My father died from lung cancer 6 years ago. I watched a 6 foot tall big man widdle down to skin and bones and laying on his back. Still doesn't change the way the cigarettes have a hold over me.

I understand. My mother is smoking right now.

I've seen people die in car crashes, doesn't stop me from driving a car.

Cool.

Cool.

Just saying that people take super risky decisions everyday and think nothing about it.

There's a guy named @Sciency McScienceface 15 minutes away from me. Cool.
Morning, y'all!

I smoke because I like to. I need to quit 1. they cost too much. 2. they are not healthy. I smoke more then 2 packs a day. Sitting on the computer does not help that matter. I've tried cold turkey and patches. I have even tried the e-cigs. Nothing is helping. I find myself craving them more and more when I use the ecig. I guess its the feel of the smoke going down my throat that I miss. I can't get that from the e-cigs. So I still smoke and still pay the shitty prices on them.

I am going to throw my 2c in on this because I was exactly like you, I enjoyed smoking. I smoked 2 packs a day of newport for 15 years and I never tried to quit. One day i decided to try a vaporizer and havn't had a cig since. The main reasons that I stayed with it are, saving money and I don't stink to other people, but it has made a difference health wise so that is a plus. I have gotten a bunch of friends and family to make the switch. You should give it a shot.

Everyone has their own way to motivate themselves - or not.

When I worked with the guys (substance abuse), they used to sort of puff up (all mens group in a prison - ) with statements like: You can't quit for a woman, You can't quit for anyone but yourself.

Which is true, I suppose. But some guys DID quit because of their wives or kids or mothers. Everyone finds their own road.

(I'm not saying this because you both don't already know this - just sort of adding my experience with motivation and addiction .

when you try and accept a hit it will say something like "This requester has chosen to prevent you from working on their hits." and you can't accept the hits

Sometimes you will receive an email from Amazon telling you that you were blocked, but not always. And yes, it's from all of their HITs.
