Well, there is something called the E-cigarette or electronic cigarette that is being mass produced in China like crazy, supposedly it is 99% safer than smoking because you are inhaling nicotine vapours only. Try a google search do a bit of research and let me know what you guys think of it, it could be a brilliant product or pure manure, I myself have never seen anyone use it or even talk about it but the idea is very sensible.

Hi,
The time is around 11---12 in the morning. I am standing outside the car showroom. I want to smoke a cigarette. I have the cigarette in my hands, but I don't have a lighter or a book of matches to light the smoke. I look around and ask the other guys---no help. Then I hit 'JACKPOT'----right in the middle of the drive way---on the floor---lies a burning cigarette butt----I pick it up and light my cigarette-----.
After twenty mintues, my supervisor calls me to his office----he asks me " --- is it that bad"---and I say say ' what do you mean '---he says I saw you pick up a cigarrette bud from the floor and smoke it---are you in that bad of a shape-----". I tried to explain-----but when I walked out of his office and saw my reflection in the mirror outside in the hallway----I saw a man dressed in a $400 suite---$250 bally shoes---a $90 Talbot studio tie---a $75 Nordstrom shirt---$100 cuff links---Then I visualized that man bending over and picking up a cigarrete bud from the floor and smoking it-----I realized at that moment that what a shameful and pathetic image I presented of myself to a casual viewer---- the self analysis and personal humiliation of the image that I portrayed at the place of my employment was enough for me to take action.
I quit cold turkey-----the year was 1992. Since then I have not touched a cigarrette again----but I tell you---it still is a battle every day right to this day and right at this moment----I can feel the smoke hitting the back of my throat----I can feel the high coming. The urge never dies----it never goes away----it is a battle----but the nice thing in the U S is that nobody offeres you a cigarette to smoke like back home in pakistan.

Any chap who wants to quit smoking would be alarmed @ seeing this thread. To all, I smoke, But then i Let that it doesnt control me. I control it. I used to drink. But I stopped after something happened to my kith/kin and I have never had the urge. I go to my home town every 7 days or 15 days. I dont smoke there. It nver gives me the shakes or anything like that.. If i dont have a cigarette or match box, I just let it go. I tried drugs once in a GOa beach and thats about it.
The beautiful thing in life, you are in control of most addictions. unless you let it go out of your control.. Happy quitting

I smoked for about 4 years. After 3 years I decided to quit because of getting Bronchitis twice (once a year after my initial year of starting). After 4 months of not smoking, I began smoking again. But one day when I woke up I coughed up some phlegm and I saw it was streaked with a bit of blood. This got me so scared that I grabbed all my fags and threw them in the trash, I was convinced that I had lung cancer. Thankfully, I don't think I have lung cancer but the fear of death and crippling disease was enough for me to quit cold turkey. I don't even have the cravings or withdrawals, and I was a heavy smoker, because the fear of death is enough for anyone to reassess what is important in life. I did not want to end up in a hospital bed with tubes going down my throat, nor do I want to put my family and friends through hell all for basically nothing.
If you browse through the internet, you will see stories of sometimes very young people in their 20's dying of lung cancer and other cancers associated with smoking or chewing tobacco. Sometimes these people have never smoked before and are completely innocent, yet are in their last days of life. This goes to show you how dangerous smoking can be for you. This fear of death will be the best way for someone to avoid smoking. I had to wait till I saw blood in my spit, hopefully you won't need to see that and quit right away or never pick one up.
It is a suicidal habit quite frankly and cigarette companies should have war declared on them for making a profit out of people's sufferings.

Ya exactly... all the gandi bachiyan want to be involved in relationships anyway. Why cant a shy simple and studious nerd-type si larki be involved in a relationship? Why?
In my case the girls taught me all the bad habits... mai toh sirf thora sa pyar sey baat karta tha aur in larkiyon ney mujhey pata nahi kis kisim ki harkatein sikha deen...
Hamesha masla khara larkian hi karti hain...
