Some people say that they are going to quit for their kids. My friends all say that oh well when I get pregnant I will stop. But when you stop and think about it the more you smoke the more you get addicted so by the time you are even old enough to think about kids you are so addicted that you can't stop. My mom started smoking with her boyfriend and when I found out she told me that she would quit. That was two years ago and she still smokes. The other day I told her if it doesn't change within a year I'm done and I am moving into my dads house. My dad may yell a lot and we may always fight but atleast he doesn't smoke. And I'm taking my sister with me too.
Even if you can stop before the time you have kids you still have the problem of all the damage you have done to your body. You may not see effects from it right away but give it a few years. Even if you smoke for only a year or two theres still the chance of getting cancer from it and you may not even live to see your kids reach their 16th birthdays. Is that really what you want just because you want to get rid of some stress? Read a book go for a walk go to the movies with a friend or significant other. Theres plenty more ways of getting rid of the drama in your lifes then lighting up.

I do argree that it is bad and its a shame when people say that they will quit and they dont !!! Thank you again hunny xxx

Smoking is a bad habit, I had that habit from grade 5 and was smoking 3 packs a day when I quit cold turkey 20 years ago.
All I can say is to stop smoking you have to want to stop and that is all there is to it.

This is all very true. I am working on quitting smoking. It is hard, but I am trying. A lot of people go "Oh, it's so hard to quit! I just can't do it!" wanna know why? it's because they stay putting themselves in situations with friends and other people who smoke... like they constantly go to peoples houses where they are smoking (I say this because I do this...) If they kept themselves away from that temptation, they wouldn't have to be worrying about "Oh, I need a cigarette" or "I want one" we don't need them, I know that. anyways, I'm lecturing... sorry hon. lol. But yeah, you are right.

anyway i do know the feeling like alot of my friends do pot and i try and stay away from it now if i can help it.

I hear you on that one. yeah, I used to smoke pot, I'm not even going to try lying... but I quit for two reasons... seizures and my son. I haven't smoked it since sometime last year... which i only smoked for a little while. The last time someone lit up some in front of me (I was about... what, 8 months pregnant at that time) I looked at them like "Hey, I'm gonna go outside and get some fresh air. I don't need to be around this" And I did very good doing that. Now, to quit smoking cigarettes... lol. and it's very true that the more you smoke, the more addicted you are... and the HARDER it is for that person to quit (I would know from experience...) I used to smoke about a pack a day... now it's like... maybe 4 or 5 a day... sometimes more... but I'm really working on it. Thanks for sharing this btw.
