General Discussion - 2012

[G]

Has anyone else found that after 5 or so days, you feel like you're physically, emotionally and psychologically beaten to a pulp? I felt like that today. I have come way too far to even consider giving up, but I need to know if this goes away. Is there a way to counter this?

Folks may say tons of water, real cranberry juice, exercise, etc. Some or all may work to some extent, but the truth is that it's going to suck no matter what. Things get a lot better. Just buckle down until they do. It's different for everyone. One day at a time and you'll come out feeling great. Promise.

Smokeless Reduces Smoking in Small Clinical Trial
http://rodutobaccotruth.blogspot.com/20 ... small.html

Thoughts?

Unbelievable 'bang head'

Read through the bull shit and this study shows that replacing nicotine with nicotine helps nicotine addicts continue their nicotine addiction.

“smokers who chose the [Camel] snus product with higher nicotine levels tended to report greater craving and withdrawal relief, more satisfaction, smoking less cigarettes and achieving greater short-term abstinence.”

So the study concludes that Camel nicotine can help your nicotine withdrawals?

Guess what? Eating makes my food withdrawals cease until I get hungry again.

Isn't it amazing that these dumbasses don't understand that it is a drug addiction.

For the past 15 years I have been involved in research and policy development regarding tobacco harm reduction (THR). THR advocates acknowledge that there are millions of smokers who are unable or unwilling to quit with conventional cessation methods involving tobacco and nicotine abstinence, and we encourage them to use cigarette substitutes that are far safer.

I left a comment on that person's blog who I quoted part of his biography above. I wonder if he'll approve my comment.

Was your quote?: "that cig substitute still has 28 known carcinogens - you fucking dumbass!"

Then he probably won't post it...

He says he's a professor of medicine, so I assume that would make him a dcotor? I think we found the one doctor that would say to keep dipping 'Crazy'

My research is supported by unrestricted grants from tobacco manufacturers to the University of Louisville and by the Kentucky Research Challenge Trust Fund.

Well of course it is sweetheart. So that's why this guy claims smokless is "safer" than smoking. What a tool

Is this guy partners with Americannurses Dr. That told her to keep dippin for her health? Dumb asses everywhere!

Not to change the subject (Which is a good one) but i noticed something new in the stores down here in Texas. This is going to make it harder for people to quit. One of the reasons I quit was the waste of money. Yeah, not quite as good a reason as my health but that was to come later after after I got the nic outta my system and started reading the lit here.

I was at the register purchasing myself some smokey mountain and noticed something on the tobacco rack. The product i used to use has now released their new marketing ploy. They are now selling their garbage in a bucket with a refillable tin for you to carry around. The price made it less than a $1 per can.

I found myself smuttering that this was fucking insane. So this is how they are going to get around cost and keep the cost down, thus eliminating the money issue alot of people use to quit.

I was just wanting to run this by everyone and see what your opinions are. It seems the opposition is going to do what ever they can to keep people hooked.

MSymonds- Day 25, I quit with everyone here and thank all of you for the support...

Please comment the hell out of this guy. I just sent him this:

Brad,

I would suggest your test subjects visit these URLs before undergoing your study:

http://www.outdoortexan.com/mycancer.htm

http://whyquit.com/whyquit/A_Gruen.html

http://www.tobacco-facts.info/oral_cancer.htm

before you hook them on something that pushes massive amounts of nicotine into their system through the lip. In effect, you are doing the same as introducing a heroin addict to the needle after they have been snorting it. I am 48 days quit from smokeless after 25 years of hundreds of attempts to quit. When your test subjects come back to you asking why you pushed them to a nasty addiction more powerful than smoking and heroin, pray for them, and send them to

http://killthecan.org/

where they might have a fighting chance to survive.

I know you won't approve this comment to your blog, because it contradicts your research, but I hope you read it and visit the links, if you are man enough.

From his 'about me' section:

My research is supported by unrestricted grants from tobacco manufacturers to the University of Louisville and by the Kentucky Research Challenge Trust Fund. View my complete profile

He's just a whore for UST...Professor of Death at Univ of Louisville....I wonder how he reconciles his conscience? Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a thing.

501 days nicotine free! Killthecan rocks! Come join us!

Brothers (and Sisters),

I was just hoping to get a little help from a quit bro with a little patience. I am by no means a computer genius, but I'm also not an idiot (I think). Anyhow, I can't seem to figure out how to add a reply when there are quote boxes within quote boxes within boxes, etc.....I can't seem to get the last quote in a box. Is there a tutorial or some help somebody can give me???

Don't cut and paste when quoting. Just add your 2 cents in the top box.

Practice here: Test Thread

If anyone cares...

I post roll first thing every morning in April 11.

If you see my post there on a given day, I am quit. Same with frazzled, now, csu, parputt, Los, Ty, gig, Denney, Kd, cane, firejim, etc.

Post roll.

Keep your word.

Repeat.

If you fail to post roll daily or are generally a lying ass dog with zero integrity, you will fail.

That is all.
