Freebase Dali

Start smoking for more than 10 years and get back to me on this.
If cigarettes weren't extremely addictive, we wouldn't have smoking issues, now would we?
I'm not saying it's impossible to quit and stay quit, but if it was as easy to do as it is for you to type what you just typed, then cessation would be a more successful feat than it is.

Jesus! Where's the positivity?

Some of the comments on here have been less than supportive.
I don't think it's up to us to judge someone we only know through a music forum.
If Cheese wants to carry on smoking, that's up to him. It's obviously a bad idea, but I'm not going to give him a hard time over it.

Anyways...any news on the results of the op yet?

eh, you're right i'm sorry.

I've been in one of those moods where i'm either really mean and angry or super happy and crying. I apologize, it's his choice, i was just trying to get him to quit.

Best wishes, I hope that everything is going to be ok.

Ex smokers can really hate smokers, happened to me a few years back. I detested every living person who would light up a cig or stogey, even when they weren't smoking.


I pretty much learned to deal with it. Smokers don't bother me, I just stand upwind of their smoke.


I'm pretty sure all smokers know that smoking causes cancer, so I weighed the risk and decided smoking wasn't right for me. Many smokers weigh the risk and decide they would rather risk it. I don't blame them, there are so many things you can die from. Why not be happy doing what you want while you're here?


So long as you're not hurting others........

I apologize as well too, I shouldn't come off negative. It is his choice, I just think it would be very wise to follow doctor's orders at this point.

I actually didn't mean to imply it was easy, just that the threat of your life should be a good reason to do so.

Are you completely dull?
Don't you understand what an addiction is???

I never said it was easy, but it's not impossible.

Just to clarify, I was addressing smoking in general with Dali. Again, I never said it was easy, but when your personal well being is threatened, I just think it would be smart to follow doctor's orders (to general smokers).

I'm not saying any of this to try and tear you down, I wish you the best in your fight and do hope all works out well for you.

I hate to post pad, but I don't want to continue this because it's taking away from the importance of this thread. My only point was that addiction is beatable, and a threat to your well being is a good reason to try to beat it. I don't mean to say that I'm personally strong enough that I could do it, because like I said off the bat, I'm ignorant to what it's like because I've never smoked. I can't say whether or not I could. My only point is that it's not impossible. I do apologize if I've seemingly stepped on toes, or came off in a way I didn't intend to, but that was my only point. I do realize I was too harsh in the beginning though; I was approaching the situation with the potential grim, meat-hook realities of it all. I also never meant this as a direct message to Cheese, or anyone, about how they should live. But, if you really don't want to smoke and something comes along to threaten your well being because of it, don't view it as an impossible task because it's not.

Now I won't say anything else on the matter.
