Still hanging in there myself....almost 8 weeks

I keep waking up at 5 or 6 AM without an alarm and its really annoying. I'm hoping that goes away soon.

There was fear mongering earlier about vaping. This might interest you. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Funny how some would use Nicorette inhalers and patches that contain the same carcinogens as vape. Cheap help to quit is there for the taking.

TL;DR-" Only one sample contained the chemical used in anti-freeze. That was likely a result of a manufacturing defect, as it is an ingredient used in producing plastic. It has not been found in any tests since"

Every time someone starts talking about Vaping, that report comes up. There was NO antifreeze in ecigs!!

 

[David Jayne]

We don't care. We're quitting nicotine, not interested in prolonging the agony.
